Question : A work was finished by L, P, and Q together. L and P together finished 50% part of the work and P and Q together finished 60% part of the work. Who among the three is most efficient?

Option 1: All are equally efficient

Option 2: L

Option 3: Q

Option 4: P

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Q


Solution : Let the total amount of work be a.
⇒ Work done by L and P together = $\frac{50}{100}$a = 0.5 a
⇒ Work done by Q alone = a – 0.5 a = 0.5 a
Also, Work done by P and Q together = $\frac{60}{100}$a = 0.6 a
⇒ Work done by P alone = 0.6 a – 0.5 a = 0.1 a
⇒ Work done by L = a – 0.6 a = 0.4 a
$\therefore$ Q is the most efficient.
Hence, the correct answer is Q.

Question : The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don't find any errors, mark 'No error' as your answer.

The Andes mountains / lay between / Chile and Argentina.

Option 1: Chile and Argentina

Option 2: lay between

Option 3: No error

Option 4: The Andes mountains

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: lay between


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

Explanation:
In this sentence, the verb lay is used incorrectly. The correct verb to use in this context is lie.
Lie
 is an intransitive verb, which means to be situated or located. In contrast, lay is a transitive verb and would require a direct object. Since we are describing the location of the Andes mountains without a direct object, lie is the appropriate choice.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The Andes mountains lie between Chile and Argentina.

Option 3: liability

Option 4: asset
