Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 1

Find the approximate area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 22 cm, 12 cm and the other sides are 8 cm and 6 cm.

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 1


Consider the trapezium ABCD,
where AB = 6 cm, BC = 12 cm, CD = 8 cm and AD = 22 cm.
Draw a line from C parallel to AB at E such that ABCE is a parallelogram.
∴ CE = AB = 6 cm and AE = BC = 12 cm.
AD = AE + ED
⇒ ED = AD – AE
⇒ ED = 22 – 12 = 10 cm.
Area of Trapezium ABCD = Area of Parallelogram ABCE + Area of ΔCED
Draw a line through C to ED such that CF is perpendicular to ED.
Area of ΔCED:
From Heron’s formulae,
Δ CED = √[(s) (s - a) (s - b) (s - c)], where s = (a + b + c)/2 and a, b, c are side of the triangle.
In this case, a = 6; b = 8 and c = 10
⇒ s = 24/2 = 12
Area of ΔCED = √(12 × 6 × 4 × 2)
⇒ Area of ΔCED = √(576) = 24 sq. cm.
Area of ΔCED = (1/2) × ED × CF
⇒ 24 = (1/2) × 10 × CF
⇒ CF = 4.8 cm.
Area of Parallelogram ABCE = AE × CF
⇒ Area of Parallelogram ABCE = 12 × 4.8 = 57.6 sq. cm.
Area of trapezium ABCD = Area of parallelogram ABCE + Area of ΔCED
⇒ Area of trapezium ABCD = 57.6 + 24 = 81.6 sq. cm.
∴ Approximate area of the trapezium = 81.6 sq. cm.

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 2

A, B and C enter into a partnership, investing Rs. 6000. A invests Rs. 1000 and B and C invests in the ratio of 2 : 3. Find the profit of C, when the annual profit is Rs. 2400

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 2

From given data,
Total investment = Rs. 6000
A investment = Rs. 1000
⇒ B and C’s investment = 6000 – 1000 = Rs. 5000
The ratio of B and C’s investment = 2 : 3
⇒ B’s investment = 2/5 × 5000 = Rs. 2000
⇒ C’s investment = 3/5 × 5000 = Rs. 3000
∴ ratio of their investment = 1000 : 2000 : 3000 = 1 : 2 : 3
Given that the annual profit = Rs. 2400
Let their profits be x : 2x : 3x
⇒ 2400 = x + 2x + 3x
⇒ 6x = 2400
⇒ x = Rs. 400
∴ C’s profit = 3x = 3 × 400 = Rs. 1200

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 3

A train 150 metres long crosses a pole in 15 seconds and crosses another train of the same length travelling in the opposite direction in 12 seconds. The speed of the second train in km/hr is

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 3

A train 150 metres long crosses a pole in 15 seconds
Distance covered to cross the pole = Length of the train = 150 m
Time required = 15 sec
∴ Speed of the first train
= Distance covered/Required time
= 150m/15sec = 10 m/sec
Let, Speed of the second train = ‘x’ m/sec
∵ Trains were travelling in opposite directions
∴ Relative velocity of first train with respect to second train
= (10 + x) km/sec
Given,
First train takes 12 second to cross the second train moving in opposite direction
∴ Distance covered to cross second train
= Length of first train + Length of second train
∵ Length of second train = Length of first train
= 150 m + 150 m = 300 m
And, Time required = 12 sec
∴ Speed of the first train = Distance covered/Required time
⇒ 10 + x = 300/12
⇒ 120 + 12x = 300
⇒ 12x = 180

Given that sum of the measures of all the interior angles = 1080°
⇒ 180(n – 2) = 1080
⇒ n – 2 = 6
⇒ n = 8

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 9

In an examination, 35% of total students failed in Hindi, 45% failed in English and 20% failed in both. Find the percentage of those students who passed in both the subjects?

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 9

From given data
No of students failed in Hindi n(H) = 35%
No of students failed in English n(E) = 45%
No of students failed in both n(H ∩ E) = 20%
⇒ total number of students who failed n(H ⋃ E) = n(H) + n(E) – n(H ∩ E)
⇒ n(H ⋃ E) = 35 + 45 - 20
⇒ n(H ⋃ E) = 60
No of students who passed = 100 - (total no of students who failed) = 100 – 60 = 40%

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 10

A sum of Rs. 3000 amounts to Rs. 6000 in two years at compound interest. The interest for four years is

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 10

To solve this problem, we need to find the interest rate and then calculate the compound interest for four years.

Let's first find the interest rate. We know that the amount doubles in two years at compound interest. So, we can use the formula for compound interest:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:
A = final amount
P = principal amount (initial investment)
r = annual interest rate (decimal)
n = number of times the interest is compounded per year
t = number of years

We are given:
A = Rs. 6000
P = Rs. 3000
t = 2 years
n = 1 (interest compounded annually)

Plugging these values into the formula, we have:

6000 = 3000(1 + r/1)^(1*2)
6000 = 3000(1 + r)^2

Dividing both sides by 3000:

2 = (1 + r)^2

Taking the square root of both sides:

sqrt(2) = 1 + r

Now, solving for r:

r = sqrt(2) - 1

Now we have the interest rate. Next, let's use this interest rate to find the compound interest for four years.

Using the formula for compound interest again, this time with t = 4 years:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

A = 3000(1 + (sqrt(2) - 1)/1)^(1*4)

Calculating this expression, we get:

A = 3000(2)^2 = 3000 * 4 = Rs. 12,000

Since the initial investment was Rs. 3000, the interest earned for four years is:

Interest = A - P = 12000 - 3000 = Rs. 9000

Hence, the answer is (1) Rs. 9000.

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 11

If the diagonals of a rhombus are 24 and 10, then the value of thrice its side is

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 11

Half of each of the two diagonal forms the two sides of a right - angled triangle whose hypotenuse is the side of the rhombus.
Length of Diagonal 1 = 24
Length of Diagonal 2 = 10
⇒ Sides of the triangle = 12 and 5

Since it’s a right - angled triangle, it should follow Pythagoras theorem.
⇒ (Side)2 = (12)2 + (5)2
⇒ Side = 13
∴ Side of the rhombus = 13.
⇒ Thrice the value of the side = 3 × 13 = 39

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 12

If the measures of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio. 1 ∶ 2 ∶ 3 and if the length of the smallest side of the triangle is 10 cm, then the length of the longest side is

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 12

Let the angles of the triangles are in the ratio x ∶ 2x ∶ 3x
We know that sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°
⇒ x + 2x + 3x = 180
⇒ 6x = 180°
⇒ x = 30°
by sin formula sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c
∴ the angles of the triangle are 30°, 60° and 90°, so the sides are in the ratio of 1 ∶ 2 ∶ √3
∴ smallest side will be opposite to 30°
Let the sides of the triangle are in the ratio of x : 2x : √3x
But given smallest side x = 10 cm
⇒ remaining sides are 2x = 2(10) = 20 cm and √3x = √3(10) = 17.32 cm
∴ the longest side = 20 cm

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 13

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 14

A cricketer has a certain average of runs for his 6 innings. In the seventh inning he scores 100 runs, thereby increasing his average by 7 runs. His new average of runs is

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 14

Let the average of 6 innings be x.
Then new average can be found by (6x + 100)/7 = x + 7
⇒ 6x + 100 = 7x + 49
⇒ x = 51
∴ New average = 51 + 7 = 58

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 15

If a3 ­ - b3 = 56 and a ­ - b = 2 then what is the value of a2 + b2?​

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 15

a– b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
56 = 2(a2 + ab + b2)
28 = (a2 + ab + b2) ----(1)
Now, (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 = 4 ----(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2),
a2 + ab + b2 = 28
a2 – 2ab + b2 = 4
3ab = 24
ab = 8
Therefore, a2 + 8 + b2 = 28 in (1)
And a2 + b2 = 28 – 8 = 20

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 16

In ΔABC, ∠B = 5∠C and ∠A = 3∠C, then the measure of ∠C is

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 16

We know that in a triangle,
Sum of angles = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 3∠C + 5∠C + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 9∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180/9 = 20°
∴ ∠C = 20°

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 17

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 17

tanθ = perpendicular/base
Given, a pole stands vertically, inside a scalene triangular park ABC. The angle of elevation of top of the pole from each corner of the park is same.
If the angle of elevation is same then, the distance of each corner from the foot of the would also be same,
Base = perpendicular/tanθ
Perpendicular is height of the pole while θ is the angle of elevation.
For the above to be true, the foot of the pole should be a circumcenter and the distance of each corner from the foot is the circumradius.

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 18

Three sides of a triangle are 5 cm, 9 cm and x cm. The minimum integral value of x is

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 18

From the given data
Length of sides of a triangle are of 5 cm, 9 cm and x cm
⇒ length of the third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides
⇒ x < 5 + 9 or x < 14
We also know that length of the third side must be greater than difference of the other two sides
⇒ x > 9 – 5 or x > 4
⇒ By both the conditions 4 < x < 14
∴ the answer is 5

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 19

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 19

From given data
Let AB be a chord of circle with center O and radius OA and OB equals to 13 cm
Draw OP perpendicular to AB
Given that OP = 5 cm
From ΔOPA, we know that
⇒ OA2 = AP2 + OP2
⇒ 132 = AP2 + 52
⇒ 169 – 25 = AP2
⇒ AP = 12 cm
But we know that AB = 2 AP = 2× 12 = 24 cm

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 20

Divide 43 into two parts so that 4 times the first and 3 times the second together equals to 150. Then ratio of the first and second parts is

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 20

Let the first part of 43 be x, then the second part will be 43 – x
According to the question,
4x + 3 × (43 – x) = 150
⇒ 4x + 129 – 3 x=150
⇒ x = 21
∴ The first part is 21 and second part is 43 – 21 = 22

Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 21

25% discount is already offered on an item. By applying a promo code the customer wins 20% cash back. What is the effective discount?

Detailed Solution for Quantitative Aptitude - Test 2 - Question 21

Let the cost price of the item be Rs. 100
25% discount is offered on an item
⇒ discount = 100 × 25/100 = Rs. 25
∴ discounted selling price = 100 - 25 = Rs. 75
Again 20% cash back is offered
⇒ cash back amount = 75 × 20/100 = Rs. 15
∴ final selling price = 75 - 15 = Rs. 60
Effective discount = cost price – selling price/cost price × 100 = 100 - 60/100 × 100 = 40%
