Question : The sum of three consecutive integers is 51. The middle one is:

Option 1: 14

Option 2: 15

Option 3: 16

Option 4: 17

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 17


Solution : Let the three consecutive integers be $x-1, x,x+1$ whose sum equals 51.
According to the question,
$x -1+ x +x+1 = 51$
$3x = 51$
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{51}{3} = 17$
So, the middle number $=x= 17$
Hence, the correct answer is 17.

Question : If $x+y+z=0$, then the value of $\frac{x^2}{yz}+\frac{y^2}{zx}+\frac{z^2}{xy}$ is:

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 0

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : $\frac{x^2}{y z}+\frac{y^2}{z x}+\frac{z^2}{x y}=\frac{x^3+y^3+z^3}{xyz}$
Use identity: If $a+b+c=0$, then $a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc$.
Given, $x+y+z=0$
So, $\frac{x^2}{y z}+\frac{y^2}{z x}+\frac{z^2}{x y}=\frac{3xyz}{xyz}$
= 3
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

It is a suitable choice because, in the context of writing or speaking having knowledge of metaphor is more relevant and meaningful than simply having a "use" of metaphor.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The

Question : Find the value of $\tan (–1125°)$.

Option 1: $1$

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

Option 3: $–1$

Option 4: $0$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $–1$


Solution : The angle $1125°$ is co-terminal to the $45°$ angle and also tangent is a periodic function.
So, $\tan 1125°= \tan (6\times 180°+45°) = \tan 45°=1$
$\therefore \tan (–1125°) = – \tan 1125° = –1$
Hence, the correct answer is –1.

Question : If $5x+\frac{1}{x}=10$, then $x^2+\frac{1}{25x^2}$ is equal to:

Option 1: $2\frac{1}{5}$

Option 2: $3\frac{1}{5}$

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

Option 4: $2\frac{3}{5}$

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3\frac{3}{5}$


Solution : Given: $5x+\frac{1}{x}=10$
We know that the algebraic identity, $(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$.
$5x+\frac{1}{x}=10$
On squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
$(5x+\frac{1}{x})^2=10^2$
⇒ $25x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+10=100$
⇒ $25x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=90$
Divide by 25 on both sides of the above equation, we get,
$x^2+\frac{1}{25x^2}=\frac{90}{25}$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{25x^2}=\frac{18}{5}=3\frac{3}{5}$
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : The time taken for a train of length 110 metres running at a speed of 72 km/h to cross a bridge of length 132 metres is:

Option 1: 9.8 seconds

Option 2: 12.1 seconds

Option 3: 12.42 seconds

Option 4: 14.3 seconds

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12.1 seconds


Solution : Given: The distance of the train is (110 + 132) = 242 m and its speed is 72 km/h.
We know that, $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$
To convert km/h into m/s, we multiply by $\frac{5}{18}$.
72 km/h = $72\times \frac{5}{18}$ m/s
= 20 m/s
So, the time
