The difference of marks between Physics and Chemistry is same as that between

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 1

As we know share of marks will be proportional to share of angles in pie chart 
Hence Difference of marks in physics and chemistry is proportional to 15
and difference of marks in chemistry and social science is also proportional to 15 too.
So answer will be D

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 2

Study the above bar graph showing the production of food grains (in million tons). What is the ratio between the maximum production and the minimum production during the given period?
Graph should be drawn

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 2

Clearly, in the year 2007, maximum production of 100 mil tonnes is observed.
While in the year 2008, minimum production of 40 mil tonnes is observed.
Hence, the ratio is 100 : 40 = 5 : 2

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 3

Rs. 700 is divided among A, B, C in such a way that the ratio of the amounts of A and B is 2 : 3 and that of B and C is 4 : 5. Find the amounts in Rs. each received, in order A, B, C.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 3

A : B = 2 : 3

B : C = 4 : 5

A : B : C = 8 : 12 : 15

amount received by A = 8/(8 + 12 + 15) * 700 = 160/-

amount received by B = 12/(8 + 12 + 15) * 700 = 240/-

amount received by C = 15/(8 + 12 + 15) * 700 = 300/-

so the answer is option B.

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 4

ABC is a right angled triangle, B being the right angle. Mid-points of BC and AC are respectively B’ and A’. The ratio of the area of the quadrilateral AA’ B’B to the area of the triangle ABC is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 4

let A', B', C' are the midpoints of AC, BC, AB.

areas of all 4 small triangles are same, let it be x.

area of quadrilateral AA'B'B = 3x

area of ABC = 4x

RATIO = 3x : 4x
= 3 : 4

so the answer is option C.

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 5

The ratio of the volumes of water and glycerine in 240cc of a mixture is 1 : 3. The quantity of water (in cc that should be added to the mixture so that the new ratio of the volume of water and glycerine becomes 2 : 3 is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 5

Let's say we added x cc of water.
According to previous ratio amount of water in mixture is 240 × 1/4​ = 60
So after adding amount of water = 60 + x
amount of glycerine = 240 × 3/4 = 180
Hence new ratio will be = 
or x will be 60.

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 6

If the distance between two point (0, -5) and (x, 0) is 13 unit, then x =

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 6

Distance2 = diff. of x cordinates2 + diff. of y coordinates2
132 = x2 + 52
Hence x = ±12

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 7

A and B together can do a works in 12 days. B and C together do it in 15 days. If A's efficiency is twice that of C, then the days required for B alone to finish the work is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 7

A and B will do in 1 day, 1/12​ amount of work
B and C will do in 1 day, 1/15​ amount of work
Hence adding up above two equations
A + 2B + C will do in 1 day, 9/60 amount of work
as it is mentioned A = 2C (i.e. efficiency of A is twice of C)
So 2C + 2B + C will do in 1 day 9/60 amount of work
or 2(B+C) + C = 9/60
or C = 1/60​ (as B + C = 1/15)

So B alone will do work in 20 days.

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 8

A drum of kerosene is 3/4​ full. When 30 litres of kerosene is drawn from it, it remains 1/2​ full. The capacity of the drum is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 8

Drum is 3/4​ full.
When 30 liters are drawn out of it, it becomes 1/2​ full.
Therefore 3/4 - 1/2​ of drum = 30
1/4 of drum = 30
Total capacity of drum = 30 × 4 = 120 litres

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 9

A rectangular sheet of metal is 40 cm by 15 cm. Equal squares of side 4 cm are cut off at the corners and the remainder is folded up to form an open rectangular box. The volume of the box is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 9

After cutting off squares of sides 4cm. from rectangular sheet of 40cm × 15cm and making a rectangular box 
New dimentions of rectangular will be:
Base = 32cm × 7cm
Height = 4 cm
Hence volume will be 32 × 7 × 4 = 896 cm3

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 10

Water flows into a tank which is 200m long and 150m wide, through a pipe of cross-section 0.3m × 0.2m at 20 km/hour. Then the time (in minutes) for the water level in the tank to reach 8cm is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 10

Volume of water in time t to reach at 8 cm. height will be equal to volume of tank till height 8 cm.
hence volume of water in time t to reach at height 8 cm. = .3 × .2 × 2000/6 ​× (speed in per minute)
which is equal to volume of tank = 200 × 150 × 8/100​

equating both and after solving we will get t = 120 min.

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 11

5tanθ = 4, then the value of 

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 11

Taking cosθ outside in numerator and in denominator and making tanθ
hence eq will be
As it is given that 5tanθ = 4
after putting values and solving we will get the equation reduced to 1/7.

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 12

The maximum value of sin θ + cos θ is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 12

For asin θ + bcos θ + c,

for  sin θ + cos θ , a = 1, b = 1, c = 0

so the answer is option B.

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 13

If x = cosecθ − sinθ and y = secθ − cosθ, then the value of x2y2(x2 + y2 + 3)

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 13


Similarly y = sinθcosθ
x2 + y2 + 3 = (sec2θ + cosec2θ)
Now putting above values in given equation, and after solving it will be reduced to 1

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 14

The value of sin2 22° + sin2 68° + cot30° is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 14

Expression: sin2 22° + sin2 68° + cot30°

We know that sin(90° − θ) = cosθ

=> sin22° = sin(90° − 68°) = cos68°

=> cos268° + sin268° + (√3​)2

=> 1 + 3 = 4

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 15

If the number of vertices, edges and faces of a rectangualr parallelopiped are denoted by v, e and f respectively, the value of (v - e + f) is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 15

Euler's polyhedral formula states that the number of vertices V, faces F and edges E in a polyhedron satisfy:

V + F - E = 2

=> Ans - (B)

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 16

The average age of a jury of 5 is 40. If a member aged 35 resigns and man aged 25 becomes a member, then the average age of the new jury is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 16

Initially, sum of ages of the jury = 200,
then man aged 35 resigns, sum of ages = 200 - 35
then man aged 25 joins, sum of ages = 200 - 35 + 25
Final number of members in the jury = 5
So, average age of the jury = (200 - 35 + 25)/5 = 38

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 17

I am three times as old as my son. 15 years hence, I will by twice as old as my son. The sum of our ages is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 17

Let's say son's age is x
hence father's present age will be 3x
after 15 years son's age will be x + 15 and father's age will be 3x + 15 and it is twice the age of son
so 3x + 15 = 2 (x + 15)
solve for x

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 18

If the cube root of 79507 is 43, then the value of is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 18


=> 4.3 + 0.43 + 0.043 = 4.773

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 19

If √6 × √15 = x×√10, then the value of x is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 19

It is given that √6 × √15 = x×√10

√6 × √15 = √(3×2) × √(3 × 5) = √(9 × 10) = 3 √10

Hence x = 3

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 20

If x + y = 15, then (x − 10)3 + (y − 5)3 is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 20

given that x + y = 15

So rearranging the above equation

(x - 10 ) + (y - 5) =0

Now , x - 10 = -(y - 5)

On cubing both sides
(x − 10)3 = - (y − 5)3
And hence
(x − 10)3 + (y − 5)3 = 0

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 14 - Question 21
