Question : Equal sum of money are lent to X and Y at 7.5% per annum for 4 years and 5 years respectively. If the difference in interest, paid by them was Rs. 150, the sum lent to each was:

Option 1: Rs. 500

Option 2: Rs. 1000

Option 3: Rs. 2000

Option 4: Rs. 3000

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 2000


Solution : Let the sum be $\text{P}$ for both cases.
Time = 5 years and 4 years.
Difference = 150
According to the question:
By using the formula of Simple Interest: SI = $\frac{\text{P×R×T}}{100}$ where $P$ is principal, $T$ is time in years and $R$ is the rate of interest per annum.
$\frac{\text{P×7.5×5}}{100}-\frac{\text{P×7.5×4}}{100}$ = 150
⇒ $\frac{\text{7.5P}}{100}$ = 150
⇒ $\text{P}$ = Rs. 2000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2000.

Question : Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

Where have those important documents been hidden by you?

Option 1: Where do you hide those important documents?

Option 2: Where did you hide those important documents?

Option 3: Where have you hidden those important documents?

Option 4: Where are you hiding those important documents?

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Where have you hidden those important documents?


Solution : The third option is correct.

The active voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject performs the action. It's a more direct and straightforward way of expressing ideas. In an active sentence, the subject is the doer of the action, and the object is the receiver of the action.

The structure of the sentence in active voice in an interrogative sentence is: "Wh word + have + subject + past participle form of the verb + object?"

Therefore, the correct answer is: "Where have you hidden those important documents?"

Question : In $\triangle PQR, PQ=QR$ and $O$ is an interior point of $\triangle PQR$ such that $\angle OPR=\angle ORP$.
Consider the following statements:
(i) $\triangle POR$ is an isosceles triangle.
(ii) $O$ is the centroid of $\triangle PQR$.
(iii) $\triangle PQO$ is congruent to $\triangle RQO$.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Option 1: Only (i) and (ii)

Option 2: Only (i) and (iii)

Option 3: Only (ii) and (iii)

Option 4: Only (ii)

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only (i) and (iii)


Solution :
Given: In $\triangle PQR, PQ=QR$ and $O$ is an interior point of $\triangle PQR$ such that $\angle OPR=\angle ORP$.
Since $PQ = QR$, so $\triangle PQR$ is an isosceles triangle.
From the given data we cannot say that $O$ is the centroid of the $\triangle PQR$.
Also, $PQ=QR, OP=OR$ and $OQ=OQ$
So, $\triangle PQO$ and $\triangle RQO$ are congruent.
Hence, the correct answer is Only (i) and (iii).

Question : Direction: Study the following bar diagram carefully and answer the question. The bar graph given below shows the foreign exchange reserves of a country (in million US dollars) from 1991– 1992 to 1998– 1999.

The percentage increase in the foreign exchange reserves in 1997– 98 over 1993– 94 is:

Option 1: 100%

Option 2: 150%

Option 3: 200%

Option 4: 120%

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 100%


Solution : The foreign exchange reserves in 1997–1998 were $5040$ million, as seen in the bar graph.
2520 million was the amount of foreign exchange reserves in 1993–94.
Change in the number of reserves = $5040 - 2520= 2520$
Percentage increase = $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{The foreign exchange reserves in 1993–1994}} \times 100$.
= $\frac{2520}{2520}\times 100=100$%
Hence, the correct answer is 100%.

Question : Directions: If the 20th of March 2001 is Tuesday, then what will be the day of the week on the 23rd of April 2021?

Option 1: Friday

Option 2: Tuesday

Option 3: Monday

Option 4: Wednesday

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Friday


Solution : Given:
The 20th of March 2001 is Tuesday.

Number of days from 21st of March 2001 to 20th of March 2021 –
365 × 20 = 7300; add 5 days for leap years (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020) = 7300 + 5 = 7305
Number of days from 21st of March 2021 to 23rd of April 2021 –
March = 11; April = 23
Total number of days: 7305 + 11 + 23 = 7339
The remainder after dividing 7339 by 7 is 3. 
Tuesday + 3 days = Friday

So, the 23rd of April 2021 will be Friday. Hence, the first option is correct.

Option 2: 9 : 1

Option 3: 13 : 9

Option 4: 9 : 13

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Total number of toys sold by shops C, D, and E in the second week = 20 + 60 + 50 = 130
Ratio = 90 : 130 = 9 : 13
Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 13.
