Aptitude Test 1

Question 1) One card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. What is the
probability that the card drawn is a number card?


A. 52/12


B. 10/40


C. 10/13


D. 10/10


Your answer : Option A

Correct answer : Option C
Solution

P(E) = n(E)/p(s)
p(s) = 52c
1 =
52
n(e) = 40c
1 =
40
p(e) = 40/52 = 10/13
Question 2) The price of 10 chairs is equal to that of 4 tables. The price of 15 chairs
and 2 tables together is Rs. 4000. The total price of 12 chairs and 3
tables is:


A. 3900


B. 3500


C. 3800


D. 3600


Your answer : Option B

Correct answer : Option A
Solution

Let the cost of chair and table is x and y respectively
10x = 4y
Y = 5/2 x
15x + 2y = 4000
15x + 2(5/2)x = 4000
X = 200
Then y = 500
12x + 3y = 12 * 200 + 3 * 500 = 3900

Question 6) There are six working days in a normal working week. Each day a worker
is expected to work for 9 hours. A man gets Rs. 6 per hour for regular
work and Rs. 9 per hour for overtime. If he earns Rs. 1800 in 5 weeks,
then how many extra hours did he work during those 5 weeks?


A. 30


B. 22


C. 21


D. 20


Your answer : Option A

Correct answer : Option D
Solution

Per day salary during regular working hours is = 6 * 9 = Rs. 54 per day
Salary per week = per day salary * No. of days in a week
i.e. => 54 * 6 = 324 Rs for regular work
For 5 week regular work salary is 324 * 5 = 1620
Let x be the number of extra hours he worked during those 5 weeks.
1620 + (x * 9) = 1800
9x = 1800 - 1620
X = 20
Question 7) P and Q together have Rs. 2500. If 3/5 of P's amount is equal to 2/7 of
Q's amount, how much amount does P have?


A. 850


B. 800


C. 810.25


D. 806.45


Your answer : Option D

Solution

Let the share of P be x. Q's share will be 2500-x
3/5 (x) = (2/7) * (2500-x)
21x = 25000 - 10x
31x = 25000
x = 806.45
Question 8) Find the area of a right circular cone whose height is 10 m and slant
height is 15m.

=168
Question 9) P, Q and R can do a piece of work in 10, 20, 30days respectively. In how
many days can P do the work if he is assisted by Q and R on every Fifth
day?


A. 25days


B. 23days


C. 28days


D. 31days


Your answer : Option C

Correct answer : Option D
Solution

From given data we know that P is working for 4 days and on the fifth day he
is accompanied by R and Q
P's can finish = (1/40) * 4 = 1 / 10 of the work in 4 days.
On 5
th
day, they can finish (1/40) + (1/50) + (1/60) = 74/1200 = 37 / 600
Total 5 days works is (1/10)+(37/600) = 97/600
To complete the whole work = (600/97)*5 = 30.92 approx to 31 days

Question 12) To finish a piece of work,P takes Five times as Q and six times as R.
Working together, they can finish the work in 4 days. Q can do the work
alone in:


A. 20 days


B. 12 days


C. 10 days


D. 9 days


Your answer :
No option was selected

Correct answer : Option C
Solution

Let us assume that P takes x time to finish the given piece of work. So, P, Q
and R would take x, x/5, x/6 respectively to finish the work
1/x + 5/x + 6/x = 1/4
12/x = 1/4
x = 48
Q's work 48/5 = 9.6 approx to 10 days
Question 13) At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 30 minutes past 8?


A. 80 degree


B. 85 degree


C. 75 degrees


D. 65 degrees


Your answer :
No option was selected

Correct answer : Option C
Solution

Change the time 8 hours 30 minutes into 8 + (1/2) =17/2
For hour hand ((360/12) * 17/2) = 255
For minute hand ((360/60) * 30) = 180
Required angle = 255 - 180 = 75 degrees
