Question : Directions: Which of the following letter clusters will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
OD, LA, IX, FU, ?

Option 1: BR

Option 2: CS

Option 3: CR

Option 4: CT

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: CR


Solution : Given:
OD, LA, IX, FU,?

Subtract 3 from the place value of the first and second letter, to get the required missing term in the series –
OD→O – 3 = L; D – 3 = A→LA
LA→L – 3 = I; A – 3 = X→IX
IX→I – 3 = F; X – 3 = U→FU
FU→F – 3 = C; U – 3 = R→CR

So, the required missing term in the series is CR. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Peter bought an item at a 20% discount on its original price. He sold it with a 40% increase on the price he bought it. The new sale price is greater than the original price (in percent) by:

Option 1: 10%

Option 2: 8%

Option 3: 7.5%

Option 4: 12%

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12%


Solution : Let the original price be Rs. 100.
The cost price after 20% discount will be Rs. 80.
The selling price = 140% of Rs. 80 = $\frac{140}{100}\times80$ = Rs. 112
Percentage change = $\frac{112-100}{100}\times100$ = 12%
Hence, the correct answer is 12%.

Question : Kepler's law of planetary motion states that the square of the period is proportional to the

Option 1: semi-major axis

Option 2: square of the semi-major axis

Option 3: cube of the semi-major axis

Option 4: fourth power of the semi-major axis

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: cube of the semi-major axis


Solution : The correct option is a cube of the semi-major axis.

According to Kepler's Law of Periods, a planet's orbital period square is precisely proportionate to its semi-major axis cube. One of Johannes Kepler's three laws of planetary motion was determined in the early 17th century. The semi-major axis of the planet's orbit, denoted by the symbol 'a', is the semi-major axis of the Law of Periods, which is mathematically defined as T2∝ a3. This rule may be used to determine how long an orbit around the sun will last for every planet in the solar system, including Earth.

The minimum number of students in the school 1 = 44 + 56 = 100
The minimum number of students in the school 2 = 34 + 45 = 79
The minimum number of students in the school 3 = 47 + 34 = 81
The minimum number of students in the school 4 = 95 + 54 = 149
The minimum number of students in the school 5 = 45 + 32 = 77
Hence, the correct answer is the school 5.
