Question 1 · Mathematical Aptitude Practice Set 1
If A : B = 2 : 3 and B : C = 4 : 5, then A : B : C is:
- A. 6 : 12 : 15
- B. 2 : 3 : 5
- C. 8 : 12 : 10
- D. 8 : 12 : 15
Show the answer
D. 8 : 12 : 15
Make B common: A : B = 8 : 12 and B : C = 12 : 15, so A : B : C = 8 : 12 : 15.
Question 2 · Mathematical Aptitude Practice Set 1
Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5. If 6 is subtracted from each, the ratio becomes 6 : 11. What is the smaller number?
- A. 36
- B. 24
- C. 30
- D. 18
Show the answer
C. 30
Let the numbers be 3k and 5k. (3k - 6)/(5k - 6) = 6/11 gives 33k - 66 = 30k - 36, so k = 10 and the smaller number is 30.
Question 3 · Mathematical Aptitude Practice Set 1
The present ages of A and B are in the ratio 4 : 5. After 6 years the ratio will be 5 : 6. What is A's present age?
- A. 30 years
- B. 28 years
- C. 24 years
- D. 20 years
Show the answer
C. 24 years
(4k + 6)/(5k + 6) = 5/6 gives 24k + 36 = 25k + 30, so k = 6. A's present age = 4 x 6 = 24 years.
Question 4 · Mathematical Aptitude Practice Set 1
What is the simple interest on Rs. 5,000 at 8% per annum for 3 years?
- A. Rs. 1,400
- B. Rs. 1,200
- C. Rs. 1,000
- D. Rs. 1,298.56
Show the answer
B. Rs. 1,200
SI = P x R x T/100 = 5,000 x 8 x 3/100 = Rs. 1,200. Rs. 1,298.56 would be the compound interest.
Question 5 · Mathematical Aptitude Practice Set 1
The monthly incomes of A and B are in the ratio 7 : 5 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 3 : 2. If each of them saves Rs. 2,000 a month, what is B's monthly income?
- A. Rs. 8,000
- B. Rs. 14,000
- C. Rs. 10,000
- D. Rs. 12,000
Show the answer
C. Rs. 10,000
Let incomes be 7x and 5x and expenditures 3y and 2y. 7x - 3y = 2,000 and 5x - 2y = 2,000 give x = 2,000 and y = 4,000, so B's income is 5 x 2,000 = Rs. 10,000 (B spends Rs. 8,000).
