Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd letter cluster from the given alternatives.

Option 1: AJDG

Option 2: KTNQ

Option 3: JMSP

Option 4: UDXA

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: JMSP


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: AJDG; A + 9 = J; J – 6 = D; D + 3 = G
Second option: KTNQ; K + 9 = T; T – 6 = N; N + 3 = Q
Third option: JMSP; J + 3 = M; M + 6 = S; S – 3 = P
Fourth option: UDXA; U + 9 = D; D – 6 = X; X + 3 = A

So, the third option is different from the other three options because the difference in the position value of the letters is different. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : The speed of a boat in still water is thrice the speed of the stream. If the boat takes 15.5 sec to go to a certain place downstream, then find the additional time required to cover the same distance travelling upstream.

Option 1: 15.5 sec

Option 2: 29 sec

Option 3: 31 sec

Option 4: 35 sec

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15.5 sec


Solution : Let the speed of the stream as v and the speed of the boat in still water as 3v.
When the boat is moving downstream (i.e., with the current), its effective speed is the sum of its own speed and the speed of the stream, which is 3v + v = 4v
If the boat takes 15.5 seconds to cover a certain distance downstream, the distance as d = 4v × 15.5
When the boat is moving upstream (i.e., against the current), its effective speed is the difference between its own speed and the speed of the stream, which is 3v – v = 2v
The time it takes to cover the same distance upstream, t = $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{2v}}$ = $\frac{(\text{4v × 15.5})}{ (\text{2v})}$ = 31 sec
$\therefore$ The additional time required to cover the same distance travelling upstream is 31 – 15.5 = 15.5 sec
Hence, the correct answer is 15.5 sec.

Question : If the 9-digit number 97x4562y8 is divisible by 88, what is the value of $\left(x^2+y^2\right)$ for the smallest value of y, given that x and y are natural numbers?

Option 1: 64

Option 2: 68

Option 3: 76

Option 4: 80

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 80


Solution :

Factors of 88 = 8 × 11
If a number is divisible by 88 then it will be divisible by 8 and 11 also.
The given number is 97x4562y8.
For the smallest possible value of y considering that y is a natural number,
2y8 will be divisible by 8
So, y will be 4 for 248, which is divisible by 8.
As y = 4,
Sum of even places in number = 8 + 2 + 5 + x + 9 = 24 + x
Sum of odd places in number = 7 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 21
Difference between sums = 24 + x – 21 = 3 + x
For 3 + x to be divisible by 11, x = 11 – 3 = 8
Value of $x^2 + y^2$
= $4^2 + 8^2$
= 16 + 64
= 80
Hence, the correct answer is 80.

Question : A scooter runs at a speed of 49 km/hr after repair and runs at 42 km/hr before repair. It covers a certain distance in 7 hours after repair. How much time will it take to cover twice the distance before repairing?

Option 1: 8 hours 10 minutes

Option 2: 12 hours 20 minutes

Option 3: 16 hours 20 minutes

Option 4: 18 hours 30 minutes

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16 hours 20 minutes


Solution : Use: Time = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$
Speed of the scooter before repair = 42 km/hr
Distance covered in 7 hours after repairing = 7 × 49 = 343 km
When the distance is doubled = 2 × 343 = 686 km
Time taken to cover 686 km with a speed of before repairing = $\frac{686}{42}$ = $\frac{49}{3}$ = $16\frac{1}{3}$ hours
= 16 hours 20 minutes
Hence, the correct answer is 16 hours 20 minutes.
