Question : The average mark obtained by 180 students in an examination is 50. If the average mark of passed students is 80 and that of the failed students is 40, then what is the number of students who failed the examination?

Option 1: 90

Option 2: 135

Option 3: 100

Option 4: 45

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 135


Solution : Let the number of failed students be $x$.
Total marks obtained = 180 × 50 = 9000
According to the question,
40$x$ + (180 – $x$) × 80 = 9000
⇒ 40$x$ + 14400 – 80$x$ = 9000
⇒ 40$x$ = 5400
⇒ $x$ = 135
Hence, the correct answer is 135.

Question : Study the given bar graph and answer the question that follows. The bar graph shows the export of rice (in lakhs) during five years.

In how many years was the export of rice less than the average export for the five years?

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The total export for the five years = 10.4 + 13 + 15.6 + 21.6 + 18.8 = 79.4 lakh tons of rice
$\therefore$ The average yearly export = $\frac{79.4}{5}$ = 15.88 lakh tons of rice per year.
The exports were less than the average in three years: 2010, 2011, and 2012.
$\therefore$ The export of rice was less than the average export in 3 years.
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

Question : If $a+b=10$ and $ab=6$, then the value of $a^3+b^3$ is:

Option 1: 800

Option 2: 820

Option 3: 860

Option 4: 840

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 820


Solution : According to the question,
$a + b$ = 10 and $ab$ = 6
⇒ $(a + b)^{2}$ = 102
⇒ $a^{2} + 2ab + b^{2}$ = 100
⇒ $a^{2} + 2(6) + b^{2}$ = 100
⇒ $a^{2} + 12 + b^{2}$ = 100
⇒ $a^{2} + b^{2}$ = 88
Now,
⇒  $a^{3} + b^{3} = (a + b)(a^{2} − ab + b^{2})=(10)(88 − 6)=10 × 82$ = 820 
Hence, the correct answer is 820.

Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
PORK, NQPM, LSNO, JULQ, ?

Option 1: HXJS

Option 2: HXKS

Option 3: HWJS

Option 4: HWKR

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: HWJS


Solution : Given:
PORK, NQPM, LSNO, JULQ, ?

In the above-given series, subtract 2 from the place values of the first and third letters, and add 2 to the place values of the second and fourth letters to obtain the next letter cluster.
PORK→P – 2 = N; O + 2 = Q; R – 2 = P; K + 2 = M
NQPM→N – 2 = L; Q + 2 = S; P – 2 = N; M + 2 = O
LSNO→L – 2 = J; S + 2 = U; N – 2 = L; O + 2 = Q
JULQ→J – 2 = H; U + 2 = W; L – 2 = J; Q + 2 = S

So, HWJS is the missing term of the series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : In the following figure, AB is the diameter of a circle whose centre is O. If $\angle AOE=150^{\circ},\angle DAO=51^{\circ}$ then the measure of $\angle CBE$ is:

Option 1: 115°

Option 2: 110°

Option 3: 105°

Option 4: 120°

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 105°


Solution :
According to the given figure in question,
Given $\angle$AOE = 150° and $\angle$DAO = 51°
Now, $\angle$EOB + $\angle$AOE = 180°
⇒ $\angle$EOB = 180° – 150° = 30°
Also, OE = OB
⇒ $\angle$OEB = $\angle$OBE = $\frac{150}{2}$ = 75°
⇒ $\angle$CBE = 180° – 75° = 105°
Hence, the correct answer is 105°.

Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered meaningful words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.)
Wrestling : Arena :: Ice–Skating : ?

Option 1: Track

Option 2: Rink

Option 3: Stadium

Option 4: Ground

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rink


Solution : Given:
Wrestling : Arena :: Ice–Skating : ?

The second term is an area where the sport given in the first term has been played –
Like in, Wrestling : Arena → The area where wrestling is played is known as Arena.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for Ice–Skating : ? → The area where the Ice–Skating is played is known as the Rink.

So, the rink is related to the king in the same way as the convent is related to the nun. Hence, the second option is correct.
