Question : If $\left({x}+\frac{1}{x}\right)=2$, then ${x}^7+\frac{1}{x^{117}}=$___________.

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: That $\left({x}+\frac{1}{x}\right)=2$,
$⇒ \frac{x^2+1}{x}=2$
$⇒ x^2-2x+1= 0$
$⇒ (x-1)^2=0$
$⇒ x = 1$
Substituting $x = 1$ into the expression ${x}^7+\frac{1}{x^{117}}$ 
$1^7 + \frac{1}{1^{117}} = 1 + 1 = 2$.
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : Comprehension:

In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank.

The (1)______ of birds is one of the most fascinating aspects of the natural world. From the soaring flight of eagles to the colourful plumage of parrots, birds have evolved a wide range of (2)______ to survive and thrive in their environments. One of the most remarkable adaptations is the ability of some birds to migrate over vast distances, often crossing oceans and continents to reach their breeding or wintering grounds. However, many species of birds are facing threats to their survival, such as habitat loss, climate change and (3)______ by humans. In response, conservation efforts have been put in place to protect these birds and their habitats. This might involve creating protected areas, restoring degraded habitats or reducing the use of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. Another important aspect of bird conservation is (4)_______ populations to track changes over time and identify emerging threats. This can be done through citizen science programmes or through more intensive efforts led by conservation organisations. Ultimately, protecting birds and their habitats is not only important for the birds themselves but also for the broader ecosystems they are a part of, and the many benefits these ecosystems provide to humans, such as clean air and water, and (5)________ opportunities.

Select the most appropriate option to fill in blank no. 4.

Option 1: neglecting

Option 3: overlooking

Option 4: forgetting

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: monitoring

Question : A photographer is allowed a discount of 10% on the advertised price of a camera. The price (in Rs.) that must be marked on the camera, which cost him Rs. 600, to make a profit of 20% would be:

Option 1: 650

Option 2: 800

Option 3: 700

Option 4: 850

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 800


Solution : Let the marked price of the camera be Rs. $x$.
According to the question,
(100 – 10)% of $x$ = 120% of 600 (Since Selling price = Cost price + Profit = Marked price – Discount)
⇒ $x$ × 90 = 600 × 120

Question : Using trigonometric formulas, find the value of $(\frac{\sin (x-y)}{\sin (x+y)})(\frac{\tan x+\tan y}{\tan x-\tan y})$

Option 1: –2

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 0

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given:
$\frac{\sin (x-y)}{\sin (x+y)}(\frac{\tan x+\tan y}{\tan x–\tan y})$
Using $\sin(x+y)=\sin x\cos y+\cos x\sin y$ and $\sin(x-y)=\sin x\cos y-\cos x\sin y$, we get:
 $=(\frac{\sin x\cos y–\cos x\sin y}{\sin x\cos y+\cos x\sin y})(\frac{\tan x+\tan y}{\tan x–\tan y})$
Dividing both numerator and denominator by $\cos x\cos y$, we
