Question : Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. It was the night before the day fixed for his coronation, and the young King was sitting alone in his beautiful chamber.
B. And, indeed, it was the hunters who had found him, coming upon him almost by chance as, bare-limbed and pipe in hand, he was following the flock of the poor goat herd who had brought him up, and whose son he had always fancied himself to be.
C. The lad—for he was only a lad, being but sixteen years of age not sorry at their departure, and had flung himself back with a deep sigh of relief on the soft cushions of his embroidered couch, lying there, wild-eyed and open-mouthed, like a brown woodland Faun, or some young animal of the forest newly snared by the hunters.
D. His courtiers had all taken their leave of him, bowing their heads to the ground, according to the ceremonious usage of the day, and had retired to the Great Hall of the Palace, to receive a few last lessons from the Professor of Etiquette; there being some of them who had still quite natural manners, which in a courtier is, I need hardly say, a very grave offence.

Question : If the angles of a triangle are (x – 46)°, (x + 96)°, and 8x°, then what is the value of 2x?

Option 1: 15°

Option 2: 24°

Option 3: 26°

Option 4: 13°

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 26°


Solution : All internal angles of a triangle add up to 180°.
$(x - 46)° + (x + 96)° + 8x° = 180$
$⇒ 10x + 50° = 180°$
$⇒ 10x = 130°$
$⇒ x = 13°$
$\therefore 2x = 26°$
Hence, the correct answer is 26°.

Question : The value of $x$ for which the expressions $15x+4$ and $13x-2$ become equal is:

Option 1: –1

Option 2: 1

Option 3: –3

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –3


Solution : Given: Value of $x$ for $15x+4=13x-2$.
⇒ $15x-13x=-2-4$
⇒ $2x=-6$
⇒ $x=\frac{-6}{2}$
⇒ $x=-3$
Hence, the correct answer is –3.

Question : In a triangle, if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is:

Option 1: obtuse

Option 2: equilateral

Option 3: right-angled

Option 4: Isosceles

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: equilateral


Solution :
AD, BE and CF are the altitudes drawn on sides BC, CA and AB of $\triangle$ABC such that AD = BE = CF.
Since area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × base × corresponding altitude,
Area of $\triangle$ABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ × BC × AD = $\frac{1}{2}$

Question : Of the three numbers whose average is 40, the first is $\frac{1}{3}$rd of the sum of the other two. What is the first number?

Option 1: 20

Option 2: 50

Option 3: 25

Option 4: 30

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 30


Solution : Let the numbers be $x, y, z$.
Their average is 40.
Sum = $x + y + z = 40 × 3 = 120$ --(1)
and given that $x = \frac{1}{3}(y+z)$
⇒ $3x = y + z$
Putting the value of $y+z$ in equation 1,

Question : In $\triangle A B C, O$ is the point of intersection of the bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle A$. If $\angle B O C=108^{\circ}$, then $\angle B A O=$?

Option 1: 27°

Option 2: 40°

Option 3: 18°

Option 4: 36°

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18°


Solution :
In $\triangle$ABC, O is the point of intersection of the bisectors of $\angle$B and $\angle$A
$\angle$BOC = 108° 
If the bisector of $\angle$ABC and $\angle$ACB of a triangle ABC meet at a point O then, $\angle$BOC = $90^\circ + \frac{1}{2}$$\angle$A
⇒ $108^\circ = 90^\circ +
