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%.

Question : $\frac{1}{2}$ of A = $\frac{2}{5}$ of B = $\frac{1}{3}$ of C, then A : B : C is:

Option 1: 4 : 5 : 6

Option 2: 6 : 4 : 5

Option 3: 4 : 6 : 5

Option 4: 5 : 4 : 6

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4 : 5 : 6


Solution : Given: $\frac{1}{2}× A=\frac{2}{5} × B=\frac{1}{3} × C$
⇒ $\frac{1}{2} × A=\frac{2}{5} × B$
⇒ $\frac{A}{B} = \frac{4}{5}$
And, $\frac{2}{5} × B = \frac{1}{3} × C$
⇒ $\frac{B}{C} = \frac{5}{6}$
Taking B as common, the value of B is the same in both cases so that the ratio will be $A : B : C=4:5:6$
Hence, the correct answer is 4 : 5 : 6.
