1. Question 1. A Man Takes 5 Hours 45 Min In Walking To A Certain Place And Riding Back. He Would Have Gained 2 Hours By Riding Both Ways. The Time He Would Take To Walk Both Ways Is?

   Answer :

   Given that time taken for riding both ways will be 2 hours lesser than the time needed for waking one way and riding back.

   From this, we can understand that time needed for riding one way = time needed for waking one way - 2 hours.

   Given that time taken in walking one way and riding back = 5 hours 45 min

   Hence the time he would take to walk both ways = 5 hours 45 min + 2 hours = 7 hours 45 min.

2. Question 2. Excluding Stoppages, The Speed Of A Bus Is 54 Kmph And Including Stoppages, It Is 45 Kmph. For How Many Minutes Does The Bus Stop Per Hour?

   Answer :

   Speed of the bus excluding stoppages = 54 kmph.

   Speed of the bus including stoppages = 45 kmph.

   Loss in speed when including stoppages = 54 - 45 = 9kmph.

   => In 1 hour, bus covers 9 km less due to stoppages

   Hence, time that the bus stop per hour = time taken to cover 9 km.

   =distance / speed= 9 / 54 hour = 1/6 hour = 60/6 min=10 min.

3. Question 3. Two Trains Start From A And B Respectively And Travel Towards Each Other At A Speed Of 60 Km/hr. And 75 Km/hr. Respectively. By The Time They Meet, The Second Train Has Traveled 70 Km More Than The First. The Distance Between A And B Is?

   Answer :

   At the time of meeting, let the distance traveled by the first train be x km. 

   Then, distance covered by the second train is (x + 70) km.

   => x/60 = (x + 70)/75.

   => 75x = 60x + 60*70.

   => 15x = 4200 = x = 280 km.

   So, distance between A and B = (x + x + 70) 

   = 280 + 280 + 70 

   = 630 km.

4. Question 4. The Cost Price Of 20 Articles Is The Same As The Selling Price Of X Articles. If The Profit Is 25%, Then The Value Of X Is?

   Answer :

   Let the cost price of 1 article be z.

   So, the cost price of 20 article = 20z ------------------------- (1)

   Selling Price of 20 articles = 20z + 25% of 20z = 25z

   => Selling Price of 1 article = 25z/20 = (5/4) *z

   => Selling Price of x articles = (5/4) *z*x ------------------------- (2)

   Given that Selling Price (S.P.) of x articles = Cost Price (C.P.) of 20 articles

   => (5/4) *z*x = 20z

   => x = 16.

5. Question 5. If Selling Price Is Doubled, The Profit Triples. Find The Profit Percent?

   Answer :

   Let the C.P. be x and the S.P. be y

   So the profit is (y - x) ---------------------------- (1)

   Now, the S.P. is doubled. So the new S.P. = 2y

   The new profit = (2y - x)

   Given that when S.P. is doubled, profit increases 3 times

   => New profit = 3 * old profit

   => (2y - x) = 3(y - x)

   => y = 2x

   So, the profit = (y - x) = (2x - x) = x

   % profit = (x / x) * 100 % = 100%.

Aptitude Interview Questions

6. Question 6. When A Plot Is Sold For Rs. 18,700, The Owner Loses 15%. At What Price Must That Plot Be Sold In Order To Gain 15%?

   Answer :

   Let the C.P. of the plot = Rs. x.

   Given that x - 15% of x = 18700.

   => (85/100) * x = 18700.

   => x = 22000.

   So the cost price (C.P.) of the plot = Rs. 22000.

   S.P. of plot for 15% profit = 22000 + 15% of 22000 = 22000*(115/100) = 25300.

7. Question 7. A Alone Can Do A Piece Of Work In 6 Days And B Alone In 8 Days. A And B Undertook To Do It For Rs. 3200. With The Help Of C, They Completed The Work In 3 Days. How Much Is To Be Paid To C?

   Answer :

   A completes the work in 6 days.

   So, Work done by A in 1 day = 1/6.

   => A's 3-day work = 3/6 = 1/2.

   B completes the work in 8 days

   So, Work done by B in 1 day = 1/8

   => B's 3-day work = 3/8

   The remaining work is done by C.

   So the part of work done by C = 1 - (1/2+ 3/8) = 1/8.

   So, C's share is 18 of 3200 = 3200 * 1/8 = 400.

8. Question 8. A Is Thrice As Good As Workman As B And Therefore Is Able To Finish A Job In 60 Days Less Than B. Working Together, They Can Do It In?

   Answer :

   Let B takes x days to complete the job.

   Since A is 3 times better than B, A takes one third of the time taken by B.

   So, A can finish the job in x/3 days.

   Given that time taken by A to complete the work is 60 days less than that of B

   So, x/3 = x - 60.

   => x = 90.

   So, B does the job in 90 days and A does in (90-60) days = 30 days.

   Fraction of job done by A in 1 day = 1/30 and fraction of job done by B in 1 day = 1/90.

   When working together, work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/30 + 1/90 = 2/45.

   So, total time taken by A and B to complete the work together = 45/2.

9. Question 9. A Can Lay Railway Track Between Two Given Stations In 16 Days And B Can Do The Same Job In 12 Days. With Help Of C, They Did The Job In 4 Days Only. Then, C Alone Can Do The Job In?

   Answer :

   Work done by A in 1 day = 1/16

   Work done by B in 1 day = 1/12

   Let C takes x days to lay railway track between two given stations.

   So work done by C in 1 day = 1/x

   A, B and C together take 4 days to lay the railway track.

   So, in 1 day they complete 14 of the total work together

   So, 1/16 + 1/12 + 1/x = 1/4

   => 1/x = 1/4 - 1/16 - 1/12

   => 1/x = 5/48

   => x = 48/5.

BHEL Interview Questions

10. Question 10. A Train 125 M Long Passes A Man, Running At 5 Km/hr. In The Same Direction In Which The Train Is Going, In 10 Seconds. The Speed Of The Train Is?

    Answer :

    Let the speed of the train be x km/hr.

    Given, Speed of the man = 5 km/hr.

    Since both the train and man are moving in the same direction so the speed of the train (relative to man) would be (x-5) km/hr.

    Length of the train = 125 m = 125/1000 km = 18 km

    Time taken to cross the man = 10 sec = 10/3600 hrs. = 1/360 hrs.

    So speed =distance/time.

    => x-5 =360/ 8.

    => 8x - 40 = 360.

    => 8x = 400.

    => x = 50 km/hr.

11. Question 11. Two Trains Running In Opposite Directions Cross A Man Standing On The Platform In 27 Seconds And 17 Seconds Respectively And They Cross Each Other In 23 Seconds. The Ratio Of Their Speeds Is?

    Answer :

    Let the speeds of the two trains be a m/sec and b m/sec respectively.

    Then, length of the first train = 27a meters,

    and length of the second train = 17b meters.

    so time = distance/ speed.

    => 23 = (27a+17b) / (a+b).

    => 23a + 23b = 27a +17b

    => 23a - 27a = 17b - 23b

    => -4 a = -6 b

    => 2 a = 3 b

    => a/ b= 3/2.

12. Question 12. In How Many Different Ways Can The Letters Of The Word ‘judge’ Be Arranged In Such A Way That The Vowels Always Come Together?

    Answer :

    The word JUDGE has 5 different letters.

    When, the vowels UE are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.

    Then, we have to arrange the letters JDG (UE).

    Now, 4 letters can be arranged in 4! = 24 ways.

    The vowels (UE) can be arranged in 2! = 2 ways.

    Required number of ways = (24 x 2) = 48.

    Answer :

    Let the numbers be x and (22 - x).

    Then, 5x = 6(22 - x)

                ‹=› 11 x = 132

               x = 12.

    So, the numbers are 12 and 10.

17. Question 17. If The Sum And The Difference Of Two Numbers Are 20 And 8 Respectively, Then The Difference Of Their Square Is?

    Answer :

    Let the numbers be x and y.

    Then, x + y = 20 and x - y = 8.

    Therefore, x2 - y2 = (x + y)(x - y)

                             ‹=› 20 x 8

                             ‹=› 160.

18. Question 18. A Train 100 M Long Is Running At The Speed Of 30 Km/hr. Find The Time Taken By It To Pass A Man Standing Near The Railway Line?

    Answer :

    Speed of the train = (30 x 5/18) m/sec

                               = (25 / 3) m/sec.

    Distance moved in passing the standing man = 100 m.

    Required time taken = 100 / (25 / 3)

                                    = (100 x 3 / 25) sec

                                    = 12 sec.

    Answer :

    Relative Speed = (280 / 9) m/sec

                            = (280/9 x 18/5)

                            = 112 kmph.

    Speed of the train = (112 - 50) kmph

                               = 62 kmph.

20. Question 20. If A Number X Is 10% Less Than Another Number Y And Y Is 10% More Than 125, Then X Is Equal To?

    Answer :

    y = 125 + 10% of 125

      = 125 + 12.50 

      = 137.50.

    x = 137.50 - 10% of 137.50

      = 137.50 - 13.75

      = 123.75.
