Question : Ram starts from point A at 8 a.m. and reaches point B at 2 p.m. on the same day. On the same day, Raju starts from point B at 8 a.m. and reaches point A at 6 p.m. on the same day. Both points A and B are separated by only a straight line track. At what time do they both meet?

Option 1: 11:45 a.m.

Option 2: 9:42 a.m

Option 3: 10:42 a.m.

Option 4: 12:42 p.m.

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 11:45 a.m.


Solution : Let the distance be D
Time taken by Ram is 6 hrs and that by Raju is 10 hrs.
So, speed of Ram = $\frac{D}{6}$ and speed of Raju = $\frac{D}{10}$
Now, the relative speed = $\frac{D}{6} + \frac{D}{10}=\frac{5D + 3D}{30}=\frac{8D}{30}$
Required time =

Question : A man borrowed some money and agreed to pay it off by paying Rs. 3,150 at the end of the 1st year and Rs. 4,410 at the end of 2nd year. If the rate of Compound interest is 5% per annum, then the sum is:

Option 1: Rs. 5,000

Option 2: Rs. 6,500

Option 3: Rs. 7,000

Option 4: Rs. 9,200

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 7,000


Solution : Given: $A$ = Rs. 4,410, $R$ = 5% and $t$ = 2 years
We know that $A=P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{t}$
⇒ $4410=P(1+\frac{5}{100})^{2}$
⇒ $4410=P×\frac{21}{20}×\frac{21}{20}$
⇒ $P=4410×\frac{20}{21}×\frac{20}{21}$
⇒ $P=4000$
Again, A = Rs. 3150, R = 5% and t = 1 year
⇒ $3150=P(1+\frac{5}{100})^{1}$
⇒ $3150=P×\frac{21}{20}$
⇒ $P=3150×\frac{20}{21}$

Question : If the selling price of 7 articles is equal to the cost price of 8 articles, then what is the profit percentage (correct to one decimal place)?

Option 1: 14.3%

Option 2: 13.9%

Option 3: 15.4%

Option 4: 11.7%

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14.3%


Solution : Selling price of 7 articles = cost price of 8 articles
⇒ 7 × SP = 8 × CP
⇒ $\frac{SP}{CP} = \frac{8}{7}$
If SP = 8, then CP = 7
Gain = SP – CP = 8 – 7 = 1
Gain percentage =

Question : What is the value of $\frac{\sqrt{29.16}}{\sqrt{1.1664}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.2916}}{\sqrt{116.64}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.0036}}{\sqrt{0.36}}$?

Option 1: $\frac{26}{25}$

Option 2: $\frac{103}{20}$

Option 3: $\frac{27}{5}$

Option 4: $\frac{101}{20}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{103}{20}$


Solution : Given: The given expression is $\frac{\sqrt{29.16}}{\sqrt{1.1664}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.2916}}{\sqrt{116.64}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.0036}}{\sqrt{0.36}}$.
$=\frac{\sqrt{29.16}}{\sqrt{1.1664}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.2916}}{\sqrt{116.64}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.0036}}{\sqrt{0.36}}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2916}{100}}}{\sqrt{\frac{11664}{10000}}}+\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2916}{10000}}}{\sqrt{\frac{11664}{100}}}+\frac{\sqrt{\frac{36}{10000}}}{\sqrt{\frac{36}{100}}}$
$=\frac{\frac{54}{10}}{\frac{108}{100}}+\frac{\frac{54}{100}}{\frac{108}{10}}+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{\frac{6}{10}}$
$=\frac{54}{10}\times \frac{100}{108}+\frac{54}{100}\times \frac{10}{108}+\frac{6}{100}\times \frac{10}{6}$
$=5+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{10}$
$=\frac{100+1+2}{20}$
$=\frac{103}{20}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{103}{20}$.
