Question : After deducting 20% from a certain sum, and then 10% from the remainder, there is INR 7,200 left. Find the original sum.

Option 1: INR 9,000

Option 2: INR 10,000

Option 3: INR 7,500

Option 4: INR 7,800

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 10,000


Solution : Let $x$ be the total money.
First deduction = 20% of $x$
Money left after first deduction = 80% of $x$ = $\frac{4x}{5}$
Second deduction = 10% of $\frac{4x}{5}$
Money left after second deduction = 90% of $\frac{4x}{5}$ = $\frac{36x}{50}$
According to the question,
$\frac{36x}{50}=7200$
$\therefore x=\frac{7200×50}{36}=10000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 10,000.

Question : Directions: From the given alternative words, select the word that cannot be formed using the letters of the given word.
RAPPROCHEMENT

Option 1: MACHETE

Option 2: POACH

Option 3: RAPID

Option 4: TEAM

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: RAPID


Solution : Given:
RAPPROCHEMENT

Now, let's compare all the option words with the word RAPPROCHEMENT –
First option: MACHETE; All the letters of MACHETE are present in the word RAPPROCHEMENT.
Second option: POACH; All the letters of POACH are present in the word RAPPROCHEMENT.
Third option: RAPID; I and D are not present in the word RAPPROCHEMENT. Therefore, all the letters of RAPID are not present in the word RAPPROCHEMENT.
Fourth option: TEAM; All the letters of TEAM are present in the word RAPPROCHEMENT.

So, from the above, only RAPID cannot be formed from the word RAPPROCHEMENT. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, if TRAILER is written as RPYGJCP, then how will PEACOCK be written in the same code language?

Option 1: MBXZIZH

Option 2: OCXALAI

Option 3: NCYAMAI

Option 4: NBYZMZI

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: NCYAMAI


Solution : Given:
TRAILER is written as RPYGJCP –

Subtract 2 from each letter of TRAILER to obtain the required code –
T – 2 = R; R – 2 = P; A – 2 = Y; I – 2 = G; L – 2 = J; E – 2 = C; R – 2 = P
Thus, TRAILER is coded as RPYGJCP.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for PEACOCK –
P – 2 = N; E – 2 = C; A – 2 = Y; C – 2 = A; O – 2 = M; C – 2 = A; K – 2 = I

So, PEACOCK is coded as NCYAMAI. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : If $16 y^2-k=\left(4 y+\frac{3}{2}\right)\left(4 y-\frac{3}{2}\right)$, then the value of $k$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{9}{4}$

Option 2: $\frac{11}{4}$

Option 3: $\frac{6}{4}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{4}$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{9}{4}$


Solution : $16 y^2-k=\left(4 y+\frac{3}{2}\right)\left(4 y-\frac{3}{2}\right)$
$⇒(4y)^2-k=(4y)^2-(\frac{3}{2})^2$
$⇒k=(\frac{3}{2})^2$
$\therefore k = \frac{9}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{9}{4}$.

Question : Which is the most widely accepted model to explain the formation and evaluation of the solar system?

Option 1: Nebular hypothesis

Option 2: Gas hypothesis

Option 3: Solar hypothesis

Option 4: Cloud hypothesis

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Nebular hypothesis


Solution : The correct answer is the Nebular hypothesis.

The prevailing model for planetary formation is the nebular hypothesis, suggesting that approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System originated from the gravitational collapse of a vast molecular cloud. This cloud, spanning several light-years, underwent a collapse, giving rise to numerous stars, including our sun.

Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one/two terms missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 18, 20, 24, 30, ?, ?

Option 1: 32, 34

Option 2: 34, 36

Option 3: 32, 38

Option 4: 32, 33

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 32, 38


Solution : Given:
4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 18, 20, 24, 30, ?, ?

Add 1 to the consecutive prime numbers to get the terms of the given series.
3 + 1 = 4; 5 + 1 = 6; 7 + 1 = 8; 11 + 1 = 12; 13 + 1 = 14; 17 + 1 = 18; 19 + 1 = 20; 23 + 1 = 24; 29 + 1 = 30
The next prime numbers are 31, 37. Thus, the next terms→31 + 1 = 32; 37 + 1 = 38

So, 32 and 38 are the missing terms of the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : The solar eclipse occurs when:

Option 1: the Sun comes between the moon and the Earth

Option 2: the moon moves too far away from the Sun

Option 3: an asteroid comes between the Sun and the moon

Option 4: the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun


Solution : The correct option is the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun.

When the Moon comes in front of the Sun, it blocks some or all of the Sun's light from reaching the Earth, and a solar eclipse takes place. When a total solar eclipse occurs, the Sun is entirely obscured by the moon as seen from the Earth. The solar corona, or outer atmosphere of the Sun, comes into view.

Question : What is the total surface area of a cuboid whose length, breadth, and height are 7 cm, 5 cm, and 9 cm, respectively?

Option 1: 190 cm2

Option 2: 403 cm2

Option 3: 286 cm2,

Option 4: 386 cm2

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 286 cm2,


Solution : The total surface area $A$ of a cuboid, where $l$ is the length, $b$ is the breadth, and $h$ is the height of the cuboid.
$A = 2(lb + bh + hl)$
Substituting $l$ = 7 cm, $b$ = 5 cm, and $h$ = 9 cm into the formula,
$A = 2(7 \times 5 + 5 \times 9 + 7 \times 9) = 2(35 + 45 + 63) = 2 \times 143 = 286 \, \text{cm}^2$
Hence, the correct answer is 286 cm2.
