Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let the number of correct answers be X.

Number of incorrect answers = (60 – X).

4x – (60 – x) = 130

=> 5x = 190 

=> x = 38

A : B = 100 : 90.

A : C = 100 : 87.

B/C = (B/A*A/C) = (90/100*100/87) = 30/29

When B runs 30 m, C runs 29 m.

When B runs 180 m, C runs (29/30*180)m =174m

 B beats C by (180 - 174) m = 6 m.

Given fraction is 5 (2/7) - 3 (1/14) - 2 (1/14) - 1 (1/7) = ? + 3 (1/17) 

It can be written as 

(5 - 3 - 2 - 1) + (2/7 - 1/14 - 1/14 - 1/7) = ? +  3 (1/17) 

-1 + 0 - 3 (1/17) = ?

=> ? = -4 (1/17)

Let the edge = a cm   

So increase by 50 % = a + a/2 = 3a/2  

Total surface Area of original cube = 6a2  

TSA of new cube = 63a22 =69a24=  13.5a2   

Increase in area = 13.5a2-6a2 =7.5a2  

 7.5a2 Increase % =7.5a26a2×100 = 125%

Let their initial investments be x, 3x and 5x respectively. Then,

A:B:C = (x*4+2x*8) : (3x*4+(3x/2)*8) : (5x*4+(5x/2)*8)

20x : 24x : 40x = 5 : 6 : 10          

28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) = 6 odd days

(31[jan] + 28 [Feb]+ 31[Mar] + 30[April] + 28[May] ) = 148 dayss = (21 weeks + 1 day) = 1 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 = 0 odd days.

Given day is Sunday

There are two series, beginning respectively with 3 and 7. In one 3 is added and in another 2 is subtracted.

The next number is 1 - 2 = -1.
