75 ÷ 15 × 8 + 14 – 5 = 67

Option 1: ÷ and ×

Option 2: – and ÷

Option 3: – and ×

Option 4: + and –

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: – and ×


Solution : Given:
75 ÷ 15 × 8 + 14 – 5 = 67

Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation.
First option: ÷ and ×
⇒ 75 × 15 ÷ 8 + 14 – 5 = 67
= 140.625 + 14 – 5
= 149.625 ≠ 67
Second option: – and ÷
⇒ 75 – 15 × 8 + 14 ÷ 5 = 67
= 75 – 120 + 2.8
= 42.2 ≠ 67
Third option: – and ×
⇒ 75 ÷ 15 – 8 + 14 × 5 = 67
= 5 – 8 + 70
= 67
Fourth option: + and –
⇒ 75 ÷ 15 × 8 – 14 + 5 = 67
= 40 – 9
= 31 ≠ 67

Here, only the third option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : If $\sin7x=\cos11x$, then the value of $\tan9x+\cot9x$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : We know that $\sin(90° - \theta) = \cos\theta$
$\sin7x = \cos11x$
$⇒\sin7x = \sin (90° - 11x)$
$⇒7x = 90° - 11x$
$⇒18x = 90°$
$⇒x = 5°$
Substituting $x = 5°$ in $\tan9x+\cot9x$,
$\therefore\tan45° + \cot45°=1 + 1= 2$
Hence, the correct answer is $2$.

Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.

I will never judge you for yours impromptu performance.

Option 1: I will never

Option 2: yours impromptu performance.

Option 3: judge you for

Option 4: No error

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: yours impromptu performance.


Solution : The correct choice is in the second option.

Explanation:

The error lies in the use of the possessive pronoun "yours". "Yours" is a possessive pronoun and does not require an additional subject. The correct form is "your impromptu performance", where your functions as a possessive pronoun indicating possession by the subject.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I will never judge you for your impromptu performance.

Option 1: Proficient

Option 2: Below Basic

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Below Basic


Solution : Average performance = $\frac{\text{Sum of performances in all subjects}}{\text{Number of subjects}}$ 
Average performance for Below Basic = $\frac{40+19+41+34+8}{5}$ = 28.4
Average performance for Basic = $\frac{35+45+29+21+5}{5}$ = 27
Average performance for Proficient = $\frac{20+25+25+33+34}{5}$ = 27.4
Average performance for Advance = $\frac{5+11+5+12+52}{5}$ = 17
Hence, the correct answer is Below Basic.

Question : A, B, and C entered into a business and their investment ratio was 5 : 4 : 3. After 4 months B invested Rs. 1,000 more and after 8 months C invested Rs. 2,000 more. At the end of one year, the profit ratio was 15 : 14 : 11, then the investment of C at the beginning was:

Option 1: Rs. 3,000

Option 2: Rs. 6,000

Option 3: Rs. 4,500

Option 4: Rs. 7,500

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 3,000


Solution : Let the opening shares of A, B, and C be $5x$, $4x$, and $3x$.
Ratio of profit = Ratio of investment × Ratio of time
The share of A,
$=5x\times12=60x$
The share of B,
$=4x\times12+1000\times8=48x+8000$
The share of C,
$=3x\times12+2000\times4=36x+8000$
According to the question,
$\frac{60x}{48x+8000}=\frac{15}{14}$
$⇒56x=48x+8000$
$⇒x=1000$
Therefore, the investment of C at the beginning = 3 × 1000 = Rs. 3,000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 3,000.
