Mathematics
Question : Study the following table and answer the question that follows. A school has four sections A, B, C, and D of Class IX students. The results of the Science and Mathematics examinations are shown in the following table.
Section A
What is the ratio of the number of students who failed in Science but passed in Mathematics of section B and section D together to the number of students of section A that passed in both subjects?
Option 1: 9 : 17
Option 2: 3 : 7
Option 3: 4 : 9
Option 4: 5 : 11
Correct Answer: 3 : 7
Solution : Number of students who failed in Science but passed in Mathematics of section B and section D together = 12 + 15 = 27 Number of students in section A passed in both subjects = 63 Ratio = 27 : 63 = 3 : 7 Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 7.
Question : Directions: Five books of History, Mathematics, English, Hindi, and Science are kept on top of each other. English is kept between History and Mathematics. Hindi and Science are kept together. Science is kept above Mathematics. Which book is kept in the middle?
Option 1: Mathematics
Option 2: English
Option 3: Science
Option 4: Mathematics or English
Correct Answer: Mathematics
Solution : Given: English is kept between History and Mathematics.
Science is kept above Mathematics. Hindi and Science are kept together.
So, the order becomes →
Mathematics is kept in the middle. Hence, the first option is correct.
Hi aspirant,
MBA entrance exams, like CAT and XAT, have a quantitative section that can be challenging for those weak in maths. Other entrance exams like SNAP, NMAT, etc., are slightly easier and are a good option for those weak in math.
I would suggest you practice quant every day and give more time to your weaknesses. You can definitely pursue an MBA and even score well on the management entrance exams if you are dedicated and hardworking. Both smart work and hard work are the keys to success.
All the best!
Question : Directions: Select the option that represents the correct order of the given words as they would appear in an English dictionary. 1. Profess 2. Product 3. Prosecute 4. Precaution 5. Proctor
Option 1: 2, 5, 4, 1, 3
Option 2: 3, 5, 2, 1, 4
Option 3: 4, 5, 2, 3, 1
Option 4: 4, 5, 2, 1, 3
Correct Answer: 4, 5, 2, 1, 3
Solution : Given: 1. Profess 2. Product 3. Prosecute 4. Precaution 5. Proctor
Step 1: Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter P, and are followed by r then move on to the third letter. Step 2: The third letter of each word is either e or o. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Precaution, Profess, Product, Prosecute, Proctor Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of (Profess, Product, Prosecute, Proctor). Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Proctor, Product, Profess, Prosecute.
So, the sequence is Precaution, Proctor, Product, Profess, Prosecute, or 4, 5, 2, 1, 3. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Directions: Six books Hindi, Biology, Mathematics, Economics, Physics, and Chemistry are placed in two racks facing each other with three books in each rack. Hindi and Chemistry are in the same rack but are not neighbours. Biology is placed exactly opposite to Economics. Biology is just left of Hindi facing the South direction. Physics is exactly opposite to Chemistry. Which of the following is placed exactly opposite to Hindi?
Option 1: Chemistry
Option 2: Economics
Option 3: Biology
Option 4: Mathematics
Solution : 1. Biology is just left of Hindi facing the South direction. Hindi and Chemistry are in the same rack but are not neighbours. 2. Biology is placed exactly opposite to Economics. Physics is exactly opposite to Chemistry.
So, Mathematics is the opposite of Hindi. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Who among the following persons of Indian origin was in the news in December 2021 for solving the Kadison-Singer 1959 problem in the field of mathematics?
Option 1: Nikhil Srivastava
Option 2: Nikhil Sachdev
Option 3: Satya Nadella
Option 4: Pratap Bhanu Mehta
Correct Answer: Nikhil Srivastava
Solution : The correct answer is Nikhil Srivastava.
Indian-American mathematician Nikhil Srivastava and the two other awardees are Adam Marcus and Daniel Spielman. The award recognises their highly original work that introduced and developed methods for understanding the characteristics of polynomial matrices.
Question : Study the given table and answer the question that follows. Marks obtained (out of 100) by four students P, Q, R, and S in four subjects in an examination are given in the table.
Which student has scored the marks in the ratio of 10 : 13 in Physics and Mathematics?
Option 1: S
Option 2: Q
Option 3: P
Option 4: R
Correct Answer: S
Solution : The ratio of marks in Physics and Mathematics of P = 70 : 80 = 7 : 8 The ratio of marks in Physics and Mathematics of Q = 50 : 56 = 25 : 28 The ratio of marks in Physics and Mathematics of R = 40 : 45 = 8 : 9 The ratio of marks in Physics and Mathematics of S = 60 : 78 = 10 : 13 Hence, the correct answer is S.
Hello,
MBA is a comprehensive course which is pursued by a lot of candidates each year. All top B schools such as the old IIMs, MDI Gurgaon, SP Jain, FMS, XLRI are some of the colleges where ITC Companies recruit every year. Most companies have a select number of B Schools where they are regular recruiters and some B schools where they go occasionally.
Hence, if you want to opt for a college where ITC recruits then you'll need to work hard and crack top colleges.
I hope this helps,
Thank you
Question :
Directions: In the following question, select the related word from the given alternatives. Mathematics : Logic :: Science : ?
Option 1: Experiments
Option 2: Laboratory
Option 3: Scientists
Option 4: Facts
Correct Answer: Experiments
Solution : Given: Mathematics : Logic :: Science : ?
Like, mathematics is a subject that needs logic for each question and theorem to be proved. Similarly, science is a subject that needs experiments to be proved for any conclusion.
Hence, the first option is correct.
