Quantitative Aptitude 7. Answer: (D)

Ratio of distance covered by 'B' to that covered by 'C'
1. Answer: (B) = (600 - 60):(600 - 120) = 540:480 = 9:8
So, ratio of speeds of 'C' to that of 'B' = 8:9
So, distance covered by 'C' when 'B' covers 900
metres = 900 × (8/9) = 800 metres
So, 'C' will finish the race 100 metres behind 'B'.
8. Answer: (C)
Required difference = 4800 × {(22 + 19 - 24)/100}
= 816
9. Answer: (A)
x + y = - 3 ….(1)
On cubing equation (1), we get
𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 + 3𝑥𝑦(𝑥 + 𝑦) = −27
Since BD is angle bisector, ∠ABD = ∠CBD = 18o 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 + 3𝑥𝑦(−3) = −27
Now in ΔADB, ∠ADB = 180o - ∠BAD - ∠ABD 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 − 9𝑥𝑦 = −27
= 180o - 42o - 18o = 120o Putting value of equation (2) in
So, ∠CDB = 180o - 120o = 60o (x3 + y3 −9xy +9x3 + y3 -9xy +9 ), we get
Now in ΔDBC, DC = 30 and BD = 24 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 − 9𝑥𝑦 + 9
So, required area = (1/2) × sin 60o × (30 × 24) = −27 + 9 = −18
= 180√3 cm2 10. Answer: (D)
2. Answer: (A) Total letters = 6
Since, (x3 - y3) = (x - y)(x2 + y2 + xy) No letter is repeated.
Or, 63 = 3 × (x2 + y2 + xy) So the answer = !6 = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720
Or, (63/3) = [(x - y)2 + 3xy] {Since, (x - y)2 = x2 + y2 - Hence, Option D is correct.
2xy] 11. Answer: (D)
Or, 3xy = 21 - 9 Let the sum invested be Rs. 'P'
Or, xy = (12/3) = 4 Amount received at the end of 8 years = P × 3
Since, (x - y) 2 = x2 + y2 - 2xy = Rs. 3P
So, 9 = x2 + y2 - 2 × 4 So, interest earned = 3P - P = Rs. 2P
Or, x2 + y2 = 17 Let the rate of interest be 'r%' p.a.
3. Answer: (A) So, 2P = {(P × r × 8)/100}
cosec5q = sec(90o - 5q) Or, r = 25
Or, Sec (90o - 5q) = sec(q + 12o) Therefore, required rate of interest = 25% p.a.
Or, 90 - 5q = q + 12o 12. Answer: (A)
Or, 6q = 78o Cost price of laptop = Rs. 10,000
Or, q = 13o Repairing cost = Rs. 5,000
4. Answer: (A) So, effective cost price of Laptop = 10000 + 5000
Let the sum invested in given two schemes be Rs. 'x' = Rs. 15,000
each Profit = 20000 - 15000 = Rs. 5,000
Interest received from scheme 'A' = {(0.045 × 2 × x) = Profit percentage = (5000/15000) × 100 = (100/3)%
Rs. 0.09x 13. Answer: (D)
Interest received from scheme 'B' = {(0.075 × 2 × x)} = Let LCM = a and HCF = b
Rs. 0.15x According to the question,
According to the questions, a = 56b and a + b = 1710
0.15x - 0.09x = 900 So, we get 56b + b = 1710
Or, 0.06x = 900 57b = 1710
Or, x = (900/0.06) = 15000 b = 30
So, the sum invested by Ram = Rs. 15000 a = 56b = 56(30) = 1680
5. Answer: (B) Let second number = y
Let the total work = L.C.M of 48 and 20 = 240 units As we know that,
Then, efficiency of 'A' alone = 240 ÷ 48 = 5 units/day First number × Second number = LCM × HCF
Combined efficiency of 'A' and 'B' = 240 ÷ 20 = 12 240 × y = 1680 × 30
units/day y = 210
So, efficiency of 'B' alone = 12 - 5 = 7 units/day 14. Answer: (D)
So, work done by 'B' alone in 30 days = 7 × 30 = 210 (16 of 8 × 8 ÷ 8 of 4) - {(1/2) of 4 - 16 + 8 - 4 × 8 + 64}
units = (128 × 8 ÷ 32) - (2 - 16 + 8 - 32 + 64)
Remaining work = 240 - 210 = 30 units = 32 - 26 = 6
So, time taken by 'A' alone to complete the remaining 15. Answer: (A)
work = 30 ÷ 5 = 6 days Let the numerator of the original fraction be 'x'
6. Answer: (A) Then, the denominator of the original fraction will be
Amount invested by 'P' = 10400 × (7/13) = Rs. 5,600 (x + 2)
So, interest received by 'P' = 5600 × 20 × 2 ÷ 100 = ATQ,
Rs. 2,240 = [(x + 4)/(x + 2 + 4)] = (9/11)
Amount invested by 'Q' = 10400 - 5600 = Rs. 4,800 Or, 11x + 44 = 9x + 18 + 36
So, interest received by 'Q' = 4800 × {1 + (15/100)} 2 - Or, 2x = 10
4800 Or, x = 5
= Rs. 1,548 So, numerator of the fraction = x = 5
Therefore, required difference = 2240 - 1548 = Rs. The denominator of the fraction = x + 2 = 5 +2 = 7
692 Original fraction = (5/7)
Required number = 140 × (5/7) + 20 = 120
16. Answer: (A)
Let cost price of the article is Rs. 100x

Selling price of the article = 1.123 × 100x – Rs. 123x 24. Answer: (B)
Marked price of the article = 123x/0.82 = Rs. 150x
1 1
According to question; √ 4 +
23x = 18.40 cos ⁡(90∘ − 𝑥) sin2 ⁡(90∘ − 𝑥) − 1
So, x = 0.8 = √[(1/sin4x) + 1/(cos2x – 1)] (Since, sin(90o – x) =
Marked price = 150 × 0.8 = Rs. 120 cosx and cos(90o – x) = sinx
17. Answer: (B) = √[(1/sin4x) – (1/sin2x)] (since, 1 – cos2x = sin2x)
Total exports of cars of type A in 2014 and 2017 = = √[(1 – sin2x)/sin4x]
200 + 175 = 375 = √[cos2x/sin4x]
Total exports of cars of type B in 2015 and 2016 = = cosx/sin2x = (cosx/sinx) × (1/sinx) = cotx × cosecx
250 + 200 = 450 25. Answer: (D)
Desired ratio = 375 : 450 = 5 : 6 Let , the rise of water level = a
18. Answer: (B) According to the question,
Let age of 'A', 4 years ago from now = '4x' years Volume of cube = Length of rectangle × Breadth of
Age of 'B', 6 years hence from now = (5/4) × 4x = '5x' rectangle × a
years 8 × 8 × 8 = 16 × 8 × a
Present age of 'A' = (4x + 4) years h = 4 cm
Present age of 'B' = (5x - 6) years
ATQ; Reasoning Aptitude
4x + 4 + 3 = (3/2) × (5x - 6 - 1)
Or, 7x = 35 26. Answer(B):
Or, x = 5 Taj Mahal is located in Agra, which is in Uttar Pradesh
So, present age of 'B' = 5 × 5 - 6 = 19 years Statue of Unity is located in Kevadia, which is in
19. Answer: (B) Gujarat.
Amount spent on petrol = 35000 × 0.2 = Rs. 7,000 27. Answer(C):
Remaining income = 35000 - 7000 = Rs. 28,000 55 - 6 = 49
Amount spent on food = 28000 × 0.3 = Rs. 8,400 49 + 12 = 61
So, amount saved = 28000 - 8400 = Rs. 19,600 61 - 18 = 43
Increased income of Karaj = 35000 + 5000 = Rs. 43 + 24 = 67
40,000 67 - 30 = 37
Savings of Karaj now = 40000 - 8400 - 7000 = Rs. 37 + 36 = 73
24,600 73 - 42 = 31
So, required percentage = (24,600 ÷ 40000) × 100 28. Answer(C):
