TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 1

There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in A, it gets filled up like, 10, 20, 40,80, 160..in tank B. 1/8 th of the tank B is filled in 22 hours. What is the time to fill the tank fully?

Detailed Solution for TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 1

Tank B is filled in geometric progression, so after 22 hrs water in tank will be = 10 * 2^21 = x/8 

where x = volume of tank x = 10 * 2^24 thus by geometric progression we get that n-1 = 24 

so n = 25, hence time required is  25 hrs.

Suppose the first 35 statements are true!

Statement 1: At least 1 statement is false [TRUE]

Statement 2: At least 2 statements are false   [TRUE]

...

Statement 35: At least 35 statements are false  [TRUE]

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Statement 36: At least 36 statements are false  [FALSE]

..

Statement 40: At least 40 statements are false  [FALSE]

TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 8

The age of the two friends were in the ration of 6:5.If the sum of their ages is 66.Then after how many years their ratio will become 7:6?

Detailed Solution for TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 8

Let the age of two friends be 6x and 5x

Sum of their ages 66 => 6x + 5x = 66 => 11x = 66 => x=6

The ages will be 36 and 30

 (36+k)/(30+k) = 7/6 => 36 x 6 + 6k = 210 + 7k

216 + 6k = 210 + 7k => 6 = k

After 6 years their ages will be in the ratio 7:6

TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 9

The age of the two friends were in the ratio of 2:3.If the sum of their ages is 55.Then after how many years their ratio will become 4:5? 

Detailed Solution for TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 9

Let the age be the friends be 2x and 3x. Sum of their ages = 55

2x + 3x = 55 => 5x=55 => x=11

Their ages are 22 and 33

After k years both of them will be 22+k and 33+k years old

Ratio of their age at that time will me 4:5

  • (22+k)/(33+k)=4/5 
  • 5(22+k)=4(33+4) => 110 + 5k = 132+4k
  • K=132-110 = 22

The difference between two no is 9 and the product of the two is 14.What is the square of their sum?

Detailed Solution for TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 13

One number be x and other y, then  x - y = 9

(x - y)2 = 81

x2 + y2 = 81 + 2xy = 109

(x+y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy = 109 + 28 = 137

So answer is 137

TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 14

On planet korba, a solar blast has melted the ice caps on its equator. 9 years after the ice melts, tiny planetoids called echina start growing on the rocks. Echina grows in the form of circle, and the relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of echina is given by the formula d = 4*v (t-9) for t = 9 where d represents the diameter in mm and t the number of years since the solar blast.Jagan recorded the radius of some echina at a particular spot as 7mm. How many years back did the solar blast occur?         

Detailed Solution for TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 14

The correct option is Option A.

r = 7

d = 14

Also, d =4 × (t-9)

So, 14 = 4t - 36

t = 12.25

Now, the plant starts growing after 9 years of blast.

So, 12.25 + 9 = 21.25

TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 28

If a pipe can fill the tank within 6hrs. But due to leak it takes 30 min more.Now the tank is full then how much time will it take to empty the tank throught the leak.?

Detailed Solution for TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 28

Let the capacity of the tank be 6 litre.

Then time to fill this tank is 6 hour ,when there is no leakage .

so in 1 hour it fills 1 litre.

when leakage is there then it takes 6.5 hour to fill 6 litre 

so in 1 hour it fills 6/6.5 litre.

Time to vacate will be 1-(6/6.5) = 1/13 litre in 1 hour

time to vacate 1 litre will be 13 hour.

For 6 litre it will be 13*6 =78 

TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 29

The bacteria has the probability of split into 3 and probability to die is 1/3rd of the total bacteria.Let the probability is P. Some of them survived with probability 1/5.Then which among the following relation is true?

Detailed Solution for TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 29

Probability for the bacteria to be dying = 1/3

Hence probability of survival = 1/5

if they survive, they will be split into 3 more bacteria hence, p = (1/3) + (3* 1/5)

TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 30

There is a bacteria which has the probability of die 1/3 of its total number or it may tripled. Find out the probability

Detailed Solution for TCS Aptitude Paper 1 - Question 30

Probability of bacteria to die is 1/3

or its get tripled, hence the probability of getting tripled is (2/3)*p*p*p that is  (2/3)*p^3

so both the probability combined as P=1/3+(2/3*p^3)
