Question : In the following figure, if l || m, then find the measures of angles marked by a and b.

Option 1: a = 90$^{\circ}$ and b = 90$^{\circ}$

Option 2: a = 55$^{\circ}$ and b = 125$^{\circ}$

Option 3: a = 70$^{\circ}$ and b = 110$^{\circ}$

Option 4: a = 60$^{\circ}$ and b = 120$^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: a = 70$^{\circ}$ and b = 110$^{\circ}$


Solution : Since $l \parallel m$,
⇒ $\angle$ c = 110$^{\circ}$ (corresponding angles are equal)
Also, $\angle$ a + $\angle$ c = 180$^{\circ}$ (supplementary angles)
⇒ $\angle$ a = 180$^{\circ}$ – 110$^{\circ}$ = 70$^{\circ}$
Now, $\angle$ b = $\angle$ a +

Question : Find the value of the given expression.
$\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\cdots \infty}}}}$

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution : Given expression,
$\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\cdots \infty}}}}$
Let us equate this with $y$
⇒ $y=\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\sqrt{20-\cdots \infty}}}}$
⇒ $y=\sqrt{20-y}$
Squaring both sides,
⇒ $y^2=20-y$
⇒ $y^2+y-20=0$
⇒ $y^2+5y-4y-20=0$
⇒ $y(y+5)-4(y+5)=0$
⇒ $(y+5)(y-4)=0$
⇒ $y=-5$ and $y=4$
Hence, the correct answer is 4.

Question : Direction: In each of the following question, which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it?

BR _ _ NB _ O _ NB

Option 1: OWOW

Option 2: RORO

Option 3: WNWN

Option 4: OWRW

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: OWRW


Solution : Given:

BR _ _ NB _ O _ NB

We have to check the order of the letters in the given series.

To fill the series we have to divide the series, BR _ _ / NB _ O / _ NB.

So, the series

Question : If $\tan x = –\frac{12}{5}$, where $x$ lies in the second quadrant, what is the value of $\sin x-\cot x$?

Option 1: $\frac{209}{156}$

Option 2: $\frac{169}{156}$

Option 3: $\frac{156}{209}$

Option 4: $\frac{144}{169}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{209}{156}$


Solution : In the second quadrant, $\sin x$ and $\operatorname{cosec x}$ are positive.
$\tan x = –\frac{12}{5}$
$⇒\cot x=\frac{1}{\tan x}=-\frac{5}{12}$
We know, $\sec^2x -\tan^2x=1$
$⇒\sec^2x=1+(–\frac{12}{5})^2$
$⇒\sec^2x=1+\frac{144}{25}$
$⇒\sec^2x=\frac{169}{25}$
$⇒ \sec x=\frac{13}{5}$
$⇒\cos x = \frac{5}{13}$
$\therefore\sin x = \sqrt{1-\cos^2x}=\sqrt{1-\frac{25}{169}}=\frac{144}{169}=\frac{12}{13}$
$\sin x - \cot x = \frac{12}{13} – (-\frac{5}{12})
