Question : In what least number of complete years does a sum of money become more than four times itself at the rate of 50% per annum on simple interest?

Option 1: 9 years

Option 2: 7 years

Option 3: 6 years

Option 4: 5 years

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7 years


Solution : Let's suppose, in $Q$ years a sum of money, say $P$ becomes four times itself at the rate of 50% per annum on simple interest.
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
According to the question,
$P+\frac{P(50)(Q)}{100}=4P$
⇒ $\frac{PQ}{2}=4P - P$

Question : If $x + y = 1$, then what is the value of $x^3+ 3xy + y^3$?

Option 1: –1

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 0

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given: $x + y = 1$------------------ (equation 1)
We know the algebraic identity, $(x+y)^3=x^3 + y^3+3xy(x+y)$.
Substitute the value from equation (1) in the above formula,
$(1)^3=x^3 + y^3+3xy\times(1)$
⇒ $x^3 + y^3+3xy=1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Given is a line graph showing the number of accidents in a city during the first 6 months of 1999.
The decrease percentage of accidents from May to June is:

Option 1: $15\frac{3}{8}$%

Option 2: $15\frac{1}{8}$%

Option 3: $15\frac{5}{8}$%

Option 4: $15\frac{7}{8}$%

Team Careers360 7th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $15\frac{5}{8}$%


Solution : Number of accidents in May = 32
Number of accidents in June = 27
Required percentage decrease = $\frac{32-27}{32}×100$
= $\frac{5×100}{32}$
= $\frac{125}{8}$
= $15\frac{5}{8}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $15\frac{5}{8}$%.

Question : The graphs of the linear equations $3x-2y=8$ and $4x+3y=5$ intersect at the point ${P}( \alpha, \beta)$. What is the value of $(2 \alpha-\beta)$?

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 5

Team Careers360 5th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5


Solution : $3x-2y=8$ ------------(1)
$4x+3y=5$ ---------------------(2)
Solve this system of equations.
Rearranging the first equation,
$⇒y = \frac{3}{2}x - 4$
Substituting this into the second equation,
$⇒4x + 3(\frac{3}{2}x - 4) = 5$
$⇒4x +\frac{9}{2}x - 12 = 5$
$⇒17x-24=10$
$⇒17x=34$
$⇒x = 2$
Substituting $x =

Question : The average weight of the first 11 people among 12 people is 95 kg. The weight of the 12th person is 33 kg more than the average weight of all 12 people. The weight of the 12th person is:

Option 1: 128.75 kg

Option 2: 128 kg

Option 3: 131 kg

Option 4: 97.45 kg

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 131 kg


Solution : Let the average weight of the 12 people be $x$.
Then, the weight of the 12th person is $(x+33)$.
Total weight of all 12 people = $(11×95) + x +33$
Average weight of all 12 people = $\frac{(11×95)+x+33}{12}$
It is given that:
⇒ $x
