Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

No. of bricks= volume of the wall/volume of 1 brick

= (800 x 600 x 22.5) / (25 x 11.25 x 6) = 6400

A : B = 60 : 45.

A : C = 60 : 40.

B/C = (B/A*A/C) = (45/60*60/45) = 45/40 = 90/80 = 90:80

B can give C 10 points in a game of 90.

A : B : C = 7 : 8 : 11.

Hire charges paid by B = Rs. (520 *  8/26) = Rs. 160.

number of cubes=(18 x 18 x 18) / (3 x 3 x 3) = 216

This can be illustrated with an example.

Ex: 1896 is a leap year.The next leap year comes in 1904 (1900 is not a leap year).

There are 6 letters in the given word, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants.

Let us mark these positions as under: 

                                                      (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) 

Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places out 4, marked 1, 3, 5.  

Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 3P3 = 3! = 6.

Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions. 

Number of ways of these arrangements = 3P3 = 3! = 6. 

Total number of ways = (6 x 6) = 36.
