Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
$\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, ?, \frac{5}{4}$

Option 1: 1

Option 2: $\frac{1}{4}$

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

Option 4: $\frac{2}{3}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given:
$\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, ?, \frac{5}{4}$

In the given series, add $\frac{1}{4}$ to the previous number to get the next number.
$\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$; $\frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{4}{4}$ = 1; 1 + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{5}{4}$

So, 1 is the missing number of the

Question : If $ax+by=1$ and $bx+ay=\frac{2ab}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$, then $(x^{2}+y^{2})(a^{2}+b^{2})$ is equal to:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 0.5

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : $ax+by=1$ ---------------------------------------(1)
$bx+ay=\frac{2ab}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$ -----------------------------------(2)
On dividing equation (1) by (2), we get,
⇒ $\frac{ax+by}{bx+ay}=\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{2ab}$
⇒ $2a^{2}xb+2ab^{2}y=a^{2}bx+b^{3}x+a^{3}y+ab^{2}y$
⇒ $a^{2}xb+ab^{2}y=b^{3}x+a^{3}y$
⇒ $a^{2}xb-b^{3}x=a^{3}y-ab^{2}y$
⇒ $x(a^{2}b-b^{3})=y(a^{3}-ab^{2})$
⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{(a^{3}-ab^{2})}{(a^{2}b-b^{3})}$
⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{a(a^{2}-b^{2})}{b(a^{2}-b^{2})}$
⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{a}{b}$ ---------------------------------(3)
Putting the value of $(x,y)$ from equation (3) in equation (1), we get,
⇒ $y=\frac{b}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$

Question : The time required for a sum of money to amount to three times itself at 8% simple interest p.a. will be:

Option 1: 35 years

Option 2: 25 years

Option 3: 30 years

Option 4: 20 years

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25 years


Solution : Given: Rate is 8%
Let the Principle be P.
It amounts to 3 times of itself.
Simple interest = 3P – P = 2P
We know, Simple interest $= \frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $2P =\frac{P×8×\text{Time}}{100}$
⇒ Time = 25 years
Hence, the

Question : The value of $\tan 5^{\circ} \tan 25^{\circ} \tan 45^{\circ} \tan 65^{\circ} \tan 85^{\circ}$ is ______.

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : $\tan 5^{\circ} \tan 25^{\circ} \tan 45^{\circ} \tan 65^{\circ} \tan 85^{\circ}$
$=\tan 5^{\circ} \tan (90^{\circ} - 5^{\circ})\tan 25^{\circ} \tan (90^{\circ} - 25^{\circ}) \tan 45^{\circ}$
$=\tan 5^{\circ} \cot 5^{\circ}\tan 25^{\circ} \cot 25^{\circ} \times 1$
$=1 \times 1\times 1$
$= 1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
