Option 1: 784

Option 2: 961

Option 3: 911

Option 4: 900

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 900


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

Like, (23)2 = 529; (24)2 = 576 (23 and 24 are the consecutive numbers.)
Similarly, 841 = (29)2; the next number to 29 will be 30. So, (30)2 = 900

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 $x$ - $y$.

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.
