Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
Reshmi is 12 years younger than Sruti. Reshmi's age is 40% of the sum of her and Sruti's age. What will be Sruti's age after 9 years hence ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Sruti will be 45 years old after 9 years.
Let Sruti's age be \(s\), so Reshmi's is \(s - 12\). Reshmi's age is 40% of their total:
\[ \begin{aligned} s - 12 &= 0.4(2s - 12) \\ s - 12 &= 0.8s - 4.8 \\ 0.2s &= 7.2,\ s = 36 \end{aligned} \]
So Sruti is 36 now and Reshmi 24 (check: 24 is 40% of 60). After 9 years Sruti will be \(36 + 9 = 45\). 36 is her present age, the answer before adding the 9 years; 25 matches neither person at any point.
How many three-digit numbers are divisible by 7?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The three-digit numbers are from 100 to 999. First three-digit number divisible by 7 is 105. Last is 994. This is an A.P. with \(a=105, d=7, a_n=994\). We use \(a_n = a+(n-1)d\). \(994 = 105+(n-1)7 \Rightarrow 889 = (n-1)7 \Rightarrow n-1 = 127 \Rightarrow n=128\). There are 128 such numbers.
A can run 22.5 m while B runs 25 m. In a kilometre race B beats A by:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
In these problems the two runners are compared by the distances they cover in the same time, so their speeds are in the ratio of those distances.
\[ A : B = 22.5 : 25 \]
In a 1000 m race B finishes first, and A has then covered
\[ 1000 \times \frac{22.5}{25} = 900 \text{ m} \]
\[ \text{B beats A by } 1000 - 900 = 100 \text{ m} \]
A train passes a stationary pole in 8 seconds. The train also passes a 200 m long bridge in 28 seconds. What is the length and the speed of the train?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The pole crossing covers only the train:
\[ L = 8v \]
The bridge crossing covers the train plus 200 m:
\[ L + 200 = 28v \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 8v + 200 = 28v \]
\[ 20v = 200 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad v = 10 \text{ m/s} \]
\[ L = 80 \text{ m} \]
Only one option gives a pair consistent with both crossings.

In a certain code language, 'GAME' is written as '$ ÷ ∗ %' and 'BEAD' is written as '# % ÷ ×'. How will the word 'MADE' be written in that code language?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
MADE is written as ∗ ÷ × %.
Each letter has its own symbol, in order. From GAME = $ ÷ ∗ %: G = $, A = ÷, M = ∗, E = %. From BEAD = # % ÷ ×: B = #, E = %, A = ÷, D = ×.
So M A D E = ∗ ÷ × %. The first option starts with the code for G, the second puts $ (G) in place of D, and the last starts with # (B).

Which of the following will be the last statement after rearrangement?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: f
The last sentence of the rearranged paragraph is f.
Correct sequence: b – d – a – e – c – f
How the paragraph builds:
- b reports the event: India’s worst series defeat in England since 1959.
- d registers the surprise - champions were not expected to surrender.
- a turns to explanation: pundits have attributed many reasons.
- e gives the chief one, Zaheer Khan’s injury.
- c expands on what his presence would have meant.
- f adds a second absence with additionally.
Chief among them in e requires the reasons to have been announced in a, and additionally in f can only close the list.

Which of phrases given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold type to make the grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is, mark 'E' as the answer.

Hardly he had entered the room when the lights went out.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: had he
When a sentence begins with a negative or restrictive adverb, the subject and auxiliary are inverted: hardly had he entered, not hardly he had entered. The adverbs that trigger this inversion are worth learning as a list: hardly, scarcely, barely, no sooner, seldom, rarely, never, little, nowhere, not only and under no circumstances. Each of them, when placed first, forces the word order of a question onto a statement. Two further points complete the construction. Hardly and scarcely are followed by when, while no sooner is followed by than. And the earlier of the two past actions takes the past perfect while the later takes the simple past - had entered followed by went out. Did he fails because the sentence already has the auxiliary had.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Inedible
The passage says the caterpillar's prominent colour informs would-be predators of its inedibility, and that a bird which does eat one vomits it and afterwards avoids similar species. Experience teaches the bird that the caterpillar cannot be eaten, not that it is dangerous or diseased.
