Question : If p : q = 4 : 5, q : r = 3 : 4 and r : s = 2 : 5, then p : s is:

Option 1: 2 : 5

Option 2: 6 : 25

Option 3: 5 : 2

Option 4:  25 : 6

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6 : 25


Solution : Here, we have,
$\frac{p}{q} =\frac{4}{5}, \frac{q}{r} =\frac{3}{4}, \frac{r}{s} = \frac{2}{5}$
Now first, take 
$\frac{p}{q} =\frac{4}{5}$ and $\frac{q}{r} =\frac{3}{4}$
As q is common in both. So, it should be equal for both 
Multiply $\frac{p}{q}$ by 3 and $\frac{q}{r}$ by 5
$So,\frac{p}{q} =\frac{4×3}{5×3}$ and $\frac{q}{r}=\frac{3×5}{4×5}$

Question : Directions: Select the option related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term.
$\left[\frac{1}{97}\right]:\left[\frac{1}{63}\right]::\left[\frac{1}{114}\right] :?:: \left[\frac{1}{89}\right]:\left[\frac{1}{55}\right]$

Option 1: $\left[\frac{1}{80}\right]$

Option 2: $\left[\frac{1}{77}\right]$

Option 3: $\left[\frac{1}{86}\right]$

Option 4: $\left[\frac{1}{83}\right]$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\left[\frac{1}{80}\right]$


Solution : Given:
$\left[\frac{1}{97}\right]:\left[\frac{1}{63}\right]::\left[\frac{1}{114}\right] :?:: \left[\frac{1}{89}\right]:\left[\frac{1}{55}\right]$

Subtract 34 from the denominator of the first number, to obtain the second number –
Like, $\left[\frac{1}{97}\right]:\left[\frac{1}{63}\right]$→$\left[\frac{1}{97-34}\right] = \left[\frac{1}{63}\right]$
And, $\left[\frac{1}{89}\right]:\left[\frac{1}{55}\right]$ → $\left[\frac{1}{89-34}\right]=\left[\frac{1}{55}\right]$
Similarly, follow the same pattern for $\left[\frac{1}{114}\right]$ –
⇒ $\left[\frac{1}{114-34}\right]=\left[\frac{1}{80}\right]$

So, $\left[\frac{1}{80}\right]$ is the required number in the

Question : The following pie chart shows the distribution of income from different taxes. Study the chart and answer the question.

If the income from the market tax in a year is INR 260 crores, then the total income from other sources is: (in crores)

Option 1: 540

Option 2: 560

Option 3: 740

Option 4: 760

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 740


Solution : Market tax = 26%
The income from the market tax in a year = INR 260 crores
So, 26% is equivalent to INR 260 crores.
⇒ (100 – 26) = 74% is equivalent to $\frac{260×74}{26}$ = 740 crores
Hence, the correct answer is 740.

Question : On a certain sum, the Simple Interest at the end of $6\frac{1}{4}$ years becomes $\frac{3}{8}$th of the sum. The Rate of interest is:

Option 1: 5%

Option 2: 6%

Option 3: 7%

Option 4: 8%

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6%


Solution : Given: Time = $6\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{25}{4}$ years
Simple Interest = $\frac{3}{8}\text{P}$
According to the question
SI = $\frac{\text{P×R×T}}{100}$, where $P$ is principal, $T$ is time in years and $R$ is the rate of interest per annum.
⇒ $\frac{3}{8}\text{P}$ = $\frac{\text{P×R×25}}{100×4}$ 
⇒ $\text{R}$ = 6%
Hence,

Question : In the given figure, BD passes through centre O, AB = 12 and AC = 8. What is the radius of the circle?

Option 1: $3\sqrt{2}$

Option 2: $4\sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $3\sqrt{5}$

Option 4: $3\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3\sqrt{5}$


Solution :
Given: AB = 12 and AC = 8
Let CD = $a$.
We know that,
$AC×AD = AB^2$
⇒ $8×(8+a) = 12^2$
⇒ $64+8a = 144$
⇒ $8a = 80$
$\therefore a = 10$
So, CD = 10
Now, in $\triangle ABD, \angle B =
