Question : If $\frac{P}{2}=\frac{Q}{5}=\frac{R}{6}$, then what is the value of $P^2:(P+Q)^2:(Q+R)^2$?

Option 1: 10 : 56 : 169

Option 2: 4 : 49 : 121

Option 3: 9 : 64 : 144

Option 4: 16 : 10 : 125

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4 : 49 : 121


Solution : Given: The expression is $\frac{P}{2}=\frac{Q}{5}=\frac{R}{6}$.
Let $\frac{P}{2}=\frac{Q}{5}=\frac{R}{6}=k$.
⇒ $P=2k, Q=5k, R=6k$
The value of $P^2:(P+Q)^2:(Q+R)^2$
$=(2k)^2:(2k+5k)^2:(5k+6k)^2$
$=4k^2:(7k)^2:(11k)^2$
$=4k^2:49k^2:121k^2$
$=4:49:121$
Hence, the correct answer is 4 : 49 : 121.

Question : Simplify $\sqrt{3\tfrac{33}{64}}+\sqrt{9\tfrac{1}{7}} × 2\sqrt{3\tfrac{1}{9}}$

Option 1: $\frac{45}{256}$

Option 2: $1\tfrac{17}{28}$

Option 3: $4\tfrac{3}{8}$

Option 4: $2\tfrac{3}{16}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Solution : Given: $\sqrt{3\tfrac{33}{64}}+\sqrt{9\tfrac{1}{7}} × 2\sqrt{3\tfrac{1}{9}}$
After simplifying this expression,
⇒ $\sqrt{\frac{225}{64}}+\sqrt{\frac{64}{7}}×\sqrt{\frac{112}{9}}$
⇒ $\frac{15}{8}+\frac{32}{3}$
⇒ $\frac{45+256}{24}$
⇒ $\frac{301}{24}$
⇒ $12\frac{13}{24}$

Question : A man covers half part of a certain distance at 25 km/hr. He covers 40% of the remaining distance at the speed of 8 km/hr and covers the rest of the distance at the speed of 18 km/hr. What is his average speed for the entire journey?

Option 1: $\frac{650}{37}$ km/hr

Option 2: $\frac{540}{37}$ km/hr

Option 3: $\frac{600}{37}$ km/hr

Option 4: $\frac{480}{37}$ km/hr

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{600}{37}$ km/hr


Solution : Let the total distance be 100 km.
For the first part of the journey:
Distance = $\frac{100}{2}$ = 50 km
Speed = 25 km/hr
$\therefore$ Time taken to cover half the distance = $\frac{50}{25}$ = 2 hr
So, the remaining distance = 50 km
