Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let A's age 10 years ago be x years . Then B's age 10 years ago be 2x years

 Total of their present ages = x + 10 + 2x + 10

= 3x+20

= 3 * 5 + 20 = 35 years

On 31st December, 2005 it was Saturday.

Number of Odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 = (1+1+2+1)=5 days.

 On 31st december 2009, It was Thursday

Thus, on 1st Jan, 2010 it is Friday.

If Jason is on th ecouncil,this reduces the selction pool to only 13 people,out of which we still need to select 4.

So, 13C4 = 715

Clearly, Rate = 5% p.a .,

Time = 3 years

S.I =Rs.1200.

So,Principal

=Rs.(100 x 1200/3x5)

=Rs.8000.

Amount

=Rs.[8000 x (1+5/100)³]

=Rs(8000x21/20x21/20x21/20)

= Rs.9261

C.I

=Rs.(9261-8000)

=Rs.1261.

Here 40% of 80 is given as

40100 x 80 = 8 x 4 = 32

Given in municipality election 54% votes have won by 1080

Let the total number of votes be x.

 54x100 - 46x100 = 1080

8x = 108000

x = 13,500

Therefore, total number of votes = 13,500.

Total distance = 150 + 210 = 360 mts

Time taken to cross each other when moving in opposite direction = 10.8 sec

Relative speed of trains = (350/10.8) x 18/5 = 3600/30 = 120 kmph

Speed of shorter train = (150/12) x 18/5 = 45 kmph

Hence, speed of longer train = 120 - 45 = 75 kmph.

Let the required weight be x kg.

Less weight, Less cost (Direct Proportion)

 250 : 200 :: 60 : x   =>    250 x x = (200 x 60)

=>

=> x = 48.
