Question : Directions: In a certain code language, SPAM is coded as 36, and JUG is coded as 27. How will FROCK be coded in that language?

Option 1: 72

Option 2: 45

Option 3: 90

Option 4: 48

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 45


Solution : Given:
SPAM is coded as 36, JUG is coded as 27.

Multiply the numbers of letters in the given word by 9 to obtain the required code.
SPAM→Number of letters→4 = 4 × 9 = 36
JUG→Number of letters→3 = 3 × 9 = 27
Similarly, FROCK→Number of letters→5 = 5 × 9 = 45

So, FROCK is coded as 45. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2) and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).

The workers should have been more meticulous.

(1) committed

(2) precise

(3) punctual

(4) No Improvement

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Meticulous should be replaced with committed to convey the intended meaning. Committed means willing to work hard and give time and energy to something.

Meticulous means showing great attention to detail and being very careful and precise. Precise means careful and exact in details. Punctual means being on time. These options, while correct, are not as apt to be used in the context of the sentence as committed.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The workers should have been more committed​​​​​​.

Question : The area of a trapezium-shaped field is 1785 square feet. The distance between the two parallel sides is 35 feet and one of the parallel sides is 42 feet long. What is the length of the other parallel side?

Option 1: 60 feet

Option 2: 35 feet

Option 3: 40 feet

Option 4: 65 feet

Height = 35 feet
One of the parallel sides = 42 feet
Let the other side be $x$.
Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}\times$ Sum of parallel sides $\times$ Height
⇒ $1785 = \frac{1}{2}\times(42+x)\times35$
⇒ $102 =42+x$
$\therefore x=60$ feet
Hence, the correct answer is 60 feet.
