Question : If $\sin t+\cos t=\frac{4}{5}$, then find $\sin t.\cos t$.

Option 1: $\frac{9}{50}$

Option 2: $-\frac{9}{50}$

Option 3: $\frac{9}{25}$

Option 4: $-\frac{9}{25}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-\frac{9}{50}$


Solution : Given: $\sin t+\cos t=\frac{4}{5}$
Squaring both sides, we have,
⇒ $(\sin t+\cos t)^{2}=(\frac{4}{5})^{2}$
⇒ $\sin^{2} t+\cos^{2} t+2\sin t.\cos t=\frac{16}{25}$
We know that $\sin^{2} t+\cos^{2}=1$
⇒ $1+2\sin t.\cos t=\frac{16}{25}$
⇒ $2\sin t.\cos t=\frac{16}{25}–1$
⇒ $2\sin t.\cos t=-\frac{9}{25}$
⇒ $\sin t.\cos t=-\frac{9}{50}$
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : A solid metallic sphere of radius 13 cm is melted and recast into a cone having a diameter of the base as 13 cm. What is the height of the cone?

Option 1: 246 cm

Option 2: 152 cm

Option 3: 174 cm

Option 4: 208 cm

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 208 cm


Solution : We know,
The volume of a cone = $\frac{1}{3}πr^2h$, where r is the radius of the cone
The volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}πR^3$, where r is the radius of the sphere
According to the question,
$\frac{4}{3}πR^3 = \frac13πr^2h$
Let the height of the

Question : A vessel contains 20 L of acid. 4 L of acid is taken out of the vessel and replaced by the same quantity of water. Next, 4 L of the mixture is withdrawn and again the vessel is filled with the same quantity of water. The ratio of the quantity of acid left in the vessel with the quantity of acid initially in the vessel is:

Option 1: 4 : 5

Option 2: 4 : 25

Option 3: 16 : 25

Option 4: 1 : 5

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16 : 25


Solution : Here,
Remaining acid = Initial quantity × $(1–\frac{\text{Quantity taken out}}{\text{Original quantity}})^{\text{number of times removed}}$
⇒ Remaining acid $=20×(1-\frac{4}{20})^2=20×\frac{4}{5}×\frac{4}{5}= 12.8$ L
So, the required ratio
= (12.8) : (20)
= 128 : 200
= 16 : 25
Hence, the correct answer is 16 :

Question : The initial profit percentage on the sale of an item was 55%. If the item's cost price went up by 24%, but the selling price remained the same, what would be the new profit percentage?

Option 1: 36%

Option 2: 25%

Option 3: 28%

Option 4: 33%

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25%


Solution : Let the cost price of an article be 100.
⇒ profit = 100 × 55% = 55
Now, selling price = 100 + 55 = 155
New cost price = 100 + 100 × 24% = 124
So, new profit = 155 – 124 =
