1.

Quantitative Aptitude:

A sphere of 30 cm radius is dropped into a cylindrical vessel of 80 cm diameter, which is partly filled with water, then its level rises by x cm. Find x:

127.5 cm
222.5 cm
318.5 cm

5None of these

2.

On dividing a number by 357, we get 39 as the remainder. On dividing the same number by 17, what will be the remainder?

10
23
35
411
5None of these

Let x be the number and y be the quotient. Then,
x = 357 × y + 39
= (17 × 21 × y) + (17 × 2) + 5
= 17 × (21y + 2) + 5
So, required number = 5

3.

After replacing an old member with a new member, it was found that the average age of five members of a club is the same as it was 3 years ago. What is the difference between the ages of the replaced and the new member?

12 years
24 years
38 years
415 years
5None of these

Age decreased = 5 × 3 years = 15 years
So, required difference = 15 years

4.

The LCM of the two numbers is 495 and their HCF is 5. If the sum of the numbers is 10, then their difference is

110
246
370
490
5None of these

Let the numbers be x and (100 ⎯x)
Then, x (100 ⎯x) = 5 × 495

x2 ⎯100x + 2475 = 0
(x ⎯55) (x ⎯45) = 0
x = 55 or x = 45
Therefore, the numbers are 45 and 55.
Required difference = (55 ⎯45) = 10

5.

A child has three different kinds of chocolates costing Rs.2, Rs.5 and Rs.10. He spends total
Rs.120 on the chocolates. What is the minimum possible number of chocolates, he can buy, if
there must be atleast one chocolate of each kind?

122
219
317
415
5None of these

Minimum number of chocolates are possible when he purchases maximum number of
costliest chocolates.
Thus, 2 × 5 + 5 × 2 = Rs.20
Now, Rs.100 must be spend on 10 chocolates as 100 = 10 × 10
Thus, minimum number of chocolates = 5 + 2 + 10 = 17

6.

A, B, C rent a pasture. A puts 10 oxen for 7 months, B puts 12 oxen for 5 months and C puts
15 oxen for 3 months for grazing. If the rent of the pasture is Rs. 175, how much must C pay
as his share of rent?

1Rs.45
2Rs.50
3Rs.55
4Rs.60
5None of these

A : B : C = 10 × 7 : 12 × 5 : 9 × 5
= 70 : 60 : 45
= 14 : 12 : 9
= Rs.175x9/35=RS.45

7.

A letter lock consists of 4 rings, each ring contains 9 non-zero digits. This lock can be opened
by setting a 4 digit code with the proper combination of each of the 4 rings Maximum how
many codes can be formed to open the lock?

14

39
4Data inadequate
5None of these

9 × 9 × 9 × 9 = 9⁴

8.

A bag contains 6 black and 8 white balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is white?

13/4
24/7
31/8
43/7
5None of these

Let number of balls = (6 + 8) = 14
Number of white balls = 8
P (drawing a white ball)=8/14=4/7

9.

The ratio between the present ages of P and Q is 6 : 7. If Q is 4 years old than P, what will be
the ratio of the ages of P and Q after 4 years?

13 : 4
23 : 5
34 : 3
47 : 8
5None of these

Let P’s age and Q’s age be 6x years and 7x years respectively.
Then 7x ⎯6x
x = 4
Required ratio = (6x + 4) : (7x + 4)
= 28 : 32
= 7 : 8

10.

I gain 70 paise on Rs.70. My gain percent is

10.1%
21%
37%
410%
5None of these

Gain % = [ 0.70/70 × 100]%
= 1%
