ANSWERS WITH EXPLANATION

A.1. Correct Answer(D)

Explanation:

Worker A completes the task in 12 days. So in one day, he will complete the 1/12 part of the task.

So, A's one day work =1/12

Similarly, B's one day work =1/15

∴ (A+B)'s one day work =1/12+1/15=3/20

3/20 of the task is completed in one day so both will complete the whole task in 20/3 days

Apti Problems on Numbers

A.4. Correct Answer: (B)

Explanation:

18.834 + 818.34 - ? = 618.43
Or, 18.834 + 818.340 - 618.43 =?
837.174 - 618.430 = 218.744

A.5. Correct Answer: (B)

Explanation:

Let the face value of the share = Rs. 100
Dividend per share = 9
As per the question, an income of Rs. 180 is obtained from an investment of Rs. 4000.
So, an income of Rs. 9 is obtained from an investment of Rs. = (4000/180) * 9 = 200
So, the market price of the share = Rs. 200

A.6. Correct Answer: (C)

Explanation:

The second number is one more than twice the first,
2 x 2 +1 = 5
The third number is one less than twice the second,
5 x 2 -1 = 9
The fourth number is one more than twice the third,
9 x 2 +1 = 19
The fifth number is one less than twice the fourth.
19 x 2 - 1 = 37
Therefore, the sixth number is one more than twice the fifth. So, the missing number:
37 x 2 + 1 = 75.

A.7. Correct Answer: (B)

Explanation

The average decrease in weight per person = 2kg
There are 10 men so a total decrease in weight on replacing a man with a new man = 10 ∗ 2= 20 kg
Weight of the man who is replaced = 60 kg
∴The weight of the new man would be = Weight of man replaced - total decrease in weight of the group of 10 men.
= 60 - 20 = 40 kg

A.8. Correct Answer: (B)

Explanation

Total salary for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.
Required salary = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ]
= Rs. (39000 - 34009)
= Rs. 4991

A.9. Correct Answer: (A)
