Question : In $\triangle {PQR} $, PQ = PR and S is a point on QR such that $\angle {PSQ}=96^{\circ}+\angle {QPS}$ and $\angle {QPR} = 132^{\circ}$. What is the measure of $\angle {PSR}$?

Option 1: 45°

Option 2: 56°

Option 3: 54°

Option 4: 52°

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 54°


Solution :
Let $\angle QPS$ be $\theta$
⇒ $\angle PSQ = 96^\circ + \theta$
Now, In $\triangle PQR$
⇒ $\angle Q + \angle R = 180^\circ - \angle P$
$= 180^\circ -132^\circ$
$=48^\circ$
Since $PQ = PR$
$\angle Q = \angle R$
$\therefore \angle Q = \angle

Question : The price of a scooter increases successively by 10%, 5%, and 15%. What is the total percentage increase in the price of the scooter?

Option 1: $32 \frac{33}{40}$%

Option 2: $34 \frac{21}{40}$%

Option 3: $30 \frac{11}{40}$%

Option 4: $36 \frac{31}{40}$%

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $32 \frac{33}{40}$%


Solution : Let the initial price of the scooter be 100.
After successive increment of 10%, 5%, and 15%, the price becomes
= $100\times\frac{110}{100}\times\frac{105}{100}\times\frac{115}{100}$
= $100\times\frac{11}{10}\times\frac{21}{20}\times\frac{23}{20}$
= $\frac{11\times21\times23}{40}$
= $\frac{5313}{40}$
Difference = Price after increment – initial price = $\frac{5313}{40}-100=\frac{5313-4000}{40}=\frac{1313}{40}$
$\therefore$ Percentage increased
= $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Initial price}}\times

Question : The following figure shows the scores of students in three tests organised by a coaching institution. Who scored the best on average?

Option 1: D

Option 2: C

Option 3: E

Option 4: B

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: E


Solution : Let's find the average first,
For A = $\frac{84+71+95}{3} = \frac{250}{3} = 83.33$
For B = $\frac{93+76+101}{3} = \frac{270}{3} = 90$
For C = $\frac{99+79+71}{3} = \frac{249}{3} = 83$
For D = $\frac{80+90+94}{3} = \frac{264}{3} = 88$
For E = $\frac{88+93+90}{3} = \frac{271}{3} = 90.33$
