Question : The total surface area of a solid hemisphere is $942 \mathrm{~cm}^2$. Its volume (in $\mathrm{cm}^3$ ) is closest to:
(Take $\pi=3.14$ )

Option 1: 2089

Option 2: 2093

Option 3: 2037

Option 4: 2097

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2093


Solution : Given: The total surface area of a solid hemisphere = $942\ cm^2$
$3 \pi r^2=942$
⇒ $3\times 3.14\times r^2=942$
⇒ $3.14\times r^2=314$
⇒ $ r^2=100$
⇒ $ r=10$
Volume of hemisphere = $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$
= $\frac{2}{3}\times 3.14\times10\times10\times10$
= $\frac{6280}{3}$
= $2093.33 \approx 2093$ cm3

Question : A person marks an article 36% above the cost price and offers a 30% discount on the marked price. What is the loss or gain percentage?

Option 1: Loss 6.5%

Option 2: Loss 4.8%

Option 3: Gain 8.5%

Option 4: Gain 7.2%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Loss 4.8%


Solution : Let the cost price be 100.
Marked price above 36% = 100 + 36 = 136
Discount = 30%
Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{discount %}}{100}\times$ marked price
= $\frac{100-30}{100}\times136$
= $\frac{70}{100}\times136$
= $95.2$
Loss = Cost price – selling price = 100 – 95.2 =

Question : Given that $\sqrt3=1.732$, the value of $\frac{3+\sqrt6}{5\sqrt3-2\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{32}+\sqrt{50}}$ is:

Option 1: 4.899

Option 2: 2.551

Option 3: 1.414

Option 4: 1.732

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1.732


Solution : Given:
$\sqrt{3}=1.732$
$\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{5\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{32}+\sqrt{50}}$
Now evaluate:
$= \frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{5\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{4\times3}-\sqrt{16\times2}+\sqrt{25\times2}}$
$=\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{5\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{2}+5\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{5(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})-4(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}$
$=\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$
Now multiply and divide with $\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}.$
$=\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{18}-\sqrt{12}}{3-2}$
$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{9\times2}-\sqrt{4\times3}}{1}$
$=3\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2}-2\sqrt{3}$
$=3\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{3}$
$=\sqrt{3}(3-2)$
$=\sqrt{3}$
$=1.732$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.732.

Question : If $p-\frac{1}{p}=6$, then what is the value of $p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}$?

Option 1: 1562

Option 2: 1432

Option 3: 1442

Option 4: 1444

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1442


Solution : $\mathrm{p}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{p}}=6$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}-2(p)(\frac{1}{p})=36$
$⇒p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}-2=36$
$⇒p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}=38$
Squaring both sides again, we get,
$⇒p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}+2(p^2)(\frac{1}{p^2})=1444$
$⇒p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}+2=1444$
$\therefore p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}=1442$
Hence, the correct answer is 1442.

Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=c+\frac{1}{c}$, then the value of $x$ is:

Option 1: $c,\frac{1}{c}$

Option 2: $c,c^{2}$

Option 3: $c,2c$

Option 4: $0, 1$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $c,\frac{1}{c}$


Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=c+\frac{1}{c}$
⇒ $x-c=\frac{1}{c}–\frac{1}{x}$
⇒ $x-c=\frac{(x–c)}{xc}$
⇒ $(x-c)-\frac{(x–c)}{xc}=0$
⇒ $(x-c)[1-\frac{1}{xc}]=0$
Taking, $(x-c)=0$
⇒ $x=c$
Now, taking $[1-\frac{1}{xc}]=0$
⇒ $\frac{1}{xc}=1$
⇒ $x=\frac{1}{c}$
Hence, the correct answer is $c,\frac{1}{c}$.
