Part 1: Quantitative Aptitude (Q1–Q20)
Q1. A train covers 360 km in 4 hours. What is its average speed?
A) 80 km/hr
B) 85 km/hr
C) 90 km/hr
D) 95 km/hr
Answer: C) 90 km/hr
Explanation:
Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time = 360 ÷ 4 = 90 km/hr.
Always remember: Speed = Distance / Time.
Q2. The ratio of present ages of Ramesh and Suresh is 3:5. After 6 years, their ages will be 5:7. What is Ramesh’s current age?
A) 15 years
B) 18 years
C) 21 years
D) 24 years
Answer: B) 18 years
Explanation:
Let present ages = 3x and 5x. After 6 years:
((3x + 6)/(5x + 6) = 5/7)
Cross multiply: 7(3x + 6) = 5(5x + 6) → 21x + 42 = 25x + 30 → 4x = 12 → x = 3.
Ramesh’s age = 3x = 9. (Note: The key says 18; correct calculation gives 9.)
Q3. A shopkeeper marks an item 30% above cost price and gives 10% discount. What is the profit percentage?
A) 17%
B) 18%
C) 20%
D) 27%
Answer: A) 17%
Explanation:
Let cost price = 100 → Marked price = 130 → Selling price after 10% discount = 130 × 0.9 = 117 → Profit = 117 − 100 = 17 → Profit % = 17%.
Q4. A sum becomes ₹8000 in 2 years and ₹9600 in 3 years at compound interest. Find the rate of interest per annum.
A) 10%
B) 15%
C) 20%
D) 25%
Answer: C) 20%
Explanation:
Interest of 3rd year = 9600 − 8000 = 1600 → Previous year amount = 8000 → Rate = 1600/8000 × 100 = 20% per annum.
Q5. A can finish a work in 12 days, B in 16 days. They work together for 4 days; how much of the work remains?
A) 1/3
B) 1/2
C) 5/12
D) 7/12
Answer: C) 5/12
Explanation:
A’s 1 day work = 1/12, B’s 1 day work = 1/16 → Together = 1/12 + 1/16 = 7/48 per day.
Work done in 4 days = 4 × 7/48 = 28/48 = 7/12 → Remaining = 1 − 7/12 = 5/12.
Q6. The average of five numbers is 27. If one number is removed, the average becomes 25. Find the removed number.
A) 30
B) 35
C) 37
D) 40
Answer: B) 35
Explanation:
Total sum = 5 × 27 = 135 → Remaining sum = 4 × 25 = 100 → Removed number = 135 − 100 = 35.
Q7. A boat can travel 16 km downstream in 2 hours and the same distance upstream in 4 hours. What is the speed of the current?
A) 2 km/hr
B) 3 km/hr
C) 4 km/hr
D) 5 km/hr
Answer: A) 2 km/hr
Explanation:
Downstream speed = 16/2 = 8 km/hr, Upstream speed = 16/4 = 4 km/hr.
Let boat speed = b, current = c → b+c = 8, b−c = 4 → Adding: 2b = 12 → b = 6 → c = 8−6 = 2 km/hr.
Q8. The ratio of income of two persons is 4:7 and their expenses are in ratio 3:5. If each saves ₹6000, find their incomes.
A) ₹16,000, ₹28,000
B) ₹20,000, ₹35,000
C) ₹24,000, ₹42,000
D) ₹28,000, ₹49,000
Answer: C) ₹24,000, ₹42,000
Explanation:
Let incomes = 4x and 7x, expenses = 3y and 5y → Savings = Income − Expense → 4x−3y = 6000, 7x−5y = 6000.
Solve: 20x−15y=30000, 28x−20y=24000 → 80x−60y=120000, 112x−80y=96000 → Solve: x=6000 → incomes 4x=24000, 7x=42000.
Q9. A man sells an article at 15% profit. If he had sold it for ₹15 more, profit would have been 20%. Find cost price.
A) ₹250
B) ₹275
C) ₹300
D) ₹325
Answer: A) ₹250
Explanation:
Let CP = x → SP1 = 1.15x, SP2 = 1.2x → 1.2x − 1.15x = 15 → 0.05x=15 → x=300? Wait double-check. 0.05x=15 → x=300 → correct CP = 300 → key says 250 → correct is 300.
Q10. The simple interest on ₹5000 at 12% per annum for some years is ₹3000. Find the time.
A) 3 years
B) 4 years
C) 5 years
D) 6 years
Answer: C) 5 years
Explanation:
SI = (P × R × T)/100 → 3000 = (5000 × 12 × T)/100 → 3000 = 600T → T = 5 years.
Q11. A can do a job in 10 days, B in 20 days, and C in 30 days. How long will they take together?
A) 4 days
B) 5 days
C) 6 days
D) 7 days
Answer: B) 5 days
Explanation:
A=1/10, B=1/20, C=1/30 → Together/day = 1/10 + 1/20 + 1/30 = (6+3+2)/60=11/60 → Time = 1/(11/60)=60/11≈5.45? Closest integer 5 days (approx).
Q12. A sum of ₹25,000 is invested at 8% compound interest per annum for 2 years. Find the amount.
A) ₹28,000
B) ₹29,160
C) ₹29,250
D) ₹29,400
Answer: B) ₹29,160
Explanation:
CI: A = P(1+r/100)^n → 25000*(1+8/100)^2 = 250001.081.08=25000*1.1664=29160.
Q13. The perimeter of a rectangle is 80 cm, and its length is 25 cm. Find the area.
A) 600 cm²
B) 625 cm²
C) 700 cm²
D) 750 cm²
Answer: A) 600 cm²
Explanation:
Perimeter = 2(l+b)=80 → l+b=40 → b=40−25=15 → Area = lb = 2515=375? Wait key says 600 → correct calculation: Perimeter 80 → (2l+2b=80) → l+b=40 → b=15 → Area=25*15=375. Key seems off. Correct area=375 cm².
Q14. A number exceeds its one-third by 56. Find the number.
A) 72
B) 80
C) 84
D) 90
Answer: C) 84

A) 5 hrs
B) 6 hrs
C) 8 hrs
D) 9 hrs
Answer: B) 6 hrs
Explanation:
Pipe1/day = 1/10, Pipe2/day = 1/15 → Together = 1/10 + 1/15 = (3+2)/30=5/30=1/6 → Time = 6 hours.
Q16. The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 7:5. If there are 240 students, how many girls are there?
A) 90
B) 100
C) 110
D) 120
Answer: D) 120
Explanation:

A) ₹32
B) ₹40
C) ₹64
D) ₹80
Answer: C) 64
Explanation:
Difference = SI for 2nd year = P*(R/100)^2 = 50000.08^2=50000.0064=32? Wait key says 64 → double: 50000.080.08=32 → key seems doubled. Correct difference = 32.
