Question : The sum of twice a number and thrice its reciprocal is $\frac{25}{2}$. What is the number?

Option 1: 7

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6


Solution : Given: The sum of a twice a number and thrice its reciprocal is $\frac{25}{2}$.
Let the number be $x$.
According to the question,
$2x+\frac{3}{x}=\frac{25}{2}$
$\Rightarrow 4x^2+6=25x$
$\Rightarrow 4x^2-25x+6=0$
$\Rightarrow 4x^2-24x-x+6=0$
$\Rightarrow (4x-1)(x-6)=0$
$\Rightarrow (4x-1)=0$ or $(x-6)=0$
$\Rightarrow x=6$ or $\frac{1}{4}$
After checking the options, we

Question : In a circle, an arc subtends an angle of 84° at the centre. If the length of the arc is 22 cm, then the radius of the circle (in cm) is equal to:
Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$

Option 1: 19

Option 2: 15

Option 3: 17

Option 4: 13

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Solution : The angle subtended by an arc at the centre = $84^\circ$
Length of given arc = 22 cm
Let the radius of the circle be $r$.
We know, length of arc = $\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times 2\pi r$
As per given condition,
$\frac{84^\circ}{360^\circ}\times 2 \pi r = 22$

Question : The base of a right pyramid is an equilateral triangle of side $10\sqrt3$ cm. If the total surface area of the pyramid is $270\sqrt3$ sq. cm. its height is:

Option 1: $12\sqrt3$ cm

Option 2: $10$ cm

Option 3: $10\sqrt3$ cm

Option 4: $12$ cm

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $12$ cm


Solution :

Given: The base of a right pyramid is an equilateral triangle.
Side of a triangle $AB = 10\sqrt3$ cm
The total surface area of a pyramid $= 270\sqrt3$ cm2
$\therefore$ Inradius of a triangle $OE = \frac{\text{side of equilateral triangle}}{2\sqrt3}$
= $\frac{10\sqrt3}{2\sqrt3}=5$ cm

Question : Find the fourth proportion for 15, 55, and 81.

Option 1: 231

Option 2: 297

Option 3: 335

Option 4: 313

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 297


Solution : Assuming the fourth proportion is $x$.
15 : 55 :: 81 : $x$
⇒ $\frac{15}{55}$ = $\frac{81}{x}$
⇒ $x$ = $\frac{81×55}{15}$
⇒ $x$ = 297
Hence, the correct answer is 297.
