QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE

1. 1; Let the present age of Kunal be 9x and that of Vikrant be 4x. Then, according to the question,
9x = 2(9x 12) 3
or 18x 9x = 27 or 9x = 27
x = 3
Now, the present age of Kunal = 9 3 = 27 years and the present age of Vikrant = 4 3
= 12 years
Hence, after 4 years, Vikrants age = 12 + 4
= 16 years
2. 4; Let the CP of hen and goat be x and y respectively.
According to the question,
5x 6 y

or, 25x + 24y = 10800

Again,

... (i)

or, 24x + 25y = 10760

... (ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii),
we get x = Rs 240, y = Rs 200

3. 3; Total number of persons is five. When there is no restriction they can be seated in 5! ways. But
A and B can be arranged in 2! ways.
The required number of ways in which A and B do not sit together = 5! 2! 4! = 4!(5 2)
= 1 2 3 4 3 = 72
4. 1; Total number of balls = 6 + 3 + 2 = 11

41. 1; No guide is a software conversion No software is a guide. Now, All applications are
softwares (A) + No software is a guide (E) = A + E = E = No application is a guide. Hence, conclusion I
follows. But conclusion II does not follow.
42. 5; All metals are fibres conversion Some fibres are metals. Hence, conclusion I follows.
Conclusion II follows because All wings are plastic.

43. 1; Conclusion I follows from the first statement. Now, Some rectangles are frames + Some frames
are circular = I + I = No conclusion. Hence, II does not follow.
44. 1; All seniors are educated conversion Some educated are seniors.
Now, Some educated are seniors (I) + All seniors are experienced (A) = I + A = I = Some educated
are experienced. Hence, conclusion I follows. Conclusion II does not follow because of the second statement.
45. 4; No solution is wrong (E) + Some wrongs are right (I) = E + I = O* = Some rights are not
solutions. Hence, conclusion II does not follow.
Again, No logic is right conversion No right is logic. Now, Some wrongs are right (I) + No right
is logic (E) = I + E = O = Some wrongs are not logic.
So, No solution is wrong (E) + Some wrongs are not logic (O) = E + O = No conclusion. Thus,
conclusion I does not follow.
46. 2; Planning for waste management and sanitation as also awareness programme will play an important
role in keeping the city clean.

From II. Total no. of books = 15
From III. Thickness of a page in each book = 0.5 mm
Combining all statement together from I, II and III we cant find the thickness of the bundle because
we dont know the thickness of the cover of each book.
