Question : Directions: The image of a clock in a mirror is seen as 3:15. What is the right time?

Option 1: 8:45

Option 2: 10:45

Option 3: 7:45

Option 4: 9:45

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8:45


Solution : Given:
Reflected time is 3:15.

Because the time 3:15 lies between 1:00 and 11:00, so to get the actual time subtract the reflected time from 11:60.
Actual time = 11:60 – 3:15 = 8:45

So, 8:45 is the right time. Hence, the first option is

Question : In $\Delta ABC$, the external bisector of the angles, $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ meet at the point $O$. If $\angle A = 70^\circ$, then the measure of $\angle BOC$:

Option 1: $55^\circ$

Option 2: $75^\circ$

Option 3: $60^\circ$

Option 4: $50^\circ$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $55^\circ$


Solution :
Given: $\angle A = 70^\circ$
To find: $\angle BOC$
We know that,
Angle formed by external angle bisectors = $90^\circ-\frac{1}{2}\angle A$
⇒ $\angle BOC$ = $90^\circ-\frac{1}{2}\angle A$
= $90^\circ-\frac{1}{2}×70^\circ$
= $90^\circ-35^\circ$
= $55^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is $55^\circ$.

Question : Find two numbers such that their mean proportion is 16 and the third proportion is 1024.

Option 1: 4 and 32

Option 2: 4 and 64

Option 3: 8 and 64

Option 4: 8 and 32

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4 and 64


Solution : Let the two numbers as $a$ and $b$. The mean proportion of two numbers is the square root of their product. 
$\sqrt{ab} = 16$
Squaring both sides, 
$ab = 256$.....................................(1)
The third proportional of two numbers $a$ and $b$ is the number which

Question : If $\sec \theta=2 \frac{4}{23}$,find the value of $\tan^2 \theta$.

Option 1: $2 \frac{16}{529}$

Option 2: $1 \frac{200}{529}$

Option 3: $3 \frac{384}{529}$

Option 4: $3 \frac{177}{529}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3 \frac{384}{529}$


Solution : Given:
$\sec \theta=2 \frac{4}{23}=\frac{50}{23}$
We know, $\tan^2\theta=\sec^2\theta-1$
⇒ $\tan^2\theta=(\frac{50}{23})^2-1$
⇒ $\tan^2\theta=\frac{2500}{529}-1$
⇒ $\tan^2\theta=\frac{1971}{529}$
$\therefore \tan^2\theta=3 \frac{384}{529}$
Hence, the correct answer is $3 \frac{384}{529}$.

Question : If the sum of a non-zero number and thrice its reciprocal is $\frac{52}{7}$. Find the number.

Option 1: 8

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 6

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Given: The sum of a non-zero number and thrice its reciprocal is $\frac{52}{7}$.
Let the number be $x$.
According to the question,
$x+\frac{3}{x}=\frac{52}{7}$
$\Rightarrow 7x^2-52x+21=0$
$\Rightarrow (7x-3)(x-7)=0$
$\Rightarrow (7x-3)$ or $(x-7)=0$
$\Rightarrow x=7$ or $ \frac{3}{7}$
After checking the options, we get, $x=7$
Hence, the

Question : Simplify the given expression.
$40 \times 7-2 \times\left(11^3 \div 11\right) \div 22+30$

Option 1: 297

Option 2: 298

Option 3: 300

Option 4: 299

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 299


Solution : $40 \times 7-2 \times\left(11^3 \div 11\right) \div 22+30$
$=40 \times 7-2 \times(11^2) \div 22+30$
$=40 \times 7-2 \times(\frac{11}{2}) +30$
$=40 \times 7-11 +30$
$=280-11 +30$
$=310-11$
$=299$
Hence, the correct answer is 299.
