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.

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:
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way social media has changed the way we communicate?

Option 1: Quick, abbreviated messages with emojis and acronyms.

Option 2: Video conferencing for more meaningful conversations.

Option 3: Connecting with people from all over the world.

Option 4: The use of hashtags.

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Video conferencing for more meaningful conversations.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: In the passage, the mention of changes in communication on social media focuses on the shift from long, thoughtful emails to quick, abbreviated messages with emojis and acronyms, as well as the use of hashtags. However, there is no reference to video conferencing for more meaningful conversations.

Therefore, the right answer is: "Video conferencing for more meaningful conversations."

The cat climbed a tree and perched itself on a branch.

Option 1: parched

Option 2: No substitution required

Option 3: perked

Option 4: perished

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: No substitution required


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The sentence uses the correct past tense form of the verb to report an event that occurred in the past. It is grammatically correct and effectively conveys the action of the cat climbing a tree and positioning itself on a branch.

Therefore, the sentence requires no improvement.

Question : Directions: If C = 3, and CAT = 24, then what is the code for FAULT?

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 57

Option 3: 64

Option 4: 72

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60


Solution : Given:
C = 3, CAT = 24

Like, the place value of the letter C; C→3
Thus, C is coded as 3.
Place values of the letters of CAT; C→3; A→1; T→20
CAT→3 + 1 + 20 = 24
Thus, CAT is coded as 24.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for FAULT –
Place values of the letters of FAULT; F→6; A→1; U→21; L→12; T→20
FAULT→6 + 1 + 21 + 12 + 20 = 60

So, FAULT is coded as 60. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: In the following question, one or two statements are given followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any follows from the given statements.
Statements:
Some monkeys are dogs.
All dogs are cats.
Conclusions:
I. Some monkeys are cats.
II. No dog is a cat.

Option 1: Only conclusion I follows

Option 2: Only conclusion II follows

Option 3: Either Conclusion I or Conclusion II follows

Option 4: Neither conclusion I nor II conclusion II follows

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some monkeys are cats – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing monkeys and cats overlap each other and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some monkeys are cats. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): No dog is a cat – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing dogs completely lies inside the circle representing cats. So, from this, it can be concluded that all dogs are cats. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

So, only the conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
