Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Mound

Option 1: Victory

Option 2: Valley

Option 3: Bell

Option 4: Prominence

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Valley


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The term mound refers to an elevated area or heap, typically created by the accumulation of soil or earth. In contrast, a valley denotes a low-lying tract of land between hills or mountains. The opposition between an elevated mound and a depressed valley makes the second option the most appropriate choice as the antonym.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Victory: This term signifies success or triumph.
  • Bell: This term refers to a musical instrument.
  • Prominence: This term means the state of being important or famous.

Therefore, "to pick holes in someone's coat" means to find fault with someone.

Question : Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
I am sorry that I was unable to see ______ of you over the summer.

Option 1: more

Option 2: many

Option 3: much

Option 4: many more

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: more


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

  • More is the most appropriate option in this context. It implies a greater quantity or extent, suggesting that the speaker regrets not being able to spend a greater amount of time with the person over the summer.
  • Many and much are used to quantify countable and uncountable nouns, respectively, but they are not suitable in this context because the focus is on the extent or duration of time spent with the person.
  • Many more is not incorrect, but in this sentence, "more" alone is sufficient and sounds more natural. The use of "many more" might be appropriate in a different context where a specific countable quantity is emphasised.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "I am sorry that I was unable to see more of you over the summer."

Question : A cuboid whose sides are 8 cm, 27 cm, and 64 cm is melted to form a new cube. What is the respective ratio of the total surface area of the cuboid and cube?

Option 1: 307 : 216

Option 2: 291 : 203

Option 3: 349 : 248

Option 4: 329 : 237

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 307 : 216


Solution : Sides of cuboid = 8 cm, 27 cm, and 64 cm
Let $a$ be the side of the cube.
The volume of the cuboid = volume of the cube
$lbh$ = $a^3$
8 × 27 × 64 = $ a^3$
$a$ = $\sqrt[3]{8 × 27 × 64}$ = 2 × 3 × 4 = 24 cm
Total surface area of cuboid = $2(lb+ bh + hl)$
Total surface area of cuboid = 2 × (8 × 27 + 27 × 64 + 64 × 8)
= 2 × (216 + 1728 + 512)
= 2 × 2456
= 4912
The total surface area of the cube = $6a^2$
= 6 × 24 × 24
= 3456
Required ratio = 4912 : 3456
= 307 : 216
Hence, the correct answer is 307 : 216.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, ACID is written as ZBHC, and LAND is written as KZMC. How will GOLD be written in that language?

Option 1: FNKB

Option 2: FNKC

Option 3: FNJC

Option 4: FMKC

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: FNKC


Solution : Given:
ACID is written as ZBHC and LAND is written as KZMC.

Subtract 1 from each alphabet to obtain the code.
ACID→ A – 1 = Z; C – 1 = B; I – 1 = H; D – 1 = C
Thus, ACID is coded as ZBHC
LAND→L – 1 = K; A – 1 = Z; N – 1 = M; D – 1 = C
Thus, LAND is coded as KZMC
Similarly, GOLD→G – 1 = F; O – 1 = N; L – 1 = K; D – 1 = C 

So, GOLD is coded as FNKC. Hence, the second option is correct.
