Question : The speed of a car is 63 km/hr. What is the distance travelled by it in 10 seconds?

Option 1: 175 m

Option 2: 1.75 km

Option 3: 185 m

Option 4: 17.5 m

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 175 m


Solution : Given: The speed of a car is 63 km/hr.
63 km/hr = $\frac{63×5}{18}=\frac{35}{2}$ m/sec
In 10 seconds the car will travel = $(\frac{35}{2}×10)$ metres = 175 metres
Hence, the correct answer is 175 m.

Question : Directions: If 5 # 2 = 25 and 8 # 2 = 64, then 11 # 2 = ?

Option 1: 143

Option 2: 99

Option 3: 121

Option 4: 1331

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 121


Solution : Given:
5 # 2 = 25 and 8 # 2 = 64, then 11 # 2 = ?

Replace #2 with the square. So, the equations will be –
5 # 2 = 25→5² = 25
8 # 2 = 64→8² = 64
Similarly, 11

Question : The difference between compound interest and simple interest for 3 years and 2 years are in the ratio 23 : 7, respectively. What is the rate of interest per year (in %)?

Option 1: $\frac{200}{7}$

Option 2: $\frac{100}{7}$

Option 3: $\frac{300}{7}$

Option 4: $\frac{400}{7}$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{200}{7}$


Solution : Difference between CI and SI for 2 years = $\frac{PR^2}{10000}$
Difference between CI and SI for 3 years = $\frac{PR^2}{10000}×\frac{300+R}{100}$
Ratio = $\frac{PR^2}{10000}×\frac{300+R}{100}$:$\frac{PR^2}{10000}$
⇒ $23 : 7 = \frac{300+R}{100}:1$
⇒ $\frac{300+R}{100} = \frac{23}{7}$
⇒ $7(300+R) = 2300$
⇒ $ R = \frac{200}{7}$%
Hence, the correct

Question : If $6 \sec \theta=10$, then find the value of $\frac{5 \operatorname{cosec} \theta-3 \cot \theta}{4 \cos \theta+3 \sin \theta}$.

Option 1: $\frac{2}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{5}{6}$

Option 4: $\frac{6}{5}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{6}$


Solution : Given, $6 \sec \theta=10$
⇒ $\sec\theta=\frac{10}{6}=\frac53$
We know, $\sec\theta = \frac{1}{\cos\theta},\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\text{ and }\operatorname{cosec\theta}=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{3}{5}$
⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}$
⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5})^2}$
​​​​​​​⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25}}$
​​​​​​​⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{\frac{25-9}{25}}$
​​​​​​​⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}$
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac{4}{5}$
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​⇒ $\operatorname{cosec\theta}=\frac54$
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​⇒ $\cot\theta=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=\frac{3}{4}$
So, $\frac{5 \operatorname{cosec} \theta-3 \cot \theta}{4 \cos \theta+3 \sin \theta}=\frac{5\times\frac54-3\times\frac34}{4\times\frac35+3\times\frac45}=\frac{\frac{25}{4}-\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{12}{5}+\frac{12}{5}}=\frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{24}{5}}=\frac{16\times5}{4\times 24}=\frac56$
Hence, the correct
