Question : In $\triangle$PQR, the angle bisector of $\angle$P intersects QR at M. If PQ = PR, then what is the value of $\angle$PMQ?

Option 1: 75°

Option 2: 80°

Option 3: 70°

Option 4: 90°

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 90°


Solution :
In $\triangle$PQR, PQ = PR
⇒ $\angle$Q = $\angle$R = b
PM is the angle bisector of $\angle$P.
$\angle$QPM = $\angle$RPM = a
Apply angle sum property in $\triangle$PQR,
⇒ $\angle$P + $\angle$Q + $\angle$R = 180°
⇒ $\angle$P + b + b = 180°
⇒ $\angle$P = 180° – 2b
$\angle$QPM = $\frac{180° – 2b}{2}$ = 90° – b
In $\triangle$PQM,
Let $\angle$PMQ = $\theta$
⇒ $\angle$QPM + $\angle$Q + $\angle$M = 180°
⇒ 90° – b + b + $\theta$ = 180°
⇒ $\theta$ = 90°
Hence, the correct answer is 90°.

Question : A class is divided into two sections, with 20 students in one section and 30 students in the other. The pass percentages for these sections are 80% and 60%, respectively. What is the pass percentage for the entire class?

Option 1: 60%

Option 2: 68%

Option 3: 70%

Option 4: 78%

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 68%


Solution : The number of students who passed
= 80% of 20 + 60% of 30
= $\frac{80 × 20}{100}$ + $\frac{60 × 30}{100}$
= 16 + 18
= 34
Now, the pass percentage of the entire class
= $\frac{\text{Number of students passed}}{\text{Total students}}$ × 100
= $\frac{34}{(20 + 30)}$ × 100
= 68%
Hence, the correct answer is 68%.

Question : Directions: In the following question, select the odd one from the given alternatives.

Option 1: AG

Option 2: CE

Option 3: BF

Option 4: GF

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: GF


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: AG; A→1, G→7, A + G = 1 + 7 = 8
Second option: CE; C→3, E→5, C + E = 3 + 5 = 8
Third option: BF; B→2, F→6, B + F = 2 + 6 = 8
Fourth option: GF; G→7, F→6, G + F = 7 + 6 = 13

The fourth option does not follow the pattern of the other options. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Air is said to be saturated when -

Option 1: It contains the maximum content of water vapour.

Option 2: Its pressure is minimum.

Option 3: Its thickness is maximum.

Option 4: It blows over the barren land.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: It contains the maximum content of water vapour.


Solution : The correct option is It contains the maximum content of water vapour.

Nitrogen makes up 78% of the gas in the air, oxygen 21%, followed by argon and carbon dioxide in trace amounts. Water vapour is present in the air in varying amounts, along with dust particles. At a specific pressure and temperature, the air is considered to be saturated when it contains the maximum amount of water vapour. It is found that the relative humidity is 100% in such a condition.

Question : Directions: If the 20th of March 2001 is Tuesday, then what will be the day of the week on the 23rd of April 2021?

Option 1: Friday

Option 2: Tuesday

Option 3: Monday

Option 4: Wednesday

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Friday


Solution : Given:
The 20th of March 2001 is Tuesday.

Number of days from 21st of March 2001 to 20th of March 2021 –
365 × 20 = 7300; add 5 days for leap years (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020) = 7300 + 5 = 7305
Number of days from 21st of March 2021 to 23rd of April 2021 –
March = 11; April = 23
Total number of days: 7305 + 11 + 23 = 7339
The remainder after dividing 7339 by 7 is 3. 
Tuesday + 3 days = Friday

So, the 23rd of April 2021 will be Friday. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : The below bar graph shows the number of toys sold by five different shops (i.e., A, B, C, D, and E) in the first week and second week.

Find the ratio of the total number of toys sold by shops A, B, and C in the first week to the number of toys sold by shops C, D, and E in the second week.

Option 1: 1 : 13

Option 2: 9 : 1

Option 3: 13 : 9

Option 4: 9 : 13

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9 : 13


Solution : Total number of toys sold by shops A, B, and C in the first week = 20 + 40 + 30 = 90
Total number of toys sold by shops C, D, and E in the second week = 20 + 60 + 50 = 130
Ratio = 90 : 130 = 9 : 13
Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 13.

Question : If $9\sqrt{x}=\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{147}$, then $x$ =?

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Solution : $9\sqrt{x} = \sqrt{12} + \sqrt{147}$
⇒ $9\sqrt{x} = 2\sqrt{3} + 7\sqrt{3}$
⇒ $9\sqrt{x} = 9\sqrt{3}$
$\therefore x = 3$
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

My dear, how do you react in those real-life situations?

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 5.

Option 1: Supplicate

Option 2: Dramatise

Option 3: Formerly display

Option 4: Consider

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Consider


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Consider means to think about something, typically before making a decision or forming an opinion. It involves examining or reflecting on various aspects of a situation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Supplicate means to earnestly and humbly ask for something, typically in the form of a request.
  • Dramatise refers to the act of turning something, such as a story, event, or situation, into a dramatic form.
  • Formerly display seems like an incomplete or unclear phrase. "Formerly" generally means in the past or previously, while "display" refers to exhibiting or showing something. Together, they do not form a typical phrase with a specific meaning.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Consider what happens when you walk into a fast-food restaurant.
