Question : Directions: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
I. Some chimpanzees are tigers.
II. All tigers are elephants.
Conclusions:
I. Some elephants are tigers.
II. Some elephants are chimpanzees.

Option 1: Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Option 2: Only conclusion I follows

Option 3: Both conclusions I and II follow

Option 4: Only conclusion II follows

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Both conclusions I and II follow


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyze the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some elephants are tigers – From the Venn diagram, the circle of a tiger is completely inside the circle of the elephant. Therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion (II): Some elephants are chimpanzees – From the Venn diagram, the circle of chimpanzees intersects with the circle of elephants and has a common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion is true.

So, both conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : The given histogram shows the frequency distribution of the speed of cars passing through at a particular spot on a highway. Study the graph and answer the question that follows.


The number of cars with speeds between 70 km/h and 80 km/h is what percentage more than the number of cars with speeds between 50 km/h and 60 km/h? (correct to one decimal place)

Option 1: 22.2 %

Option 2: 15.5 %

Option 3: 28.6 %

Option 4: 29.7 %

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 28.6 %


Solution : According to the question
Number of cars in 70 - 80 km/h range(A) = 90
Number of cars in 50 - 60 km /h range(B) = 70
Use: A is more than B in percentage  = $\frac{(A- B)}{B}$×100
⇒ Required percentage = $\frac{90 - 70}{70}$×100 
= 28.56% ~ 28.6%
Hence, the correct answer is 28.6%.

Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one or more number(s) missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
?, 5, 30, 186, 1309, 10480

Option 1: 0.25

Option 2: 0.75

Option 3: 1.00

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.25


Solution : Given:
?, 5, 30, 186, 1309, 10480

Multiply and add the sequential natural numbers to the previous term of the series –
(5 × 5) + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30
(30 × 6) + 6 = 180 + 6 = 186
(186 × 7) + 7 = 1302 + 7 = 1309
(1309 × 8) + 8 = 10472 + 8 = 10480
Similarly, (? × 4) + 4 = 5→(? × 4) = 1→(?) = 0.25

So, 0.25 is the missing term of the given series. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: A father's age is one more than 5 times his son's age. After 3 years, the father's age would be 2 less than four times the son's age. Find the present age of the father.

Option 1: 30 years

Option 2: 40 years

Option 3: 31 years

Option 4: 29 years

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 31 years


Solution : Let the present age of the father and son be F and S years respectively.

The father's present age is 1 more than 5 times his son's age ⇒ F = (5 × S) + 1
Father's age after 3 years = (5 × S) + 4
Son's age after 3 years = S + 3
After 3 years, the father's age would be 2 less than four times the son's age.
⇒ (5 × S) + 4 = 4 × (S + 3) – 2
⇒ (5 × S) + 4 = (4 × S) + 12 – 2 = (4 × S) + 10
⇒ S = 6
⇒ F = (5 × S) + 1
= 5 × 6 + 1 = 30 + 1 = 31 years.

So, the present age of the father is 31 years. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Study the bar graph and answer the question.

In how many years was the number of trees planted in state B more than the average number of trees planted in state A over the years?

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Use the formula, $\text{Average} = \frac{\text{The sum of all values}}{\text{The total number of the values}}$.
The average number of trees planted in state A over the years $=\frac{70+90+78+92+100}{5}=\frac{430}{5}=86$
There are 3 years in 2015, 2016, and 2018 in which the number of trees planted in state B is more than the average number of trees planted in state A over the years.
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

Question : Directions: In the following question, which of the answer figures is exactly the mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is held at XY?

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear close to the mirror in the reflection.
So, according to the above property and the information provided, the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line XY). So, the left side of the reflected image will appear as the right side and the right side will appear as the left side. However, the top and bottom of the reflected image will remain the same.
Thus, the correct mirror image of the given figure will be –

Hence, the first option is correct.

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : Since the rotation is restricted. So, the embedded figure will have the same orientation as the main figure. By comparison of all the option figures, the given question figure is embedded only in the fourth option figure.

Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: Select the related letter cluster from the given alternatives.
GAYATRI : AAR :: PALLAVI : ?

Option 1: ALI

Option 2: AAL

Option 3: ALA

Option 4: ALV

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ALV


Solution : Given:
GAYATRI : AAR :: PALLAVI : ?

If we take every other letter of the word GAYATRI, we get the sequence AAR. (GAYATRI)
Thus, GAYATRI is coded as AAR. 
Similarly, if we take every other letter of the word PALLAVI, we get the sequence ALV. (PALLAVI)

Thus, PALLAVI is coded as ALV. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: The second number in the given number pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) is/are followed in all the number pairs, except one. Find that odd number pair.

Option 1: (1826, 1472)

Option 2: (1984, 1505)

Option 3: (1805, 1326)

Option 4: (2136, 1657)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (1826, 1472)


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: (1826, 1472); 1826 – 1472 = 354 
Second option: (1984, 1505); 1984 – 1505 = 479
Third option: (1805, 1326); 1805 – 1326 = 479
Fourth option: (2136, 1657); 2136 – 1657 = 479

So, only the first option is different from the other three options as here the difference between the numbers is 354 instead of 479. Hence, the first option is correct.
