(Solution Key) QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE

1. Ans : C

According to the question, Area of the park = 100 x 40 = 4000 m² So, area of the circular lawn = (4000 - 1536)m² = 2464 m² i.e πr² = 2464 m²

=> r² = 2464 x 7/22 = 784 => r = √784 = 28m .'. Circumference of the circular lawn = 2πr = 2 x 22/7 x 28 = 176

2. Ans: A

Let one variety of wheat be 'x' kg. Then, second variety = (50 - x) kg

According to the question,

4.50 * x + 5 * (50 - x) = 240

=> 4.5x + 250 - 5x = 240

=> 0.5x = 10

=> x = 20

Hence, the quantity of cheaper wheat was 20 kg

3. Ans: C

Explanation : Speed of the train in meters/second = 60 x 5/18 = 50/3 m/s Distance travelled in 27s = 27x 50/3 m, this is equal to train’s length + platform’s length x + 200 = 27 x 50/3 3x + 600 = 1350 3x = 750 x = 750/3 = 250m

4. Ans: B

Le the distance between A and B be D. T1 = D/30

T2 = D/34 Total time = T1 + T2 = 48 minutes = 4/5 Hrs D/30 + D/34 = 4/5 => D (1/30+1/34) = 4/5 => D ((34+30)/30 x 34) = 4/5 => D = 4/5 x (30x34)/(30+34) = 51/4 So, Total Distance travelled = 2D = 51/2 = 25.5 Kms

5. Ans: c) Required amount = 8400[(1 + 12.5/100)3 – 1] = 3560.16

6. Ans: E

Price after first 20% discount = 30,000 – 6000 = 24000

Price after 2nd 20% discount = 24000 – 4800 = 19200

After repairs the cost = 19200 + 2800 = 22000

She sold it for 26000, so profit = 4000. She spent a total of Rs 22000 and made a profit of Rs 4000, So Profit percent = (4000/22000)x 100 = 400/22 = 200/11 %

7. Ans: D

Explanation : Let A = x. Then, B = x + 2, C = x + 4, D = x + 6 and E = x + 8 Given, (A + C)/2 = 73 => A + C = 146 => x + x + 4 = 146 => 2x = 142 => x = 71

Hence, the smallest odd number is 71.

8. Ans: A

Explanation : According to the formula, Simple Interest = (Principal x Rate x Time )/100 => 8352 = (Principal x 12 x 8 )/100 => Principal = (8352 x 100)/(12 x 8) = 835200/96 = Rs 8700

9. Ans: b

Population = 380000 × 108/100 × 91/100 = 373464

10. Ans: A Explanation : Minimum marks to pass = 975 Raja got 810 marks and failed by 11 percent, so, 975-810 = 11% of total marks => 165 = (11 / 100) x total marks

=> (165 x 100) /11 = total marks => total marks = 15x100 = 1500

11. Ans: b)

Let C can complete the work in “X” days => 20/80 + 60/120 + 28/x = 1 => 28/x = 1 – [(60 + 120)/240] => 28/x = 1 – ¾ => 28/x = ¼ => X = 112 days.

12. Ans: B Explanation : There are 2 cases where the number of men is more than women.

www.ibpsguide.in | mock.ibpsguide.in | www.sscexamguide.com

www.ibpsguide.com Case I : 4 Men and 0 Women

Probability = 5C4/10C4 = 1/42 Case

II : 3 Men and 1 Woman Probability =

5C3 x5C1/10C4 = 5/21 Probability of

both case I and case II = 1/42 + 5/21 =

11/42

13. Ans: A

Explanation : According to the question, Let the number of boys and girls be x and 2x respectively. => (x - 2)/(2x - 2) = 1/3 => 3x - 6 = 2x - 2 => x = 4. Now, number of boys = 4, Girls = 2 x 4 = 8. Hence , initially number of people were = 12.

14Ans: D

Explanation : Distance covered in downstream = 4 km

Time taken in downstream = 3 hours. Rate of downstream = distance / time = a = 4km / 3 hours = 4/3 km/hr. Distance covered in upstream = 2 km

Time taken in upstream = 2 hours. Rate of upstream = distance / time = b = 2 km / 2 hours = 1 km/hr. Speed in still water = (a + b)/2 = (1/2)(4/3 + 1) km/hr = (1/2)(4 + 3)/3 = 7/6 km/hr. Time Taken to cover 8 km in still water = distance / speed = 8 x 6/7 = 48 / 7 ≈ 7 hours.

15. Ans: b)

Let the original quantity = x litres Quantity of wine left after 4 operations = (1 – 8/x)4 => [x(1 – 8/x)4]/x = 16/81 => (x – 8)/x = 2/3 => x = 24 litres

16). e) Number of men visiting supermarket D = 41%

of 55500 = 41 × 555 = 22755 Total number of people visiting all the supermarkets together = 34560 + 65900 + 45640 + 55500 + 42350 + 59650 = 303600 Therefore required probability = 22755/303600 × 100 = 7.5% Appr.

of 65900 + 45% of 45640 + 26% of 55500+ 70% of 42350 + 62% of 59650 = 19008 +'28337 + 20538 +

14430 + 29645 + 36983 = 148941 Therefore required average = 148941/6 = 24823.5
