Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (32.5, 37.0, 43.5)


Solution : Given:
(10.5, 15.0, 21.5) 

Here, add 4.5 to the first number to obtain the second number, and then add 6.5 to the second number to obtain the third number –
10.5 + 4.5 = 15.0; 15.0 + 6.5 = 21.5
Let's check the

Question : A can do a piece of work in 8 days, while B can do it in 7 days. If they work at it alternately beginning with A, then in how many days will the work be completed?

Option 1: 8

Option 2: $8 \frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $7 \frac{1}{2}$

Option 4: 7

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $7 \frac{1}{2}$


Solution : One day work of A = $\frac{1}{8}$
One day work of B = $\frac{1}{7}$
Working alternatively,
Two day work of A + B = $\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{7}$
= $\frac{15}{56}$
Six days work of (A + B) = $3\times\frac{15}{56}$
= $\frac{45}{56}$
On the seventh day, A works

Question : The blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the various parts of the body are called:

Option 1: Arteries

Option 2: Veins

Option 3: Septum

Option 4: Capillaries

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Arteries


Solution : The correct option is Arteries.

The blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to various parts of the body are called arteries. Arteries are responsible for transporting oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation) and

Question : PA and PB are two tangents from a point P outside the circle with centre O at the points A and B on it. If $\angle A P B=130^{\circ}$, then $\angle O A B$ is equal to:

Option 1: 45°

Option 2: 50°

Option 3: 35°

Option 4: 65°

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 65°


Solution :
Given: PA and PB are tangents
$\angle OAP = 90^\circ $
$\angle OBP = 90^\circ $
As, OAPB is a quadrilateral
$\angle OAP + \angle APB + \angle PBO + \angle BOA = 360^\circ $
⇒ $90^\circ + 130^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle BOA =

Question : If $\cot^2θ = 1 - e^2$, then the value of $\operatorname{cosec} θ + \cot^3θ \sec θ$ is:

Option 1: $\left(2-{e}^2\right)^ \frac{1}{2}$

Option 2: $\left(1-{e}^2\right)^ \frac{3}{2}$

Option 3: $\left(1-{e}^2\right)$

Option 4: $\left(2-{e}^2\right) ^\frac{3}{2}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\left(2-{e}^2\right) ^\frac{3}{2}$


Solution : Given,
$\cot^2θ = 1 - e^2$
Consider,
$\operatorname{cosec} θ + \cot^3θ \sec θ$
$=\frac{1}{\sinθ} + \frac{\cos^3θ}{\sin^3θ}\frac1{\cosθ}$
$=\frac{\sin^2θ+\cos^2θ}{\sin^3θ}$
$=\frac{1}{\sin^3θ}$ [As $\sin^2θ+\cos^2θ=1$]
$=\operatorname{cosec^3}θ$
Also, we know that,
$\operatorname{cosec^2}θ=1+\cot^2θ$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^2}θ=1+1-e^2$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^2}θ=2-e^2$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec}θ=(2-e^2)^{\frac12}$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^3}θ=(2-e^2)^{\frac32}$
Hence, the correct answer is $(2-e^2)^{\frac32}$.

Question : If 42 persons consume 144 kg of wheat in 15 days, how many days will 30 persons consume 48 kg of wheat?

Option 1: 8 days

Option 2: 7 days

Option 3: 12 days

Option 4: 6 days

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7 days


Solution : Given: 42 persons can consume 144 kg of wheat in 15 days.
Let in $x$ days 30 persons consume 48 kg of wheat.
We know that $\frac{M1D1}{W1}=\frac{M2D2}{W2}$
According to the question,
$\frac{42×15}{144}=\frac{30×x}{48}$
⇒ $x=7$
Hence, the correct answer is 7 days.

Question : If $4\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 57^{\circ}-\tan ^2 33^{\circ}\right)-\cos 90^{\circ}-y \tan ^2 66^{\circ} \tan ^2 24^{\circ}=\frac{y}{2}$, the value of $y$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{8}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{8}$

Option 3: $8$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{3}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{8}{3}$


Solution : $\operatorname{cosec}(90^{\circ} - \theta) = \sec \theta$
$\tan\theta = \frac{1}{\cot\theta}$
So, $4\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 57^{\circ}-\tan ^2 33^{\circ}\right)-\cos 90^{\circ}-y \tan ^2 66^{\circ} \tan ^2 24^{\circ}=\frac{y}{2}$
⇒ $(\operatorname{cosec}^{2}(90-33)^{\circ} - \tan^{2}33^{\circ}) - 0- y×\tan^{2}66^{\circ} × \tan^{2}(90-66)^{\circ}$ = $\frac{y}{2}$ 
⇒ $4(\sec^{2}57^{\circ}- \tan^{2}33^{\circ}) -  y × \tan^{2}66^{\circ} × \cot^{2}66^{\circ} = \frac{y}{2}$
⇒ $4
