Zoho Corp Aptitude Questions


Section B – Aptitude
10 questions | 45 minutes
Each question carries one mark
1) In most states in India the law for the sale of alcoholic beverages provides that
beer cannot be sold after a certain hour. However, in some States the law permits
a customer to consume, after the deadline, what has been sold before the curfew.
In a certain bar 2 men ordered sufficient beer to cover their probable
requirements in anticipation of the curfew. One man ordered and paid for 5
bottles and the other man ordered and paid for 3 bottles. But as the curfew
started, an old friend of both the men approached and requested them to share
the eight bottles of beer between them. The friend thanked the two men and put
down Rs 8 in payment for the beer he had consumed, asking them to share the
money in proportion to the quantity of beer they have contributed to him. How
should this money be equitably divided between the two men?
a. Rs 7 and Rs 1

b. Rs 6 and Rs 2

c. Rs 5 and Rs 3

1
d. Rs 4 and Rs 3

Correct Option a
Explanation:

The three men shared the beer equally and so each drank the contents of 2(2/3) bottles.
Therefore the man who had brought 5 bottles contributed 2(1/3) and the man who had
paid for 3 bottles contributed 1/3 of the bottles, to make the third man’s share.

The first man’s contribution is 7 times that of the second and therefore he gets Rs 7 and
the latter Rs 1.

2) Two trains start from two opposite directions towards each other. The stations
from which they start are 50 miles apart. Both the trains start at the same time on
a single track. A falcon which is sitting on one train, starts at the same time
towards the other train , as soon as it reaches the second one, it flies back to the
first train and so on and so forth. It continues to do so, flying backwards and
forwards from one train to the other until the trains meet. Both the trains travel
at a speed of 25 miles per hour, and the bird flies at 100 miles per hour. How
many miles will the falcon have flown before the trains meet?
a. 75 miles

b. 100 miles

c. 150 miles

d. 200 miles

Correct option b
Explanation:

At 25 miles/ hr both trains will take 1 hr to meet or cover the distance of 50 miles.In 1 hr
the falcon can travel 100 miles.

kmph. Had he travelled at the speed of 12 kmph, he would have reached hi

If you light one end of the rope, it will take exactly one hour to burn all the way
to the other end. But it doesn’t have to burn at a uniform rate. The second rope
will also take an hour to burn from one end to the other, but may do it at some
varying rate. Now you are asked to measure a period of 45 minutes. How will you
do it?

10) Four friends (Alfred, Becky, Charlie, and David) wish to cross the old bridge
over the river. However it is dark and the bridge is not very safe. They decide
that no more than two of them may cross at a time and that the people crossing
should carry a torch with them. Alfred is rather nimble on his feet and can cross
the bridge in only one minute. Becky is a bit slower and takes two minutes.
Charlie is a little overweight, so takes four minutes. David is the slowest due to a
sprained ankle. He takes eight minutes. They only have one torch between them,
so when crossing in a pair, they must stick together, thus crossing at the speed of
the slower person. Devise a scheme for the four friends (and their torch) to cross
the river in as short a time as possible.
