Option 1: 612

Option 2: 626

Option 3: 616

Option 4: 622

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 616


Solution : Given:
730, 692, 654, ?, 578

Let's check the difference between each number of the given series –
Like, 730 – 692 = 38
And, 692 – 654 = 38
Thus, the common difference between the two numbers is 38.
Similarly, 654 – 38 =

Question : If $\sin \theta+\tan \theta=\mathrm{p}$ and $\tan \theta-\sin \theta=\mathrm{q}$, then which of the relation satisfies for given values of $\mathrm{p}$ and $\mathrm{q}$?

Option 1: $\mathrm{p}^2-\mathrm{q}^2=4 \sqrt{\mathrm{pq}}$

Option 2: $\mathrm{p}^2-\mathrm{q}^2=8 \sqrt{\mathrm{pq}}$

Option 3: $\mathrm{p}^2+\mathrm{q}^2=4 \sqrt{\mathrm{pq}}$

Option 4: $\mathrm{p}^2+\mathrm{q}^2=4 \mathrm{pq}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\mathrm{p}^2-\mathrm{q}^2=4 \sqrt{\mathrm{pq}}$


Solution : Given, $\sin \theta+\tan \theta=\mathrm{p}$ and $\tan \theta-\sin \theta=\mathrm{q}$
Now, $\mathrm{pq}=(\tan \theta-\sin \theta)(\tan \theta+\sin \theta)$
Using $(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$
⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\tan^2\theta-\sin^2\theta$
⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}-\sin^2\theta$
⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\sin^2\theta(\frac{1}{\cos^2\theta}-1)$
⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\sin^2\theta(\frac{1-\cos^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta})$
We know, $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta = 1$
⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\sin^2\theta(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta})$
⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\sin^2\theta\tan^2\theta$
And, $\mathrm{p^2}=(\sin \theta+\tan \theta)^2$
$=\sin^2 \theta+\tan^2 \theta+2\sin\theta\tan\theta$
Also, $\mathrm{q^2}=(\tan \theta-\sin \theta)^2$

Question : The area of a sector of a circle that subtends a 22.5° angle at the centre is given as 346.5 cm². What will be the radius (in cm) of the circle? [Use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$]

Option 1: 35

Option 2: 45

Option 3: 42

Option 4: 48

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 42


Solution : Given, Area = 346.5 cm$^2$
Angle ($\theta$) = 22.5°
Let $r$ be the radius.
Area $=\frac{\theta}{360°}\times \pi r^2$
⇒ $346.5=\frac{22.5°}{360°}\times \frac{22}{7}\times r^2$
⇒ $\frac{346.5\times360\times7}{22.5\times 22}=r^2$
⇒ $r^2 = \frac{873180}{495}$
⇒ $r^2=1764$
⇒ $r=\sqrt{1764}$
⇒ $r$ = 42 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 42.

Question : In a showroom, the ratio of TVs and rice cookers is 2 : 3. Find the percentage of rice cookers in the showroom.

Option 1: 40%

Option 2: 30%

Option 3: 60%

Option 4: 50%

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60%


Solution : Given: The ratio of TVs and rice cookers is 2 : 3.
Let the amount of TVs be 2x and rice cookers be 3x.
Sum of TVs and rice cookers = 2x + 3x = 5x
$\therefore$ Percentage of rice cookers = $\frac{3x}{5x}\times100= 60\%$
Hence,
