Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the highlighted part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".

There are schools in either sides of the road.

(1) schools on either side

(2) school on either side

(3) school on either sides

(4) No Improvement

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Since one is talking about multiple schools on both sides of the road, one should use the plural form "schools" instead of "school". "Side" must be used in the singular form because it refers to one of those options at a time.

The sentence conveys the meaning that there are schools on the left side as well as on the right side of the road. So, even though the sentence collectively talks about both sides of the road, it treats each side separately, and that's why "side" is in the singular form.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: There are schools on either side of the road.

Question : If the radius of a cylinder is decreased by 12%, then by how much percentage must its height be increased so that the volume of the cylinder remains the same?

Option 1: 29.13%

Option 2: 21.78%

Option 3: 42.56%

Option 4: 34.27%

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 29.13%


Solution : Let's denote the original radius of the cylinder as $r$ and the original height as $ℎ$.
Now, if the radius is decreased by 12%,
⇒ $r$′ = $r$ −0.12$r$ = 0.88$r$
⇒ $V'$ = $π(0.88r)^2h'$
Since the volume remains the same
⇒ $πr^{2}h$ = $π(0.88r)^2h'$
⇒ $h'$ = $\frac{r^{2}h}{(0.88r)^2}$
⇒ $h'$ = $\frac{r^{2}h}{(0.7744)r^2}$
⇒ $h'$ = $\frac{100h}{0.7744}$ – $h$
⇒ $Δℎ$ = $h'−h$
⇒ $Δℎ$ = $\frac{100h}{0.7744}$ – $h$
⇒ Percentage change in height = $\frac{Δh}{h}​×100$
= $(\frac{100}{77.44}​ – 1)×100$
= 29.13%
Hence, the correct answer is 29.13%.

Question : A alone can do a work in 16 days and B alone can do the same work in 12 days. If they worked together on it for 4 days and A left. How long did B take to finish the remaining work?

Option 1: 7 days

Option 2: 5 days

Option 3: 6 days

Option 4: 8 days

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5 days


Solution : Time taken by A to do the work = 16 days
Part of work done by A in a day = $\frac{1}{16}$
Time taken by B to do the work = 12 days
Part of work done by B in a day = $\frac{1}{12}$
Part of work done by A and B in 4 days = 4 × ( $\frac{1}{16}$+$\frac{1}{12}$) = 4 × $\frac{3+4}{48}$ = $\frac{7}{12}$
Remaining work = $1-\frac{7}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$
Time taken by B to do the remaining work = $\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{12}}$ = 5 days
Hence, the correct answer is 5 days.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, WORK is coded as 67, and CUP is coded as 40. How will KITE be coded in that code language?

Option 1: 36

Option 2: 45

Option 3: 38

Option 4: 42

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 45


Solution : Given:
WORK is coded as 67, and CUP is coded as 40.

Add the positional values of the alphabet of the given word to obtain the code.
WORK→23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 67
CUP→3 + 21 + 16 = 40
Similarly, KITE→11 + 9 + 20 + 5 = 45

So, KITE is coded as 45. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
–67, –64, –58, –49, –37, –22, ?

Option 1: –2

Option 2: 2

Option 3: –4

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –4


Solution : Given:
–67, –64, –58, –49, –37, –22, ?

The pattern is as follows –
–67 + 3 = –64; –64 + 6 = –58; –58 + 9 = –49; –49 + 12 = –37; –37 + 15 = –22; –22 + 18 = –4

So, the missing number is –4. Hence, the third option is correct.
