Versant English Test
Q1. A can do a piece of work in 10 days and B can do it in 15 days. In how many days will they finish the work together?
Explanation:
A's rate = 1/10, B's rate = 1/15. Combined = 1/10 + 1/15 = 3/30 + 2/30 = 5/30 = 1/6. So they finish in 6 days.
Q2. If the selling price of 12 articles equals the cost price of 16 articles, what is the profit percentage?
Explanation:
SP of 12 = CP of 16. Let CP of each = 1. CP of 12 = 12, SP of 12 = 16. Profit = 4. Profit% = (4/12) Ć 100 = 33.33%.
Q3. The simple interest on ā¹5000 at 8% per annum for 3 years is:
Explanation:
SI = (P Ć R Ć T)/100 = (5000 Ć 8 Ć 3)/100 = 120000/100 = ā¹1200.
Q4. A train 150m long passes a pole in 15 seconds. How long will it take to pass a platform 300m long?
Explanation:
Speed = 150/15 = 10 m/s. Distance to cover = 150 + 300 = 450m. Time = 450/10 = 45 seconds.
Q5. What is 35% of 80% of 500?
Explanation:
80% of 500 = 400. 35% of 400 = 140.
Coding Assessment
Q1. What is the output of this Python code? arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] print(arr[-2])
Explanation:
arr[-2] accesses the second element from the end. In [1,2,3,4,5], that is index 3 which has value 4.
Q2. What does this code return? def f(n): return n if n <= 1 else f(n-1) + f(n-2) f(5)
Explanation:
This is a Fibonacci function. f(0)=0,f(1)=1,f(2)=1,f(3)=2,f(4)=3,f(5)=5.
Q3. What is the space complexity of an algorithm that uses a single variable regardless of input size?
Explanation:
O(1) or constant space complexity means memory usage does not grow with input size. A single variable takes constant space.
Q4. Which sorting algorithm has the best average-case time complexity?
Explanation:
Merge Sort has O(n log n) average and worst case. Bubble, Insertion, and Selection sort are O(nĀ²) on average.
Q5. What is printed? for i in range(1, 6): if i == 3: continue print(i, end=' ')
Explanation:
The continue statement skips the rest of the loop body when i==3. So 3 is not printed. Output: 1 2 4 5.
