Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Increase in volume = Volume of the cube = (15 x 15 x 15) cm3.

\Rise in water level = volume/area = (15 x 15 x 15)/(20 x 15) cm = 11.25 cm.

1 man's 1 day work = 1/108
12 men's 6 day's work = 1/9 x 6 = 2/3

Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

16 men's 1 day work = 1/108 x 16 = 4/27
4/27 work is done by them in 1 day.

1/3 work is done by them in 27/4 x 1/3 = 9/4 days.

A has to pay = Present worth of Rs220 due 1yr hence  

= Rs.[(220 x 100)/100+(10 x 1)] = Rs.200 

A actually pays = Rs.110+PW  of Rs.110 due 2 yrs hence 

= [110+(110 x 100)] / [100+(10 x 2)] = Rs.192.66  

So, A gains Rs. (200-192.66) = Rs.7.34

Using, Crn=Cn-rn we get 

n – 10 = 12

or, n = 12 + 10 = 22

Let the salaries of Maneela and Shanthi one year before be M1, S1 & now be M2, S2 respectively.

Then, from the given data,

M1/S1 = 3/4  .....(1)

M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2)

S1/S2 = 2/3  .....(3)

and M2 + S2 = 4160  .....(4)

Solving all these eqtns, we get M2 = Rs. 1600.

LCM of (80, 85, 90) can be found by prime factorizing them.

80 → 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5

85 → 17 × 5

90 → 2 × 3 × 3 × 5

L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 2 × 2 x 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 17

= 16 x 9 x 85

= 144 x 85

= 12240

L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 12240.

By investing Rs. 1552, income = Rs. 128.

By investing Rs. 97, income =Rs.1281552×97= Rs. 8.

Dividend = 8%

Given the ratio of efficiencies of P, Q & R are 3 : 8 : 5

Let the efficiencies of P, Q & R be 3x, 8x and 5x respectively

They can do work for 12 days.

=> Total work = 12 x 16x = 192x

Now, the required time taken by Q to complete the job alone = 162x8x = 24days.
