Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The verb "research" should be replaced with "researched". The reason is that the verb "research" should be in the past participle form "researched" when used with the auxiliary verb "have" to form the present perfect tense.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Many firms fail because when they begin exporting, they have not researched the target markets or have not planned enough.

Option 3: Cell theory

Option 4: Theory of acquired characters

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".

(If) the sky is overcast, I take my umbrella with me.

(1) When

(2) Unless

(3) Whenever

(4) No Improvement

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.

It replaces if with whenever indicating a repeated or habitual action in response to the condition of the overcast sky. This choice provides a clearer sense of the speaker's consistent behaviour.

  • When implies that the condition (the sky being overcast) is a regular occurrence, and the speaker always takes his umbrella in response to it. This might not accurately reflect the original sentence's intention.
  • Unless: This option completely reverses the meaning of the original sentence. It suggests that the speaker takes his umbrella only when the sky is not overcast, which is the opposite of the original meaning.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Whenever the sky is overcast, I take my umbrella with me".

Question : Two taps A and B can fill a tank in 10 hours and 12 hours respectively. If the two taps are opened at 10 AM, at what time (in PM) should tap A be closed to fill the tank at exactly 4 PM?

Option 1: 2:00

Option 2: 3:00

Option 3: 1:00

Option 4: 1:30

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3:00


Solution : Tap A's hourly work = $\frac{1}{10}$
Tap B's hourly work = $\frac{1}{12}$
(Tap A + Tap B)'s hourly work $=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{11}{60}$
Let tap A be closed after $x$ hours.
Then, part filled by (A + B) in $x$ hours + part filled by B in $(6 -x)$ hours $= 1$
⇒ $\frac{11x}{60}+\frac{(6–x)}{12}=1$
⇒ $\frac{11x+30–5x}{60}=1$
⇒ $6x+30=60$
⇒ $6x=30$
$\therefore x=5$
After 5 hours, Tap A should be closed i.e, 10:00 AM + 5 hours = 3:00 PM
Hence, the correct answer is 3:00.

Question : When the Balance Sheet has an item of Provision for Depreciation or Accumulated Depreciation for both years, it means that the fixed assets are shown in the Balance Sheet at their-------------.

Option 1: Written down value

Option 2: Original cost

Option 3: Both A and B

Option 4: None of the above

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Original cost


Solution : Answer = original cost method

If the Balance Sheet has an item of Provision for Depreciation or Accumulated Depreciation, it means that fixed assets are shown in the Balance Sheet at their original cost. This approach, known as the original cost method, reflects the historical acquisition cost of the assets rather than their written-down value.
Hence, the correct option is 2.

Team Careers360 7th Jan, 2024
