Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
The minute-hand and second-hand of a clock cross each other _______ times between 09:15:00 AM and 09:45:00 AM on a day.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The hands cross 30 times.
The second hand turns at 6° per second and the minute hand at 0.1° per second, so the second hand gains 5.9° per second. At 09:15:00 the minute hand points at 3 (90°) and the second hand at 12 (0°), so the second hand starts 90° behind. It overtakes the minute hand each time it has gained 90° + 360°k:
\[ \begin{aligned} t_{k} &= \frac{90 + 360k}{5.9} \le 1800 \\ 90 + 360k &\le 10620 \Rightarrow k \le 29.25 \end{aligned} \]
So k = 0, 1, ..., 29: 30 crossings, the first about 15 s after 09:15:00 and the last about 15 s before 09:45:00. Over 30 minutes the second hand gains 29.5 laps, and 29 is that figure rounded down, missing the crossing that the 90° starting gap adds. 31 counts one lap too many, and 15 is half the true count.
Find the one which does not belong to that group ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Three of the four are anagrams of cereals.
- Hewat → Wheat
- Ceri → Rice
- Rowaj → Jowar
Cereals is the name of the whole class, not a scrambled member of it, so it does not belong.
The length of each side of an equilateral triangle having an area of 4√3 cm² is?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Use the equilateral-triangle area formula and solve for the side.
\[ A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^{2} = 4\sqrt{3} \]
\[ a^{2} = \frac{4\sqrt{3} \times 4}{\sqrt{3}} = 16 \]
\[ a = 4 \text{ cm} \]
The \( \sqrt{3} \) cancels from both sides, which is why the answer comes out a whole number.
What value will replace the question mark in the following equations ?
(i) 5172.49 + 378.352 + ? = 9318.678 (ii) ? − 7328.96 = 5169.38
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Isolate the question mark in each equation.
(i)
\[ ? = 9318.678 - 5172.49 - 378.352 = 3767.836 \]
(ii)
\[ ? = 5169.38 + 7328.96 = 12498.34 \]
Note the direction of each operation: the first needs subtraction because the unknown sits on the adding side, and the second needs addition because it is being subtracted from.
Average of first five multiples of 3 is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The first five multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 - equally spaced, so the average is the middle one.
\[ \frac{3 + 15}{2} = 9 \]
Reasoning [ Question No: 6 To 8 ] :
Direction for [ Question No: 6 To 6 ] :
Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
A, B, C, D, E, F G, H and K are sitting around a circle facing the centre. B is fourth to the left of G, who is second to the right of C. F is fourth to the right of C and is second to the left of K. A is fourth to the right of K. D is not an immediate neighbour of either K or B. H is third to the right of E.
Who is fourth to the right of D?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: B
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix C; G sits two to C’s right, B four to G’s left, F four to C’s right, K two to F’s right and A four to K’s right - a single chain that fills six of the nine seats. H three to E’s right then fits the remaining three seats in only one way, leaving D clear of both K and B. Clockwise the circle reads C → H → B → K → E → F → D → G → A.
Counting four seats to D’s right - anticlockwise - gives F, E, K and then B.
Direction for [ Question No: 7 To 7 ] :
Eight students A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are planning to enjoy car racing. There are only two cars and following are the conditions :
(i). One car can accommodate maximum five and minimum four students.
(ii). A will sit in the same car in which D is sitting but H is not in the same car.
(iii). B and C can't sit in the same car in which D is sitting.
(iv). F will sit in the car of four people only alongwith A and E but certainly not with G.
If H and G are sitting in the same car, who are other two students sitting in the same car ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Consider two cars I and II.
A and D sit in the same car, say I.
H is not in the same car i.e. H is in car II.
B and C are not in the same car in which D is sitting i.e. B and C are in car II.
F sits along with A and E in the same car i.e. car I.
G is in the other car i.e. car II.
Thus, we have :
Car I → A, D, E, F
Car II → B, C, G, H
B and C are sitting in the same car in which G and H are sitting.

150, 136, 122, 108, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: 94
Every gap is the same: the differences run -14, -14, -14, so the common difference is -14. Applying it once more to the final term, 108 - 14 gives 94. As a check, subtracting -14 from the answer returns 108, the term before it, and repeating that recovers the whole series. Once the difference is known the series can be extended in either direction, and checking backwards to the first term is a quick way to confirm it.
English Language [ Question No: 9 To 11 ] :
Insert the most suitable adverb of cause and mark your answer in the response sheet.
He was late for the meeting, __________ he missed the initial proceedings of the event.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The adverb is consequently: He was late for the meeting, consequently he missed the initial proceedings.
The second clause states the result of the first: being late caused him to miss the start. Consequently means "as a result", so it links the cause with its effect, which is what the question means by an adverb of cause.
Gradually, slowly and abruptly are adverbs of manner: they describe how something happens, not why. Put in the blank they would not connect the two clauses and the sentence would make no sense.
Select the most appropriate synonym of the following word. Hoodwink
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The synonym is Beguile.
To hoodwink is to deceive or trick, and to beguile is to deceive or charm. 'Wink' is a blink, and 'unveil' and 'uncover' mean the opposite, to reveal.
So only beguile is close in meaning.
The word 'hoodwink' means to trick or deceive someone. 'Beguile' can mean to charm or deceive, and in this sense they are close. 'Unveil' and 'uncover' mean the reverse, to reveal, so they are antonyms rather than synonyms.
