Question : Two persons are on either side of a temple, 75 m high, observe the angle of elevation from the top of the temple to be 30° and 60°, respectively. The distance between the persons is:

Option 1: 173.2 metres

Option 2: 100 metres

Option 3: 157.7 metres

Option 4: 273. 2 metres

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 173.2 metres


Solution :
Clearly from the figure the distance $BD$ is $(BC+CD)$.
In $\triangle ABC$,
$\tan 30°=\frac{AC}{BC}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{75}{BC}$
⇒ $BC=75\sqrt{3}$ metres
In $\triangle ACD$,
$\tan 60°=\frac{AC}{CD}$
⇒ $\sqrt{3}=\frac{75}{CD}$
⇒ $CD=\frac{75}{\sqrt{3}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ $CD=25\sqrt{3}$ metres
Distance between both persons $BD=BC+CD$
= $75\sqrt{3}+25\sqrt{3}$
= $100\sqrt{3}=100\times1.732=173.2$ metres
Hence, the correct

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : Since the rotation of the figure is not allowed, we will check which of the option figures can exactly fit in the given question figure.

From the above, it is clear that the second option figure is embedded in the question figure. Hence, the second option

Question : If $x+y+z=0$, then what is the value of $\frac{\left (3y^{2}+x^{2}+z^{2} \right )}{\left (2y^{2}-xz \right)}$?

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $\frac{3}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{5}{3}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2$


Solution : Given: $x+y+z=0$
Solution:
$\frac{(3y^{2}+x^{2}+z^{2})}{(2y^{2}-xz)}$
Since $x+y+z=0$, put $x = 1$, $y = –1$ , $z = 0$;
$=\frac{3+1}{2}= 2$
Hence, the correct answer is $2$.

Question : A watch is listed for Rs. 230 and sold at a discount of 12%. The selling price of the watch is:

Option 1: Rs. 27.60

Option 2: Rs. 276

Option 3: Rs. 202.40

Option 4: Rs. 257.60

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 202.40


Solution : Marked Price = Rs. 230
Discount = 12%
Selling Price = (100 – 12)% of 230 = 88% of 230
= $\frac{88 × 230}{100}$
= Rs. 202.40
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 202.40.

Question : Direction: The bar diagram shows the monthly expenditure of a company. Study the graph and answer the question.

The fraction of money spent on refreshments is:

Option 1: $13\frac{1}{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{2}{27}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{10}$

Option 4: $10$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{27}$


Solution : Total expenditure = (80 + 10 + 20 + 10 + 15) = Rs. 135 lakhs
Total refreshment costs = Rs. 10 lakhs
Required fraction = $\frac{\text{Expenditure on refreshments}}{\text{Total expenditure}}=\frac{10}{135}=\frac{2}{27}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{2}{27}$.
