Option 1: displaced

Option 2: fail

Option 3: gratified

Option 4: pupils

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: displaced

Established implies being settled, well-founded, or having achieved success, while displaced means being removed, unsettled, or forced to leave a place, which is its antonym in this context.

So, the meanings of the other given words are:

  • Fail means to be unsuccessful or to not achieve the desired objective.

  • Pupil refers to a student or a learner, especially in a school or educational setting.

So, the most appropriate antonym of established is displaced.

Question : If $\sqrt{11-3 \sqrt{8}}=a+b \sqrt{2}$, then what is the value of (2a + 3b) ?

Option 1: 7

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 5

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Given: $\sqrt{11-3 \sqrt{8}}=a+b \sqrt{2}$
⇒ $\sqrt{11-3 \sqrt{2\times2\times2}}=a+b \sqrt{2}$
⇒ $\sqrt{9+2-2×3\sqrt{2}}=a+b \sqrt{2}$
⇒ $\sqrt{(3)^2+(\sqrt2)^2-2\times3\sqrt{2}}=a+b \sqrt{2}$
⇒ $\sqrt{(3-\sqrt{2})^2}=a+b \sqrt{2}$
⇒ $3-\sqrt{2}=a+b \sqrt{2}$
Comparing both sides, we get, $a=3,b=-1$
Now, $(2a+3b)$
= $(2\times3+3\times(-1))$
= $3$
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

He was looking into his book for the last two hours but couldn't find it.

Option 1: looking down on his book

Option 2: looking above his book

Option 3: looking for his book

Option 4: looking after his book

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

In this context, looking for is the correct phrase to convey the idea of searching for his book. The preposition for is used with the verb looking to indicate the purpose or direction of the action whereas "looking into" means to investigate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He was looking for his book for the last two hours but couldn't find it.

Question : A shopkeeper sold an item at 10% loss after giving a discount equal to half the marked price. Then the cost price is:

Option 1: $\frac{1}{9}$th of the marked price

Option 2: $\frac{4}{9}$th of the marked price

Option 3: $\frac{5}{9}$th of the marked price

Option 4: $\frac{7}{9}$th of the marked price

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{9}$th of the marked price


Solution : Let the marked price = $p$ and the cost price = $q$
According to the question,
∴ 50% of $p$ = 90% of $q$
⇒ $\frac{p×50}{100}=\frac{q×90}{100}$
∴ $q=\frac{5}{9}p$
So, the cost price is $\frac{5}{9}$th of the marked price.
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{9}$th of the marked price.

Question : X is directly proportional to the square of Y. When X is 12, then Y is 2. Find the value of X when Y is 3.

Option 1: 30

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 27

Option 4: 18

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 27


Solution : $X\propto Y^2⇒ X = kY^2$
⇒ $\frac{\mathrm{X{_1}}}{\mathrm{Y^2{_1}}} = \frac{\mathrm{X{_2}}}{\mathrm{Y^2{_2}}} $
⇒ $\frac{12}{2^2} = \frac{\mathrm{X{_2}}}{3^2}$
⇒ $\mathrm{X{_2}} = \frac{12}{4}\times 9$
⇒ $\mathrm{X{_2}} = 27$
Hence, the correct answer is 27.

Option 2: 1800

Option 3: 3600

Option 4: 4800

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1800


Solution : 120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
450 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5
LCM of 120 and 450 is (2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5) = 1800
i.e. 1800 is the least common multiple of 120 and 450.
Hence, the correct answer is 1800.
