Question : 24 equal solid hemispheres are melted to form a right circular cylinder of radius 12 cm and height 24 cm. Find the radius of each solid hemisphere.

Option 1: 4 cm

Option 2: 8 cm

Option 3: 6 cm

Option 4: 3 cm

Team Careers360 6th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6 cm


Solution : The total volume of the 24 solid hemispheres is equal to the volume of the cylinder.
The volume of the cylinder = $\pi r^2h$
Volume of the cylinder (height $h$, radius $r$) = $\pi(12)^2 × 24 = 144 × 24\pi$
Since the 24 solid

Question : In a $\triangle {JKL}, {O}$ is the orthocenter of this triangle. $\angle {K}=55$ degree and $\angle {KOL}=120$ degree. What is the value of $\angle {JLK}$?

Option 1: 60 degree

Option 2: 65 degree

Option 3: 55 degree

Option 4: 70 degree

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 65 degree


Solution :
Given, ${O}$ is the orthocenter of this triangle, $\angle {K}=55$ degree and $\angle \mathrm{KOL}=120$ degree. 
In quadrilateral ${JMON}$,
$\angle KJL + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle MON = 360^\circ$
⇒ $\angle KJL + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + 120^\circ = 360^\circ$
⇒ $\angle KJL =

Question : Rs. 6000 is lent at the rate of 20% per annum on compound interest (compounded half yearly). What will be the compound interest of 18 months?

Option 1: Rs. 1825

Option 2: Rs. 1986

Option 3: Rs. 1876

Option 4: Rs. 2036

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 1986


Solution : Principal, $P$ = Rs. 6000
Time, $t$ = 18 months = 1.5 years
Rate, $R$ = 20% per annum
Amount = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{nt}$, where $n$ is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
= $6000(1+\frac{\frac{20}{2}}{100})^{2 \times 1.5}$
= $6000 \times 1.10^3$

Question : The cost price of 44 items is the same as the selling price of $x$ items. If the profit is 10%, then what is the value of $x$?

Option 1: 55

Option 2: 40

Option 3: 60

Option 4: 50

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40


Solution : Cost price of 44 items = Selling price of $x$ items
Profit = 10%
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{(Selling price – Cost price)}}{\text{Cost price}} \times 100$
$⇒ 10 =\frac{(44 - x)}{x} \times 100$
$⇒ x = 40$
Hence, the correct answer is 40.

Question : If $x^3=270+y^3$ and $x=(6+y)$, then what is the value of $(x+y)? $(given that $x>0$ and $y>0$)

Option 1: $2 \sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $4 \sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $4 \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4 \sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given: $x^3=270+y^3$ and $x=(6+y)$
Putting the value of the $x=(6+y)$, we have:
⇒ $(6)^{3}+y^{3}+3×6×y(6+y)=270+y^{3}$
⇒ $216+y^{3}+18y(6+y)=270+y^{3}$
⇒ $108y+18y^{2}–54=0$
⇒ $y^{2}+6y–3=0$
The given quadratic equation is $y^{2}+6y-3=0$. 
$y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$
⇒ $y = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^{2}-4(1)(-3)}}{2(1)}$
⇒ $y = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{48}}{2}$
