Question : Find the area of the triangle whose height is 56 cm and the corresponding base is $\frac{1}{4}$th of the height.

Option 1: 544 cm2

Option 2: 440 cm2

Option 3: 392 cm2

Option 4: 480 cm2

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 392 cm2


Solution : Given: The height of the triangle = 56 cm, and the base = $\frac{1}{4}$ × 56 = 14 cm
Therefore, the area of the triangle
= $\frac{1}{2}$ × Height × Base
= $\frac{1}{2}$ × 56 × 14
= 392 cm2
Hence, the correct answer is 392 cm2.

Question : Sohan makes four journeys of equal distance. In the first journey, his speed was 240 km/hr and in each subsequent journey his speed was half the speed of the previous journey. What is the average speed of Sohan in these four journeys?

Option 1: 50 km/hr

Option 2: 64 km/hr

Option 3: 60 km/hr

Option 4: 52 km/hr

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 64 km/hr


Solution : Let the distance of each trip be $d$.
For the first trip,
speed = 240 km/hr
$\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{240}$
For the second trip,
speed = $\frac{240}{2}$ = 120 km/hr
$\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{120}$
For the third trip,
speed = $\frac{120}{2}$ = 60 km/hr
$\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{60}$
For the fourth trip,
speed = $\frac{60}{2}$ = 30 km/hr
$\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{30}$
Average speed = $\frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}$
= $\frac{d+d+d+d}{\frac{d}{240}+\frac{d}{120}+\frac{d}{60}+\frac{d}{30}}$
= $\frac{4d}{\frac{15d}{240}}$
= $\frac{960}{15}$
= 64 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 64 km/hr.

Question : Directions: In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements.
Statements:
I. Some S are P
II. No P is L
Conclusion:
I. All S are P
II. All L are S

Option 1: Both conclusions I and II follows

Option 2: Neither conclusion follows

Option 3: Only conclusion I follows

Option 4: Only conclusion II follows

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows


Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is –


Let us analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: All S are P – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing S and P overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some S are P but all S are not P.
Conclusion II:. All L are S – It is a possibility that the circle representing L is completely overlapped by the circle representing S. But this is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, neither conclusion follows. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: After interchanging which two numbers, the value of the given equation will be 30.
8 × 1 – 9 ÷ 3 + 4

Option 1: 4 and 3

Option 2: 1 and 4

Option 3: 3 and 9

Option 4: 8 and 4

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1 and 4


Solution : Given:
8 × 1 – 9 ÷ 3 + 4 = 30

Replace the given numbers according to the options one by one with the original numbers in the given equation.
First option: 4 and 3
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 × 1 – 9 ÷ 4 + 3
= 8 × 1 – 2.25 + 3
= 8 – 2.25 + 3
= 8.75 ≠ 30
Second option: 1 and 4
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 × 4 – 9 ÷ 3 + 1
= 8 × 4 – 3 + 1
= 32 – 3 + 1
= 30 = R.H.S.
Third option: 3 and 9
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 × 1 – 3 ÷ 9 + 4
= 8 × 1 – 0.34 + 4
= 8 – 0.34 + 4
= 11.67 ≠ ​​​​​​​30​​​​​​​
Fourth option: 8 and 4
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 4 × 1 – 9 ÷ 3 + 8
= 4 × 1 – 3 + 8
= 4 – 3 + 8
= 9 ≠​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​30

So, only the second option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
