The number of people smoking cigarettes is: 

Option 1: 53905

Option 2: 59305

Option 3: 59530

Option 4: 11906

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 59530


Solution : The total number of people = 119060
Degree subtended by the number of people smoking cigarettes = 180$^\circ$
Number of people smoking cigarettes = $\frac{180^\circ}{360^\circ}\times 119060$ = 59530
Hence, the correct answer is 59,530.

Ambati Rayudu 12 334 1 278 30.36 120.14 28 12

Approximately by what percentage strike rate of Rahane is greater/lower than the strike rate of Kock?

Option 1: 12% greater

Option 2: 12% lower

Option 3: 10% greater

Option 4: 10% lower

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12% lower


Solution : Rahane's strike rate = $\frac{\text{Runs}}{\text{Ball faced}}\times100$
= $\frac{461}{364}\times100 = 127$
Kock strike rate = $\frac{\text{Runs}}{\text{Ball faced}}\times100$
= $\frac{385}{266}\times100 = 145$
$\therefore$ Rahane's strike rate is lower than Kock's.
Required percentage = $\frac{145-127}{145}\times100$
= $\frac{18}{145}\times100$
= 12%
Hence, the correct answer is 12% lower.

Question : $\frac{1}{3-\sqrt{8}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{7}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{6}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{5}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}-2}=?$

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5


Solution : $\frac{1}{3-\sqrt{8}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{7}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{6}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{5}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}-2}$
Rationalise the denominators,
$=(\frac{\sqrt{8}+3}{1})-(\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{8}}{1})+(\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{7}}{1})-(\frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}}{1})+(\frac{2+\sqrt{5}}{1}$)
$=\sqrt{8}+3-\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{5}+2$
$=3+2$
$= 5$
Hence, the correct answer is 5.

Question : How much percentage should a racer increase speed to reduce the time by 20% to cover a fixed distance?

Option 1: 25%

Option 2: 30%

Option 3: 40%

Option 4: 35%

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25%


Solution : We know,
$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{{\text{Time}}}$
$\text{Speed}\propto\frac{\text{1}}{{\text{Time}}}$
If the distance remains constant, then speed is inversely proportional to time.
If the time is reduced by 20%, the new time is 80% (or 0.8 times) of the original time.
Since speed is inversely proportional to time, the new speed
