Question : Select the most appropriate SYNONYM of the given word.
Reveal

Option 1: Curb

Option 2: Veil

Option 3: Darken

Option 4: Disclose

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Disclose


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The hint here is to look for a word that has a similar meaning to reveal, which implies making something known or showing something that was previously hidden. Disclose fits this context perfectly, as it means to make information known or reveal something that was previously kept secret.

The meaning of the other options is as follows:

  • Curb: This word means to restrain or control.
  • Veil: This word means to cover or conceal.
  • Darken: This word means to make something less bright or clear.

Therefore, the correct answer is disclose.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, life and love is written as ri ti gi, life is tangible is written as mi pi ri, and love is pure is written as mi gi oi. How will love be written in that language?

Option 1: gi

Option 2: mi

Option 3: ti

Option 4: oi

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: gi


Solution : Given:
(I) life and love⇒ri ti gi
(II) life is tangible⇒mi pi ri
(III) love is pure⇒mi gi oi

By comparing all the three coded sentences, we find that –
In sentences I and II, life and ri are common.
In sentences I and III, love and gi are common.
In sentences II and III, is and mi are common.
The remaining word and codes in sentence 1 are and and ti; in sentence 2 are tangible and pi; in sentence 3 are pure and oi.
Finally, life⇒ri; love⇒gi; is⇒mi; and⇒ti; tangible⇒pi; pure⇒oi

So, the love is coded as gi. Hence, the first option is correct.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error". 

You haven't responded (1) / to my invitation (2) / didn't you? (3) No error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

A question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement that changes the statement into a question. We have a negative statement in the sentence, followed by a negative question tag. It should be replaced with a positive question tag. So, have you? should replace, didn't you?

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You haven't responded to my invitation, have you?

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, PINK is coded as 25, and HEAR is coded as 16. How will FAIL be coded in that language?

Option 1: 28

Option 2: 14

Option 3: 24

Option 4: 12

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14


Solution : Given:
PINK is coded as 25, and HEAR is coded as 16. 

The sum of the positional values of the alphabet is divided by 2 to obtain the required code.
PINK→16 + 9 + 14 + 11 = 50; 50 ÷ 2 = 25
Thus, PINK is coded as 25.
HEAR→8 + 5 + 1 + 18 = 32; 32 ÷ 2 = 18
Thus, HEAR is coded as 18.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for FAIL→6 + 1 + 9 + 12 = 28; 28 ÷ 2 = 14

So, FAIL is coded as 14. Hence, the second option is correct.

= 111 – 8 + 23 – 4 × 2 – 6
