Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

We can't determine the last day of the next month which has 31 days because we don't know the days in present month which may be 30 or 31. And the next month may be March which contains 31 days  which implies that the present month may be February which contains 28 or 29 days.

In the first and third statements, the common code word is 'peru' and the common word is 'fine'.

So, 'peru' means 'fine'.

16 : 56 :: 32 : ?

Let the required number be 'n'

The given numbers follow a logic that,

16/56 = 2/7

=> 32/n = 2/7

=> 32 x 7/2 = n

=> n = 112.

Hence, 16 : 56 :: 32 : 112.

We know that, ALpha and Omega are the first and last lettrs of in the Greek alphabet. Hence, alpha is to omega as first is to last.

As both A and B invest the same amounts, the ratio of their profits at the end of the year is equal to the ratio of the time periods for which they have invested.

Thus, the required ratio of their profits = A : B = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3.

Hence, share of A in the total profit = 2 x 25000/5 = Rs.10000

Similarly, share of B in the total profit = 3 x 25000/5 = Rs.15000

Let the speed of river and boat be 'r' m/min and 'b' m/min.
so relative speed in upstream (b-r)m/min and in downstream (b+r)m/min.
Now in upstream distnce covered in 5 min is 5(b-r)miles
so total distnce covered => 1 + 5(b-r)miles in upstream
In downstream distance covered in 5min is 5(b+r)miles
Now 1 + 5(b-r) = 5(b+r)
1+5b-5r = 5b+5r
1 = 10r
r = 1/10 mile/min => 6 mile/hr.
