Option 2: DH

Option 3: FH

Option 4: EH

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

BD→B + 1 = C; D + 1 = E→CE
CE→C + 1 = D; E + 1 = F→DF
DF→D + 1 = E; F + 1 = G→EG
EG→E + 1 = F; G + 1 = H→FH

So, FH is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Four numbers are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 : 5. Two times their sum is 44. Find the ratio in the numbers obtained by subtracting 3 from the cube of each number

Option 1: 2 : 31 : 204 : 999

Option 2: 3 : 13 : 208 : 992

Option 3: 11 : 67 : 219 : 1003

Option 4: 5 : 61 : 213 : 997

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5 : 61 : 213 : 997


Solution : Let the numbers be $x$, $2x$, $3x$ and $5x$ respectively. According to the question,
$⇒ 2(x + 2x + 3x + 5x) = 44$
$⇒ 11x = \frac{44}{2}$
$⇒ x = \frac{22}{11} = 2$
So, the numbers are 2, 4, 6 and 10 respectively.
Cube of the numbers are 8, 64, 216, and 1000
Subtracting 3 from each term to get the required ratio$= 5 : 61 : 213 : 997$
Hence, the correct answer is 5 : 61 : 213 : 997.

Option 2: Blasphemy

Option 3: Corrugation

Option 4: Conjunction

  • Conjunction is a part of speech in grammar that connects words, phrases, or clauses within a sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is blasphemy.

Question : If $\cot \theta=\frac{4}{3}, 0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}$, and $5 p \cos ^2 \theta \sin \theta=\cot ^2 \theta$, then the value of $p$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{7}{27}$

Option 2: $\frac{125}{27}$

Option 3: $\frac{5}{27}$

Option 4: $\frac{25}{27}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{25}{27}$


Solution : Here, $\cot \theta = \frac{\text {Base}} {\text{Perpendicular}}$
Let Base = 4 units and Perpendicular = 3 units
Now, Using the Pythagoras theorem,
$H^2 = P^2 + B^2$
⇒ $H = \sqrt{(P2 + B2)}$
⇒ $H = \sqrt{(32 + 42)}$
⇒ $H = \sqrt{(9 + 16)}$
⇒ $H = \sqrt{(25)}$
⇒ H = 5
So, $\cos \theta = \frac{4}{5}$ and $\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5}$
Now, $5 p \cos ^2 \theta \sin \theta=\cot ^2 \theta$
⇒ $5p (\frac{4}{5})^2\frac{3}{5} = (\frac{4}{3})^2$ 
⇒ $5p (\frac{16}{25})(\frac{3}{5}) = (\frac{16}{9})$ 
⇒ $p (\frac{3}{25})= (\frac{1}{9})$ 
⇒ $p = (\frac{1}{9})(\frac{25}{3})$ 
⇒ $p = (\frac{25}{27})$ 
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{25}{27}$.

Question : Directions: In the following question, choose the correct alternative that will improve the part of the sentence given in quotes.

The conference "will been a" celebration of women's achievements.

  1. will be an
  2. would be an
  3. will be a
  4. No Improvement

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: Here, will be a is the correct choice to convey that the conference is a celebration of women's achievements in the future. Will be a is the future tense of the verb to be followed by the indefinite article a, since the celebration starts with a consonant sound. The simple future tense is used for the action that will happen in the future.

Other options are as follows:

  • Will been a is not grammatically correct. Been is the past participle form of the verb to be, and it doesn't fit in this context.
  • Would be an is often used to express a conditional or hypothetical situation, which is not suitable in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The conference will be a celebration of women's achievements."
