Question : The angle of elevation of an aeroplane from a point on the ground is 60°. After 15 seconds of flight, the elevation changes to 30°. If the aeroplane is flying at a height of $1500\sqrt{3}$ metre, find the speed of the plane:

Option 1: 300 m/sec

Option 2: 200 m/sec

Option 3: 100 m/sec

Option 4: 150 m/sec

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 200 m/sec


Solution :
Height of the aeroplane = BD = CE = $1500\sqrt{3}$ m and $\angle$ BAE = 60°, $\angle$ CAE = 30°
In $\Delta$ ADB,
$\tan 60°=\frac{1500\sqrt{3}}{AD}$
⇒ $\sqrt{3}=\frac{1500\sqrt{3}}{AD}$
⇒ AD = $\frac{1500\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ AD = 1500 m
In $\Delta$ CAE,
$\tan 30°=\frac{1500\sqrt{3}}{AE}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1500\sqrt{3}}{AE}$

Question : An item is offered for sale at Rs. 250, less by successive discounts of 20% and 15%. The sale price of the item is:

Option 1: 82% of Rs. 250

Option 2: 77% of Rs. 250

Option 3: 68% of Rs. 250

Option 4: 65% of Rs. 250

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 68% of Rs. 250


Solution : Single equivalent discount = $(x+y-\frac{xy}{100}$)% where $x$ and $y$ are two successive discounts.
Total Discount = $(20+15-\frac{20×15}{100}$)%
= 35 – 3
= 32%
So, the required Selling Price = (100 – 32)% of Rs. 250 = 68% of Rs. 250
Hence, the

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Climate policy must now put health at the centre and promote climate change mitigation policies that bring health benefits simultaneously. Health-focused climate policy would help bring about a planet that has cleaner air, more abundant and safer fresh water and food, more effective and fairer health and social protection systems and, as a result, healthier people. Investments in clean energy will yield health gains that repay those investments twice over. There are proven interventions able to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, for instance, applying higher standards for vehicle emissions, which have been calculated to save approximately 2.4 million lives per year, through improved air quality and reduce global warming by about 0.5°C by 2050. The cost of renewable sources of energy has decreased significantly in the last few years, and solar energy is now cheaper than coal or gas in most major economies.
Question:

Question : The value of $6 \frac{8}{15}÷\frac{7}{9}$ of $\left(1 \frac{1}{10}+5 \frac{1}{5}\right)+\frac{2}{5}÷7 \frac{1}{5}$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{25}{16}$

Option 2: $\frac{5}{14}$

Option 3: $\frac{25}{18}$

Option 4: $\frac{5}{18}$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{25}{18}$


Solution : $6 \frac{8}{15}÷\frac{7}{9}$ of $\left(1 \frac{1}{10}+5 \frac{1}{5}\right)+\frac{2}{5}÷7 \frac{1}{5}$
= $\frac{98}{15}÷\frac{7}{9}$ of $\left( \frac{11}{10}+ \frac{26}{5}\right)+\frac{2}{5}÷\frac{36}{5}$
= $\frac{98}{15}÷(\frac{7}{9}\times\frac{63}{10})+\frac{2}{5}÷\frac{36}{5}$
= $\frac{98}{15}×\frac{10}{49}+\frac{2}{5}×\frac{5}{36}$
= $\frac{4}{3}+\frac{1}{18}$
= $\frac{25}{18}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{25}{18}$.
