Question : A can do a job in 36 days and B in 12 days. If they work together, in how many days will they be able to do the work?

Option 1: 8

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 10

Option 4: 9

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given: A's work in a day is $\frac{1}{36}$ unit.
B works in one day is $\frac{1}{12}$ unit.
Together, A and B's work in a day = $(\frac{1}{36}+\frac{1}{12})= (\frac{1+3}{36})=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}$ unit.
Together, A and B can complete the work in $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{9}}$ = 9 days.
Hence, the correct

Question : If $x, y,$ and $z$ are the three factors of $a^3-7a-6$, then the value of $x+y+z$ will be:

Option 1: $3a$

Option 2: $3$

Option 3: $6$

Option 4: $a$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3a$


Solution : Given:
$a^3-7a-6$
= $a^3-a-6a-6$
= $a(a^2-1)-6(a+1)$
= $a(a-1)(a+1)-6(a+1)$
= $(a+1)(a^2-a-6)$
= $(a+1)(a-3)(a+2)$
So, three factors x, y, z are $(a+1)(a-3)(a+2)$.
$\therefore x+y+z= (a+1)+(a-3)+(a+2)=3a$
Hence, the correct answer is $3a$.

As the average remains the same, the required difference is 15 years.
Hence, the correct answer is 15 years.

Question : A fraction is greater than its reciprocal by $\frac{9}{20}$. What is the fraction?

Option 1: $\frac{5}{4}$

Option 2: $\frac{4}{5}$

Option 3: $\frac{3}{4}$

Option 4: $\frac{4}{3}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{4}$


Solution : Let the fraction be $x$.
According to the question,
$x-\frac{1}{x}=\frac{9}{20}$
$\Rightarrow 20x^2-9x-20=0$
$\Rightarrow 20x^2-25x + 16x-20=0$
$\Rightarrow 5x (4x-5) + 4x (4x-5)=0$
$\Rightarrow (4x-5) (5x+4)=0$
$\Rightarrow (4x-5) =0$ or $ (5x+4)=0$
$\therefore x=\frac{-4}{5},\frac{5}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{4}$.

Question : If the sum and difference of two angles are 135° and $\frac{\pi}{12}$, respectively, then the value of the angles in degree measure is:

Option 1: 70° and 65°

Option 2: 75° and 60°

Option 3: 45° and 90°

Option 4: 80° and 55°

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 75° and 60°


Solution : Let the two angles be x and y.
So, x + y = 135°------------------------------(1)
The difference of the two angles is $\frac{\pi}{12}$.
So, x – y = $\frac{\pi}{12}=\frac{180}{12}$ = 15° ---------------------------(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2), we get,
x = 75°
So, y
