Aptitude Interview Questions

3. Question 3. The Straight Line 2x + 3y = 12 Passes Through:

   Answer :

   The usual way to solve these type of questions is to put x = 0 once and find y coordinate. This would represent the point where the line cuts the Y axis.

   Similarly put y = 0 once and find x coordinate. This would represent the point where the line cuts the X axis. Then join these points and you will get the graph of the line.

   So when we put x = 0 we get y = 4.

   When we put y = 0 we get x = 6.

   So when we join these points we see that we get a line in 1st quadrant, which when extended both sides would go to 4th and 2nd quadrants.

4. Question 4. In Δabc, ∠a + ∠b = 65°, ∠b + ∠c = 140°, Then Find ∠b.

   Answer :

   ∠A + ∠B = 65°

   ∴ ∠C = 180° - 65° = 115°

   ∠B + ∠C = 140°

   ∴ ∠B = 140° - 115° = 25°

5. Question 5. A Person Starts Writing All 4 Digits’ Numbers. How Many Times Had He Written The Digit 2?

   Answer :

   Number of 2‘s at unit’s place (from 100-1 to 999-2) = 900

   Number of 2‘s at tenths place (xy2z) xy will vary from 10 – 99 (90 nos) and z from 0-9 (10 nos) so total 90*10 = 900

   Number of 2‘s at hundreds place(x2yz) x will vary from 1-9(9 ways) & yz from 00-99(100 ways) so total 9*100 =900

   Number of 2‘s at thousands place(2xyz) xyz will vary from 000-999 so total = 1000

   Therefore, total number of 2‘s = (900+900+900+1000) =3700.

6. Question 6. 2 Workers, One Old And One Young, Live Together And Work At The Same Office. The Old Man Takes 30 Mins Whereas The Young Man Takes Only 20 Mins To Reach The Office. When Will The Young Man Catch Up The Old Man, If The Old Man Starts At 10.00am And The Young Man Starts At 10.05am?

   Answer :

   Let the speed of old man be: x m/min and that of young man be: y m/min

   If the distance of the office be D meter, then A/c: D = 30x = 20y or y = 1.5x

   Let young man catches old man after ‘t’ mins.

   So distance travelled by young man is ‘t’min = ty = 1.5tx

   And distance travelled by old man in ‘t+5’min = (t+5) x = tx + 5x

   Therefore, A/c: 1.5tx = tx + 5x or 0.5tx = 5x or t = 10min

   So young man catches the old man at 10:05 AM + 10min i.e 10:15 min

   Alternate method

   Old man takes 30 min i.e. he travels from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM

   Young man takes 20 min i.e. he travels from 10:05 AM to 10:25 AM

   From symmetry; they will meet in mid-way of the journey at 10:15 AM.

   A leap year has 366 days, therefore 52 weeks (i.e. 52 Friday’s) + 2 days.

   So the probability of 53 Fridays = 2/7.

9. Question 9. A Two Digit Number Is 18 Less Than The Square Of The Sum Of Its Digits. How Many Such Numbers Are There?

   Answer :

   As the square of sum of digits is 18 more than that of the number, so the square of the sum of digit must be greater than or equal to 28 (18+10 as 10 is the smallest 2-digit number) and should be less than or equal to 117 (18+99 as 99 is the largest two-digit number)

   So the possible squares are:

   36 and hence the possible number can be (36-18) =18 or (1+8)2 = 81 =! 36 and hence not possible.

   49 and hence the possible number can be (49-18) =31 or (3+1)2 = 16 =! 49 and hence not possible.

   64 and hence the possible number can be (64-18) =46 or (4+6)2 = 100 = 81 =! 64 and hence not possible.

   81 and hence the possible number can be (81-18) =63 or (6+3)2 = 81 = 81 and hence possible.

   100 and hence the possible number can be (100-18) =82 or (8+2)2 = 100 = 100 and hence not possible.

   So only 2 possible values i.e. 63 and 82.

10. Question 10. A Boy Is Cycling Such That The Wheel Of The Cycle Are Making 420 Revolutions Per Minute. If The Diameter Of The Wheel Is 50 Cm, Find The Speed Of The Boy.

    Answer :

    Diameter = 50 cm hence radius(r) = 50/2 cm

    Therefore; Circumference of cycle = 2*22/7*r

    As number of revolutions per minute = 420

    Therefore; Speed = 2*(22/7) *[25/(100*1000)]*60*420 km/hr

    = 396/10 km/hr

    = 39.6 km/hr.

11. Question 11. B Moves By Taking 3 Steps Forward And 1 Step Backward (each Step In One Second )He Walks Up A Stationary Escalator In 118 Sec. However On Moving Escalator He Takes 40 Sec To Reach Top .find Speed Of Escalator.

    Answer :

    As B moves 3 steps forward and then 1 step backward so in total 4 seconds he moves only 2 steps forward so in 116 seconds he moves 58 steps forward now in next 2 seconds he moves 2 steps so in 118 seconds he moves total 60 steps forward.

    So no. of steps required to reach the top of the escalator is 60.

    now let d escalator moves a steps per second so in 4 seconds B moves 2 steps (3steps forward and 1 step backward)in these 4 sec. escalator moves 4a step so in 4 sec. B moves a total of 2+4a step.

    so in 40 second total move=10*(2+4a)

    so, 10*(2+4a) =60

    hence a=1step/sec.

12. Question 12. A And B Completed A Work Together In 5 Days. Had A Worked At Twice The Speed And B At Half The Speed, It Would Have Taken Them Four Days To Complete The Job. How Much Time Would It Take For A Alone To Do The Work?

    Answer :

    As A and B completed a work together in 5 days

    Work done by them in a day (A + B), 1/5

    with twice the speed of A and half the speed of B , they completes the work in 4 days,

    so, their work per day (2A + B/2) = 1/4

    by solving both the eqns: 2(2A+B/2) – (A+B) = 3A = 2*1/4 – 1/5 = 3/10

    or 1-day work of A = 1/10

    so A alone can complete the work in 10 days.

13. Question 13. If Given Equation Is 137+276=435, How Much Is 731+672=.... Find The Result.

    Answer :

    In decimal number system; 137 + 276 = 413 but here its 435 (> 413) so the base system should be less than 10 and as the highest digit in the sum is 7 so the base must be greater than 7.

    Add the LSB; 7+6 = 5 (there must be a carry) 

    So 7 + 6 = 5 + 8(1 carry is forwarded) and hence the it is in octal number system.

    Therefore: 731 + 672 = 1623.

23. Question 23. Car A Leaves City C At 5 Pm And Drives At A Speed Of 40 Kmph. 2 Hours Later Another Car B Leaves City C And Drives In The Same Direction As Car A. In How Much Time Will Car B Be 9 Km Ahead Of Car A. Speed Of Car B Is 60 Kmph.

    Answer :

    Let after t time two cars will met.

    So A will travel distance of 40t with 40kmph

    B will travel the distance of 60t with 60kmph

    And also A is ahead 80 km (40*2=80) from B

    => 60t - 40t = 80 => t = 4hrs

    Also time taken by B to cover 9kms more is 9/60 = 9mins

    Additional distance is 9 min

    For additional time= (9/20) *60=27 min

    So correct answer = 4hrs 27 min

    = 4 (27/60) hrs = 4.45 hrs

24. Question 24. The Water From One Outlet, Flowing At A Constant Rate, Can Fill The Swimming Pool In 9 Hours. The Water From Second Outlet, Flowing At A Constant Rate Can Fill Up The Same Pool In Approximately In 5 Hours. If Both The Outlets Are Used At The Same Time, Approximately What Is The Number Of Hours Required To Fill The Pool?

    Answer :

    Assume tank capacity is 45 Liters.

    Given that the first pipe fills the tank in 9 hours. So its capacity is 45 / 9 = 5 Liters/ Hour. 

    Second pipe fills the tank in 5 hours. So its capacity is 45 / 5 = 9 Liters/Hour. 

    If both pipes are opened together, then combined capacity is 14 liters/hour. 

    To fill a tank of capacity 45 liters, both pipes takes 45 / 14 = 3.21 Hours.

25. Question 25. Sum Of Three-digit Number Is 17. Sum Of Squared Of Digits Of The Given Num Is 109. If We Subtract 495 From That Num We Will Get A Number Written In Square Order. Find The Num?

    Answer :

    Let the nos be: abc

    As sum of the digit is 17. Therefore, a+b+c=17----(1)

    Also sum of square of digits is 109 i.e a^2+b^2+c^2=109----(2)

    Also, (100a+10b+c) – 495 = (100c+10b+a)

    or, (100a – a) + (10b – 10b) + (c – 100c) = 495

    or, 99 (a-c) =495 or (a - c) = 495

    The possible combinations are (6,1) (7,2) (8,3), (9,4)

    For 1st combination (6,1); b = (17 – 6 - 1) = 10 which is not possible

    For 2nd combination (7,2); b = (17 – 7 - 2) = 8 but a^2+b^2+c^2 =! 109 so not possible

    For 3rd combination (8,3) ; b = (17 – 8 - 3) = 6 also a^2+b^2+c^2 = 109 so it is possible

    so,863 is the answer.

30. Question 30. Two Merchants Sell An Article Each For Rs.1000.one Of Them Computes Profit As A % Of Cost Price, While The Second Calculates It Incorrectly As A % Of Selling Price. If Both Of Them Claim To Have Made A Profit Of 10%, Who Made More Profit And By What Amount?

    Answer :

    Selling Price of Article = Rs. 1000

    For 1st merchant, 10% profit is on C.P or C.P + Profit = S.P

    Therefore 1.1 * C.P = Rs.1000 or C.P = Rs. 909.1 and Profit = Rs. 90.9

    For 2nd merchant, 10% profit is on S.P i.e. Profit = 0.10 * Rs 1000 = Rs. 100

    so the profit of 2nd merchant is higher than the 1st merchant by Rs. (100 – 90.9) = Rs. 9.1 (approx.).
