Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Putting A=1, B=2, C=3,..., M=13,....,X=24,Y=25, Z=26, we have :

 JR = J + R2 + 2 = 10 + 18 2 + 2 = 16

CK = C + K2 + 2 = 3 + 112 + 2 = 9

TX = T + X2+ 2 = 20 + 242 + 2 = 24

OS = O + S2 + 2 = 15 + 192 + 2 = 19

 So, the missing numbers are :

21 and 14

Hence, the answer is (b).

The one word substitution for a hater of knowledge and learning is Misologist.

Speed of the train relative to man

= (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.

[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.

Let the speed of the train be 'x' km/hr.

Then, relative speed = (x - 4) km/hr.

x - 4 = 45 => x = 49 km/hr.

Mastic is a gum obtained from plants and suet is a fat obtained from animals.

Hence, Mastic : Gum :: Suet : Fat.

Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)
And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems)

Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes

100X + 50(2X) = 180
100X + 100X = 180
200X = 180 min

X = 180/200
X = 0.90 min

By convertiing into seconds,

X = 0.90 x 60 seconds
X = 54 sec

So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds
= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.

P % Q + R - S
=> P is to the East of Q, who is to the North of R, who is to the West of S.
=> Q.....P
      R.....S
=> With respect to Q, S is to the South-East of Q.

Total age seven persons = (26 x 7)years
Total age of the first three persons and the last three persons are (19 x 3) years and (32 x 3) years respectively.
Age of the person sitting in the middle of the row = 26 x 7 - 19 x 3 - 32 x 3 = 182 - 57 - 96 = 29 years.

[15000 *(1+r/100)^2-15000]-(15000*r*2)/100=96

r=8
