Question : Directions: Select the option related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term.
6 : 32 :: 10 : ? :: 11 : 117

Option 1: 99

Option 2: 110

Option 3: 88

Option 4: 96

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 96


Solution : Given:
6 : 32 :: 10 : ? :: 11 : 117

Square the number given in the first term and then subtract 4 from the resultant number, to obtain the required missing term –
Like, 6 : 32→62 – 4 = 36 – 4 = 32
And, 11 : 117→112 – 4 = 121 – 4 = 117
Similarly, follow the same pattern for 10 : ?→
102 – 4 = 100 – 4 = 96

So, 96 is the required missing number. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : If $a^2+b^2=2$ and $c^2+d^2=1$, then the value of $(ad-bc)^2+(ac+bd)^2$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{4}{9}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $1$

Option 4: $2$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2$


Solution : Given: $a^2+b^2=2$ and $c^2+d^2=1$
$(ad-bc)^2+(ac+bd)^2$
$= (ad)^2+(bc)^2-2abcd+(ac)^2+(bd)^2+2abcd$
$=d^2(a^2+b^2)+c^2(a^2+b^2)$
$=(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)$
$=2 \times 1$
$=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : Study the given graph and answer the question that follows.

What is the difference between the production of company C in 2015 and the production of company B in 2018?

Option 1: 15,00,000 tonnes

Option 2: 1,00,000 tonnes

Option 3: 10,000 tonnes

Option 4: 10,00,000 tonnes

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10,00,000 tonnes


Solution : According to the question,
Production of cement by company C in 2015 = 45 lakh tonnes
Production of cement by company B in 2018 = 55 lakh tonnes
Now the difference in both amounts = 55 lakh tonnes – 45 lakh tons = 10 lakh tonnes or 10,00,000 tonnes
Hence, the correct answer is 10,00,000 tonnes.

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

Option 1: Complete

Option 2: Articulate

Option 3: Unambiguous

Option 4: Doubted

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Unambiguous


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Unequivocal means leaving no doubt or uncertainty. In this context, unambiguous is a suitable synonym because it also conveys the idea of being clear, definite, and without any ambiguity or confusion.

The meanings of the other words are:

  • Articulate: Able to express thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively; well-spoken.
  • Complete: Having all necessary or normal parts, components, or steps; entirely finished or whole.
  • Doubted: To be uncertain about something; to consider something unlikely or question its validity or truth.

Therefore, the right answer is unambiguous.

Question : A 64 cm wide path is made around a circular garden having a diameter of 10 metres. The area (in m2) of the path is closest to: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Option 1: 10

Option 2: 21

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 9

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 21


Solution : Width of the circular path = 64 cm
Diameter of the circular garden = 10m = 1000 cm
The radius of the circular garden = $\frac{1000}{2}$ = 500 cm
Inner radius, $r$ = 500 cm 
Outer radius, $R$ = (500 + 64) = 564 cm
Area of path = Outer area – Inner area
= $\pi (R^2-r^2)$
= $\frac{22}{7} \times (564^2 - 500^2)$
= $\frac{22}{7} \times (564 + 500)(564 - 500)$
= $\frac{22}{7} \times 1064 \times 64$
= $214016 $ cm2
= $21.4016\approx 21$ m2
Hence, the correct answer is 21.

Question : The given bar graph represents the number of boys and girls in five different schools. Study the graph and answer the question that follows.


In which school is the percentage of girls the lowest?

Option 1: B

Option 2: A

Option 3: E

Option 4: C

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: E


Solution : According to the question
Percentage of girls in a school= $\frac{\text{Number of girls}}{\text{Total number of students}}$ × 100
In school A, percentage of girls = $\frac{500}{1100}$ × 100 = 45.4%
In school B, percentage of girls = $\frac{550}{1000}$ × 100 = 55%
In school C, percentage of girls = $\frac{650}{1400}$ × 100 = 46.4%
In school D, percentage of girls = $\frac{600}{1300}$ × 100 = 46.1%
In school E, percentage of girls = $\frac{650}{1450}$ × 100  = 44.8%
So, school E has a minimum percentage of girls. 
Hence, the correct answer is E.
