Question : When a number is divided by 45, the remainder is 21. What will be the remainder when the number is divided by 15?

Option 1: 6

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6


Solution : Let the quotient when the number is divided by 45 be $x$.
Then, the number should be 45$x$ + 21
= (15 × 3$x$) + 21
Let 3$x$ = P.
So, 45$x$ + 21 = 15P + 21
So, it is clear that 15P is

Question : Directions: In the question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four.
Mangoes do not ___ all at the same time. Hence, they are not plucked on the same day.

Option 1: germinate

Option 2: ripen

Option 3: grow

Option 4: age

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ripen


Solution : The second option is correct as 'ripen' means to become mature and is ready to be plucked, which contextually fits in the sentence, while plucking of mangoes doesn't go contextually well with other options namely 'germinate', 'age' and 'grow'.

Therefore, the correct statement should

Question : What is the value of $14^{3}+16^{3}+18^{3}+...+30^{3}$?

Option 1: 134576

Option 2: 120212

Option 3: 115624

Option 4: 111672

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 111672


Solution : Given:
$14^{3}+16^{3}+18^{3}+.....+30^{3}$
$= 2^{3}\times7^{3}+2^{3}\times8^{3}+2^{3}\times9^{3}+.....+2^{3}\times15^{3}$
$= 2^{3}(7^{3}+8^{3}+9^{3}+.....+15^{3})$
$= 2^{3}[(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3})-(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3})]$
The sum of cubes of $n$ natural numbers$ =\left[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right]^2$
For $n = 6$, we have
$1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3}=\left[\frac{6(6+1)}{2}\right]^2 = \left[\frac{42}{2}\right]^2 = (21)^{2} =$ 441
For $n = 15$, we have
$1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3}=\left[\frac{15(15+1)}{2}\right]^2 = \left[\frac{240}{2}\right]^2 = (120)^{2} =$ 14400
Now, $2^{3}[(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3})-(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3})]$

Question : If $p^2+q^2=7pq$, then the value of $\frac{p}{q}+\frac{q}{p}$ is equal to:

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Given: $p^2+q^2=7pq$
Divide the above equation by $pq$ on both sides, we get,
⇒ $\frac{p^2+q^2}{pq}=\frac{7pq}{pq}$
⇒ $\frac{p}{q}+\frac{q}{p}=7$
Hence, the correct answer is 7.
