Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term.
AKV : ZIS :: ? : ENI :: PQR : OOO

Option 1: FOL

Option 2: EPL

Option 3: FPL

Option 4: EQL

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: FPL


Solution : Given:
AKV : ZIS :: ? : ENI :: PQR : OOO

Subtract 1, 2, and 3 from the place value of the first, second and third letters respectively, to obtain the required missing term –
Like, AKV : ZIS→ A – 1 = Z; K – 2 = I; V – 3 = S
Thus, AKV is coded as ZIS.
And, PQR : OOO –
P – 1 = O; Q – 2 = O; R – 3 = O
Thus, PQR is coded as OOO.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for ENI –
E + 1 = F; N + 2 = P; I + 3 = L

Thus, ENI is coded as FPL. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : The breadth of a rectangle is $\frac{4}{5}$th of the radius of a circle. The radius of the circle is $\frac{1}{5}$ of the side of a square, whose area is 625 cm2. What is the area of the rectangle if the length of the rectangle is 20 cm?

Option 1: 150 cm2

Option 2: 600 cm2

Option 3: 100 cm2

Option 4: 80 cm2

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 80 cm2


Solution : The breadth of a rectangle is $\frac{4}{5}$ of the radius of a circle
The radius of the circle is $\frac{1}{5}$ of the side of a square, whose area is 625 cm$^2$
The length of the rectangle is = 20 cm
Formula Used:
The area of the square = $a^2$
The area of the rectangle = $l \times b$
Calculations: 
According to the question, 
The breadth of a rectangle (b) is $\frac{4}{5}$ of the radius of a circle (r)
⇒ $b = \frac{4}{5}\times r$  
The radius of the circle (r) is $\frac{1}{5}$ of the side of a square (a)
⇒ $r= \frac{1}{5} \times a$
The area of square = $a^2$
$625 = a^2$
⇒ $a = 25$ cm
The radius of the circle will be = $\frac{1}{5}\times a$ =  $\frac{1}{5}\times 25$ = 5 cm
The breadth of the rectangle will be
$b = \frac{4}{5}\times r$
$b = \frac{4}{5}\times 5$ = 4 cm
The area of the rectangle will be = $l \times b$ = 20 × 4 = 80 cm$^2$
Hence the correct answer is 80 cm$^2$.

Captivity: It denotes the state of being captive or imprisoned; it is the condition of being held against one's will.

Stranger: It denotes a person whom one does not know or with whom one is not familiar; someone who is not a relative, friend, or acquaintance.

Therefore, the correct answer will be prejudiced.

Question : The table given below shows the production of television and fridges by different companies.

Companies Television Fridge
P 80 100
Q 70 50
R 60 40
S 50 70
T 90 55

Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
I. The difference between the average production of television and fridge by R and the average production of television and fridge by S is 10.
II. The production of television and fridge by P is 20% of the production of television by T.

Option 1: Both I and II

Option 2: Neither I nor II

Option 3: Only I

Option 4: Only II

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only II


Solution : I. Average production of television and fridges by R = $\frac{60+40}{2}=50$
Average production of television and fridges by S = $\frac{50+70}{2}=60$
$\therefore$ The difference between both averages = 60 – 50 = 10
Thus, this statement is correct.
II. The production of television and fridge by P = 80 + 100 = 180
Production of television by T = 90
$\therefore$ Required percentage $=\frac{180}{90}\times100=200$%
The given percentage is 20.
Thus, this statement is NOT correct.
Hence, the correct answer is Only II.

Question : The marked price of a pen is 25% more than its cost price. The pen is sold for INR 220 after a discount of INR 30. What is the profit percentage?

Option 1: 10%

Option 2: 15%

Option 3: 20%

Option 4: 17.5%

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10%


Solution : Given: Selling price = INR 220
Profit = INR 30
Let the cost price be $x$.
Then, Marked price = $1.25x$
We know that,
Marked price = selling price + discount
⇒ $\frac{125x}{100}=220+30$
⇒ $x = 200$
Cost price = INR 200
Profit = selling price – cost price = 220 – 200 = 20
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100$
= $\frac{20}{200}\times 100$
= 10%
Hence, the correct answer is 10%.

Question : Directions: In the following question, a series is given with one number missing. Choose the correct alternative from the ones given that will complete the series.
6, 12, 20, 30, 42, ?

Option 1: 53

Option 2: 52

Option 3: 56

Option 4: 50

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 56


Solution : Given:
6, 12, 20, 30, 42, ?

Add consecutive even numbers (starting from 6) to each term to get the next term.
6 + 6 = 12; 12 + 8 = 20; 20 + 10 = 30; 30 + 12 = 42; 42 + 14 = 56

So, 56 is the missing term. Hence, the third option is correct.
