Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let the required number be 'p'

We know, sum of angles in a triangle are 180 deg

According to given data,

p - p/7 = 180

7p - p = 180 x 7

=> 6p = 1260

=> p = 1260/6 = 210

The given inequality is 3p - 16 < 20

For solving this inequality, follow these steps

Now add 16 on both sides

we get 3p - 16 + 16 < 20 + 16

=> 3p  < 36

Now divide the above eqn with 3 on both sides

we get, 3p/3 < 36/3

p < 12.

Jar A has 36 litres of mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio of 5 : 4 => Quantity of milk in Jar A = 5/9 x 36 = 20 litres Quantity of water in Jar A = 36 - 20 = 16 litres Let quantity of water in Jar B = x litres => Quantity of milk in Jar B = (20 - x) litres Acc. to ques, =>[20 + (20-x)]/(16+x) = 5/3 => 120−3x = 80+5x => 5x +3x = 120−80 => 8x = 40 => 5 litres.

Let the required number be 'p'.

From the given data,

p + 12 = 160 x 1/p

=> p + 12 = 160/p

=> p(p + 12) = 160

=> P^2 + 12p - 160 = 0

=> p^2 + 20p - 8p - 160 = 0

=> P(p + 20) - 8(p + 20) = 0

=> (p + 20)(p - 8) = 0

=> p = -20 or p = 8

As, given the number is a natural number, so it can't be negative.

Hence, the required number p = 8.

Let the required two numbers be a, b

From the given data,

2a + 3b = 36 .....(1)

3a + 2b = 39 .....(2)

Now, by solving 1 and 2 eqnts, we get

5a = 45

a = 9 ....(3)

Put (3) in (1), we get

2(9) + 3b = 36

=> 18 + 3b = 36

3b = 36 - 18

=> b = 18/3 = 6

Required, difference between the numbers = a + b = 9 + 6 = 15.

The Word LOGARITHMS  contains 10 letters.

To find how many 4 letter words we can form from that = P410 =10x9x8x7 = 5040.

Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y kmph.

Then, distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4 hrs.

		x x 8	4		= (y x 4)
			5

	44	x =4y
	5

y =	11	x.
	5

Required ratio =		y + x		:		y - x
		2				2

=		16x	x	1		:		6x	x	1
		5		2				5		2

   = 8 : 3.

Given  65×359×113

⇒2×35×5×79×113 

⇒25×35×59×79×113

Thus, there are (5 + 5 + 9 + 9 + 3)= 31 prime numbers.
