Question : A pole is 9030 cm long. It is coloured saffron, white and green in the ratio of 6 : 7 : 8. Find the length of the green part of the pole.

Option 1: 3440 cm

Option 2: 3010 cm

Option 3: 3480 cm

Option 4: 2580 cm

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3440 cm


Solution : Given: The pole is 9030 cm long.
The sum of the ratios of the lengths of the saffron, white, and green portions is 6 + 7 + 8 = 21
The length of the green portion of the pole = $9030\times \frac{8}{21} = 3440\

Question : Simplify:
$\frac{\cos A}{1+\tan A}-\frac{\sin A}{1+\cot A}$

Option 1: $\tan A$

Option 2: $\cos A-\sin A$

Option 3: $\cos A \sin A$

Option 4: $\cos A+\sin A$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\cos A-\sin A$


Solution : $\frac{\cos A}{1+\tan A}-\frac{\sin A}{1+\cot A}$
$=\frac{\cos A}{1+\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}} - \frac{\sin A}{1+\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}}$
$=\frac{\cos^2 A}{\cos A + \sin A} - \frac{\sin^2 A}{\sin A + \cos A}$
$=\frac{\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A}{\sin A + \cos A}$
$=\frac{(\cos A + \sin A)(\cos A -

Question : Name the process by which bubbles from liquid are formed?

Option 1: Effervescence

Option 2: Surface tension

Option 3: Surface energy

Option 4: Degasification

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Effervescence


Solution : The correct option is Effervescence.

A liquid will produce bubbles when air is introduced, which causes a bubble to develop. This process is known as effervescence because effervescence is the discharge of gas from an aqueous solution and as a result foaming or freezing

Question : If $2x=\sqrt{a}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}, a>0$, then the value of $\frac{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}{x-\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}$ is:

Option 1: $a+1$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}(a+1)$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}(a–1)$

Option 4: $a–1$

Team Careers360 6th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}(a–1)$


Solution : Given: $2x=\sqrt{a}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}, a>0$
$⇒2x=\sqrt{a}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}$
$⇒x=\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{a}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}})$
Calculating the value of ${\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}$
$⇒{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}={\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{a}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}))^{2}-1}}$
$⇒{\sqrt{(\frac{a^2-2a+1}{4a})}}=\frac{a-1}{2\sqrt{a}}$
So that $\frac{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}{x-\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}$ becomes
$⇒\frac{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}{x-\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}=\frac{\frac{a-1}{2\sqrt{a}}}{\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{a}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}})-(\frac{a-1}{2\sqrt{a}})}$
$⇒\frac{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}{x-\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}=\frac{a-1}{2\sqrt{a}}×\frac{2\sqrt{a}}{2}=\frac{1}{2}(a–1)$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}(a–1)$.

Question : Which element was arbitrarily assigned a value of 4.0 in the 'Halogens' section in 1922 by Linus Pauling, an American scientist?

Option 1: Fluorine

Option 2: lodine

Option 3: Astatine

Option 4: Bromine

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Fluorine


Solution : The correct option is Fluorine.

The element that was arbitrarily assigned a value of 4.0 in the 'Halogens' section by Linus Pauling in 1922 is Fluorine (F). This assignment of this value to Fluorine was part of Linus Pauling's efforts to develop the concept

Question : Meenu is 38 years old. Her daughter is 8 years old. In how many years will Meenu be double her daughter's age?

Option 1: 22

Option 2: 25

Option 3: 20

Option 4: 24

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 22


Solution : Meenu's present age = 38 years
Daughter's present age = 8 years
Let be the after $x$ number of years from the present year for Meenu's age be twice of that of her daughter's age.
$\therefore$ $38+x=2(8+x)$
⇒ $38-16=x$
⇒ $x=22$ years
Hence, the correct
