PAPER: ONMOBILE PLACEMENT PAPER (APTITUDE) 1. One guy hasRs. 100/ in hand. He has to buy 100 balls.
One football costs Rs. 15/, OneCricket ball costs Re. 1/ and one tabletennis ball costs Rs. 0.25 He spendthe whole Rs. 100/ to buy the balls.How many of each balls he bought? SOL:- F + C + T = 100eq1 15F + C + 0.25T = 100eq2 eq1=eq2 .solve to get F=3T/56;F=3,T=56,C=41 2. Bird and the train: The distance between Station Atena andStation Barcena is 90 miles. Atrain starts from Atena towards Barcena. A bird starts at the same time fromBarcena straight towards the movingtrain. On reaching the train, itinstantaneously turns back and returns to Barcena.The bird makes these journeys from Barcena to the train and back to Barcena continuouslytill the train reaches Barcena. Thebird finally returns to Barcena andrests. Calculate the total distance in milesthe bird travels in the following two cases: (a) the bird flies at 90 miles per hourand the speed of the train is 60miles per hour there is no need toconsider their meeting pt at all. thetrain has been running for 90miles/(60miles/hr)=1.5hrs.birdflies till train reachesdestination from starting point. so bird flies for1.5hrsat the velocity given(90).so dist=1.5*90=135miles (b) the bird flies at 60 miles per hourand the speed of the train is 90miles per hour time of train=1hr.sodistance of bird=60*1=60miles 3. Atennis championship is played on a knockout basis, i.e.,a player is out of the tournament when he loses amatch. (a) How many players participate in thetournament if 15 matches aretotally played? sol:- C u don't need to sum it up. sinceit's a knock out only 1 personemerges winner finally.so15+1=16is answer.because after15 matches finally we should've 15losers and 1winner. (b) How many matches are played in thetournament if 50 players totallyparticipate? sol:- 49.itsalways one less then number ofplayers as per the idea i have given above. sono need to check okay because its always true.ans is 49. 4. WhenI add 4 times my age 4 years from now to 5 timesmy age 5 years from now, I get 10 times my currentage. How old will I be 3 years from now? sol:- Let x= current age 4(x+4)+5(x+5)=10x ;so x= 41 years

5.A rich merchant had collectedmany gold coins. He did not wantanybody to know about them. One day, his wife asked,"How many gold coins do we have?" Afterpausing a moment, he replied, "Well! If I divide thecoins into two unequal numbers, then 37 times the differencebetween the two numbers equals the differencebetween the squares of the two numbers." Thewife looked puzzled. Can you help the merchant's wifeby finding out how many gold coins. sol:- 37(xy)=x^2y^2. u no thtx^2y^2=(xy)(x+y).so (xy) cancels onboth sides to give x+y=37.so sum of unequal halves=37which is the req answer. 6. Aset of football matches is to be organized in a "round robin"fashion, i.e., every participating team playsa match against every other team once and only once. If 21 matches are totally played, how manyteams participated?
6 5 4 3 2 1 0 21 last team is written as 0 matches becausethis team has already played withall other teams hence sum of matches=6+5+4+3+2+1=21 which is correct only if no of teams =7 7. Glenn and Jason each have acollection of cricket balls. Glennsaid that if Jason would give him 2 of hisballs they would have an equal number; but, if Glennwould give Jason 2 of his balls, Jason would have2 times as many balls as Glenn. How many balls doesJason have? sol:-1. G+2=j2 2. 2(G2)=J+2. solve these 2 to get J=14
8. Suppose 8 monkeys take 8 minutesto eat 8 bananas. (a) How many minutes would it take 3monkeys to eat 3 bananas? Sol: each monkey takes 8 min to eata banana (b) How many monkeys would it take to eat48 bananas in 48 minutes ans:8m=48 m=6 9.Itwas vacation time, and so I decided to visit my cousin'shome. What a grand time we had! In the mornings,we both would go for a jog. The evenings werespent on the tennis court. Tiring as these activitieswere, we could manage only one per day, i.e.,either we went for a jog or played tennis each day.There were days when we felt lazy and stayed home allday long. Now, there were 12mornings when we did nothing, 18 eveningswhen we stayed at home, and a total of 14
ans:7teams . for a match u need 2 teams. suppose therer totally 'n 'teams. Now u have tochoose 2 teams out of 'n' teams. so answer =noof such choices=no. of possible combinations. So we'veans = nC2(ncombination2)=21;solve to get n=7. Sol: n(n1)/2=21. so n=7.if u don'tunderstand c the graph beloweach team plays no. of matches=no of teamsahead of it. One bar '|' representsone team. |||||||7
days when we jogged or played tennis. Forhow many days did I stay at mycousin's place? Use sets and venndiagram to solve such questions.a,b aub,anbetc. sol:-12=tennis+leave 18=jog +leave so jogtennis=6 again jog+tennis=14.so solve and get jog=10,leave=8,tennis=4.so tot=22 10.The Carpenter and the Nails:-A 31" x 31" square metal plateneeds to be fixed by a carpenter onto a wooden board. The carpenter uses nailsall along the edges of the square such that thereare 32 nails on each side of the square. Each nailis at the same distance from the neighboring nails.How many nails does the carpenter use? Ans:- 32*2 + 30*2=124
12. A farmer hasC chickens. A sack of feed comes for 9 days. Asthe feed cost is increasing the farmersells some chickens and retains 12 chicken. If hereduces the feed quantity by 10% .Then heobserves that the feed comes for 30 days. What is C? sol: Cchickens can b fed for 9 days. so C chick can eat 1/9 in1 day. so 1 chick can eat (1/9C)inone day. after his reduction onechick gets to eat only 90% of whatit used to eat in one day. so newfeed value=0.9*(1/9C)for 1day.but now he has only12 chicks. that means as per newrule feed is suitable for 12 chicksfor 30 days. i.e. 0.9*(1/9C)*12*30=1.solve to get C=36 Ans:36
13. To be 10 min earlier means carhas been driven for 10 min less then usual i.e 5 min in forward journey and 5minin backward journey. normally carreaches station at 6pm. today sinceit has to drive only 5 min less it reaches at5:55.since he started to walk at5pm.has been walking till 5:55 since that'swhen he sees the car. so 55 min
11. ManWrinkle spent one fourth of his life as a boy, one eighthas a youth, and one half as an active man. IfMan Wrinkle spent 8 years as an old man, then how manyyears did he spend as an active man? sol:-(1/4)y+(1/8)y+(1/2)y =p; wherey =tot life time. yp=8.sincep=(14/16)y we've y=64 activeage=32
