Question 1

A piece of ribbon 4 yards long is used to make a bow requiring 15 inches of ribbon for each. What is the maximum number of bows that can be made?

A	8
B	11
C	10
D	9

Question 1 Explanation:

To find maximum number of bows that can be made
1 yard = 36 inches
4 yards = 4*36=144 inches
No.of maximum bows that can be made = 144/15 = 9.6
So maximum 9 bows can be made

Question 2

Statements: I) A huge truck overturned on the middle of the road last night II) The police had cordoned of entire area in the locality this morning for half of the day

A	Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
B	Both the statement I and II are independent causes
C	Both the statement I and II are effects of independent causes
D	Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect
E	Both the statement I and II are effects of some common cause

Question 2 Explanation:

Since a huge truck overturned on the middle of the road last night
so, the police had cordoned off the entire area in the locality last morning for half of the day

Question 3

Writing ?

A	Author
B	Pen
C	Novel
D	Skills

Question 3 Explanation:

Explanation: The activity or occupation of composing text for publication.

Question 4

Statement: Quality of life of a person is not dependent only on his wealth. Assumptions I) The aim of most people is just to acquire more wealth. II) There are some factors other than wealth which contribute to the quality of life. III) Wealth does not contribute to the quality of life at all.

A	Only II and III are implicit
B	Only I implicit
C	Only I is implicit
D	Only I and II are implicit
E	Only II is implicit

Question 4 Explanation:

Clearly, I does not follow from the statement.
So, it is not implicit. The statement mentions that quality of life does not depend only on wealth.
This means that there are some other factors as well, which govern the quality of life.
But this does not imply that wealth does not contribute at all. So, II is implicit while III is not.

Question 5

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is?

A	50 km/hr
B	54 km/hr
C	45 km/hr
D	55 km/hr

Question 5 Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man = (125 / 10)
= (25/2) m/sec
= (25 / 2 * 18 / 5) km/hr
= 45 km/hr
Let the speed of the train be x km/hr
Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr
x - 5 = 45 => x = 50 km/hr

Question 6

Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is:

A	75
B	85
C	65
D	60

Question 6 Explanation:

since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.
Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.
So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;
First number = 551/29 = 19; Third number = 1073/29 = 37.
Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.

Question 7

The fourth proportional to 5, 8, 15 is ?

A	24
B	20
C	18
D	19

Question 7 Explanation:

Let the fourth proportional to 5, 8, 15 be x
Then, 5 : 8 : 15 : x
5x = (8 x 15)
x = (8 x 15) / 5 = 24

Question 8

Cara, a blue whale participated in a weight loss program at the biggest office. At the end of every month, the decrease in weight from original weight was measured and noted as 1, 2,6,21,86,445,2676. While Cara made a steadfast effort, the weight machine showed an erroneous weight once. What was that?

A	86
B	445
C	2676
D	2

Question 8 Explanation:

This is a number series problem
1, 2,6,21,86,445,2676
The wrong term has to be found out
1 *1+1 = 2
2*2 + 2 = 6
6*3+3 = 21
21*4+4 =88
88*5+5 =445
Hence, 86 is wrong. It should be 88

Question 9

Find the simple interest on Rs. 5000 at a certain rate if the compound interest on the same amount for 2 years is Rs. 253.125?

A	Rs. 500
B	Rs. 100
C	Rs. 250
D	Rs. 400

Question 9 Explanation:

Let the rate of interest be r
5000[1+ r /100]² = 5000 + 253.125
[1+ r /100]² = 5253.125 / 5000
Solving which gives
[1+ r/100]² = 1681 / 1600
1+ r/100 = 41 / 40
r = 2.5
Therefore, SI = 5000 * 2 * 2.5 / 100 = Rs. 250

Question 10

rule	command	dictate
doze	sleep	?

A	Awaken
B	Hibernate
C	Snoar
D	Govern

Question 10 Explanation:

The words above the line show a continuum: Command is more extreme than rule, and dictate is more extreme than command. Below the line, the continuum is as follows: Sleep is more than doze, and hibernate is more than sleep. The other choices are not related in the same way.

Question 11

In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4:5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk the can would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6:5. Find the capacity of the can?

A	40
B	48
C	44
D	52

Question 11 Explanation:

Let the capacity of the can be T litres
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (T - 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 T
6T/11 - 8 = 4/9(T - 8)
10T = 792 - 352 => T = 44

Question 12

The time taken by a boat to travel upstream is twice the time taken by it to travel downstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 9 kmph, find the rate of current?

A	3 kmph
B	2 kmph
C	Data insufficient
D	2.5 kmph

Question 12 Explanation:

The downstream speed should be twice the upstream speed
9+x = 2*(9-x)
X= 3

Question 13

Statement: Exporters in the capital are alleging that commercial banks are violating a Reserve Bank of India directive to operate a post shipment export credit denominated in foreign currency at international rates from January this year. Courses of Action: I) The officers concerned in the commercial banks are to be suspended. II) The RBI should be asked to stop giving such directives to commercial banks.

A	Neither I nor II follow
B	Both I and II follow
C	Either I or II follows
D	Only II follows
E	Only I follows

Question 13 Explanation:

The statement mentions that the commercial banks violate a directive issued by the RBI.
The remedy is only to make the banks implement the Act.
So, none of the courses follows

Question 14

Three pipes A,B, C are attached to a tank. A and B can fill it in 20 and 30 minutes respectively while C can empty it in 15 minutes. If A,B and C are kept open successively for 1 minutes each, how soon will the tank be filled?

A	180 minutes
B	200 minutes
C	178 minutes
D	167 minutes

Question 14 Explanation:

Part of the tank filled in 3 minutes = (1/20) + (1/30) – (1/15) = 1/60
Part filled in 165 minutes = (165/3) * (1/60) = 55/60
Part filled in 167 minutes = (55/60) + (1/20) + (1/30) = 60/60 = 1
The tank is filled in 167 minutes

Question 15

Find the odd man out 396, 462, 572, 427, 671, 264, ?

A	671
B	396
C	264

In each number except 427, the middle digit is the sum of other two

Question 16

Two students appeared at an examination. One of them secured 9 marks more than the other and his marks was 56% of the sum of their marks. The marks obtained by them are:

A	39, 30
B	42, 33
C	41, 32
D	43, 34

Question 16 Explanation:

Let their marks be (x + 9) and x.
Then, x + 9 = 56/100 (x + 9 + x)
25(x + 9) = 14(2x + 9)
3x = 99
x = 33
So, their marks are 42 and 33.

Question 17

Between June 1990 and February 1993, how many months have 31 days ?

A	19
B	18
C	20
D	17

Question 17 Explanation:

In a year, 7 months have 31 days
From Jun ’90 to Feb ‘93
(4 in ‘90) + (7 in ‘91) + (7 in ‘92) + (1 in ‘93) = 19

Question 18

A vender by selling 12 toffee for a rupee. A man loses 20%. How many for a rupee should he sell to get a gain of 20%?

A	12
B	8
C	20
D	10

Question 18 Explanation:

12 toffee for rs 1 loss 20% then
C.P = 1 * 100/80 = 5/4 on this price we have to gain profit of 20%
So, 5/4 * 120/100 = 3/2
If for Rs. 2/3 we have 12 toffee then for rs 1 we have
= 12 x 2/3
= 8

Question 19

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'LEADING' be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together?

A	480
B	5040
C	360
D	720

Question 19 Explanation:

The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.
When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).
Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

Question 20

What is the probability of getting a sum 9 from two throws of a dice ?

A	1/6
B	1/12
C	1/9
D	1/8

Question 20 Explanation:

In two throws of a dice, n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36
Let E = event of getting a sum ={(3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3)}
Therefore, n(E) / n(S) = 4 / 36 = 1/ 9

C	0.8
D	2.4.

Question 23 Explanation:

(0.0203 x 2.92) / (0.0073 x 14.5 x 0.7) = (203 x 292) / (73 x 145 x 7) = 4/5 = 0.8

Question 24

If A + B means A is the mother of B; A - B means A is the brother B; A % B means A is the father of B and A x B means A is the sister of B, which of the following shows that P is the maternal uncle of Q?

A	Q - S % P
B	P - M + N x Q
C	Q - N + M x P
D	P + S x N - Q

Question 24 Explanation:
