Quantitative Aptitude

1. Solution: (a), Sachin reached the spot at 10:30 hrs

Laxman was there before 20 mins his arrival time would be 10:10 hrs

But Rahul was late by 15 mins to Laxman

So, Rahul’s arrival time is 10:25 hrs.

Rahul is late by half an hour to scheduled time the meeting time

⇒ 10:25 – 30 mins = 9:55 hrs

2. Solution: (b),

Let the list price be Rs x

∴ C.P = Rs (x - 10% of x)

= Rs 0.9x

S.P = Rs ( x + 20% of x )

= Rs 1.2x

∴ Profit% = [(1.2x – 0.9)/0.9x]x 100

= 331

3%

3. Solution: (b),

21% of x = 54

X = 54 x 100 / 21

35% of x = (35 x 54 x 100) / (21 x 100) = 90

4. Solution: (c),

x-1/x = 3

(x-1/x)2= 32 ⇒ x2+2

1

x = 9+2⇒ x2+1/x2 = 11

⇒ (x2+1/x2)2= 112 ⇒ x4+1/x4 = 121-2=119

5. Solution: (a),

X3+y3+ z3-3xyz=(x+y+z)(x2+y2+z2–xy–yz-zx)

=(x+y+z)((x+y+z)2-3xy-3yz-3zx)

= 11(112 – 3(32))

= 11(121 – 96) = 275

6. Solution: (c),

2x/(x-4) + (2x – 5)/(x – 3) = 25/3

13x2 – 118x + 240 = 0

A = 13, b = -118, c = 240

Using the formula

2-b± b - 4ac

2a we get,

X = 6, 3 1/3

7. Solution: (a),

Vol. of spirit = 32x6/8 = 24 litres

Volume of water = 32 – 26 = 8 litres

In the new mixture amount of water = 8+4 =12

∴ The ratio of spirit to water is 24 litres : 12

= 2 : 1

8. Solution: (d),

BC = 2 2

(12 + 5 ) = 169 = 13

132 = AB2 + AC2 = 2AB2

AB = 13/ 2

9. Solution: (c),

M = 45

Also M+4+S+4 = 68

⇒M+S = 55

Or 4S + S = 55 (using M = 4S)

5S = 55

S = 11 years

10. Solution: (b),

The answer is b.

11. Solution: (c),

In an A.P nth term , tn = a+(n-1)d ∴7th term ⇒ a + 6d = 17

∴18th term ⇒ a + 17d = 39

Solving the two equation, we get a = 5 and d=2

Now, 15th term, tn = 5 + 14(2) = 33

12. Solution: (b),

Radius = 21 cm Circumference of the circle = π2 r

= 2 x 22/7 x 2 = 132 cm

Circumference of the circle = Perimeter of the square = 132 cm = 4a ⇒ a = 33 cm

Area of circle: Area of the square

= π2r : a2 = 22/7 x 21 : 33 x 33

= 66 x 21 : 33 x 33

= 14 : 11

13. Solution: (c),

Probability of getting an odd no.

= 3/6 = 1/2

Probability of ‘failure’ = ½

∴ Probability of 6 successes

= 8c6(1/2)6(1/2)1

= 7/32

14. Solution: (a),

Diameter of circle = Diagonal of square

∴ 2 a = 20 ⇒ a = 20 2 = 10 2 cm

15. Solution: (a),

Relative speed = (30-12) = 18 kmph

= 18x5/18 = 5 m/sec

Let x meter be the length of second train

The (100+x)/5 = 90

(100+x)/5 = 90

100+x = 90*5

= 450

∴ x = 350m

16. Solution: (b),

Area of regular hexagon = 3a2 3 / 2

= 3(6) 3 / 2

= 54 3

= 93.33 cm2

17. Solution: (b),

Let S.P be Rs x

C.P paid by hema = Rs 7/10x

S.P received by hema= 105% of x

Gain = Rs (21/20x – 7/10x) = Rs 7/20x

Gain% = 7x/20 x 10/7x x 100

= 50% gain

18. Solution: (a),

Let the distance between Hyd. To Vijayavada be x km

Avg. speed of 1 train = x/4 km/hr

Avg. speed of II train = 2x7 km/hr

Let us suppose they meet y hrs after 8 am then

Xy + 2x(y-z) = x

4 7

15y = 44 or y = 44/15 = 2 hrs 56 min

So the train meet at 10 : 56 am

Let length, breadth and height of the cuboid be x, 2x and 3x res.

Volume V1 = 6x3

After inceasing the l, b and h becomes 1.5x, 4x and 7.5x resp.

New volume V2 = 45x3

Increase in volume = 45x3 – 6x3 = 93x3

= 6.5 x V1

Hence increase is about 6.5 times

20. Solution: (a),

Area of equilateral triangle = 3 / 4 a2

Where ‘a’ is the side

Hence a2 = 64 ⇒ a = 8 units

Altitude of equilateral triangle = 3 / 4 a

= 3 / 4 8 = 4 3 units

21. Solution: (d),

Length of the carpet = 700/3.5 = 200m

Breadth of the carpet = 2.5 m

Area of the carpet = 200 x 2.5

= 500 sq.m

Length of the floor = 20 m

Hence Breadth of the floor = 500/20 = 25 m

22. Solution: (c),

Let Ravi get Rs 100

Then Sridhar gets Rs 100 + 10% = Rs 110

Shekhar gets Rs 110 + 25% = Rs 110 + 27

= Rs 137

Ravi’s share in Rs 867.5 = 100 x 867.5 /347

= Rs 250

23. Solution: (c),

N0. Of ways of drawing 2 cards out of 52

= 52C2 = 52 x 51 = 1326

2 x 1

No. of ways of drawing 2 cards out of 4

= 4C2 = (4 x 3)/2 = 6

WWW.UGTRACKER.COM

Page 22

24. Solution: (a),

S.P = Rs 220

Loss – 12%

∴ C.P = 100/88 x 220 = Rs 250

Gain required = 16%

∴ S.P = 116/100 x 250

= 58 x 5 = 290 Rs

25. Solution: (d),

Substitution x = 5 in (x+3x)(2x-3) = 2 & find w then proceed by substituting the nos.

choices

When x = 5

(5 + 3w)(2.5-3) = 2

(5 + 3w)7 = 2

5 + 3w = 14 ⇒ 3w = 9 ⇒ w = 3

X = 10

(10+9)/17 = 19/17

x = 5

(8+9)/13 = 17/13

X = 3

(3+9)(6-3) = 12/3 = 4

X = 6

(6+9)(12-3) = 15/9 = 5/3

Hence when x = 6 the fraction will be equal to 5/3
