Question : A speaks the truth 5 out of 7 times and B speaks the truth 8 out of 9 times. What is the probability that they contradict each other in stating the same fact?

Option 1: $\frac{1}{7}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{9}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{4}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{3}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$


Solution : Probability of A speaking truth = $\frac{5}{7}$ = P(A)
⇒ Probability of A lying = $1-\frac{5}{7}$ = $\frac{2}{7}$ = P(A')
Probability of B speaking truth = $\frac{8}{9}$ = P(B)
⇒ Probability of B lying = $1-\frac{8}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{9}$ = P(B')
$\therefore$ Required probability
= P(A)

It's a challenge, as you yourself said, and men find it hard to turn________challenges.

Option 1: up

Option 2: below

Option 3: down

Question : Upon selling an article at $\frac{3}{7}$ of the marked price, a loss of 30% is incurred. What is the ratio between the marked price and the cost price of the article?

Option 1: 48 : 60

Option 2: 49 : 30

Option 3: 25 : 37

Option 4: 50 : 80

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 49 : 30


Solution : Let the cost price be Rs. 100
Selling price when sold at 30% loss = Rs. 70
Selling price = $\frac{3}{7}$ of Marked price
⇒ Marked price = $\frac{7}{3}$ of Selling price = 70 × ($\frac{7}{3})$ = $\frac{490}{3}$
Required ratio = $\frac{\frac{490}{3}}{100}=49:30$
Hence,

Question : If $\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{1+\sin \theta}=4,0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, then what is the value of $(\sec \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta) ?$

Option 1: $1+2 \sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{1+2 \sqrt{3}}{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Option 4: $2+\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2+\sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given,
$\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{1+\sin \theta}=4$
⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta(1+\sin\theta)+\cos\theta(1-\sin\theta)}{(1+\sin\theta)(1-\sin\theta)}=4$
⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta+\sin\theta\cos\theta+\cos\theta-\sin\theta\cos\theta}{(1+\sin\theta)(1-\sin\theta)}=4$
⇒ $\frac{2\cos\theta}{1-\sin^2\theta}=4$ [As $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$]
⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta}=2$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\theta=60°$
Now, $\sec \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=\sec60°+\operatorname{cosec}60°+\cot60°$
$=2+\frac{2}{\sqrt3}+\frac1{\sqrt3}$
$=\frac{2\sqrt3+2+1}{\sqrt3}$
$=\frac{2\sqrt3+3}{\sqrt3}$
$=2+\sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $2+\sqrt3$.

Question : a and b are two sides adjacent to the right angle of a right-angled triangle and p is the perpendicular drawn to the hypotenuse from the opposite vertex. Then p2 is equal to:

Option 1: $a^{2}+b^{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{a^{2}}+\frac{1}{b^{2}}$

Option 3: $\frac{a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$

Option 4: $a^{2}-b^{2}$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$


Solution :
In triangle ABC,
The hypotenuse of the triangle,
$AC=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$
The area of triangle ABC,
$\frac{1}{2}\times AB \times BC=\frac{1}{2}\times AC\times BD$
$⇒\frac{1}{2}ab=\frac{1}{2}p\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$
$⇒ab=p\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$ 
Squaring both sides,
$⇒a^2b^2=p^2(a^2+b^2)$
$⇒p^2=\frac{a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$.

Option 3: 7 : 4

Option 4: 9 : 4

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14 : 3


Solution : Given: A canister holds 36 litres of a mixture of milk and water in a ratio of 3 : 1.
Quantity of milk = $\frac{3}{4} × 36 = 27$
Quantity of water = $\frac{1}{4} × 36 = 9$
After adding 15 litres of
