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 $\frac{ \sqrt3 }{2}$.

Question : Directions: From the given options, which answer figure can be formed by folding the figure given in the question?

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : In the 3D view of dice,
1. Each face out of the three faces in the 3D view should be from all the pairs.
2. Two opposite faces cannot appear adjacently in the 3D view of a folded cube figure.
So, the opposite pairs of faces are as follows –

(6 ⇔ 4), (3 ⇔ 1), and (5 ⇔ 2) are the opposite pairs of faces.

Thus,

is possible and will be formed by folding the dice. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "no error."

The lions kill the animals and eat his meat.

(1) The lions

(2) and eat his meat

(3) kill the animals

(4) No error

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error is in the second option: eat his meat.

The part "and eat his meat" contains an error. The possessive adjective "his" is used to indicate that something belongs to or relates to a male and is not used with the plural form of animals. Instead, the plural pronoun "their" is used in the correct context to match the plural noun "animals".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be "The lions kill the animals and eat their meat".

Question : Simplify:
$5 \frac{1}{3}-\left\{4 \frac{1}{3}+\left(3 \frac{1}{3} \div \overline{2 \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}\right)\right\}$

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

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

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

Option 4: $-\frac{2}{3}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-\frac{2}{3}$


Solution : $5 \frac{1}{3}-\left\{4 \frac{1}{3}+\left(3 \frac{1}{3} \div \overline{2 \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}\right)\right\}$
$=\frac{16}{3}-\left\{ \frac{13}{3}+\left( \frac{10}{3} \div \overline{\frac{7}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}\right)\right\}$
$=\frac{16}{3}-\left\{ \frac{13}{3}+\left( \frac{10}{3} \div 2\right)\right\}$
​​​​​​​$=\frac{16}{3}-\left\{ \frac{13}{3}+( \frac{5}{3})\right\}$
​​​​​​​$=-\frac{2}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is ​​​​​​​$-\frac{2}{3}$.

Question : If $r$ is the remainder when each of 6454, 7306, and 8797 is divided by the greatest number $d(d>1)$, then $(d-r)$ is equal to:

Option 1: 126

Option 2: 64

Option 3: 137

Option 4: 149

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 149


Solution : If the remainder in each case is the same.
7306 – 6454 = 852
8797 – 7306 = 1491
8797 – 6454 = 2343
HCF of 852, 1491, and 2343:

HCF = 213
So, the greatest number, $d$ = 213

Remainder, $r$ = 64
$\therefore d - r$ = 213 – 64 = 149
Hence, the correct answer is 149.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, CAGES is written as NADYB. How is WATER written in that code language?

Option 1: MAQYV

Option 2: SGWEB

Option 3: QCPVR

Option 4: VYQAM

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: MAQYV


Solution : Given:
CAGES is written as NADYB.

Subtract consecutive natural numbers from the place values of each letter of CAGES and then reverse them to get the required code –
C – 1 = B; A – 2 = Y; G – 3 = D; E – 4 = A; S – 5 = N
BYDAN→NADYB
Thus, CAGES is coded as NADYB.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for WATER –
W – 1 = V; A – 2 = Y; T – 3 = Q; E – 4 = A; R – 5 = M
VYQAM→MAQYV

Thus, WATER is coded as MAQYV. Hence, the first option is correct.
