Q:

Ten women can do a work in six days. Six men can complete the same work in five days. What is the ratio between the capacity of a man and a woman?

A) 1:2	B) 2:1
C) 2:3	D) 3:2

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:1

Explanation:

(10 * 6) women can complete the work in 1 day.

Therefore, 1 woman's 1 day's work = 1/60

(6 * 5) men can complete the work in 1 day.

Therefore, 1 man's 1 day's work = 1/30

so, required ratio =1/30 : 1/60 = 2:1

Q:

A booster pump can be used for filling as well as for emptying a tank. The capacity of the tank is 2400 $m^{3}$ . The emptying capacity of the tank is 10 $m^{3}$ per minute higher than its filling capacity and the pump needs 8 minutes lesser to empty the tank than it needs to fill it. What is the filling capacity of the pump?

A) 50 m^3/min	B) 60 m^3/min
C) 72 m^3/min	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50 m^3/min

Explanation:

Let the filling capacity of the pump be x $m^{3}$ /min.

Then, emptying capacity of the pump=(x+10) $m^{3}$ /min.

so, $\frac{2400}{x} - \frac{2400}{x + 10} = 8 \Leftrightarrow x^{2} + 10 x - 3000 = 0$

$\Rightarrow (x - 50) + (x + 60) = 0 \Leftrightarrow x = 50$

Q:

Three taps A,B and C can fill a tank in 12,15 and 20 hours respectively. If A is open all the time and B ,C are open for one hour each alternatively, the tank will be full in:

A) 6 hrs	B) 20/3 hrs
C) 7 hrs	D) 15/2 hrs

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7 hrs

Explanation:

$(A + B)' s 1 h o u r w o r k = (\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{15}) = \frac{9}{60} = \frac{3}{20}$

$(A + C)' s 1 h o u r w o r k = (\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{20}) = \frac{8}{60} = \frac{2}{15}$

$p a r t f i l l e d i n 2 h r s = (\frac{3}{20} + \frac{2}{15}) = \frac{17}{60}$

$p a r t f i l l e d i n 6 h r s = (3 * \frac{17}{60}) = \frac{17}{20}$

$r e m a i n i n g p a r t = (1 - \frac{17}{20}) = \frac{3}{20}$

Now, it is the turn of A and B (3/20) part is filled by A and B in 1 hour.

Therefore, Total time taken to fill the tank =(6+1)hrs= 7 hrs

Q:

What have you learned from your studies that can be applied to a career in investment banking?

Answer

You might initially think that if you haven’t done a degree in finance or economics you haven’t got very much to offer an investment bank, but you’d be wrong. Any numerate discipline will have given you a mathematical toolkit that will come in useful in technical banking work, and any good degree proves that you’re intelligent, hardworking, and effective under pressure. Extra-curricular activities may have given you a wealth of other skills that are valuable at an investment bank, such as being able to juggle a number of commitments and work with others.
