Question : Which are the four quantum numbers for an electron present in 4f orbital?

Option 1: n=4, I=3, m=+1, s=+1 / 2

Option 2: n=3, I=2, m=-2, s=+1 / 2

Option 3: n=4, I=4, m=-4, s=-1 / 2

Option 4: n=4, I=3, m=+4, s=+1 / 2

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: n=4, I=3, m=+1, s=+1 / 2


Solution : The correct option is n=4, I=3, m=+1, s=+1 / 2.

The four quantum numbers for an electron in a 4f orbital are:

  1. Principal quantum number (n) = 4.
  2. Azimuthal quantum number (l) = 3.
  3. Magnetic quantum number (m_l) can take values from -3 to +3, including 0.
  4. The spin quantum number (m_s) can be either +1/2 or -1/2.

Question : Find the value of $\frac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}+2$.

Option 1: $1+2 \sec A$

Option 2: $2-\sec A$

Option 3: $2+\sec A$

Option 4: $2(1+\sec A)$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2(1+\sec A)$


Solution : Given: 
$\frac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}+2$
= $\frac{\cos^2A+1+\sin A+\sin A+\sin^2A}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$
= $\frac{2+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$
= $\frac{2(1+\sin A)}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$
= $\frac{2}{\cos A}+2$
= $2\sec A+2$
= $2(1+\sec A)$
Hence, the correct answer is $2(1+\sec A)$.

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".

You must abide on (1) / the terms of (2) / this government. (3) / No Error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The word "on" is not needed in this context. The correct phrase is "abide by" not "abide on".

"Abide by" is a phrasal verb, which means to act according to a law or agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You must abide by the terms of this government.

Question : If $a-b=2$ and $ab=24$, then what is the value of $a^3-b^3$?

Option 1: 280

Option 2: 124

Option 3: 140

Option 4: 152

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 152


Solution : Given: $a-b=2$ and $ab=24$
We know that $(a-b)^3=a^3-b^3-3ab(a-b)$
⇒ $2^3=a^3-b^3-3(24)(2)$
⇒ $a^3-b^3=8+3\times 24\times 2$
⇒ $a^3-b^3=152$
Hence, the correct answer is 152.

Question : Which one of the following novels was a source of inspiration for the freedom fighters in India?

Option 1: Pariksha Guru

Option 2: Anandamath

Option 3: Rangbhoomi

Option 4: Padmarag

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Anandamath


Solution : The correct answer is Anandamath.

The novel gives a glimpse of colonial India in which the presence of Englishmen—the colonisers—leads to the depiction of Indians suffering from famine and poverty.

Question : The population of the city was 12,50,000 in the year 2010. It increased at the rate of 2% per annum during the years 2011 and 2012. In the year 2013, it decreased by 1%. Find the population of the city at the end of 2013.

Option 1: 1,28,54,952

Option 2: 13,50,000

Option 3: 13,87,495

Option 4: 12,87,495

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12,87,495


Solution : The population of the city in 2010 is 1250000.
Then, Population, $P$ = 1250000
Rate of increment, $R$ = 2%
We have to find the population at the end of the year 2012, i.e. time, $n$ = 2 years
Population after 2 years is given by
New Population $= P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n$
$=1250000(1+\frac{2}{100})^2$
$=1250000\times \frac{51}{50}\times \frac{51}{50}$
$=13,00,500$
Again it decreased by 1%
$R = –1$%
New Population $= P(1-\frac{R}{100})$
$=1300500(1-\frac{1}{100})$
$=1300500\times \frac{99}{100}$
$=12,87,495$
Hence, the correct answer is 12,87,495.
