Question : Directions: In a certain code RAIN is written as TCKP. How is CLOUD written in that code?

Option 1: ENQWF

Option 2: EMQWF

Option 3: FNQWE

Option 4: ENRWF

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ENQWF


Solution : Given:
RAIN is written as TCKP.

Add 2 to the place value of each letter of RAIN to obtain the required code –
R + 2 = T; A + 2 = C; I + 2 = K; N + 2 = P
Thus, RAIN is coded as TCKP.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for CLOUD –
C + 2 = E; L + 2 = N; O + 2 = Q; U + 2 = W; D + 2 = F

So, CLOUD is coded as ENQWF. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

Where have those important documents been hidden by you?

Option 1: Where do you hide those important documents?

Option 2: Where did you hide those important documents?

Option 3: Where have you hidden those important documents?

Option 4: Where are you hiding those important documents?

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Where have you hidden those important documents?


Solution : The third option is correct.

The active voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject performs the action. It's a more direct and straightforward way of expressing ideas. In an active sentence, the subject is the doer of the action, and the object is the receiver of the action.

The structure of the sentence in active voice in an interrogative sentence is: "Wh word + have + subject + past participle form of the verb + object?"

Therefore, the correct answer is: "Where have you hidden those important documents?"

So, the required missing number is 1531. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: In a code language, RAJAT is coded as UCMCW, and NIRAJ is coded as QKUCM. How will MUKUL be coded in the same language?

Option 1: PWNWO

Option 2: OXMXN

Option 3: PWNXO

Option 4: OXNWO

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: PWNWO


Solution : Given:
RAJAT is coded as UCMCW, and NIRAJ is coded as QKUCM. 

Add 3 and 2 to the place values of the alternative letters of RAJAT, to obtain the required code –
R + 3 = U; A + 2 = C; J + 3 = M; A + 2 = C; T + 3 = W
Thus, RAJAT is coded as UCMCW.
And, NIRAJ is coded as QKUCM –
N + 3 = Q; I + 2 = K; R + 3 = U; A + 2 = C; J + 3 = M
Thus, NIRAJ is coded as QKUCM.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for MUKUL –
M + 3 = P; U + 2 = W; K + 3 = N; U + 2 = W; L + 3 = O

Thus, MUKUL is coded as PWNWO. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: Find the wrong number in the following series.
16, 16, 17, 21, 27, 46, 71

Option 1: 27

Option 2: 46

Option 3: 16

Option 4: 71

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 27


Solution : Given:
16, 16, 17, 21, 27, 46, 71

Add the square of the consecutive whole numbers to the previous term to obtain the next term –
16 + (0)= 16; 16 + (1)2 = 17; 17 + (2)2 = 21; 21 + (3)2 = 30 ≠ 27; 30 + (4)2 = 46; 46 + (5)= 71

So, 27 is the wrong term in the given series. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the questions.

A woman who rides the success wave as an underwater photographer, pilot, financial adviser, management consultant, pearl diver, bartender, bus driver, or police officer, is very often suddenly swung back looking for answers after she becomes a mother.
And there comes a phase when she has to choose between motherhood and a thriving career. The former takes precedence for many, as it becomes the purpose for the latter to exist.
To work or not to work: Hobson’s choice imposes a high cost on both individuals and society. As a result, many professionals reject motherhood entirely. Others delay childbearing for so long that they are forced into the arms of the booming fertility industry. Some choose not to work at all, representing a loss to collective investment in talent. But a choice must be made!
Conventionally, a mother is seen putting others before herself. She is known for slaying her sphere bit by bit to build a new world for her child. Thereupon, motherhood and sacrifice get conjoined in such a way that both become inseparable.
What merits attention is to understand a woman’s struggle to answer the individual within her! Her circumstances post-delivery (over which she hardly has any control) conveniently rob her of the goalpost she fielded half her life, that is, her career. Neither money nor family can restore what is lost when she loses her career.
To map the paradigm of this loss-gain conundrum, let’s examine women in the empowered and non-empowered categories. The first lot has financial, ideological, and emotional resources to re-create a career. It is the latter that gets sandwiched between their call for motherhood and a slipping career.
Noticeably, education is the least responsible factor for their deplorable situation. Instead, it is the educated bunch who are more frustrated than their uneducated counterparts; the ones who had carefully worked on a skill and climbed up the success ladder, only to embrace identity crises.
It is important to close the vacuum of a lost career as soon as it appears. At risk is a woman’s individuality, her self-esteem, which constitutes the very purpose of her being. Otherwise, a long hiatus from work can consume even a well-minded woman and push her into depression.

Question:
Which of the following options about working women is not mentioned in the passage?

Option 1: Some choose not to have a career.

Option 2: Many decide to adopt babies.

Option 3: Women decide not to bear children.

Option 4: Women delay motherhood.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Many decide to adopt babies.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: The passage discusses various choices and challenges faced by working women regarding motherhood and careers. It mentions that some choose not to have a career, others reject motherhood, and some delay having children. However, it doesn't specifically address the choice of adopting babies.

Therefore, the incorrect sentence would be many decide to adopt babies.
