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."

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.
