Question : If $\frac{22 \sqrt{2}}{4 \sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3+\sqrt{5}}}=a+\sqrt{5} b$, with $a, b>0$, then what is the value of $(a b):(a+b)$?

Option 1: 7 : 8

Option 2: 7 : 4

Option 3: 4 : 7

Option 4: 8 : 7

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7 : 8


Solution : Given: $\frac{22 \sqrt{2}}{4 \sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3+\sqrt{5}}}=a+\sqrt{5} b$
Multiplying and dividing the number $\sqrt{3+\sqrt5}$ by $\sqrt2$
⇒ $\frac{22 \sqrt{2}}{4 \sqrt{2}-(\frac{\sqrt2(\sqrt{3+\sqrt{5})}}{2})}=a+\sqrt{5} b$
⇒ $\frac{22 \sqrt{2}}{4 \sqrt{2}-(\frac{\sqrt{6+2\sqrt{5}}}{2})}=a+\sqrt{5} b$
$\because (\sqrt{5}+1)^2=6+2\sqrt5$
⇒ $\frac{22 \sqrt{2}}{4 \sqrt{2}-(\frac{\sqrt{(\sqrt{5}+1)^2}}{2})}=a+\sqrt{5} b$
⇒ $\frac{22 \sqrt{2}}{4 \sqrt{2}-(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1)}{\sqrt2})}=a+\sqrt{5} b$
⇒ $\frac{22 \sqrt{2}}{(\frac{4 \sqrt{2}\times\sqrt 2-\sqrt{5}-1)}{\sqrt2})}=a+\sqrt{5} b$
⇒ $\frac{22

Question : If $\sin \theta=\frac{1}{2}$, then the value of $\left(3 \cos \theta-4 \cos ^3 \theta\right)$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: – 1

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given, $\sin \theta=\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\theta = 30^\circ$
Now, $\left(3 \cos \theta-4 \cos ^3 \theta\right)=-\cos 3\theta$ 
⇒ $\left(3 \cos \theta-4 \cos ^3 \theta\right)=-\cos 90^\circ$ 
⇒ $\left(3 \cos \theta-4 \cos ^3 \theta\right)=0$ 
Hence, the correct answer is 0.

Question : The table given below shows the number of scissors sold by five shopkeepers.

Shopkeepers scissors
P 30
Q 50
R 45
S 25
T 70

What is the ratio of the number of scissors sold by R to the sold by S?

Option 1: 5 : 8

Option 2: 8 : 3

Option 3: 9 : 5

Option 4: 5 : 9

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9 : 5


Solution : The number of scissors sold by R = 45
The number of scissors sold by S = 25
So, the required ratio = $\frac{45}{25} = \frac{9}{5}$
Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 5.

Question : If 60% of A = 30% of B, B = 40% of C, and C = $x$% of A, the value of $x$ is:

Option 1: 200

Option 2: 500

Option 3: 800

Option 4: 300

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 500


Solution : Given: 60% of A = 30% of B, B = 40% of C, and C = $x$% of A
Here, C = $x$% of A ⇒ C = $\frac{x×A}{100}$
and B = 40% of C ⇒ B = $\frac{40×C}{100}$ ⇒ B = $\frac{40×x×A}{100×100}$ = $\frac{2×x×A}{500}$

Question : The marked price of mustard oil is 25% more than its cost price. At what percentage less than the marked price should it be sold to have no profit and no loss?

Option 1: 15%

Option 2: 20%

Option 3: 18%

Option 4: 22%

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20%


Solution : Let the cost price be Rs. 100
Then, marked price = 25% of CP = Rs. 125
If the oil is to be sold at no profit and no loss, the selling price should be Rs. 100
$\text{Percentage decrease} = \frac{\text{Marked price – selling price}}{\text{Marked
