Question : If the phase difference between two points is 1200 for a wave with a velocity of 360 m/s and a frequency of 500 Hz, then the path difference between the two points is:

Option 1: 1 cm

Option 2: 6 cm

Option 3: 12 cm

Option 4: 24 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24 cm


Solution : The correct option is 24cm.

Wavelength (λ ) can be calculated by dividing the velocity (v) of the wave by the wave frequency (f)

λ = v/f

λ = 360/500 = 0.72

φ= path difference

The path difference between the two points is

Question : If the simple interest on INR 2,500 is more than the interest on INR 1,500 by INR 360 in 3 years, then find the rate of interest per annum.

Option 1: 11%

Option 2: 9%

Option 3: 10%

Option 4: 12%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12%


Solution : Let $R$ be the rate of interest.
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
Simple interest on INR 2,500 after 3 years = $\frac{2500×3×R}{100}$
Simple interest on INR 1,500 after 3 years = $\frac{1500×3×R}{100}$
According to the question,
$\frac{1500×3×R}{100}$ + 360 = $\frac{2500×3×R}{100}$

Question : Directions: If 28373 is coded as 4166146 in a coding system, then how will 19351 be coded in the same coding system?

Option 1: 2186210

Option 2: 2186102

Option 3: 2813620

Option 4: 2180619

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2186102


Solution : Given:
28373 is coded as 4166146.

Multiply each digit of the 28373 by 2, to get the required code –
2 × 2 = 4; 8 × 2 = 16; 3 × 2 = 6; 7 × 2 = 14; 3 × 2 = 6

Question : Directions: Find the missing number from the given responses.

Option 1: 68

Option 2: 65

Option 3: 55

Option 4: 60

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 65


Solution : Here, multiply the number by 2 and subtract 1 in the clockwise direction to get the next number. 
Like, 17 = 9 × 2 – 1
And, 33 = 17 × 2 – 1
Similarly, 33 × 2 – 1 = 65

So, the missing

Question : A man hired a domestic helper under the agreement to pay him Rs. 90 and provide a turban after one year of service. However, the domestic helper worked only for nine months and received Rs. 65 along with the turban. Determine the price of the turban.

Option 1: Rs. 25

Option 2: Rs. 18.75

Option 3: Rs. 10

Option 4: Rs. 2.50

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 10


Solution : Let the price of the turban be Rs. $x$.
Condition:
12 month payment  $= 90 + x$
1 month payment $= \frac{90+x}{12}$
9 month payment = $\frac{90+x}{12}×9$
He worked for 9 months and got Rs. 65 and a turban.
$\frac{90+x}{12} × 9 = 65

Question : If 18 mechanics can repair 90 cars in 10 days, how many mechanics will be required to repair 150 cars in 12 days?

Option 1: 25

Option 2: 30

Option 3: 20

Option 4: 27

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25


Solution : Given: 18 mechanics can repair 90 cars in 10 days.
We know, $\frac{M_{1}\times D_{1}}{W_{1}}=\frac{M_{2}\times D_{2}}{W_{2}}$,
Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are men, $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days and $W_1$ and $W_2$ are work done.
⇒ $\frac{18×10}{90}=\frac{M_2×12}{150}$
$\therefore M_2=25$
Hence, the correct answer is 25.
