Question : If $\frac{(a+b)}{c}=\frac{6}{5}$ and $\frac{(b+c)}{a}=\frac{9}{2}$, then what is the value of $\frac{(a+c)}{b}\; ?$

Option 1: $\frac{9}{5}$

Option 2: $\frac{11}{7}$

Option 3: $\frac{7}{11}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{4}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{7}{4}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{(a+ b)}{c} = \frac{6}{5}$
⇒ $5a + 5b = 6c$ ........(i)
Also, $\frac{(b+c)}{a} = \frac{9}{2}$
⇒ $2b + 2c = 9a$ .........(ii)
Adding both the equations (i) and (ii),
⇒ $-4a + 7b = 4c$
⇒ $4(a + c) = 7b$
⇒ $\frac{(a +

Question : The total surface area of a hemisphere is 41.58 sq. cm. Find its curved surface area.

Option 1: 27.72 sq. cm.

Option 2: 55.44 sq. cm.

Option 3: 9.24 sq. cm.

Option 4: 13.86 sq. cm.

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 27.72 sq. cm.


Solution : The curved surface area of a hemisphere = $2\pi r^2$
The total surface area of a hemisphere = $3\pi r^2$
⇒ $41.58=3\pi r^2$
⇒ $3\pi r^2×\frac{2}{3}=41.58×\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore 2\pi r^2=27.72$ sq. cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 27.72 sq. cm.

Question : A and B can do a piece of work in 18 days, B and C in 24 days and A and C in 36 days. Working together, they can do the work in:

Option 1: 12 days

Option 2: 13 days

Option 3: 16 days

Option 4: 26 days

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16 days


Solution : One day work of (A + B) = $\frac{1}{18}$
One day work of (B + C) = $\frac{1}{24}$
One day work of (C + A) = $\frac{1}{36}$
Combined work = ($\frac{1}{A+B}+\frac{1}{B+C}+\frac{1}{C+A}$) = ($\frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{36}$)
⇒ 2(A + B + C) = $\frac{4+3+2}{72}$ = $\frac{9}{72}$ =

Question : If $\Delta \mathrm{XYZ} \cong \Delta \mathrm{LMR}$, then $m+x+p=?$

Option 1: 7

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 9

Option 4: 13

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given: $\Delta \mathrm{XYZ} \cong \Delta \mathrm{LMR}$
$\Delta \mathrm{XYZ}$ and $\Delta \mathrm{LMR}$ are congruent triangles.
We can say, $\mathrm{XY=LM}$
⇒ $2m+1=5$
⇒ $m=2$
$\mathrm{YZ=MR}$
⇒ $2p+2=8$
⇒ $p=3$
$\mathrm{ZX=RL}$
⇒ $2x–1=7$
⇒ $x=4$
So, $m+x+p=2+3+4$
⇒ $m+x+p=9$
Hence, the correct answer is 9.
