Question : The perimeter of the top of a rectangular table is 56 metres and its area is 192 m2. What is the length of its diagonal?

Option 1: 22 metres

Option 2: 20 metres

Option 3: 16 metres

Option 4: 18 metres

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20 metres


Solution : Given: The perimeter of the top of a rectangular table is 56 metres and its area is 192 m2.
Use the formulas,
Perimeter = $2(l+b)$
Area = $l\times b$
Length of diagonal = $\sqrt{l^2+b^2}$
Where $l$ and $b$ are length and breadth.
Here, $2(l+b)=56$
⇒ $(l+b)=28$
Also, $lb=192$.
We know the identity, $a^2+b^2=(a+b)^2-2ab$.
⇒ $l^2+b^2=(l+b)^2-2lb$
Substitute the values in the above equation,
⇒ $l^2+b^2=(28)^2–2\times 192$
⇒ $l^2+b^2=784–384=400$
The length of its diagonal = $\sqrt{l^2+b^2}$ = $\sqrt{400}$ = 20 m.
Hence, the correct answer is 20 metres.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Both of my parents are dependent on my salary for their living.

Question :

Directions: In the following question, you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following symbols:
If × means –; – means ×; + means ÷ and ÷ means +; then 
(15 – 10) ÷ (130 + 10) × 50 = ?

Option 1: 1800

Option 2: 113

Option 3: 2000

Option 4: 123

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 113


Solution : Given:
× means –; – means ×; + means ÷ and ÷ means +.
(15 – 10) ÷ (130 + 10) × 50 = ?

After replacing the symbols, the equation becomes –
= (15 × 10) + (130 ÷ 10) – 50
= 150 + 13 – 50
= 163 – 50
= 113

So, 113 is the answer to the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : A1, A2, and A3 alone can complete a piece of work in 12 hours, 24 hours, and 16 hours respectively. Working together, in how much time will they complete the same work?

Option 1: 5 hours 30 minutes

Option 2: 5 hours 20 minutes

Option 3: 4 hours 20 minutes

Option 4: 3 hours 30 minutes

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5 hours 20 minutes


Solution : Time taken by A1 to do the work = 12 hours
⇒ 1 day's work of A1 = $\frac{1}{12}$
Time taken by A2 to do the work = 24 hours
⇒ 1 day's work of A2 = $\frac{1}{24}$
Time taken by A3 to do the work = 16 hours
⇒ 1 day's work of A3 = $\frac{1}{16}$
If A1, A2, and A3 work together, work will be done in a day
= $\frac{1}{12}$ + $\frac{1}{24}$ + $\frac{1}{16}$
= $\frac{4+2+3}{48}$
= $\frac{9}{48}$
= $\frac{3}{16}$
So, Time taken by A1, A2, and A3 together to do the work
= $\frac{16}{3}$
= $5\frac{1}{3}$ hours
= 5 hours 20 minutes
Hence, the correct answer is 5 hours 20 minutes.

Option 2: Audacious

Option 3: Autonomous

Option 4: Delible

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024
