In this section, we
are discussing Aptitude test papers. To help the contenders we have
published aptitude questions and answers with a detailed explanation.
1.
In a covering, a certain distance, the speeds of A and B are in the ratio of
3:4. A takes 30 minutes more than B to reach the destination. The time taken by
A to reach the destination is?
A. 1 hour
B.
1 1/2 hour
C.
2 hour
D.
2 1/2 hour
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Ratio
of speeds = 3:4
Ratio
of times taken = 4:3
Suppose
A takes 4x hrs and B takes 3x hrs to reach the destination.
Then,
4x – 3x = 30/60 => x = 1/2
Time
taken by A = 4x hrs = 4 * 1/2 = 2 hrs.
2. A train 110 m long is running with a speed of 60 km/hr. In
what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 km/hr in the direction
opposite to that in which the train is going?
A.
5 sec
B.
6 sec
C.
7 sec
D.
10 sec
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Speed
of train relative to man = 60 + 6 = 66 km/hr.
=
66 * 5/18 = 55/3 m/sec.
Time
taken to pass the men = 110 * 3/55 = 6 sec.
3. A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8
days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed
the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?
A.
Rs. 375
B.
Rs. 400
C.
Rs. 600
D.
Rs. 800
Answer: Option B
Solution:
C’s
1 day’s work = 1/3 – (1/6 + 1/8) = 1/3 – 7/24 = 1/24
A’s
wages : B’s wages : C’s wages
1/6
: 1/8 : 1/24 = 4:3:1
C’s
share = 1/8 * 3200 = Rs. 400
4.
A, B and C started a business
with capitals of Rs. 8000, Rs. 10000 and Rs. 12000 respectively. At the end of
the year, the profit share of B is Rs. 1500. The difference between the profit
shares of A and C is?
A.
Rs. 300
B.
Rs. 400
C.
Rs. 500
D.
Rs. 600
E.
None of these
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Ratio
of investments of A, B and C is 8000 : 10000 : 12000 = 4 : 5 : 6
And
also given that, profit share of B is Rs. 1500
=>
5 parts out of 15 parts is Rs. 1500
Now,
required difference is 6 – 4 = 2 parts
Required
difference = 2/5 (1500) = Rs. 600
5.

B.
Rs. 60, Rs. 90, Rs. 360
C.
Rs. 150, Rs. 300, Rs. 60
D.
None of these
Answer: Option B
Solution:
(A
= 2/3 B and B = 1/4 C) = A/B = 2/3 and B/C = 1/4
A:B
= 2:3 and B:C = 1:4 = 3:12
A:B:C
= 2:3:12
A;s
share = 510 * 2/17 = Rs. 60
B’s
share = 510 * 3/17 = Rs. 90
C’s
share = 510 * 12/17 = Rs. 360.

18.
In an election between two
candidates A and B, the number of valid votes received by A exceeds those
received by B by 15% of the total number of votes polled. If 20% of the votes
polled were invalid and a total of 8720 votes were polled, then how many valid
votes did B get?
A.
2160
B.
2420
C.
2834
D.
3150
E.
None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Let
the total number of votes polled in the election be 100k.
Number
of valid votes = 100k – 20% (100k) = 80k
Let
the number of votes polled in favour of A and B be a and b respectively.
a
– b = 15% (100k) => a = b + 15k
=>
a + b = b + 15k + b
Now,
2b + 15k = 80k and hence b = 32.5k
It
is given that 100k = 8720
32.5k
= 32.5k/100k * 8720 = 2834
The
number of valid votes polled in favour of B is 2834.

16p
+ 8q = 352 — (1)
4p
+ 4q = 96
8p
+ 8q = 192 — (2)
(1)
– (2) => 8p = 160
=>
p = 20

=>
a = -6, -5
II.
(b + 5)(b + 1) = 0
=>
b = -5, -1 => a = b

are discussing Aptitude test papers. To help the contenders we have
published aptitude questions and answers with a detailed explanation.
1.
In a covering, a certain distance, the speeds of A and B are in the ratio of
3:4. A takes 30 minutes more than B to reach the destination. The time taken by
A to reach the destination is?
A. 1 hour
B.
1 1/2 hour
C.
2 hour
D.
2 1/2 hour
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Ratio
of speeds = 3:4
Ratio
of times taken = 4:3
Suppose
A takes 4x hrs and B takes 3x hrs to reach the destination.
Then,
4x – 3x = 30/60 => x = 1/2
Time
taken by A = 4x hrs = 4 * 1/2 = 2 hrs.
2. A train 110 m long is running with a speed of 60 km/hr. In
what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 km/hr in the direction
opposite to that in which the train is going?
A.
5 sec
B.
6 sec
C.
7 sec
D.
10 sec
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Speed
of train relative to man = 60 + 6 = 66 km/hr.
=
66 * 5/18 = 55/3 m/sec.
Time
taken to pass the men = 110 * 3/55 = 6 sec.
3. A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8
days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed

A.
Rs. 375
B.
Rs. 400
C.
Rs. 600
D.
Rs. 800
Answer: Option B
Solution:
C’s
1 day’s work = 1/3 – (1/6 + 1/8) = 1/3 – 7/24 = 1/24
A’s
wages : B’s wages : C’s wages
1/6
: 1/8 : 1/24 = 4:3:1
C’s
share = 1/8 * 3200 = Rs. 400
4.
A, B and C started a business
with capitals of Rs. 8000, Rs. 10000 and Rs. 12000 respectively. At the end of

shares of A and C is?
A.
Rs. 300
B.
Rs. 400
C.
Rs. 500
D.
Rs. 600
E.
None of these
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Ratio
of investments of A, B and C is 8000 : 10000 : 12000 = 4 : 5 : 6
And
also given that, profit share of B is Rs. 1500
=>
5 parts out of 15 parts is Rs. 1500
Now,
required difference is 6 – 4 = 2 parts
Required
difference = 2/5 (1500) = Rs. 600

18.
In an election between two
candidates A and B, the number of valid votes received by A exceeds those
received by B by 15% of the total number of votes polled. If 20% of the votes
polled were invalid and a total of 8720 votes were polled, then how many valid
votes did B get?
A.
2160
B.
2420
C.
2834
D.
3150
E.
None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Let
the total number of votes polled in the election be 100k.
Number
of valid votes = 100k – 20% (100k) = 80k
Let
the number of votes polled in favour of A and B be a and b respectively.
a
– b = 15% (100k) => a = b + 15k
=>
a + b = b + 15k + b
Now,
2b + 15k = 80k and hence b = 32.5k
It
is given that 100k = 8720
32.5k
= 32.5k/100k * 8720 = 2834
The
number of valid votes polled in favour of B is 2834.

Placement Papers
In this section, we
are discussing Aptitude test papers. To help the contenders we have
published aptitude questions and answers with a detailed explanation.
1.
In a covering, a certain distance, the speeds of A and B are in the ratio of
3:4. A takes 30 minutes more than B to reach the destination. The time taken by
A to reach the destination is?
A. 1 hour
B.
1 1/2 hour
C.
2 hour
D.
2 1/2 hour
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Ratio
of speeds = 3:4
Ratio
of times taken = 4:3
Suppose
A takes 4x hrs and B takes 3x hrs to reach the destination.
Then,
4x – 3x = 30/60 => x = 1/2
Time
taken by A = 4x hrs = 4 * 1/2 = 2 hrs.
2. A train 110 m long is running with a speed of 60 km/hr. In
what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 km/hr in the direction
opposite to that in which the train is going?
A.
5 sec
B.
6 sec
C.
7 sec
D.
10 sec
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Speed
of train relative to man = 60 + 6 = 66 km/hr.
=
66 * 5/18 = 55/3 m/sec.
Time
taken to pass the men = 110 * 3/55 = 6 sec.
3. A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8
days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed
the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?
A.
Rs. 375
B.
Rs. 400
C.
Rs. 600
D.
Rs. 800
Answer: Option B
Solution:
C’s
1 day’s work = 1/3 – (1/6 + 1/8) = 1/3 – 7/24 = 1/24
A’s
wages : B’s wages : C’s wages
1/6
: 1/8 : 1/24 = 4:3:1
C’s
share = 1/8 * 3200 = Rs. 400
4.
A, B and C started a business
with capitals of Rs. 8000, Rs. 10000 and Rs. 12000 respectively. At the end of
the year, the profit share of B is Rs. 1500. The difference between the profit
shares of A and C is?
A.
Rs. 300
B.
Rs. 400
C.
Rs. 500
D.
Rs. 600
E.
None of these
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Ratio
of investments of A, B and C is 8000 : 10000 : 12000 = 4 : 5 : 6
And
also given that, profit share of B is Rs. 1500
=>
5 parts out of 15 parts is Rs. 1500
Now,
required difference is 6 – 4 = 2 parts
Required
difference = 2/5 (1500) = Rs. 600
5.

B.
Rs. 60, Rs. 90, Rs. 360
C.
Rs. 150, Rs. 300, Rs. 60
D.
None of these
Answer: Option B
Solution:
(A
= 2/3 B and B = 1/4 C) = A/B = 2/3 and B/C = 1/4
A:B
= 2:3 and B:C = 1:4 = 3:12
A:B:C
= 2:3:12
A;s
share = 510 * 2/17 = Rs. 60
B’s
share = 510 * 3/17 = Rs. 90
C’s
share = 510 * 12/17 = Rs. 360.

18.
In an election between two
candidates A and B, the number of valid votes received by A exceeds those
received by B by 15% of the total number of votes polled. If 20% of the votes
polled were invalid and a total of 8720 votes were polled, then how many valid
votes did B get?
A.
2160
B.
2420
C.
2834
D.
3150
E.
None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Let
the total number of votes polled in the election be 100k.
Number
of valid votes = 100k – 20% (100k) = 80k
Let
the number of votes polled in favour of A and B be a and b respectively.
a
– b = 15% (100k) => a = b + 15k
=>
a + b = b + 15k + b
Now,
2b + 15k = 80k and hence b = 32.5k
It
is given that 100k = 8720
32.5k
= 32.5k/100k * 8720 = 2834
The
number of valid votes polled in favour of B is 2834.

the cost of each pen and pencil be ‘p’ and ‘q’ respectively.
16p
+ 8q = 352 — (1)
4p
+ 4q = 96
8p
+ 8q = 192 — (2)
(1)
– (2) => 8p = 160
=>
p = 20
