Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 3

As per the given data,
Cost price of 23 kg of rice = 24 × 23 = Rs.552
Cost price of 27 kg of rice = 27 × 37 = Rs.999
∴ cost price of 50 kg of rice = Rs.552 + Rs.999 = Rs.1551
Also given that he sells at Rs.35 per kg
⇒ selling price of 50 kg of rice = 50 × 35 = 1750
∴ profit percent = (sp - cp/cp × 100)
= (1750 – 1551/1551 × 100)
= 12.83 %

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 7

If α, β are the roots of the equation 2x2 - 3x + 2 = 0, form the equation whose roots are α2, β2 ?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 7

As per the given data
⇒ α + β = - b/a = - ( - 3)/2 = 3/2
⇒ αβ = c/a = 2/2 = 1
For the new equation roots are α2 and β2
∴ sum of the roots α2 + β2 = (α + β)2 - 2αβ = (3/2)2 - 2(1) = 9/4 – 2 = ¼
Product of the roots = α2β2 = (αβ)2 = 12 = 1
⇒ Required equation = x2 – (sum of the roots)x + product of the roots = 0
⇒ x2 – (1/4)x + 1 = 0
⇒ 4x2 - x + 4 = 0

As per the given data
⇒ ∠B = 70° and ∠C = 30°
∴ ∠OBC = 70/2 = 35° and ∠BCO = 30/2 = 15°
We know that sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠BCO = 180°
⇒ 35 + 15 + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 180 – 50 = 130°
∴ the value of ∠BOC = 130°

The area of a trapezium is 441 sq.cm and the ratio of parallel sides is 5 : 9. Also the perpendicular distance between them is 21 cm, the longer of parallel sides is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 10

From the given data
Let the ratio of parallel sides be 5x : 9x
Also given that perpendicular distance between them h = 21 cm
we know that area of trapezium = ½ (a + b)h
⇒ 441 = ½ (5x + 9x) 21
⇒ 21 = ½ (14x)
⇒ 42 = 14x
⇒ x = 3
Substitute the value of x in 5x and 9x
⇒ 5x = 5(3) = 15 cm
⇒ 9x = 9(3) = 27 cm
∴ longer side of the parallel side = 27 cm

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 12

When a number is divided by 13, the remainder is 11. When the same number is divided by 17, the remainder is 9. What is the number?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 12

From the given data
Let the number be x
We know that dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder
⇒ x = 13p + 11…eq 1
Also given that when the same number is divided by 17, the remainder is 9
⇒ x = 17q + 9...eq 2
From eq 1 and eq 2, we get
⇒ 13p + 11 = 17q + 9
⇒ 17q – 13p = 2
⇒ q = ( 2 + 13p)/17
The least value of p for which q = (2 + 13p)/17 is a whole number is p = 26
Substitute p = 26 in x = 13p + 11
⇒ x = 13× 26 + 11
⇒ x = 349

A shop keeper sells an article at 20% loss. If he sells it for 100 more, he would earn a profit of 10%.The cost price is 

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 13

As per the given data
Let the cost price be x and selling price be y
Given that shopkeeper sells an article at 20% loss
⇒ x – 20x/100 = y
⇒ 80x/100 = y
⇒ x = 5y/4
⇒ 4x - 5y = 0.…eq 1
Also given that if he sells it for 100 more, he would earn a profit of 10%
⇒ x + 10/100 x = y + 100
⇒ 11x = 10y + 1000
⇒ 11x - 10y = 1000.…eq 2
Multiply eq 1 with 2 , we get
⇒ 8x – 10 y = 0 …eq 3
⇒ subtract eq 3 from eq 2 , we get
⇒ 3x = 1000
⇒ x = 333.33
Therefore cost price of the article = Rs.333.33

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 14

Average of 100 numbers is 50. If the two numbers 60 and 80 are discarded, then find the average of the remaining numbers ?

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

As per the given data,
Average of 100 numbers = 50
⇒ (x1 + x2 + ….. + x100)/100 = 50
⇒ x1 + x2 + ….. + x100 = 5000
⇒ x1 + x2 + … + x98 = 5000 - 60 - 80
⇒ x1 + x2 + … + x98 = 4860
∴ sum of the 98 numbers = 4860
⇒ average of 98 numbers = 4860/98 = 49.6

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 15

The difference between simple interest received from two different sources for Rs.13,000 for 2 years is Rs. 65. Then the difference between their rates of interest?

As per the given data
Let their simple interest be I1 and I2
Let their rate of interest be R1 and R2
⇒ I1 – I2 = (PTR1/100 – PTR2/100)
⇒ I1 – I2 = (R1 - R2) (PT/100)
⇒ 65 = (R1 - R2) (13000 × 2/100)
⇒ R1 - R2 = ¼ = 0.25

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 17

If a – b = 3 and a2 + b2 = 29, find the value of a + b ?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 17

As per the given data,
⇒ a – b = 3
Squaring on both sides, we get
⇒ a2 + b2 - 2ab = 9
⇒ 29 – 2ab = 9
⇒ 29 – 9 = 2ab
⇒ 20 = 2ab
⇒ ab = 10
We know that (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
⇒ (a + b)2 = 29 + 2(10) = 49
⇒ a + b = √49 = ±7

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 18

In ∆ABC, AB = 12 cm, BC = 10 cm and AC = 6 cm. Find the approximate length of the median from vertex A.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 18

As per the given data
Let AD be the length of the median subtending from vertex A and to the side BC
⇒ BD = DC = BC/2 = 10/2 = 5 cm
By Apollonius theorem, we get
⇒ AB2 + AC2 = 2 (AD2 + BD2)
⇒ 122 + 6= 2 (AD2 + 52)
⇒ 90 = AD2 + 25
⇒ 65 = AD2
⇒ AD = 8.06 cm
∴ length of the medium = AD = 8.06 ≈ 8 cm

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 19

Two arcs of two different circles are of equal lengths. If these arcs subtend angles of 30° and 60° at the centers of their respective circles, find the ratio of the radii of the two circles.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 19

As per the given data
Converting the degree into radians
⇒ 30° = π/6 rad and 60° = π/3 rad
Let rand r2 be the radii of the two circles and l be the length of the each arc
We know that l = r θ
⇒ r1θ1 = r2θ2
⇒ r1/r2 = θ21
⇒ r1/r2 = (π/3)/(π/6)
⇒ r1/r2 = 6/3 = 2/1
∴ the required ratio = 2 : 1

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 20

The area of a square and circle is same and the perimeter of square and equilateral triangle is same, then the ratio between the area of circle and the area of equilateral triangle is

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 20

From the given data
Let the each side of a square be a, then its area will be a2
∴ area of circle will also be a2
Also given that the perimeter of square and equilateral triangle is same,
⇒ 4a = 3s
the each side of equilateral triangle is 4a/3
∴ area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 × (4a/3)2 = 4√3 a2/9
∴ ratio between the area of circle and the area of equilateral triangle = a2/(4√3 a2 × 9) = 9 : 4√3

Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 21

There are two buildings, one on each bank of a river, just opposite to each other. One building is 36 m high. From the top of the this building, the angles of depression of the top and foot of the other building are 30° and 45° respectively. Find the height of the other building?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quantitative Aptitude - 1 - Question 21

As per the given data,
Let AB and CD be the two buildings, and AC be the river with a length of x meters


Let us consider AB be the building of height = 36 m and CD be the height of other building of h meters
⇒ ∠ACB = 45° and ∠EDB = 30°
From ΔABC, we get
⇒ AB/AC = tan 45°
⇒ 1 = AB/AC
⇒ AB = AC = 36 m
∴ DE = AC = 36 m
From ΔEDB, we get
⇒ tan 30° = BE/DE
⇒ 1/√3 = BE/DE
⇒ BE = DE/√3 = 36/√3 = 20.7 m
We know that CD = AE = AB – BE = (36 - 20.7) m = 15.3 m
∴ height of the other building = 15.3 m
