Question : To cover a distance of 234 km in 1.6 hr, what should be the average speed of the car in m/s?

Option 1: 40.625

Option 2: 146.25

Option 3: 73.125

Option 4: 81.25

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Solution : Given:
Distance = 234 km = 234000 m
Time = 1.6 hr = 1.6 × 60 × 60 = 5760 s
The average speed is given by the formula:
Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
Speed = $\frac{234000}{5760} = $ 40.625 m/s
Hence, the correct answer is 40.625.

Option 1: $100^{\circ}$ and $130^{\circ}$

Option 2: $115^{\circ}$ and $115^{\circ}$

Option 3: $110^{\circ}$ and $120^{\circ}$

Option 4: $130^{\circ}$ and $100^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $130^{\circ}$ and $100^{\circ}$


Solution : In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of each pair of opposite angles is $180^{\circ}$.
$⇒\angle A + \angle C = 180^{\circ}$
$⇒\angle B + \angle D = 180^{\circ}$
Given that $\angle A = 50^{\circ}$ and $\angle B = 80^{\circ}$
$\therefore\angle C = 180^{\circ}

Question : If $a + b + c = 6$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2=40$, then what is the value of $a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc$?

Option 1: 212

Option 2: 252

Option 3: 232

Option 4: 206

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 252


Solution : Given that $a + b + c = 6$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2=40$,
$(a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab+bc+ac)$.
$⇒6^2 = 40 + 2(ab+bc+ac)$
$⇒ab+bc+ac = -2$
$a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc=(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ac)$
$⇒a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc=6 \times (40 +2)$
$⇒a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc=6 \times 42 $
$⇒a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc=252 $
Hence, the correct answer is 252.

Question : If $a: b=3: 7$, then $(2 a+3 b):(3 a+2 b)$ is:

Option 1: $27:23$

Option 2: $23:29$

Option 3: $21:29$

Option 4: $21:23$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $27:23$


Solution : Given $a:b=3:7$
Let $a=3k$ and $b=7k$ for some constant $k$.
Now, $(2 a+3 b):(3 a+2 b)$
$=\{2(3k)+3(7k)\}:\{3(3k)+2(7k)\}$
$=(6k+21k):(9k+14k)$
$=27k:23k$
$=27:23$
Hence, the correct answer is $27:23$.
