Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

The incomes of A and B be 3P and 4P.

Expenditures = Income - Savings

(3P - 100) and (4P - 100)

The ratio of their expenditure = 1:2

(3P - 100):(4P - 100) = 1:2

2P = 100 => P = 50

Their incomes = 150, 200

The maximum area of the triangle will come when the given sides are placed at right angles. If we take 8 as the base and 5 as the height the area = ½ x 8 x 5=20

SP of each car is Rs. 404415, he gains 15% on first car and losses 15% on second car.

The difference between 4632 and 20000 is given by subtracting smaler number from the bigger number.

Here the bigger number is 20000

Smaller number is 4632

Now, subtracting 4632 from 20000

20000 - 4632 = 15368 and the resut is an even number.

Hence, The difference between 4632 and 20000 is 15368 and is an even number.

Let distance between A & B = d km
Let speed in still water = x kmph
Let speed of current = y kmph

from the given data,
d/x = 2

From A) we get d
From B) we get d/x+y
From C) we get y

So, Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to give the answer i.e, the speed of upstream.

Here the number of cogs is inveresly proportional to number of revolutions

=> More cogs less revolution
=> 6 : 14 :: x : 21
=> (21x6)/14 = 9

Given ratio of number of sheep and horses = 4 : 15
Let number of sheep and horses are 4k and 15k
Number of horses = 13200/110 = 120
Now 15K = 120 and k = 8
Number of sheep = 4k = (4 x 8) = 32

Let Ramana's age 8 years ago be x years and mother's age 8 years ago be 5x

2(x + 16) = 5x + 16

2x + 32 = 5x + 16

3x = 16 

  years

Hence, Present age of Ramana =  years
