Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 6 ] :
In three coloured boxes - Red, Blue and Green, 90 balls are placed. There are twice as many balls in the Red and Blue boxes combined as there are in the Green box and there are twice as many balls in the Green box as there are in the Red box. How many balls are there in the Blue box ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The Blue box has 45 balls.
Let the boxes hold \(R\), \(B\) and \(G\) balls. Red and Blue together are twice Green, and Green is twice Red:
\[ \begin{aligned} R + B &= 2G \\ R + B + G &= 90 \\ 3G &= 90,\ G = 30 \end{aligned} \]
\[ \begin{aligned} R &= G/2 = 15 \\ B &= 90 - 30 - 15 = 45 \end{aligned} \]
Check: Red and Blue together hold 60, twice Green's 30, and Green's 30 is twice Red's 15. The option 15 is the Red box and 30 the Green box, so they answer the wrong part of the question.
If \(\sin \theta = a/b\), then \(\cos \theta\) is equal to:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Using the identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\):
\((\frac{a}{b})^2 + \cos^2 \theta = 1\)
\(\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{a^2}{b^2} = \frac{b^2-a^2}{b^2}\)
\(\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{b^2-a^2}{b^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}{b}\).
If 6th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 6th March, 2004?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only.
The day on 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.
Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.
6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).
A boat running downstream covers 24 km's in 4 hours while for covering the same distance upstream it takes 6 hours whats the speed of the boat in still water?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
With \( b \) the still-water speed and \( r \) the stream's,
\[ \text{downstream} = b + r, \qquad \text{upstream} = b - r \]
\[ b + r = \frac{24}{4} = 6 \text{ km/hr}, \qquad b - r = \frac{24}{6} = 4 \text{ km/hr} \]
\[ b = \frac{6 + 4}{2} = 5 \text{ km/hr} \]
5 km/hr is not among the listed values, so the answer is none of these. The nearest option, 5.5, is the sort of near-miss these questions use to punish rounding.
In a certain store, the profit is \(320\) % of the cost. If the cost increases by \(25\) % but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Let Cost price \(= Rs. 100.\) Then, Profit \(= Rs. 320\)
Selling price \(= Rs. 420.\)
New Cost price \(= 125\)% of \(Rs. 100 = Rs. 125\)
New Selling price \(= Rs. 420.\)
Profit \(= Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295.\)
\(\therefore\) Required percentage \(= (\frac{295}{420} \times 100)\)% \(= \frac{1475}{21}\)% \(= 70\)%(approximately)
The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, son's age will be:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Let the present ages of son and father be \(x\) and \((60-x)\) years respectively
Then , \((60-x)-6=5(x-6)\)
\( \Rightarrow \) \(54 - x=5x-30\)
\( \Rightarrow 6x=84\)
\( \Rightarrow x=14 \)
\( \therefore \) Son's age after 6 years = \(( x+ 6)\)= 20 years

Statements: M # Q, Q $ K, A % K, V * A
Conclusions:
I. K * M
II. A % Q
III. A % M
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: All I, II and III are true
Translating this set’s code: \(\$\) is “neither greater nor smaller”, so \(=\); \(\delta\) is “neither greater than nor equal”, so \(<\); \(\%\) is “neither smaller than nor equal”, so \(>\); \(*\) is “not smaller than”, so \(\ge\); and \(\#\) is “not greater than”, so \(\le\). The statements become \( M \le Q \), \( Q = K \), \( A > K \) and \( V \ge A \). Since Q and K are equal they can be treated as one element, which lines the rest up as \[ V \ge A > K = Q \ge M. \]
That single descending chain settles all three conclusions.
I. \( K \ge M \): from \( M \le Q = K \). True.
II. \( A > Q \): from \( A > K = Q \). True.
III. \( A > M \): the run \( A > K = Q \ge M \) points one way and contains a strict link. True.
All three follow. Spotting the equality early is what makes this quick: an \(=\) link lets two letters be merged, and a chain with nothing but one reversal-free direction settles every comparison along it.

2, 6, 10, 30, 34, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: 102
The steps run 4, 4, 20, 4, which grow and then fall back, so a single operation cannot account for them. Two operations are applied in turn, and continuing the alternation from 34 gives 102. As a check, the step from 34 to the answer is 68, which breaks the run of preceding gaps exactly as an alternating rule demands. Reading the steps in pairs rather than singly is what makes an alternating rule visible.

Correct Answer : A
Neurospora is favoured as genetic material because its life cycle is only about ten days.
It is also haploid, so every mutation shows at once, and the products of a single meiosis are held in order in the ascus, which lets crossing over be read directly. Beadle and Tatum used it for the one gene–one enzyme hypothesis.

Google is a search engine.
It crawls the web, indexes what it finds and ranks results, originally by the PageRank algorithm which treats a link as a vote. FTP is a file transfer protocol, Archie an early FTP index and ARPANET the internet's predecessor.

Correct Answer : B
Ammonium sulphate, (NH4)2SO4, contains about 21 per cent nitrogen by mass:
\[ \frac{2 \times 14}{132} \times 100 = 21.2\% \]
It is a straight nitrogenous fertiliser, valued for also supplying sulphur, though urea at 46 per cent nitrogen is far more concentrated.
