Quantitative Aptitude
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) × 100 = 33.33%.
Q3. The simple interest on ₹5000 at 8% per annum for 3 years is:
Explanation:
SI = (P × R × T)/100 = (5000 × 8 × 3)/100 = 120000/100 = ₹1200.
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.
Logical Reasoning
Q1. In a family of 6: A is the father of B. C is the mother of D. B is married to C. E is the son of B. How is A related to E?
Explanation:
A is father of B. B is father of E (B is married to C and E is son of B). Therefore A is grandfather of E.
Q2. Find the next number in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ___
Explanation:
Differences: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. Pattern: differences increase by 2. Next difference = 12. 30 + 12 = 42.
Q3. If CHAIR is coded as DIBJS, how is TABLE coded?
Explanation:
Each letter is shifted forward by 1: T→U, A→B, B→C, L→M, E→F. So TABLE = UBCMF.
Q4. All roses are flowers. Some flowers fade quickly. Which conclusion follows? I. Some roses fade quickly. II. All flowers are roses.
Explanation:
We cannot conclude I (the 'some flowers' that fade may not be roses). II is clearly false as 'all roses are flowers' does not mean all flowers are roses.
Q5. Pointing to a woman, Ram said 'She is the daughter of the only sister of my father.' How is the woman related to Ram?
Explanation:
Father's only sister = Ram's aunt. Aunt's daughter = Ram's cousin. The woman is Ram's cousin.
