Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Here, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...., 19, 20}=> n(s) = 20
Let E = event of getting a multiple of 4 or 15
=multiples od 4 are {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}
And multiples of 15 means multiples of 3 and 5
= {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 15, 20}.
= the common multiple is only (15).
=> E = n(E)= 6
Required Probability = P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 6/20 = 3/10.

Bleak means an area of land lacking vegetation and exposed to the elements like deserts.

Given:j=7% compounded semiannually making m=2 and i = j/m= 7%/2 = 3.5%
Let x represent the third payment. Then the second payment must be 2x.
PV1,PV2, andPV3 represent the present values of the first, second, and third payments.

Since the sum of the present values of all payments equals the original loan, then
PV1 + PV2  +PV3
=$4000 -------(1)

PV1
  =FV/(1 + i)^n
=$1000/(1.035)^4=
$871.44

At first, we may be stumped as to how to proceed for
PV2 and PV3. Let’s think about the third payment of x dollars. We can compute the present value of just $1 from the x dollars

pv=1/(1.035)^10=0.7089188

PV2
  =2x * 0.7089188 =
1.6270013x
PV3
  =x * 0.7089188=0.7089188x
Now substitute these values into equation ➀ and solve for x.
$871.442 + 1.6270013x + 0.7089188x
=$4000

2.3359201x
=$3128.558

x=$1339.326
Kramer’s second payment will be 2($1339.326)
=$2678.65, and the third payment will be $1339.33

Nothing can be deduced regarding the effect of reapirs of office building on efficency of workers,or the requirement of funds for repairs,from the given statement.So,neither 1 nor 2 is true

Reduction in consumption
= P100+P X 100%
= 25100+25 X 100%
= 20%

Given that,

 working days = 5

 working hours = 8

 A man get rupess per hour is Rs.2.40

 So in one day the man get total rupees is 2.40 x 8 = 19.2

 So in 5 days week the man get total rupees is 19.2 x 5 = 96

 So in 4 week the man get total rupees is 96 x 4 = 384

 So the man worked for = 160hours in 4 weeks

 But given that the man earned Rs.432

 Hence remaning money is (432-384 = 48)which is earn by doing overtime work

Overtime hours  = 48/3.20 = 15

So total worked hours is = 15 + 160 = 175.

Physiology is a branch of biology. Similarly, mathematics is a branch of philosophy.

Hence, Physiology : Biology :: Metaphysics : Philosophy.
