Question : Directions: In a certain code language, BOOK is coded as 47, and PEN is coded as 38. How will NOTEPAD be coded in that language?

Option 1: 84

Option 2: 82

Option 3: 75

Option 4: 80

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 82


Solution : Given:
BOOK is coded as 47, and PEN is coded as 38. 

Add the positional value of the alphabets and the number of the alphabets of the given word to obtain a code.
BOOK→2 + 15 + 15 + 11 = 47; 43 + 4 = 47
PEN→16 + 5 + 14 + 3 = 35; 35 + 3 = 38
Similarly, NOTEPAD→14 + 15 + 20 + 5 + 16 + 1 + 4 = 75; 75 + 7 = 82

So, NOTEPAD is coded as 82. Hence, the second option is correct.

Option 3: 911

Option 4: 900

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 900


Solution : Given:
529 : 576 :: 841 : ?

Similarly, 841 = (29)2; the next number to 29 will be 30. So, (30)2 = 900

So, 900 is the required answer. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : The lengths of the parallel sides of a trapezium are $x$ cm and $y$ cm and the area of the trapezium is $\frac{1}{2}\left(x^2-y^2\right) cm^2$. What is the distance between the parallel sides (in cm )?

Option 1: $x$ - $y$

Option 2: $x$ + $y$

Option 3: $y$

Option 4: $x$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $x$ - $y$


Solution : If the lengths of the parallel sides of a trapezium are $x$ cm and $y$ cm and its height is h cm then, the area of the trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}(x+y) × {h}$. 
${x}^2-{y}^2 = ({x}+{y})({x} - {y})$ 
The area of the trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}({x}^2- {y}^2)$ = $\frac{1}{2}({x}+{y})({x} - {y})$ 
⇒  $\frac{1}{2}({x}+{y}){h}$ = $\frac{1}{2}({x}+{y})({x} - {y})$ 
⇒ $h = x – y$
$\therefore$ The distance between the parallel sides (in cm) is $x – y$.
Hence, the correct answer is $x$ - $y$.
