Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Substitute sensible numbers and work out the problem. Then change the numbers back to letters. For example if the machine puts 6 caps on bottles in 2 minutes, it will put 6 /2 caps on per minute, or (6 /2) x 60 caps per hour. Putting letters back this is 60c/m.If you divide the required number of caps (b) by the caps per hour you will get time taken in hours. This gives bm/60c

The new number formed is 4  3  0  1  8  2  7  9  6  5

The seventh digit from the left is 7, the 3rd digit from the left of 7 is 1

P.W=Rs.100×2310100+15×52 = Rs.1680

Let the distance traveled be x km.
Then, x/10 - x/15 = 2
3x - 2x = 60 => x = 60 km.
Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60/10 = 6 hrs.
So, Robert started 6 hours before 2. p.m. i.e., at 8 a.m.
Required speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.

More Men, Less Hours {Indirect Proportion}

Less Days, More Hours {Indirect Proportion}

 men15 : 10days12 : 18 ⋮⋮ 6:x

=> 15 * 12 * x = 10 * 18 * 6

=>x = 6

Anu = (Raj + 5) + 9

= Raj + 14 -------- (I)

Raj = (Renu - 4) + 7

= Renu + 3 ------- (II)

Raj's age = 19 + 3 = 22 years

After 5 years Anu's age = 22 + 14 + 5 = 41 years

Let the original speed and time is S and T
then distance = S x T
Now the speed changes to 2/3S and T is T+20
As the distance is same
S x T = 2/3Sx(T+20)
solving this we get t = 40 minutes
=40/60 = 2/3 hour

Given A alone can fill the tank of capacity 240 lit in 16 hrs.

=> A can fill in 1 hr = 240/16 = 15 lit

=> B alone can fill the tank of capacity 240 lit in 12 hrs.

=> B can fill in 1 hr = 240/12 = 20 lit

Now, (A + B) in 1 hr = 15 + 20 = 35 lit

But they are opened for 2 hrs

=> 2 x 35 = 70 lit rae filled

Remaining water to be filled in tank of 240 lit = 240 - 70 = 170 lit.
