Question : A man rows to a place 48 km distance and comes back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream at the same time as 3 km against the stream. The speed of the stream is:

Option 1: 1.5 km/h

Option 2: 3.5 km/h

Option 3: 1.8 km/h

Option 4: 1 km/h

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1 km/h


Solution : Suppose he moves 4 km downstream in $x$ hours.
⇒ Speed downstream =$\frac{4}{x}$ km/hr
And, speed upstream =$\frac{3}{x}$ km/hr
According to the question,
$\frac{48}{\frac{4}{x}}+\frac{48}{\frac{3}{x}}=14$
⇒ $\frac{48x}{4}+\frac{48x}{3}=14$
⇒ $\frac{144x+192x}{12}=14$
⇒ $336x=168$
⇒ $x=\frac{168}{336}=\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ Speed downstream = 8 km/hr
And, speed upstream = 6 km/hr.

Question : If $x$ = ${\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}}$, then the value of $(x^{2}+2x–1)$ is:

Option 1: $\sqrt[2]{2}$

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 0

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given:
$x= {\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}}$
Rationalising the denominator, we get,
⇒ $x ={\frac{{\sqrt{2}-1}}{(\sqrt{2}+1)×{(\sqrt{2}-1)}}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{2-1} = {\sqrt{2}-1}$
Putting this value in the expression $(x^{2}+2x-1)$, we get,
$=[(\sqrt{2}-1)^{2}+2(\sqrt{2}-1)-1]$
$=2-2\sqrt{2}+1+2\sqrt{2}-2-1 $
$= 0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.

Question : ABC is an isosceles right-angled triangle with $\angle$B = 90°. On the sides AC and AB, two equilateral triangles ACD and ABE have been constructed. The ratio of the area of $\triangle$ABE and $\triangle$ACD is:

Option 1: $1 : 3$

Option 2: $2 : 3$

Option 3: $1 : 2$

Option 4: $1 : \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1 : 2$


Solution :
Given:
$\angle$ABC = 90°, AB = BC
In $\triangle$ABC, AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = AB2 + AB2 = 2AB2
Since, $\triangle$ACD $\sim$ $\triangle$ABE,
$\frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of} \triangle ACD}=\frac{AB^2}{AC^2}$
⇒ $\frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of}

Question : If $6 \cot \theta=5$, then find the value of $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos\theta-4 \sin\theta)}$

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6


Solution : $6 \cot \theta = 5$
⇒ $\cot \theta = \frac{5}{6}$
Now, $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos \theta-4\sin \theta)}$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\sin \theta$ in the above expression
⇒ $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos \theta-4\sin \theta)}=\frac{(6\cot \theta + 1)}{(6\cot \theta-4)}$
$=\frac{6 \times \frac{5}{6} +

Question : What is the value of $\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} \div \frac{\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{14}–\sqrt{10}}+\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}$?

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

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

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

Option 4: $2 \sqrt{2}+1$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{2}+1$


Solution : Given: The expression is $\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} \div \frac{\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{14}–\sqrt{10}}+\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}$.
Take $\sqrt2$ common in the term $\frac{\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{14}–\sqrt{10}}$, we get,
$\frac{\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{14}–\sqrt{10}}=\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}\times\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}}=\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}}$
The expression can be written as $\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} \div\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} +\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}$
= $\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} \times\frac{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}} +\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}$
= $1+\sqrt2$
= ${\sqrt{2}}+1$
Hence, the correct answer is ${\sqrt{2}}+1$.
