Option 3: P

Option 4: As

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: N

Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number.
9 : 102 :: 11 : 146 :: 13 : ?

Option 1: 198

Option 2: 200

Option 3: 175

Option 4: 171

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 198


Solution : Given:
9 : 102 :: 11 : 146 :: 13 : ?

Add 1 to the given number and then find the square of the resultant number and add 2 to obtain the missing term –
Here, 9 : 102→(9 + 1)2 + 2 = (10)2 + 2 = 100 + 2 = 102
And, 11 : 146→(11 + 1)2 + 2 = (12)2 + 2 = 144 + 2 = 146
Similarly, follow the same pattern for 13; (13 + 1)2 + 2 = (14)2​ + 2 = 196 + 2 = 198

So, 198 is the missing number in the given pair of numbers. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, GARDEN is written as OFESBH, and LADDER is written as SFEEBM. How will HANDLE be written in that language?

Option 1: FMDOBI

Option 2: FMEOBI

Option 3: FMGOBI

Option 4: FMFOBI

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: FMEOBI


Solution : Given:
GARDEN is written as OFESBH and LADDER is written as SFEEBM.

Add 1 to the place value of each letter of GARDEN and LADDER and then reverse the order of the letters to get the required code.

So, GARDEN is written as OFESBH.

So, LADDER is written as SFEEBM.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for HANDLE –

So, HANDLE is written as FMEOBI. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Let A and B be two towers with the same base. From the midpoint of the line joining their feet, the angles of elevation of the tops of a and b are 30and 45o, respectively. The ratio of the heights of A and B is:

Option 1: $1: 3$

Option 2: $1: \sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{3}: 1$

Option 4: $3: 1$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1: \sqrt{3}$


Solution :
In $\triangle ACE$,
$\frac{AC}{CE} = \tan 30^{\circ}$
⇒ $\frac{AC}{CE} = \frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
⇒ $CE = \sqrt3 AC$ -------------(i)
In $\triangle BDE$,
$\frac{BD}{ED} = \tan 45^{\circ}$
⇒ $\frac{BD}{ED} = 1$
⇒ $ED = BD$ -------------(ii)
Since CE = ED,
⇒ $\sqrt 3 AC = BD$
⇒ $\frac{AC}{BD} = \frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
So, the ratio of heights = $1: \sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $1: \sqrt3$.

Question : The marked price of an article is 40% more than its cost price. If a 10% discount is given, what is the profit percentage?

Option 1: 10%

Option 2: 20%

Option 3: 26%

Option 4: 32%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 26%


Solution : Given:
The marked price of an article is 40% more than its cost price.
Let, the cost price be 100 units.
So, the marked price is (100 + 40% of 100) = 100 + 40 = 140 units
A discount of 10% on the marked price is given.
Hence, selling price is $140×\frac{90}{100}=126$ units
Profit = 126 – 100 = 26 units
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}×100=\frac{26}{100}×100=26$%
Hence, the correct answer is 26%.

Question : The mean of 9 observations is 16. When one more observation is included, the new mean becomes 17. What is the value of the 10th observation?

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 16

Option 3: 26

Option 4: 30

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 26


Solution : Given:
The mean of 9 observations is 16. One more observation is included and the new mean after becomes 17.
Tenth observation = sum of ten observations – sum of nine observations
= (17 × 10) – (16 × 9)
= 170 – 144
= 26
Hence, the correct answer is 26.

Question : Directions: When a number is added to its next number and another number that is four times its next number, the sum of these three numbers is 95. Find the number.

Option 1: 16

Option 2: 14

Option 3: 17

Option 4: 15

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15


Solution : Let, the number be x
According to the question –
x + (x + 1) + 4(x + 1) = 95
By solving the above equation –
6x + 5 = 95 
6x = 95 – 5
6x = 90
x = 90 ÷ 6 = 15

So, the number is 15. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
