Question : Directions: Select the Venn diagram that best illustrates the relationship between the following classes.
Spectacles, Lens, Mirror

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : Based on the general information, the lens is used in the spectacles. So, the circle that represents the lens will lie inside the circle that represents spectacles. But, the mirror is not related to spectacles and lenses. So, the circle that represents the mirror will be drawn separately from the other two circles.
Therefore, the Venn diagram is as follows –

Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Out of 2500 people, only 60% have the saving habit. If 30% save with the bank, 32% with the post office, and the rest with shares, the number of shareholders is:

Option 1: 450

Option 2: 570

Option 3: 950

Option 4: 1250

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 570


Solution : Total number of people = 2500
People who have saving habit is 60% = $\frac{60}{100}$ × 2500 = 1500
People who saves with bank is 30% = $\frac{30}{100}$ × 1500 = 450
People who saves with post office is 32% = $\frac{32}{100}$ × 1500 = 480
Remaining people who save with share = 1500 –  450 – 480 = 570
Hence, the correct answer is 570.

Question : The price of motorcycles depreciates every year by 8%. If the value of the motorcycle after 2 years will be Rs. 84,640, then what is the present value (in Rs.) of the motorcycle?

Option 1: 90,000

Option 2: 1,02,000

Option 3: 1,10,000

Option 4: 1,00,000

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1,00,000


Solution : Let the present value of the motorcycle be $x$.
Value after 2 years $= x × (1-\frac{R}{100})^2$, where $R$ is the rate.
So, $84640 = x × (1-\frac{8}{100})^2$
⇒ $84640 = x × (\frac{23}{25})^2$
⇒ $x =84640 \times \frac{25\times 25}{23 \times 23}$
$\therefore x= 1,00,000$
Present Value = Rs. 1,00,000
Hence, the correct answer is 1,00,000.

Question : Directions: Identify the number which when added to itself 14 times gives 195.

Option 1: 16

Option 2: 13

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 14

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 13


Solution : Given:
The number which when added to itself 14 times gives 195.

Let the number be x
According to the question –
x + 14x = 195
15x = 195
x = 13

Therefore, the number is 13. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: Seven people, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, are sitting in a straight row, facing north. Only 2 people sit to the right of D. G is an immediate neighbour of D. Only 3 people sit between A and G. Only 2 people sit between B and C. E is not an immediate neighbour of C. F sits to the immediate right of G. Who sits to the immediate left of A?

Option 1: E

Option 2: C

Option 3: D

Option 4: B

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: C


Solution : Given:
(I) Only 2 people sit to the right of D. G is an immediate neighbour of D. Only 3 people sit between A and G. F sits to the immediate right of G.

(II) Only 2 people sit between B and C. E is not an immediate neighbour of C.

So, C sits to the immediate left of A. Hence, the second option is correct.

Solution : Given:
BEST : WVHE :: CROP : ?

Follow the pattern to obtain the required code –


Thus, BEST is coded as WVHE.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for CROP –
 

Thus, CROP is coded as SRUF. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : If $a-\frac{1}{a}=4$, then the value of $a+\frac{1}{a}$ is:

Option 1: $5 \sqrt{5}$

Option 2: $4 \sqrt{5}$

Option 3: $2 \sqrt{5}$

Option 4: $3 \sqrt{5}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2 \sqrt{5}$


Solution : Given: 
$a-\frac{1}{a}=4$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}-2=16$
⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=16+2$
⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=18$
Adding 2 on both sides, we get,
⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}+2=18+2$
⇒ $(a+\frac{1}{a})^2=20$
$\therefore a+\frac{1}{a}=2\sqrt5$
Hence, the correct answer is $2\sqrt5$.

Question : If $\frac{\tan\theta +\cot\theta }{\tan\theta -\cot\theta }=2, (0\leq \theta \leq 90^{0})$, then the value of $\sin\theta$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{2}{\sqrt3}$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$

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

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$


Solution : $\frac{\tan\theta +\cot\theta }{\tan\theta -\cot\theta }=2$
Use rule of componendo and dividendo i.e. If $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$ then, $\frac{a+b}{a-b}=\frac{c+d}{c-d}$. we have,
⇒ $\frac{\tan\theta +\cot\theta +\tan\theta -\cot\theta}{\tan\theta +\cot\theta -\tan\theta +\cot\theta}=\frac{2+1}{2-1}$
⇒$\frac{2\tan\theta}{2\cot\theta} = 3$
⇒ $\tan^2\theta=3$
⇒ $\sin^2\theta= 3\cos^2\theta$
⇒ $\sin^2\theta= 3(1-\sin^2\theta)$
⇒ $4\sin^2\theta= 3$
⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac{ \sqrt3 }{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{ \sqrt3 }{2}$.
