Question : A piece of wire, when bent to form a circle, will have a radius of 84 cm. If the wire is bent to form a square, the length of one side of the square is:

Option 1: 152 cm

Option 2: 132 cm

⇒ $2×\frac{22}{7}×84=528$
So, the perimeter of the square = 528 cm
⇒ One side

Question : If $\tan(5x-10^{\circ})=\cot(5y+20^{\circ})$, the value of $(x+y)$ is:

Option 1: $15^{\circ}$

Option 2: $16^{\circ}$

Option 3: $24^{\circ}$

Option 4: $20^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $16^{\circ}$


Solution : Given: $\tan(5x-10^{\circ})=\cot(5y+20^{\circ})$
⇒ $\tan(5x-10^{\circ})=\tan(90^{\circ}-(5y+20^{\circ}))$
⇒ $5x-10^{\circ}=90^{\circ}-5y-20^{\circ}$
⇒ $5x+5y=80^{\circ}$
⇒ $x+y=16^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $16^{\circ}$.

Question : Due to inclement weather, an aeroplane reduced its speed by 300 km/h and reached its destination of 1200 km late by 2 hours. Then, the scheduled duration of the flight was:

Option 1: 1 hour

Option 2: 1.5 hours

Option 3: 2 hours

Option 4: 2.5 hours

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2 hours


Solution : Let the original speed of the aeroplane be $x$ km/h.
According to the question,
$\frac{1200}{x–300} – \frac{1200}{x} = 2$
⇒ $\frac{1200}{x–300} – \frac{1200}{x} = 2$
⇒ $1200(\frac{x–x+300}{x(x–300)}) = 2$
⇒ $1200(\frac{300}{x(x–300)}) = 2$
⇒ $x(x–300) = 600(300)$
⇒ $x(x–300) = 600(600–300)$
⇒ $x =

Question : If $x^{2}+y^{2}+6x+5=4(x-y)$, then $(x-y)$ is:

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $–1$

Option 4: $4$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given: $x^{2}+y^{2}+6x+5=4(x-y)$
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}+6x+5-4x+4y=0$
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}+2x+5+4y=0$
⇒ $x^{2}+2x+1+y^{2}+4y+4=0$
⇒ $x^{2}+2×x×1+1+y^{2}+2×y×2+4=0$
⇒ $(x+1)^{2}+(y+2)^{2}=0$
⇒ $x$ = – 1 and $y$ = – 2 [If the sum of two square terms is zero, then each term will also be zero]
So, $(x-y) = (–1–( –2))=1$
Hence, the
