Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

As the pipes are operating alternatively, thus their 2 minutes job is = 14 + 16 = 512 

In the next 2 minutes the pipes can fill another 512 part of cistern. 

Therefore, In 4 minutes the two pipes which are operating alternatively will fill 512 + 512 = 56Remaining part = 1 - 56 = 16 

Pipe A can fill 14 of the cistern in 1 minute 

Pipe A can fill 16 of the cistern in = 23 min 

Therefore, Total time taken to fill the Cistern  

4 + 23 minutes.

Increase in volume = Volume of the cube = (15 x 15 x 15) cm3.

\Rise in water level = volume/area = (15 x 15 x 15)/(20 x 15) cm = 11.25 cm.

6n2+6n=6nn+1, which is always divisible by 6 and 12 both, since n(n+1) is always even.

1 man's 1 day work = 1/108
12 men's 6 day's work = 1/9 x 6 = 2/3

Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

16 men's 1 day work = 1/108 x 16 = 4/27
4/27 work is done by them in 1 day.

1/3 work is done by them in 27/4 x 1/3 = 9/4 days.

Using, Crn=Cn-rn we get 

n – 10 = 12

or, n = 12 + 10 = 22

Let the salaries of Maneela and Shanthi one year before be M1, S1 & now be M2, S2 respectively.

Then, from the given data,

M1/S1 = 3/4  .....(1)

M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2)

S1/S2 = 2/3  .....(3)

and M2 + S2 = 4160  .....(4)

Solving all these eqtns, we get M2 = Rs. 1600.

Given the ratio of efficiencies of P, Q & R are 3 : 8 : 5

Let the efficiencies of P, Q & R be 3x, 8x and 5x respectively

They can do work for 12 days.

=> Total work = 12 x 16x = 192x

Now, the required time taken by Q to complete the job alone = 162x8x = 24days.

By investing Rs. 1552, income = Rs. 128.

By investing Rs. 97, income =Rs.1281552×97= Rs. 8.

Dividend = 8%
