Question : Directions: If A = 1, CAT = 60, then how will MAN be coded as?

Option 1: 27

Option 2: 90

Option 3: 180

Option 4: 182

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 182


Solution : Given:
A = 1; CAT = 60

Multiply the place value of the letters to get the required code –
Like, the place value of the letter A; A→1
Thus, A is coded as 1.
Place values of the letters of CAT; C→3; A→1; T→20
CAT→3 × 1 × 20 = 60
Thus, CAT is coded as 60.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for MAN; M→13; A→1; N→14
MAN→13 × 1 × 14 = 182

Thus, MAN is coded as 182. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The world of social media is a strange and wondrous place. It's a world where you can connect with people from all over the globe, share your thoughts and opinions, and maybe even go viral if you're lucky. But let's be real, it's also a world filled with endless cat videos, oversharing, and drama.
One of the most interesting things about social media is the way it's changed the way we communicate. We've gone from long, thoughtful emails to quick, abbreviated messages with emojis and acronyms. And don't even get me started on the whole hashtag phenomenon. It's like we're all speaking a different language now.
But there are also some downsides to this constant connection. It's easy to get sucked into the world of social media and forget about the real world around us. We're so busy scrolling through our feeds that we forget to enjoy the little moments in life. And let's not forget about the pressure to present the perfect life online. It's like we're all in a competition to see who can be the most popular, the most successful, the most enviable.
Despite all of this, I have to admit, I'm still a fan of social media. It's a great way to stay connected with friends and family, and I've even made some new friends through various online communities. Plus, let's face it, sometimes you just need a good laugh at a ridiculous meme.
Question:
What is one of the downsides of social media mentioned in the passage?

Option 1: It can help connect with people all over the globe.

Option 2: It's a great way to stay connected with friends and family.

Option 3: It encourages people to enjoy the little moments in life.

Option 4: It can lead to pressure to present a perfect life online.

Correct Answer: It can lead to pressure to present a perfect life online.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: In the passage, it's mentioned that social media can create pressure to showcase an idealised version of one's life. This leads to a feeling of competition where users may feel compelled to appear more popular, successful, or enviable than others.

Therefore, the right answer is: "It can lead to pressure to present a perfect life online."

Question : Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. That's because tigers are the largest of all cat species. They grow up to eleven feet long and weigh as much as 670lbs. This makes tigers the third largest land carnivore. The only larger land carnivores are polar bears and brown bears respectively. Tigers are not only large, but they are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. This makes for an extremely dangerous pounce. You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. The tiger is an endangered species.

Despite all of the tiger's strengths, the future of the species is uncertain. Tigers face a very high risk of extinction. It is estimated that at the start of the 20th century, there were over 100,000 tigers living in the wild. By the turn of the century, the number of tigers outside of captivity dwindled to just over 3,000. Interestingly, the most serious threats that tigers face come from a much smaller species, one with an average weight of around 140lbs That species is Homo sapiens, better known as humans. Humans threaten tigers in primarily two ways: hunting and destroying habitat.
Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, tiger pelts are worth around 10,000 on the black-market. Though the fur would be incentive enough for most poachers, other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny. Some people in China and other Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties. Traditional Chinese medicine calls for the use of tiger bones, amongst other parts, in some prescriptions.

Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.

After he let the cat out of the bag about the surprise party, it was no longer a secret.

Option 1: murmur in the ears

Option 2: reveal confidential information

Option 3: show off to his friends

Option 4: take the gifts and brag

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: reveal confidential information


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

"Letting the cat out of the bag" means revealing a secret or disclosing confidential information. The second option, "reveal confidential information", accurately represents the action described in the original sentence. The other options do not convey the specific idea of unintentionally disclosing a secret.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Murmur in the ears: This suggests a quieter or more secretive action.
  • Show off to his friends: This suggests a more deliberate action of displaying or boasting.
  • Take the gifts and brag: This suggests a different action related to accepting gifts and bragging.

Question : Directions: Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
All dogs are cats.
No cat is a rat.
Conclusions:
I. Some rats are cats.
II. Some dogs are rats.

Option 1: Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Option 2: Only conclusion I follows

Option 3: Both conclusions I and II follow

Option 4: Only conclusion II follows

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some rats are cats – From the above diagram, it is clear that there is a negative relation between rats and cats. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II): Some dogs are rats – From the above diagram, it is clear that no cats are rats, and the circle of dogs is completely inside the circle of cats. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
