Question : Directions: Select the option that represents the correct order of the given words as they would appear in an English dictionary.
1. Flint 2. Flec 3. Flaw  4. Fleet 5. Flight

Option 1: 3, 5, 4, 2, 1

Option 2: 2, 3, 4, 5, 1

Option 3: 3, 2, 4, 5, 1

Option 4: 3, 4, 2, 5, 1

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3, 2, 4, 5, 1


Solution : Given:
1. Flint 2. Flec 3. Flaw  4. Fleet 5. Flight

Step 1: Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter F and are followed by l, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The third letter of each word is a, e, or i. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Flaw, Flec, Fleet, Flint, Flight
Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of (Flec, Fleet). Flec will come before Fleet in the sequence as c comes before e in the alphabetical system. 
Step 4: Compare the fourth letter of (Flint, Flight). Flight will come before Flint in the sequence as g comes before n in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Flaw, Flec, Fleet, Flight, Flint, or 3, 2, 4, 5, 1. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: If + means −, − means ×, × means ÷, and ÷ means +, what will be the value of the following expression?
64 × 8 ÷ 24 – 5 + 3 = ?

Option 1: 7

Option 2: 125

Option 3: 64

Option 4: 157

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 125


Solution : Given:
64 × 8 ÷ 24 – 5 + 3 = ?

On interchanging the mathematical sign, we get –
= 64 ÷ 8 + 24 × 5 – 3
= 8 + 24 × 5 – 3
= 8 + 120 – 3
= 125

So, 125 is the required answer. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : The monthly income of two persons is in the ratio 4 : 5 and their expenditures are in the ratio 7 : 9. If each saves Rs. 50 per month, then their monthly incomes are:

Option 1: Rs. 900; Rs. 500

Option 2: Rs. 400; Rs. 500

Option 3: Rs. 700; Rs. 900

Option 4: Rs. 400; Rs. 700

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 400; Rs. 500


Solution : The monthly income of two persons is in the ratio 4 : 5 and their expenditures are in the ratio 7 : 9.
Let the monthly income of one person be 4$x$ and that of another be 5$x$,
Let the monthly expenditure of one person be 7$y$ and that of another be 9$y$.
According to the question,
$4x-7y=50$ .........................(1)
$5x-9y=50$ ..........................(2)
Solving these equations we get,
$x=100$ and $y= 50$
So, the income of one person $=4×100=400$
and the income of another person $=5×100=500$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 400; Rs. 500.

Option 3: Goat

Option 4: Donkey

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Goat

Question : If $x^2+8 y^2-12 y-4 x y+9=0$, then the value of $(7x-8y)$ is:

Option 1: 21

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 12

Option 4: 9

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : According to the question,
⇒  $x^2+8 y^2-12 y-4 x y+9=0$
⇒ $x^2 - 4xy + 4y^2 + 4y^2 - 12y + 9 = 0$
⇒ $(x - 2y)^2 + (2y - 3)^2 = 0$
⇒ $x - 2y = 0, 2y - 3 = 0$
⇒ $x = 2y, 2y = 3$
⇒ $x = 3, y = \frac{3}{2}$
Now, $7x - 8y$ = 7 × (3) – 8 × $\frac{(3)}{2}$
 = 21 – 12
= 9
Hence, the correct answer is 9.

Question : Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
SUBSEQUENT

Option 1: prior

Option 2: preceding

Option 3: antecedent

Option 4: consecutive

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Prior means existing or occurring before in time; earlier.
  • Preceding means coming before in time or order; going before.
  • Antecedent refers to something that comes before; a preceding event or circumstance.

Therefore, the correct answer is consecutive.

Question : The ratio of two numbers is 4 : 5. If both numbers are increased by 4 the ratio becomes 5 : 6. What is the sum of the two numbers?

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 18

Option 3: 27

Option 4: 36

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 36


Solution : Let the numbers be $4x$ and $5x$.
According to the question,
$\frac{4x+4}{5x+4}=\frac{5}{6}$
$⇒24x+24=25x+20$
$⇒x=4$
Thus, the numbers are 16 and 20.
So, the sum of the numbers = 16 + 20 = 36
Hence, the correct answer is 36.

Option 1: Increases

Option 2: Decreases

Option 3: Remain constant

Option 4: Will increase first then decrease

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

The round hole in the centre of a metal plate enlarges when the plate is heated. The following causes account for this:
The molecules along the rim of the hole and all the other component molecules vibrate more when the metal plate is heated. The metal plate expands as a result of the molecules along the rim of the hole.
