Question : Directions: In the following question, select the one which is different from the other three alternatives.

Option 1: EGKQ

Option 2: CEIO

Option 3: LNQW

Option 4: PRVB

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: LNQW


Solution : Let's check each option –

First option: EGKQ; G – E = 2; K – G = 4; Q – K = 6; The difference between the letters follows the increasing order of the even numbers.
Second option: CEIO; E – C = 2; I – E = 4; O – I = 6; The difference between the letters follows the increasing order of the even numbers.
Third option: LNQW; N – L = 2; Q – N = 3; W – Q = 6; The difference between the letters does not follow the increasing order of the even numbers.
Fourth option: PRVB; R – P = 2; V – R = 4; B – V = 6; The difference between the letters follows the increasing order of the even numbers.

So, LNQW is different from the other three. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: In a code language, if she was working is written as 592, I was curious is written as 267, and she is curious is written as 987, then what will be the code for the word she in this language?

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given:
1. She was working is written as 592
2. I was curious is written as 267
3. She is curious is written as 987

By comparing, all three coded sentences –
 In sentences 1 and 2, was and 2 are common.
In sentences 1 and 3, she and 9 are common.
In statements 2 and 3, curious and 7 are common.
The remaining word and code in sentence 1 are working and 5; in sentence 2 are I and 6; in sentence 3 are is and 8.

So, she will be coded as 9. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : From the peak of a hill 300 m high, the angle of depression of two sides of a bridge lying on the ground are $45°$ and $30°$ (both ends of the bridge are on the same side of the hill). Then the length of the bridge is:

Option 1: $300(\sqrt3 - 1)$ m

Option 2: $300(\sqrt3 + 1)$ m

Option 3: $300\sqrt3$ m

Option 4: $\frac{300}{\sqrt3}$ m

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $300(\sqrt3 - 1)$ m


Solution :
$AB$ = height of peak = 300 m
$CD$ = length of Bridge
We are given the angle of depression,
i.e., $\angle EAC = 45°$ and $\angle EAD = 30°$
⇒ $\angle ACB = 45°$ and $\angle ADB = 30°$
Now, \(In \triangle ABC\)
\(\tan\theta = \frac{P}{B}\)
\(\tan45 ^{\circ} =\frac{AB}{BC}\)
\(1=\frac{AB}{BC}=AB:BC=1:1\)
\(In\ \triangle ABD,\)
⇒ \(\tan30 ^{\circ} =\frac{AB}{BD}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{AB}{BD}\Rightarrow AB:BD=1:\sqrt{3}\)
Now,
\(CD = BD - BC\)
⇒ \(CD \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}-1\)
$AB$ = 1 unit = 300 metre
So, $CD=(\sqrt{3}-1)$ units = $300(\sqrt{3}-1)$ metres
Hence, the correct answer is $300(\sqrt3 - 1)$ m.

Question : A sum of Rs. 800 becomes Rs. 956 in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest. If the rate of interest is increased by 4%, what amount will the same sum become in 3 years?

Option 1: Rs. 1025

Option 2: Rs. 1042

Option 3: Rs. 1052

Option 4: Rs. 1024

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 1052


Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 800, Amount = Rs. 956, and Time = 3 years
Rate of interest, $R$ = 4% for extra interest
Use the formula below.
Extra Simple Interest = $\frac{\text{Principle×Rate×Time}}{100}$ 
= $\frac{800×3×4}{100}$
= Rs. 96
So, the total amount received = 956 + 96 = Rs. 1052
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1052.

Question : Directions: Three of the following four pairs of letter clusters are alike in a certain way and one is different. Select the odd one.

Option 1: OPR – JKL

Option 2: BFX – YUC

Option 3: PHJ – KSQ

Option 4: RTV – IGE

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: OPR – JKL


Solution : Let's check each option –
First option: OPR – JKL;  The opposite letter of O is not J; the opposite letter of P is K; and the opposite letter of R is not L.
Second option: BFX –  YUC;  The opposite letter of B is Y; the opposite letter of F is U; and the opposite letter of X is C.
Third option: PHJ –  KSQ;  The opposite letter of P is K; the opposite letter of H is S; and the opposite letter of J is Q.
Fourth option: RTV –  IGE; The opposite letter of R is I; the opposite letter of T is G; and the opposite letter of V is E.

Therefore, the first option is different from the others as it does not have opposite letters. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : The two parallel sides of a trapezium are 27 cm and 13 cm respectively. If the height of the trapezium is 8, then what is its area in m2?

Option 1: 0.032

Option 2: 0.056

Option 3: 0.016

Option 4: 0.32

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.016


Solution : Given: The two parallel sides of a trapezium are 27 cm and 13 cm respectively.
Height = 8 cm
$\therefore$ Area of the trapezium
= $\frac{1}{2}\times$ sum of parallel sides × distance between parallel side
= $\frac{1}{2}\times  (27 + 13) \times 8$
= $\frac{1}{2}\times  40 \times  8$
= $160$ cm2
= $\frac{160}{10000}$ m2
= $0.016$ m2
Hence, the correct answer is 0.016.

Question : Asha and Suman's mud forts have 9 cm and 16 cm heights. If the fort tops are 25 cm apart from each other, then the distance (in cm) between the two forts is:

Option 1: 24

Option 2: 16

Option 3: 25

Option 4: 7

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24


Solution : Let the distance the fort CD be $x$.
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)
⇒ 252 = (Base)2 + (16 – 9)
⇒ (Base)2 = 625 – 49 = 576
⇒ Base = 24 cm
So, the distance between the forts is 24 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 24.

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

Option 1: courtly

Option 2: fair

Option 3: favouring

Option 4: partial

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: fair


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: "Just" refers to fairness, impartiality, or being in accordance with what is morally right or lawful. Among the options provided, "fair" aligns most closely with this meaning. It signifies treating everyone equally and without bias, just like "just" does.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Courtly means polite, refined, or elegant in behaviour
Favourite means something that is inclined towards or shows preference for.
Partial means biased or showing favouritism.

Therefore, the correct answer is fair.

Question : Which of the following numbers is not a factor of $5^p7^q,(p\neq 0,q\neq 0)$?

Option 1: 35

Option 2: 175

Option 3: 1225

Option 4: 735

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 735


Solution : Checking the factors of all the options for divisibility by 5 and 7.
35 = 5 × 7
175 = 5 × 5 × 7
1225 = 5 × 5 × 7 × 7
735 = 5 × 7 × 7 × 3
735 has a factor of 3 other than 5 and 7.
$\therefore$ 735 is not a factor of $5^p7^q$.
Hence, the correct answer is 735.
