Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
The area of a trapezium is 384 sq. cm. Its parallel sides are in the ratio 3:5, and the perpendicular distance between them is 12 cm. Then the lengths of the parallel sides (bases) of the trapezium are :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The parallel sides are 24 cm and 40 cm.
Let the parallel sides be \(3k\) and \(5k\). The area of a trapezium is half the sum of the parallel sides times the height:
\[ \begin{aligned} \tfrac{1}{2}(3k + 5k) \times 12 &= 384 \\ 48k &= 384 \\ k &= 8 \end{aligned} \]
So the sides are \(3 \times 8 = 24\) cm and \(5 \times 8 = 40\) cm. The other pairs are not in the ratio 3:5 (12 and 18 is 2:3, 15 and 20 is 3:4), or do not give an area of 384.
A regular polygon has an interior angle of 150°. How many sides does it have?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
If the interior angle is 150°, the exterior angle is 180° - 150° = 30°.
The number of sides 'n' of a regular polygon is given by n = 360° / (exterior angle).
n = 360° / 30° = 12.
The polygon has 12 sides (a dodecagon).
The speeds of a boat in still water and of the stream are in the ratio 4 : 1. The boat covers 30 km downstream in 3 hours. How long will it take to cover the same distance upstream ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 5 hours
Let the speeds be \(4k\) and \(k\), so downstream is \(5k\) and upstream \(3k\).
\[5k = \frac{30}{3} = 10 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad k = 2\]
The upstream speed is \(3k = 6\) km/hr, so
\[\text{Time} = \frac{30}{6} = 5 \text{ hours}\]

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
