Question : The height of an equilateral triangle is $7 \sqrt{3}$ cm. What is the area of this equilateral triangle?

Option 1: $36 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

Option 2: $25 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

Option 3: $49 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

Option 4: $32 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $49 \sqrt{3}$ cm2


Solution : Height of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times Side$
Area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times Side^2$
So, each side of the triangle = $\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$ = 14 cm
Area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 14^2$ = $49\sqrt{3}$ cm2

Question : A mask manufacturing company manufactured an ‘$x$’ number of masks in 2018. It increased its manufacturing capacity by 30% in 2019 and further increased its manufacturing by 15% in 2020. In 2021, due to the machinery breakdown, its manufacturing declined by 40%. What is the value of ‘X’ if it manufactured 179400 masks in 2021?

Option 1: 180000

Option 2: 230000

Option 3: 200000

Option 4: 210000

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 200000


Solution : Given: A mask manufacturing company manufactured an ‘$x$’ number of masks in 2018. It increased its manufacturing capacity by 30% in 2019 and further increased its manufacturing by 15% in 2020.
Mask manufactured in 2019 = $x × \frac{130}{100}$ = $\frac{13x}{10}$
Mask manufactured in 2020

Question : If $xy = -6$ and $x^3+ y^3= 19$ ($x$ and $y$ are integers), then what is the value of $\frac{1}{x^{–1}}+\frac{1}{y^{–1}}$?

Option 1: –1

Option 2: –2

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given: $xy = -6$ and $x^3+ y^3= 19$ ($x$ and $y$ are integers)
We know the algebraic identity, $(x+y)^3=x^3 + y^3+3xy(x+y)$.
Substitute the given values in the above formula,
⇒ $(x+y)^3=19+3\times(-6)\times(x+y)$
⇒ $(x+y)^3=19-18\times(x+y)$
Let $(x+y)=u$.
⇒ $u^3+18u–19=0$
⇒ $u^3–u^2+u^2–u+19u–19=0$
⇒ $u^2(u–1)+u(u–1)+19(u–1)=0$
⇒ $(u–1)(u^2+u+19)=0$
⇒ $u-1=0$

Question : In the given figure, if KI = IT and EK = ET, then $\angle$ TEI =________.

Option 1: 75°

Option 2: 125°

Option 3: 105°

Option 4: 150°

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 105°


Solution :
KI = IT and EK = ET
$\angle$ KET = 150°
In $\triangle$ KEI and $\triangle$ TEI,
KI = IT [Given]
EK = ET [Given]
EI = EI [Common]
So, $\triangle$ KEI $\cong$ $\triangle$ TEI,
⇒ $\angle$ KEI = $\angle$ TEI
Now,
$\angle$ KET +

Question : Directions: In a code language, SLAIN is written as PKCNU and DENT is written as VPGF. How will CUBOID be written in that language?

Option 1: FKQDWE

Option 2: FJQDWE

Option 3: FKQDVF

Option 4: EWDPKE

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: FKQDWE


Solution : Given:
SLAIN is written as PKCNU and DENT is written as VPGF.

Follow the pattern to obtain the required code –

Thus, SLAIN is coded as PKCNU.
And, DENT is written as VPGF.

Thus, DENT is coded as VPGF.

Question : The sides of a triangle are in the ratio $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$ and its perimeter is 104 cm. The length of the longest side (in cm) is:

Option 1: 52

Option 2: 48

Option 3: 32

Option 4: 26

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 48


Solution : Given: The ratio of the triangle's sides
$=\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{4}$.
$=\frac{1}{2} × 12 : \frac{1}{3} × 12 : \frac{1}{4} × 12$
$=6: 4: 3$
The perimeter of the triangle is $104$ cm.
$\therefore$ The longest length of the triangle = $\frac{104}{6+4+3}×6= 48$ cm
