Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

1. To find the interest, subtract the principal from the balance.

       $618 - $600 = $18

2.Use the simple interest formula and solve for r.

       I = Prt

      18= 600 x r x (1/2)

       r= 0.06 =6%

NOTE: For a century year,it is divided by 400 and leaving a ramainder of 0 results a leap year.

So,2400 when divided by 400 leaves a remainder 0.

Given numbers are 585 546 514 404 206 369
Then interchanging the 1st and 3rd digits of the given numbers, we get
585 645 415 404 602 963
Now, arranging them in ascending order
963 645 602 585 415 404
Then the last second number is 415.

20 x 55 x 66 = L x 65 x 70
Here L = 72,600/4550 = 15.95 =~ 16
Reduction is 20-16 = 4

which is 20% reduction.

Let the rquired number be 'P'

According to the question,

$$\begin{gathered} 100 x P100 = 20 \\ => P = 20 x 100100 = 20 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 100 percent of the number 20 is 20.

Now, you can also try for

20 percent of what number is 100

$$\begin{gathered} 20 x P100 = 100 \\ => P = 100 x 10020 = 500 \\ => P = 500 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 20 percent of the number 500 is 100.

Length of train A = 48 x 9 x 5/18 = 120 mts

Length of train B = 48 x 24 x 5/18 - 120

=> 320 - 120 = 200 mts.

Given monday population = 3000
Per day 20% increase in population.

Tuesday population = 3000 + 3000x20/100 = 3000 + 600 = 3600

Wednesday population =3600 + 3600x20/100 = 3600 + 720 = 4320

Thursday population = 4320 + 4320x20/100 = 4320 + 864 = 5184

So that day is Thursday.
