In 2014 female population is what percent of the total population?

Option 1: 62.96%

Option 2: 37.03%

Option 3: 20%

Option 4: 31.31%

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 37.03%


Solution : As per the given graph,
In 2014,
The total population of the city = 54000
The female population in the city = 54000 – 34000 = 20000
The required percentage = $\frac{20}{54}$ × 100 = 37.03%
Hence, the correct answer is 37.03%.

Question : The value of $2\tan^2 45° + \cos^2 30° - \sin^2 60°$ is:

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 1

Option 3: –1

Option 4: –2

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $2\tan^2 45^\circ + \cos^2 30^\circ - \sin^2 60^\circ$
Putting the values, we get:
$= 2\times1^2 + (\frac{\sqrt3}{2})^2- (\frac{\sqrt3}{2})^2$
$= 2+ \frac{3}{4}- \frac{3}{4}$
$= 2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : The perimeter of a certain isosceles right triangle is $10+10\sqrt{2}$ cm. What is the length of the Hypotenuse of the triangle?

Option 1: $5$ cm

Option 2: $10$ cm

Option 3: $5\sqrt{2}$ cm

Option 4: $10\sqrt{2}$ cm

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $10$ cm


Solution :
\(\text{Perimeter} = \text{Sum of all sides}\)
Sides of an isosceles right triangle are $a, a, and $\sqrt{2}a$$
So, \(\text{Perimeter} = a+a+\sqrt{2}a \)
\(=10+10\sqrt{2} \)
⇒ \((2a+\sqrt{2}a)=(10+10\sqrt{2}) \)
⇒ \(\sqrt{2}a(1+\sqrt{2})=10(1+\sqrt{2}) \)
⇒ \(a=\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} \)
⇒ BC (Hypotenuse) = \(\sqrt{2}a\)
⇒ \(\frac{\sqrt{2} \times 10}{\sqrt{2}}=10\ \mathrm{cm} \)

Question : A chord of length 120 cm is at a distance of 32 cm from the centre of a circle. What is the radius (in cm) of the circle?

Option 1: 96

Option 2: 34

Option 3: 72

Option 4: 68

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 68


Solution :
A is the Centre of the circle.
Chord BC = 120 cm
AD is perpendicular to BC.
AD = 32 cm
$\therefore$ BD = $\frac{BC}{2}$ = $\frac{120}{2}$ = 60 cm
In $\triangle$ABD,
AD = 32 cm
BD = 60 cm
$\angle$ADB = 90°
So, AB

Question : The least common multiple of 48 and 64 is _____ times the highest common factor of 12 and 18.

Option 1: 28

Option 2: 32

Option 3: 24

Option 4: 16

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 32


Solution : The least common multiple (LCM) of 48 and 64 is 192.
The highest common factor (HCF) of 12 and 18 is 6.
Therefore, the LCM of 48 and 64 is $\frac{192}{ 6}$ = 32 times the HCF of 12 and 18.
Hence, the correct answer

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Throughout history, the intricacies of the human mind have been the subject of fascination and inquiry. From ancient philosophers to modern-day neuroscientists, the workings of the brain have been studied and analysed in an attempt to unravel its mysteries. However, despite centuries of research, much remains unknown about the complexities of human cognition and consciousness.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the human mind is its ability to create and imagine. The human mind has the capacity to conceptualise and bring into being ideas that were previously unknown or unimaginable, from artistic expression to scientific discovery. The process of creativity has captured the attention of scholars and laypeople alike and is both enigmatic and awe-inspiring.
There have been many theories proposed to explain the process of creativity. Some suggest that it is a purely subconscious process, while others argue that creativity is a result of conscious effort and intentional problem-solving. Still others suggest that creativity arises from a combination of conscious and subconscious processes.
Despite the ongoing debate over the nature of creativity, one thing is clear: it is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon. Creativity can manifest in a wide range of human activities, from the creation of art and literature to the development of scientific theories and inventions. It can occur in both individual and collective contexts and can be driven by a variety of factors, such as curiosity, passion, or the desire for recognition.
Creativity also has the potential to bring about positive change in the world. Throughout history, creative individuals and groups have used their talents to address social, political, and environmental challenges, often inspiring others to take action and make a difference. From the abolitionist movement to the civil rights movement to the environmental movement, creativity has played a crucial role in promoting social justice and positive change.
Despite the many benefits of creativity, it is not without its challenges. The process of creative expression can be fraught with obstacles, from self-doubt and insecurity to external pressures and constraints. Moreover, not all creative ideas are successful or well-received, and many artists and innovators face rejection and criticism as they seek to bring their ideas to fruition. Despite these challenges, however, the human drive to create and imagine persists.
Individuals and groups continue to harness the power of creativity to make a difference in the world. From the humblest amateur artist to the most celebrated innovator, the human capacity for creativity remains one of our greatest strengths and sources of inspiration.
