Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 1

Alan has two more than twice as many chocolates as does Alice, and half as many chocolates as does Nadia. If Alice has ‘a’ number of chocolates, then in terms of ‘a’, how many chocolates do Alan, Alice and Nadia have?

Detailed Solution: Question 1

We know that Alice has 'a' chocolates. Alan has 2a+2 chocolates from the given statement in the question. Nadia has double the chocolates as Alan has, so she has 4a+4 chocolates.

Adding these, we get 4a+4+2a+2+a = 7a +6 . So ,Option (d) is correct.

Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 2

Milk needs to be thinned to a ratio of 3 parts milk to 2 parts water. The milk-man has by mistake added water so that he has 8 liters of milk which is half water and half milk. What must he add to make the proportions of the mixture correct?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

We note that the final ratio must be 3:2 for milk and water respectively. Now, according to given scenario in the question, we have eight liters of solution with 4 liters milk and 4 liters water, which makes it 2:2. In order to make it 3:2, we add 2 liters milk. This would make a total of 6 liters milk and 4 liters water i.e. 6:4 which can be simplified to 3:2.

Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 3

50, 45, 40, 35, 30, ? 


Detailed Solution: Question 3

The solution of the series is as follows.

50 – 5 = 45
45 – 5 = 40
40 – 5 = 35
35 – 5 = 30
30 – 5 25

Hence, the correct answer is 25.

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 4

4096, 1024, 256, ?, 16, 4


Detailed Solution: Question 4

The solution of the series is as follows.

4096 / 4 = 1024
1024 / 4 = 256
256 / 4 = 64
64 / 4 = 16
16 / 4 = 4

Hence, the correct answer is 64.

Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 5

In the question, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusions among given two conclusions is/are definitely true, and then give your answer according to it. 

Statement: 

H < A < T = G > U ≥ V ≥ B 

Conclusion:

  1. T > B 
  2. G > H 

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Given Statement: H < A < T = G > U ≥ V ≥ B 

T > B = True (as T = G > U ≥ V ≥ B)
G > H = True (as H < A < T = G)
If we analyse the given statements, then we get the answer both conclusion I and II follows. 

Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 6

In the question, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusions among given two conclusions is/are definitely true, and then give your answer according to it. 

Statement: 

B = K  ≥ H = T > U ≤ I

Conclusion:

H > I
H ≤ I

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Given Statement: B = K  ≥ H = T > U ≤ I

H > I = False (as H = T > U ≤ I)
H ≤ I = False (as H = T > U ≤ I)
Hence, Either conclusion I or II follows. 

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 7

67 : 76 :: 42: ?


Detailed Solution: Question 7

67 + 9 = 76 

Similarly, 42 + 9 = 51,

Hence, 51 will replace the question mark.

Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 8

In the question, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusions among given two conclusions is/are definitely true, and then give your answer according to it. 

Statement: 

O < L > P > M ≤ N ≤ B 
L = K, M ≥ R 
Conclusion:

I. K > M 
II. O = M 
III. R < B 
IV. R = B 

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Given Statement:

  1. O < L > P > M ≤ N ≤ B 
  2. L = K, M ≥ R 
  3. K > M = True (as L = K, so L replaced by K then K > P > M)
  4. O = M = False (as O < L > P > M)

III. R < B = False (as M ≥ R then R ≤ M ≤ N ≤ B gives either R < B or R = B) 

IV. R = B = False (as M ≥ R then R ≤ M ≤ N ≤ B gives either R < B or R = B) 
Hence, Only conclusion I and Either Conclusion III or IV follow. 

Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 9

A group wanted to renovate their club. Each member contributed an amount equal to twice the number of members in the club. But the government contributed same amount as the number of members. If each member had contributed the same amount as the number of members and the government had given an amount twice the number of members, then they would have Rs. 210 less. How many members are there?

Detailed Solution: Question 9

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Problem Solving- 1 - Question 10

71 : 42 :: 98 : ?


Detailed Solution: Question 10

71 – 29 = 42

Similar, 98 – 29 = 69

Hence, 69 will replace the question mark.
