Question : Directions: Select the option related to the fifth letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster and the fourth letter cluster is related to the third letter cluster.
CAM : EES :: OAT : QEZ :: TOI : ?

Option 1: USO

Option 2: VTO

Option 3: VSO

Option 4: VSP

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: VSO


Solution : Given:
CAM : EES :: OAT : QEZ :: TOI : ?

Add the consecutive even numbers to the place value of the letters of CAM and OAT to get the related letter clusters.
CAM→C + 2 = E; A + 4 = E; M + 6 = S
So, CAM is related to EES.
OAT→O + 2 = Q; A + 4 = E; T + 6 = Z
So, OAT is related to QEZ.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for TOI –
T + 2 = V; O + 4 = S; I + 6 = O

So, TOI is related to VSO. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : A person covers the first 25 km in 60 minutes and the next 38 km in 30 minutes. What is his average speed for the whole journey?

Option 1: 46 km /hr

Option 2: 49 km/hr

Option 3: 42 km/hr

Option 4: 36 km /hr

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 42 km/hr


Solution : Given: A person covers the first 25 km in 60 minutes and the next 38 km in 30 minutes.
Total distance = 25 + 38 = 63 km
Total time = (60 + 30) = 90 minutes = $\frac{90}{60}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ hours
So, the average speed = $\frac{63}{\frac{3}{2}}$ = $63×\frac{2}{3}$ = 42 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 42 km/hr.

  • Museum: This term refers to a place where artefacts and objects of cultural, historical, or scientific interest are exhibited.

Question : The average marks obtained by S1 and S2 is 30 more than the average marks obtained by S2 and S3. If the marks obtained by S3 is 50, then what are the marks obtained by S1?

Option 1: 80

Option 2: 105

Option 3: 95

Option 4: 110

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 110


Solution : Given: The average marks obtained by S1 and S2 is 30 more than the average marks obtained by S2 and S3.
The mark obtained by S3 is 50.
Use the formula, $\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{The total number of values}}$.
According to the question,
$\frac{\text{S1+S2}}{2}=\frac{\text{S2+50}}{2}+30$
⇒ $\frac{\text{S1+S2}}{2}–\frac{\text{S2+50}}{2}=30$
⇒ $\frac{\text{S1+S2–S2–50}}{2}=30$
⇒ $S1–50=60$
⇒ $S1=60+50=110$
Hence, the correct answer is 110.

Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g.13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(5, 50, 500)
(3, 30, 300)

Option 1: (11, 110, 2200)

Option 2: (7, 70, 700)

Option 3: (14, 140, 1500)

Option 4: (12, 220, 440)

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (7, 70, 700)


Solution : Given:
(5, 50, 500); (3, 30, 300)

Multiply the first number by 10, to obtain the second number, and multiply the second number by 10, to obtain the third number –
⇒ (5, 50, 500)→5 × 10 = 50; 50 × 10 = 500
⇒ (3, 30, 300)→3 × 10 = 30; 30 × 10 = 300

Let's check the options –
First option: (11, 110, 2200)→11 × 10 = 110; 110 × 10 = 1100 ≠ 2200
Second option: (7, 70, 700)→7 × 10 = 70; 70 × 10 = 700
Third option: (14, 140, 1500)→14 × 10 = 140; 140 × 10 = 1400 ≠ 1500
Fourth option: (12, 220, 440)→12 × 10 = 120 ≠ 220; 220 × 10 = 2200 ≠ 440

So, only the second option follows the same pattern as the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select ‘No improvement required’.

You are looking so pretty on these black outfit.

Option 1: pretty in this

Option 2: No improvement required

Option 3: prettier in these

Option 4: prettiest with those

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: pretty in this


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

The error in the original sentence is that on these is not the appropriate phrase to describe how someone looks in an outfit. The correct preposition to use in this context is in. On typically denotes a surface or position, whereas in usually signifies inclusion or location within something.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: You are looking so pretty in this black outfit.

Question : A shopkeeper offers two successive discounts of 15% and 20% on an article and is still able to earn a 70% profit. If he offers a single discount of 30%, what will his profit percentage be?

Option 1: 70%

Option 2: 75%

Option 3: 65%

Option 4: 50%

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 75%


Solution : Given,
Successive discounts = 15% and 20%
Profit = 70%
We know,
Selling Price = $\frac{100+\text{Profit%}}{100}\times$ CP, where CP is the cost price.
Let the cost price of an article be Rs. 100
⇒ Price after first discount of 15% = 100 – 15% of 100 = Rs. 85
⇒ Price after second discount of 20% = 85 – 20% of 85 = 85 − 17 = Rs. 68
So, the original cost Price = $\frac{100}{100+70}$ × 68 = $\frac{10}{17}$ × 68 = Rs. 40
To sell the article at a 30% discount,
Selling Price = 100 − $\frac{30}{100}$ × 100 = Rs. 70
⇒ Profit = SP – CP = 70 – 40 = Rs. 30
⇒ Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}$ × 100 = $\frac{30}{40}$ × 100 = 75%
Hence, the correct answer is 75%.
