GATE Numerical Ability Questions (Quant & Analytical) -1 - Question 1

The number of Hens, Ducks, and Goats in farm P are 65, 91 and 169, respectively. The total number of Hens, Ducks and Goats in a nearby farm Q is 416. The ratio of hens : ducks : goats in farm Q is 5 : 14 : 13. All the hens, ducks and goats are sent from farm Q to farm P.

The new ratio of hens : ducks : goats in farm P is ____________.

Detailed Solution: Question 1

In Farm P:

Hens = 65, Ducks = 91 and Goats = 169

In Farm Q:

Total number of Hens, Ducks, and Goats = 416

The ratio of Hens : Ducks : Goats = 5 : 14 : 13

Total number of Hens = 5/32 × 416 = 65
Total number of Ducks = 14/32 × 416 = 182
Total numbers of Goats = 13/32 × 416=169

From Farm P, all the Hens, Ducks and Goats are sent to Farm Q. 

Total Hens in farm Q = 65 + 65 = 130

Total Ducks in farm Q = 91 + 182 = 273

Total Goats in farm Q = 169 + 169 = 338

New Ratio = 130 : 273 : 338 = 10 : 21 : 26

GATE Numerical Ability Questions (Quant & Analytical) -1 - Question 4

If 
then, the value of the expression Δ 2 ⊕ 3 Δ ((4 ⊗ 2) ∇ 4) =

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Concept:

Replace the symbol as per their standard sign and solve using BODMAS.

Calculation:

Given:

Δ 2 ⊕ 3 Δ ((4 ⊗ 2) ∇ 4) = + 2 - 3 + ((4 ÷ 2) × 4)

∴ + 2 - 3 + (2 × 4)

∴ + 2 - 3 + 8

∴ 10 - 3 = 7

GATE Numerical Ability Questions (Quant & Analytical) -1 - Question 5

The distribution of employees at the rank of executives, across different companies C1, C2, ..., C6 is presented in the chart given above. The ratio of executives with a management degree to those without a management degree in each of these companies is provided in the table above. The total number of executives across all companies is 10,000.

Q. The total number of management degree holders among the executives in companies C2 and C5 together is _____.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Answer: Option B

Total executives = 10000.

Percentage in C2 = 5%; in C5 = 20%.

Executives in C2 = (5/100) × 10000 = 500.

Executives in C5 = (20/100) × 10000 = 2000.

Ratio (management : non-management) in C2 = 1:4, so fraction with management degree = 1/5.

Management holders in C2 = 1/5 × 500 = 100.

Ratio in C5 = 9:1, so fraction with management degree = 9/10.

Management holders in C5 = 9/10 × 2000 = 1800.

Total management holders in C2 and C5 = 100 + 1800 = 1900. Hence option B is correct.

GATE Numerical Ability Questions (Quant & Analytical) -1 - Question 6

A digital watch X beeps every 30 seconds while watch Y beeps every 32 seconds.They beeped together at 10 AM.The immediate next time that they will beep together is _____.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Concept:

The Watched will beep together at the time of their Least Common Multiple (LCM).

Calculation:

Given:

Watch X beeps at = 30 sec

Watch Y beeps at = 32 sec

They beep together at = 10.00 AM

LCM of (30 & 32) = 480 sec

And X and Y will beep together after 480 sec or 8 minutes.

So Next beep time = 10.08 AM

GATE Numerical Ability Questions (Quant & Analytical) -1 - Question 7

The front door of Mr X's house faces East. Mr X leaves the house, walking 50 m straight from the back door that is situated directly opposite to the front door. He then turns to his right, walks for another 50 m and stops. The direction of the point Mr X is now located at with respect to the starting point is ______.

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Tracing path followed by Mr. X,

Hence Mr. X will be in North-West direction from the starting point.

GATE Numerical Ability Questions (Quant & Analytical) -1 - Question 8

Given below are two statements 1 and 2, and two conclusions I and II.

Statement 1: All entrepreneurs are wealthy.

Statement 2: All wealthy are risk seekers.

Conclusion I: All risk seekers are wealthy.

Conclusion II: Only some entrepreneurs are risk seekers.

Based on the above statements and conclusions, which one of the following options is CORRECT? 

Detailed Solution: Question 8

The Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

All risk seekers are wealthy. → False (All wealthy are risk seekers but can't say vice versa is also true)

Only some entrepreneurs are risk seekers → False (All entrepreneurs are wealthy and All wealthy are risk seekers so all entrepreneurs will be risk seekers)

Hence neither conclusion I nor II is correct.

GATE Numerical Ability Questions (Quant & Analytical) -1 - Question 9

The ratio of the area of the inscribed circle to the area of the circumscribed circle of an equilateral triangle is _____

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Let the radius of the circumscribed circle is R, and the radius of the inscribed circle is r.

Then area of circumscribed circle = πR2

Then the area of the inscribed circle = πr2

We know the angle between two adjacent sides in an equilateral triangle is 60°.

ΔOAB, Sin30 = r / R

R = 2r

The ratio of the area of the inscribed circle to the area of the circumscribed circle 

GATE Numerical Ability Questions (Quant & Analytical) -1 - Question 10

A box contains 15 blue balls and 45 black balls. If 2 balls are selected randomly, without replacement, the probability of an outcome in which the first selected is a blue ball and the second selected is a black ball, is ______.

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Concept:

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

Calculation:

Given:

Number of blue balls = 15, Number of black balls = 45

Total number of balls = 15 + 45 = 60 balls

Balls are drawn from the box at random without replacement.

The probability of drawing first blue ball and second black ball is;
