So, the left side of the reflected image will appear as the right side, and the right side will appear as the left side. However, the top and bottom of the reflected image will remain the same.

Thus, the correct mirror image of the given figure will be –

Hence, the first option is correct.

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.

Question : Directions: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
All hexagons are pentagons.
All pentagons are octagons.
All octagons are decagons.
Conclusions:
I. All decagons are hexagons.
II. All hexagons are octagons.

Option 1: Both conclusions I and II follow

Option 2: Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Option 3: Only conclusion II follows

Option 4: Only conclusion I follows

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyze the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All decagons are hexagons – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing decagons lie inside the circle representing hexagons while some lie outside. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All hexagons are octagons – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing hexagons is completely overlapped by the circle representing octagons. Thus, it can be concluded that all hexagons are octagons.

So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : A shopkeeper allows a discount of 20% on the marked price and still gains 12% on the whole. Find at what percentage above the cost price he marks his goods.

Option 1: 30%

Option 2: 10%

Option 3: 40%

Option 4: 20%

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40%


Solution : Let the cost price (CP) be 100.
The gain percentage is 12%.
So, the selling price (SP) = 100 + 100 × $\frac{12}{100}$ = 112
Now, discount = 20%,
So, the marked price (MP) × $\frac{(100-\text{discount percentage})}{100}$ = SP
⇒ MP × $\frac{(100-20)}{100}$ = 112
⇒ MP = $\frac{112×100}{80}$ = 140
Therefore, the required percentage = (140 – 100) = 40%
Hence, the correct answer is 40%.

Question : What will be the length of the longest diagonal of the cuboid having a length of 13 cm, width of 11 cm, and height of 20 cm?

Option 1: 23.45 cm

Option 2: 26.27 cm

Option 3: 34.65 cm

Option 4: 22.65 cm

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 26.27 cm


Solution : Given: Length($l$) = 13 cm, width($b$) = 11 cm, and height($h$) = 20 cm
Length of the longest diagonal of the cuboid
$=\sqrt{13^2 + 11^2 + 20^2}$
$= \sqrt{169 + 121 + 400}$
$= \sqrt{690}$
$= 26.27$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 26.27 cm.
