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

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

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

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
