Question : Kartik takes 4 hours to travel from place X to place Y at the speed of 80 km/hr. He takes 1 hour to travel from place Y to place Z with 80% increased speed. What is the average speed from Place X to Z for the complete Journey?

Option 1: 82.6 km/hr

Option 2: 90.8 km/hr

Option 3: 92.8 km/hr

Option 4: 88.6 km/hr

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 92.8 km/hr


Solution : Time to travel from place X to place Y = 4 hours
Speed when travelling from place X to place Y = 80 km/hr
Distance from place X to place Y = 4 × 80 = 320 km
Time to travel from place Y to place Z = 1 hour
Speed when travelling from place Y to place Z = 80 × 180% = 144 km/hr
Distance from place Y to place Z = 144 × 1 = 144 km
Average speed = $\frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}$ = $\frac{320+144}{4+1}$ = $\frac{464}{5}$ = 92.8 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 92.8 km/hr.

Question : A man sold an item for Rs. 33,750 and incurred a loss of 25%. At what price should he sell the item to have a profit of 25%?

Option 1: Rs. 45,000

Option 2: Rs. 52,450

Option 3: Rs. 40,850

Option 4: Rs. 56,250

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 56,250


Solution : Given: A man sold an item for Rs. 33,750 and incurred a loss of 25%.
Here the selling price (SP) = Rs. 33,750
Loss percentage = 25%
So, the cost price (CP) = SP × $\frac{100}{100-\text{loss percentage}}$
= 33750 × $\frac{100}{100-25}$
= 33750 × $\frac{100}{75}$
= Rs. 45,000
Now to have a profit of 25%
SP = CP × $\frac{100+\text{profit percentage}}{100}$
= 45000 × $\frac{100+25}{100}$
= 45000 × $\frac{125}{100}$
= Rs. 56,250
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 56,250.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, GANT is coded as 126, and PROM is coded as 186. How will GAIL be coded in that language?

Option 1: 63

Option 2: 79

Option 3: 58

Option 4: 87

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 87


Solution : Given:
GANT is coded as 126, and PROM is coded as 186. 

Add the positional value of the alphabet of the given word and then multiply the resultant by 3.
GANT→7 + 1 + 14 + 20 = 42; 42 × 3 = 126
PROM→16 + 18 + 15 + 13 = 62; 62 × 3 = 186
Similarly, GAIL→7 + 1 + 9 + 12 = 29; 29 × 3 = 87

So, GAIL is coded as 87. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
