If I was the President of India, / I would work / to ensure communal harmony.

Option 1: No Error

Option 2: to ensure communal harmony

Option 3: I would work

Option 4: If I was the President of India,

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: If I was the President of India,


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

In conditional sentences expressing unreal or hypothetical situations, the correct form is often "were" instead of "was" when using the subjunctive mood. So, the correct construction is "If I were the President of India."

This construction maintains proper grammar and conveys the hypothetical nature of the statement.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "If I were the President of India, I would work to ensure communal harmony."

Option 1: He says to me that he would help me.

Option 2: He will tell me that he will help me.

Option 3: He tells me that he helped me.

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: He will tell me that he will help me.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Reported speech involves converting direct speech (spoken words) into indirect speech (reported words).

Narration Conversion:

  • The verb "say" in direct speech is changed to the reporting verb "tell".
  • The pronouns "you" and "I" are changed to "he" and "me" to reflect the change in reported speech.
  • The verb "will help" remains unchanged, as the tense remains unchanged.
  • The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He will tell me that he will help me.

Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case, no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".

He distributed the (candies between the children).

  1. candies in the children
  2. candies for the children
  3. candies among the children
  4. No Improvement

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence. The preposition between should be replaced with among to convey the intended meaning that he distributed the candies among the children, suggesting that there were several children involved in the distribution. Between is used when talking about two entities and among is used when more than two are being referred to. 

The other options in and for do not fit in contextually in the sentence. 

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "He distributed the candies among the children."

  • Delegated: This means to entrust a task or responsibility to another person.

Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No substitution’.
Wait at this billing counter unless I have bring some items I still need to get.

Option 1: until and unless I have bring

Option 2: unless I have brought

Option 3: until I bring

Option 4: No substitution

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: until I bring


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The conjunction unless is followed by a clause that usually contains a present or past simple tense verb. The suggested substitution until I bring is more appropriate because, until is used for a conditional time frame and it works well with a simple present tense verb, making the sentence grammatically correct.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Wait at this billing counter until I bring some items I still need to get."

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Let the number be X
X + 2(X)3 = 1467

Let's check each option –
First option: 6; 6 + 2 × (6)3 = 6 + 2 × 216 
6 + 432 = 438
438 ≠ 1467 
Second option: 9; 9 + 2 × (9)3 = 9 + 2 × 729
9 + 1458 = 1467
1467 = 1467
Third option: 7; 7 + 2 × (7)3 = 7 + 2 × 343
7 + 686 = 693
693 ≠ 1467 
Fourth option: 8; 8 + 2 × (8)3 = 8 + 2 × 512
8 + 1024 =1032
1032 ≠ 1467 

So, the required number is 9. Hence, the second option is correct.
