Question : Directions: If A denotes addition, B denotes multiplication, C denotes subtraction, and D denotes division, then what will be the value of the following equation:
24 B 14 C 264 D 22 A 42 = ?

Option 1: 346

Option 2: 336

Option 3: 366

Option 4: 356

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 366


Solution : Given:
A denotes addition, B denotes multiplication, C denotes subtraction, and D denotes division
24 B 14 C 264 D 22 A 42 = ?

After replacing the letters with the mathematical signs, we get –
= 24 × 14 – 264 ÷ 22 + 42
= 24 × 14 – 12 + 42
= 336 – 12 + 42
= 366

So, 366 is the answer to the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.

I like Rahane's style of batting more than Kohli.

Option 1: more from Kohli

Option 2: more from Kohli's

Option 3: No substitution required

Option 4: more than Kohli's

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: more than Kohli's


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

Explanation: In making comparisons, it's crucial to ensure parallelism and grammatical correctness. The original sentence compares Rahane's style of batting with Kohli's, and the correct structure is more than when making this type of comparison. The phrase more than Kohli's maintains parallelism, effectively conveying the intended meaning that Rahane's style of batting is preferred over Kohli's.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I like Rahane's style of batting more than Kohli's.

Question : When does the problem of unfavourable balance of payments arise?

Option 1: Imports > Exports

Option 2: Exports = Imports

Option 3: Inflation decreases

Option 4: No option is correct

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Solution : The correct answer is Imports > Exports

An unfavourable balance of payments problem occurs when a country's imports exceed its exports. This situation can emerge for a variety of reasons and can have economic consequences. Trade imbalances, capital flows, currency rate fluctuations, government policies, and external shocks are all common causes of an unfavourable balance of payments. They also include trade imbalances, in which a country purchases more than it sells, and capital outflows surpass inflows.

Question : Select the correct indirect narration of the given sentence.

"How are you feeling today, Rahul?" asked the doctor.

Option 1: The doctor asked Rahul how he is feeling today.

Option 2: The doctor asked Rahul how he was feeling that day.

Option 3: The doctor asked Rahul about how he is feeling that day.

Option 4: The doctor asked Rahul how he is feeling this day.

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The doctor asked Rahul how he was feeling that day.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Reported speech is the form of speech used to convey what was said by someone at some point in time.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The reporting verb "asked" remains the same in the indirect speech in the case of the interrogative sentence.
  • The pronoun "you" (second-person pronoun) is changed to "he" (third-person pronoun) in the indirect speech.
  • Since the direct speech is in the present tense, it is changed to the past tense in the indirect speech. So, the verb "is" is changed to "was".
  • "Today" in the direct speech is changed to "that day".

So, the correct sentence would be: "The doctor asked Rahul how he was feeling that day."

Question : Direction: If Z = Y > R = M and G > H = Z = Q, then which of the following options is NOT correct?

Option 1: H = Y

Option 2: G > Q

Option 3: R > Z

Option 4: Q > R

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: R > Z


Solution : Given:
Z = Y > R = M and G > H = Z = Q, 
After combining the statements: G > H = Z = Q = Z = Y > R = M
Let's check each option –

First option: H = Y; True, as H = Z = Q =  Z = Y makes H = Z.
Second option: G > Q; True, as G > H = Z = Q makes G > Q.
Third option: R > Z; False, as Z = Y > R makes Z > R.
Fourth option: Q > R; True, as Q = Z = Y > R makes Q > R.

Therefore, the conclusion given in the third option is NOT correct. Hence, the third option is correct.
