Whole-Testpaper

Hi,

The selection process consists of two rounds only.

Tips to crack aptitude :

1. Never Guess an answer . Attend only the questions you are reasonably certain of answering correctly . (I attended exactly 30 questions , Never guessed any question randomly.

2. If you dont get the answer in the first try or you get stuck up quickly skip the question . Come back to it later if you have time. ( I attended the first question skipped 8 questions before answering the next question).

3. Read the question fully once and find out what they are asking . Most of the time they give a lot of irrelevant data to confuse you. For example they may ask a problem on ages but may also give you data on blood relations (i have 2 brother and 2 sisters. You have to correctly deduce the fact that you only need information related to Age and the rest is irrelevant data .

4. Try not to panic at the sight of those long questions. Most problems are very simple which require you to do some logical thinking with a clear mind.

5. There will be certain questions which will be very simple but will have small twists .

6. Most questions asked have a fixed pattern. A friend of mine attended the interview on 21st (she too got selected). Most of the questions i got were similar to the ones she got with slight changes introduced (learn the logic dont mug up the answer) .

Some of the questions which I remembered are as given below.

1) If an old women's age is the same as her three grand daughters i, mean the number of days old child=the no of weeks old child=no of months old child. The total years of all these ppl is 114 years then how old is the old woman?

The year has 365 days and 30 days each month.

I calculated it with the options given try 2 use the calculator its easy. Don't remember the answer.

2) There was a piece of cloth which is 135 miles long and 35ft wide and some nonsense again then he wants to divide the cloth into pieces with one mile each if he took 7 secs for cutting  piece. What is the time taken for cutting the whole of the cloth into pieces?

135-1=134 x 7=938 secs.

3) A woman had somany gloves and hats 22 red,34 blue, 45 white there was power cut and she took a glove and how many gloves shud she take so that she gets a pair of glove fr each color?

Don't know the answer.

4) Problem on ((a3-b3)/(a2-ab-b2))=(a- don waste tym directly calculate it!

5) The bear problem..i put it as black.

6) Parateeka(Bird)

7) If a person climbed a hill which was 200 mtrs high. The average speed while climbing was 23 mph and while coming down was 30 mph. Then what is the average speed of his journey?

Use the formula (2xy)/(x+y)

8) If the are 2 containers of 1 ltr each. I had Pepsi and another water. If one spoon from Pepsi was taken and added in water and then frm the mixed container of water one spoon was taken and added in Pepsi..

So pepsi had more quantity of Pepsi than what water had in 2nd container.

9) If the area was hit by a virus and so the decrease in the population because of death was x/3 and the migration from other places increased a population by 2x then annually it had so many ppl. find our the population in the starting.

10) If the milk and water was added in 5:4 ratio then how much more water should be added so he gets the ratio of 6:7.(Not exact question but something like that)

11) A tank fills in the squence of 10, 20 ,40,80.... (means 10 litre in 1 hr, 20 litr i 2nd nd so). If at the 4th hour the tank is 1/4 full when will it be full?

Ans: x/4=80

That means capacity of tank is 320 litres. From the series we can see that in 5th hr it's 160 nd then in 6th hr it's 320 so answer is 6

12) 2 very simple questions on ages like if 3 years back i was 2 times of my friends age and so and so. If you know the basic concept you will be able to solve that.

13) There are only bicycles and 4-wheelers in the parking. If the total number of wheels are 240.

What can be the possible number of cycles?

Ans: 2x+ 4y= 240

See options ie the value of x from the options. Then check the value of y from eqn for each option. The value of x for which y is a integer would be the answer.

14) The cost of making robot is divided into cost of material, Cost of repairing nd cost of painting in the ratio of 5: 2: 3 the cost usd for material is 200. Find the total cost of making the robot?

Ans: 5x/10=200

So x=400 Ans.

15) If jack lies on Mon, Tue Wed and jill lies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If both together tell they lied yesterday.

16) Scientist starts from his base camp from North (my friend got North Pole) chases after a Bear etc.

The Normal ones which are Black and the Polar Bears which are white. Polar Bears are present only in the North and South poles (Arctic and Antarctica). I chose white i am not sure if that was correct (if it was North Pole white is the correct answer)

17) Seamstress makes a cut on a piece of cloth in 3 secs. If she wants to cut the cloth into 11 pieces. How much time would it take. (My friend got the same question with different values)

He walked 1 mile towards north, then turned and walked 1 mile towards east and then caught the beer and radio-ribboned the beer. Then he left the beer at that spot and returned to his base-station taking a turn towards south (walked 1 mile towards south). Then what was the color of beer at that spot?

a)White  b)Brown  c)Black   d)Grey

Ans. Black

32) The problem of BEAR is about identifying its color with regard to its Region whether it is from North or South or East or West. Because, The Bear's color will vary in different location and so they have mentioned this as distance. As far I know, North - White Bear ( Polar Bear )

East-Black Bear

South-Black Bear (Sometimes Grey too )

West-Brown Bear

33) In the class of 40 students, 30 speak Hindi and 20 speak English. What is the lowest possible number of students who speak both the languages?

4) 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. hence the current average age has become 45. find the age of seventh person?

Solution: Here the question appear as an easy one, but carried a lot of unwanted sentences and unwanted datas (i dint mention above) in exam which may confuse you on solving technique.

5) Let x be current average age of first 6 persons in queue and current age of seventh person be y. Then 6x will become the sum of those 6 persons age. Now, let compute the sum of those 6 persons after two years, 6x+12 (as each and individual increase their age by 2). hence its average become (6x+12)/6 = 43 (give in question itself). So now we can compute x from above equation. (x = 41, 6x = 246).

6) Horse started to chase dog as it relieved stable two hrs ago. And horse started to ran with average speed 22km/hr, horse crossed 10 mts road and two small pounds with depth 3m, and it crossed two small street with 200 mts length. After traveling 6 hrs, 2hrs after sunset it got dog. compute the speed of dog?

Ans: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it.

Hence d = 22*6 = 132km,

Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier).

Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5km/hr

Ans: 16.5km/hr.

Solution: Here it appear simple, because it arranged in arranged in sequence manner, but the actual question was some what twist mentioning fibonacci series and more over question was in statements (no numbers). Hence first try to understand the question well. Here let group alternate terms 3,7,15,31 (3+4 =7, 7+8 =15, 15+16=31)

8) In Tnagar many buildings were under residential category.for buildings they number as 1 to 100. For shops, corporation numbered between 150 and 200 only prime numbers. how many time 6 will appear in building numbering?

Ans:

For 1 to 10 - 1 six

2 to 20 - 1 six

Similarly upto 59 we utilise six, 5 times

from 60 to 69 (including 66) - 11 times

from 70 to 100 - 3, hence ans = 5+11+3 = 19

Ans:19.

Ans: 2 (simple algebra, I think no need of explanation)
