QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE
1. Two numbers when divided by a certain divisor leave remainders of 431 and 379 respectively.
When the sum of these two numbers is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 211. What is
the divisor?

1. 599
2. 600
3. 601
4. 602

Ans. A
Explanation:-
Let A be the divisor,
X and Y be the two numbers.
X = Ax + 431
Y = Ay + 379
X + Y = Az + 211 = A(x + y) + 810
or A (z - x - y) = 810 - 211 = 599

2. A and B together have Rs.1,210. If (4/15)th of A's amount is equal to (2/5)th of B's amount,
then how much amount does B have?

1. 489
2. 484
3. 490
4. 450

Ans.B
Explanation;-
Let B has x amount
A = 1210 - x
(4/15)(1210 - x) = (2/5)x
(2/3)(1210 - x) = x
2420 - 2x = 3x
5x = 2420 or x = 484

3. If taxi fares were Rs 1.00 for the first 1/5 mile and Rs 0.20 for each 1/5 miles thereafter. The
taxi fare for a 3-mile ride was
(A)Rs 1.56
(B)Rs 2.40
(C)RS 3.00
(D)Rs 3.80
(E)Rs 4.20
Answer :d)Rs 3.80
Explanation:-
first 1/5 mile costs = 1.00
remaining miles to be covered = 3-1/5 =14/5, =1/5 +1/5+1/5+.... until 14,
hence 14*0.20=2.80
total fare = 2.80 + 1.00 =3.80

4. A computer routine was developed to generate two numbers (x,y) the first being a random
number between 0 and 100 inclusive, and the second being less than or equal to the square
root of the first.Each of the following pair satisfies the routine EXCEPT
A.(99.10)
B.(85.9)
C.(50.7)
D.(1.1)
E.(1.0)
Answer : A) (99.10)
Explanation:-
We know that the square root of 100 is 10, n so square root 99 is less den 10. so ans is a.

5.A warehouse had a square floor with area 10,000 sq.meters. A rectangular addition was built
along one entire side of the warehouse that increased the floor by one-half as much as the
original floor. How many meters did the addition extend beyond the original buildings ?
(A)10
(B)20
(C)50
 TELEGRAM:- https://t.me/CRACKKIT

(D)200
(E)500

Ans: c)50
Explanation:-

Area of warehouse = 10,000 sq. m

Side of square = L
Area = 10,000
L^2 = 10,000
L = 100 m
After addition its increases one-half.
i.e. one side become = 100 + 50 = 150 m
Increase = 50 m.

6. A digital wristwatch was set accurately at 8.30 a.m and then lost 2 seconds every 5
minutes. What time was indicated on the watch at 6.30 p.m of the same day if the watch
operated continuously that time ?
(A)5:56
(B)5:58
(C)6.00
(D)6.23
(E)6.26
Answer :E) 6.26
Explanation:-
8.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. takes 10 hr.

In 5 min watch loses 2 sec

1 min loses 2/5 sec
60 min loses=(2/5)*60 sec
10*60 min loses=(2/5)*60*10 sec
10 hr loses=240 sec i.e.4 min loses
so,6.26

7. A 5 liter jug contains 4 liters of a salt water solution that is 15 percent salt. If 1.5 litres of
 TELEGRAM:- https://t.me/CRACKKIT

the solution spills out of the jug, and the jug is then filled to capacity with water,
approximately
what percent of the resulting solution in the jug is salt?
(A)7.5%
(B)9.5%
(C) 10.5%
(D)12%
(E)15%
Answer :A)7.5%
Explanation:-
5 litre jug contains 4 litres of salt water solution
with 15% of salt, that means it has 4000*.15 = 600 ml salt
in it.
If 1.5 litres solution is spills out, remaining solution
is 2.5 litres, then the salf content is 2500*.15 = 375ml.
Now, the jug is filled to full capacity with water i.e.,
now the jug has 5 litre solution in it.
Now, the salt content is 375/5000 = 7.5%

8. A millionaire bought a job lot of hats 1/4 of which were brown.The millionaire sold 2/3 of
the hats including 4/5 of the brown hats. What fraction of the unsold hats were brown.
(A) 1/60
(B) 1/15
(C) 3/20
(D) 3/5
(E) 3/4
Answer :c)3/20
Explanation:-
If initially he had x hats.
x/4 were brown.

sold x*2/3 hats. left with x/3 hats.

sold (x/4)*((4/5) = x/5 brown hats and left with x/4-x/5= x/20 brown hats.

Fraction of brown hats in total remaining hats = (x/20)/(x/3) = 3/20 hats

9.An investor purchased a shares of stock at a certain price. If the stock increased in price Rs
0.25 per share and the total increase for the x shares was Rs 12.50, how many shares of stock had
been purchased ?
1. 25
2. 50
3. 75
4. 100
Ans:- b
Explanation:-
increase in 1 share = Rs. 0.25
increase in x shares =Rs.12.50
so x=12.50/0.25 =50

10. Working independently, Tina can do a certain job in 12 hours.Working independently, Ann

1.A monkey climbs 30 feet at the beginning of each hour and rests for a while when he slips back
20 feet before he again starts climbing in the beginning of the next hour. If he begins his ascent at
8.00 a.m., at what time will he first touch a flag at 120 feet from the ground.

1. 5 PM
2. 6 PM
3. 7 PM
4. 8 PM

Ans. B
For every hour monkey climbs 30 feet and slips 20 feet, (30-20) = 10 feet per hour.
Therefore, the monkey reaches to 90 feet in 9 hours
At the beginning of 10th hour, the monkey reaches 120 feet.
Since 90 feet (for 9 hours) + 30 feet (beginning of 10th hour).
Therefore total time taken for the monkey to climb 120 feet = 10 hours.
If the monkey starts in the morning at 8:00 AM, then it reaches 120 feet at 6:00 PM

3.. We, at Comfort Stationers, have always been striving to provide

stationery items that would make your work more enjoyable and less
strenuous. Our latest innovations are a smooth-flow pen and gradual-
friction paper. A combination of these two reduces strain on your fingers
and allows faster writing the causes lesser fatigue. Therefore, replacement
of your pen and paper with ourinnovative products reduces cost of clerical
jobs.
Which of the following, if true, would weaken the conclusion drawn in the
above argument?
A.Those who are already using the above new products report greater
difficulty in transition from new products to regular ones than from the
 TELEGRAM:- https://t.me/CRACKKIT

regular ones tothe new ones.

B.The cost of manufacturing these new products is not more than the cost
of manufacturing the regular ones and the new products last longer than
the regular ones.
C.The number of offices using the new products is increasing month by
month.
D.These products need to be purchased in huge lots and need to be
storedin special conditions. The cost of procurement and strong is
quite high.
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The passage talks about the advantages in writing by using the new
kind of pen and paper and arrives at a conclusion about the cost of
clerical job. We have to show that the new products do not lead to
decrease in cost of clerical job.
None of the choice (a), (c) and (e) has anything about the cost. Hence,
none of them weakens the conclusion.
Choice (b) states that the new products can be manufactured and they also
last longer. This information strengthens the conclusion.
According to choice (d) the procurement and storage costs are very high.
This casts a doubt on the conclusion that the cost of clerical job can be
decreased by using these new products. Hence, (d) weakens the
conclusion.

production capacity at its existing plants.

A.If 'A' is the effect and 'B' is its immediate and principlecause.
B.If 'B' is the effect and 'A' is its immediate and principlecause.
C.If 'A' is the effect but 'B' is not its immediate and principle cause.
D.If 'B' is the effect but 'A' is not its immediate and principle cause.
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Events (A) and (B) are related events and chronologically (B) occurs before
(A) and because of as they are planning to increase capacity, they have to
make a plan to sell their products also so they open new offices for
marketing those products.
But opening an office in a particular city, requires other events such as
market survey etc. It is not the immediate and principle cause.
