Question : Find the value of: $\sqrt{\frac{1 - \sin 3 \theta}{1 + \sin 3 \theta}}$

Option 1: $\sec 3 \theta - \tan 3 \theta$

Option 2: $(\sec 3 \theta - \tan 3 \theta)^3$

Option 3: $(\sec 3 \theta - \tan 3 \theta)^2$

Option 4: $\sec 3 \theta + \tan 3 \theta$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sec 3 \theta - \tan 3 \theta$


Solution : $\sqrt{\frac{1 – \sin 3 \theta}{1 + \sin 3 \theta}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{(1 – \sin 3 \theta)(1 – \sin 3\theta)}{(1 + \sin 3\theta)(1 – \sin 3\theta)}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{(1 – \sin 3\theta)^{2}}{1 – \sin^{2}3\theta}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{(1 – \sin 3\theta)^{2}}{\cos^{2}3\theta}}$
= $\frac{1 - \sin 3\theta}{\cos 3\theta}$
= $\sec 3\theta  - \tan 3\theta$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sec 3\theta  - \tan 3\theta$.

Question : If $\left (x+\frac{1}{x}\right )=5$, find the value of  $\frac{6x}{x^{2}+x+1}$.

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given: $\left (x+\frac{1}{x} \right)=5$
⇒ $\frac{x^2+1}{x}=5$
⇒ $x^2+1=5x$
Adding $x$ on both sides,
⇒ $x^2+1+x=5x+x$
⇒ $x^2+x+1=6x$
Now, put the value of $x^2+x+1=6x$ in the expression $\frac{6x}{x^{2}+x+1}$
So, $\frac{6x}{x^{2}+x+1}=\frac{6x}{6x}=1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Two pipes, S1 and S2, can alone fill an empty tank in 15 hours and 20 hours, respectively. Pipe S3 alone can empty that filled tank in 40 hours. Firstly, both pipes, S1 and S2, are opened and after 2 hours, pipe S3 is also opened. In how much time will the tank be filled after S3 is opened?

Option 1: $\frac{90}{17}\ \text{hours}$

Option 2: $\frac{89}{12}\ \text{hours}$

Option 3: $\frac{90}{13}\ \text{hours}$

Option 4: $\frac{92}{11}\ \text{hours}$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{92}{11}\ \text{hours}$


Solution : Let the capacity of the tank be 120 units (LCM of 15, 20, and 40)
Pipe A fills = $\frac{120}{15}$ = 8 units per hour
Pipe B fills = $\frac{120}{15}$ = 6 units per hour
Pipe C empties = $\frac{120}{40}$ = 3 units per hour
A and B in 2 hours fill (8 + 6) × 2 units of the tank = 28 units of the tank
Remaining units of the tank to be filled = 120 – 28 = 92 units/hour
After 2 hours, C joins.
So, units of the tank filled by A, B, and C = (8 + 6 – 3) = 11 units/hour
So, the time needed to fill the remaining tank = $\frac{92}{11}$ hours
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{92}{11}\ \text{hours}$.

Question : Washing of peeled vegetables removes the vitamin

Option 1: A

Option 2: C

Option 3: D

Option 4: E

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: C


Solution : The correct option is Vitamin C.

Some vitamin C is lost when vegetables are washed. Because vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it dissolves in water. When you wash vegetables, part of the vitamin C is washed away. The quantity of vitamin C lost during washing is determined by several factors, including the kind of vegetable, the length of time it is washed, and the temperature of the water. Leafy vegetables, such as spinach and kale, lose more vitamin C than root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes.

Question : If $14 : 30 :: 7 : x$, then what is the value of $x$?

Option 1: 15

Option 2: 21

Option 3: 9

Option 4: 12

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15


Solution : $14 : 30 :: 7 : x$
⇒ $\frac{14}{30}=\frac{7}{x}$
⇒ $x = \frac{7\times 30}{14}$
⇒ $x= 15$
Hence, the correct answer is 15.

Question : The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 100 cm. If the base is 36 cm, find its semi-perimeter (in centimetres).

Option 1: 64 cm

Option 2: 60 cm

Option 3: 45 cm

Option 4: 50 cm

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 50 cm


Solution : Semi-perimeter of a triangle $= (\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{2})$
= $\frac{100}{2}$
= 50 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 50 cm.

Question : The length, breadth, and height of a wooden box with a lid are 10 cm, 9 cm, and 7 cm, respectively. The total inner surface of the closed box is 262 cm2. The thickness of the wood (in cm) is:

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $3$

Option 3: $\frac{23}{3}$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given: Inner surface area = 262 cm2
The length, breadth, and height are 10 cm, 9 cm, and 7 cm, respectively.
Let the thickness of the wood be $x$ cm.
Surface area of the cuboid = 2(length × breadth + length × height + breadth × height)
Area of inner surface $= 2(9 - 2x)(10 - 2x) + 2(9 -2x)(7 - 2x) + 2(10- 2x)(7 - 2x)$
$⇒ 262 = 2(9 - 2x)(10 - 2x) + 2(9 -2x)(7 - 2x) + 2(10 - 2x)(7- 2x)$
Putting the value of $x = 1,$ the above equation is satisfied.
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.

Question : Directions: If 4 × 9 × 3 = 4 and 5 × 3 × 1 = 3, then 9 × 9 × 7 = ? 

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 9

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5


Solution : Given:
4 × 9 × 3 = 4, 5 × 3 × 1 = 3

The pattern in the equation4 × 9 × 3 = 4 is 4 + 9 + 3 = 16 = 42
The pattern in the equation5 × 3 × 1 = 3 is 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 = 32

Here, the sign × means +.
Using the same pattern in equation 9 × 9 × 7
The equation becomes
9 + 9 + 7 = 25 = 5 
Therefore, the square root of 25 is equal to 5.

Hence, the first option is correct.
