Refer the above for the Questions 1 to 5

1. What is the ratio of the cost of production of item I by the company A to the cost of production item I
by the company D? 

(3 : 5)

( 1: 2)

( 2: 3)

( 2: 1)

None of these

Correct Ans:( 2: 1)
Explanation:

Given, Total production cost of 7 companies = Rs. 25 crores

Step 1: To find the cost of production of ITEM I by Company A:


From Pie chart:
Given, Cost of production of Company A (For both Item I and II) = 15 % of 25 crores.
= (15 / 100) * 25 crores
= 3.75 crores

From Table:
Given, Ratio of Production of Company A = (Item I / Item II) = 2 / 3

So, Cost of production of ITEM I by Company A = [2/ (2 + 3)] * 3.75 crores


= [2 / 5] * 3.75 crores
= 1.5 crores
= 150 lakhs

Step 2: To find the cost of production of ITEM I by Company D:


From Pie chart:
Given, Cost of production of Company D (For both Item I and II) = 8 % of 25 crores.
= (8 / 100) * 25 crores
= 2 crores

From Table:
Given, Ratio of Production of Company D = (Item I / Item II) = 3 / 5

So, Cost of production of ITEM I by Company D = [3 / (3 + 5)] * 2 crores


= [3 / 8] * 2 crores
= 0.75 crores
= 75 lakhs

Step 3:
Required Ratio = Production cost of Item I of {Company A : Company D}
= 150 : 75
=2:1
2. What is the total profit earned by company G for items I and II together? 

78 lakhs

1.62 cr

7.8 cr

16.2 Cr

None of these

Correct Ans:78 lakhs

Explanation:

Given, Total production cost of 7 companies = Rs. 25 crores

Step 1: To find Profit earned by company G for item I:

From Pie chart:


Given, Total Cost of production of Company G (For both Item I and II) = 12 % of 25 crores.
= (12 / 100) * 25 crores
= 3 crores

From Table:
Given, Ratio of Production of Company G = (Item I / Item II) = 1 / 2

and also Given in Table that,


Percent profit earned on Item I by Company G = 30%
=> Amount of profit earned on Item I by Company G = 30 % of {1/ (1 + 2)} parts of Company G's total
production cost
= (30 / 100) * (1 / 3) * 3 crores
= 0.3 crores
= 30 lakhs

Step 2: To find Profit earned by company G for item II:


Given in Table that, Percent profit earned on Item II by Company G = 24%
=> Amount of profit earned on Item II by Company G = 24 % of {2/ (1 + 2)} parts of Company G's total
production cost
= (24 / 100) * (2 / 3) * 3 crores
= 0.48 crores
= 48 lakhs

Step 3:
Therefore, Total Profit earned by company G for items I and II = 30 +48 lakhs
= 78 lakhs

= (5 / 100) * 25 crores
= 1.25 crores

From Table:
Given, Ratio of Production of Company F = (Item I / Item II) = 1 / 4

So, Cost of production of ITEM I by Company F = [1/ (1 + 4)] * 1.25 crores


= [1 / 5] * 1.25 crores
= 0.25 crores

Step 2: To find the cost of production of item II by Company D:


From Pie chart:
Given, Cost of production of Company D (For both Item I and II) = 8 % of 25 crores.
= (8 / 100) * 25 crores
= 2 crores

From Table:
Given, Ratio of Production of Company D = (Item I / Item II) = 3 / 5

So, Cost of production of ITEM II by Company D = [5 / (3 + 5)] * 2 crores


= [5 / 8] * 2 crores
= 1.25 crores

Step 3:
Required Percentage = (Item I production cost by Company F / Item II production cost by Company D)
* 100 %
= (0.25 / 1.25) * 100%
= 20 %

Explanation:

Step 1: To find Total no. of candidates Qualified from states B and C together.

Given, Total no. of candidates qualified = 26,400

No. of candidates qualified from states B & C together = (17 % + 9%) of 26,400
= 26% of 26,400
= (26 / 100) * 26,400
= 26 * 264
= 6864

Step 2: To find out no. of candidates appeared from states B and C together.

Given, Total no of candidates appeared =1,20,000

No of candidates appeared from states B and C together = (8 % + 15%) of 1,20,000


= 23% of 1,20,000
= (23 / 100) * 1, 20,000
= 23 * 1200
= 27,600

Step 3: To find Required percentage

Required percentage = (No. of candidates qualified from states B & C together / No. of candidates
appeared from states B & C together) * 100 %
= (6864 / 27,600) * 100 %
= (6864 / 276) %

Explanation:
Step 1: To find out no. of candidates qualified from state F

Given, Total no. of candidates qualified = 26,400

No. of candidates qualified from state F = 16% of 26,400


= (16 / 100) * ( 26,400)
= 16 * 264
= 4224

Thus, the No. of candidates qualified from state F = 4224

Step 2: To find out no. of candidates appeared from state C

Given, Total no. of candidates appeared = 1,20,000

No. of candidates appeared from state C = 15% of 1,20,000


= (15 / 100) * ( 1,20,000)
= 15* 1200
= 18,000

Thus, the No. of candidates appeared from state C = 18,000

Step 3: To find out the required percentage

Required percentage = (No. of candidates qualified from State F / No. of candidates appeared from
state C) * 100%
= (4224 / 18,000) * 100 %
= 4225 / 180 % (approx)

= 22 * 264
= 5808

Therefore total number of candidates qualified from A = 5808


Step 2: To find out the number of candidates qualified from State G

Given, Total no. of candidates qualified = 26,400

No. of candidates qualified from State G = 12 % of 26,400


= (12 / 100) * ( 26,400 )
= 12 * 264
= 3168

Therefore total number of candidates qualified from G = 3168

Step 3: To find the ratio between number of candidates qualified from state A to state G

Required ratio = 5808 : 3168


= 11 : 6

11. What is the difference between the Family A food amount to the rent spent in the Family B? 

8000

6500

3000

4000

5800

Correct Ans:3000

Explanation:

Step 1: To find out Family A - Food amount


Given, Total expense of Family A = Rs. 50,000
% of Amount spent on food by Family A = 10 %
=> Amount spent by Family A on Food = 10 % of 50,000
= (10/100) * 50,000
= 10 * 500
= Rs. 5,000
Thus, Amount spent by Family A on Food = Rs. 5,000

Step 2: To find out Family B - Rent amount


Given, Total expense of Family B = Rs. 25,000
% of amount spent by Family B on Rent = 32%
=> Amount spent by Family B on Rent = 32 % of 25,000
= (32/100) * 25,000
= 32 * 250
= Rs. 8,000
Thus, Amount spent by Family B on Rent = Rs. 8,000

Step 3: Difference between Family A - food amount and Family B Rent amount = (8000- 5000)
=> Rs. 3,000
12. What is the percentage increase of Family A clothing amount as compared to Family B Electricity
amount? 

133.3

None of these

Correct Ans:133.3

Explanation:

Step 1: To find Family A - Clothing Amount.


Given, percentage of amount spent by Family A on Clothing = 14 %
Total Expense of Family A = Rs. 50,000
=> Amount spent by Family A on Clothing = 14 % of 50,000
= (14/100) * 50,000
= 14 * 500
= Rs. 7,000
Thus, Amount spent by Family A on Clothing = Rs. 7,000

Step 2: To find Family B - Electricity Amount.


Given, percentage of amount spent by Family B on Electricity = 12 %
Total Expense of Family B = Rs. 25,000
=> Amount spent by Family B on Electricity = 12 % of 25,000
= (12/100) * 25,000
= 12 * 250
= Rs. 3,000
Thus, Amount spent by Family B on Electricity = Rs. 3,000

Step 3: To find percentage increase between Family A - Clothing Amount and Family B - Electricity
Amount

Required Percentage increase = {(Difference between Family A - Clothing Amount and Family B -
Electricity Amount)/ Family B - Electricity Amount} * 100%
= {(7000 - 3000) / 3000} * 100%
= (4000/ 3000) * 100%
= (4/3) * 100%
= 133.33%

Each test has its own priorities, obviously, but as a safe bet you could say that questions in a common
mechanical test tend to be focused on the following subjects (ordered by prevalence from high to low):

 Force and moment

 Gears

 Wheels and pulleys

 Hydraulics

 Velocity and gravity

 Electrical circuits

 Thermodynamics

 Acoustics and optics

Gears & Pulleys

A gear can be represented as either a wheel or cylinder. A major characteristic of these wheels/
cylinders are the cogs/ teeth running along their outside edges. The three main purposes of gears are to
change the direction of motion, increase or reduce speed and force, or to transmit force.

 
Questions regarding gears will typically use the rules below to solve. The fundamental rules of thumb for
solving mechanical reasoning questions concerning gears/ cogwheels are:

 If gears are connected (meshed), adjacent gears will move in the opposite direction. If there are
an odd number of cogwheels, the last wheel will turn in the same direction as the first wheel. In
a system with an even number of cogwheels, the last cogwheel will turn in the opposite
direction of the first.

Consider the following example:

 Unmeshed (not physically touching) gears that are connected by a chain or belt will move in the
same direction. If the chain is crossed,they will move in opposite directions:

o There is a trade-off between force and speed: more teeth – lower speed, more force.

o Less teeth – higher speed, less force.

 Gear ratio: N1/N2 = V2/V1 (N is the number of teeth on gear 1/2, V is the rotation velocity).

For more information regarding the types of questions on gears that you may encounter on your
assessment, please see below:

Gears & Belts

External Cogwheels

Rack & Pinion

Pulleys
 

Pulley systems typically involve one or more wheels controlled by a cord/ rope/ belt. By changing the
direction of force applied to the rope, pulleys can be used to lift heavy objects/ weights. There are a
variety of different pulley systems that you will encounter during a mechanical aptitude assessment.
These include:

Fixed Pulley

In a fixed pulley system, the load will move while the pulley does not. The pulley does not reduce the
force needed to lift the load, it merely changes its direction.

Moveable Pulley

In a moveable pulley system, the pulley will move along with the load. This, in turn, cuts the force of
lifting the object and its weight in half.

As with gears, here there is also a trade-off. You will need half the force to lift the load, but double the
amount of rope. E.g. to lift a load with a moveable pulley to a height of 1 meter, you will need 2 meters
of rope. That rate increases as the number of pulleys increases.

Combined Pulley
These systems include more than one pulley and will either include both fixed and/ or moveable pulleys.
In these systems, the force for lifting an object will be reduced but the distance for doing so will
increase. The force required to lift the object is equal to the number of ropes supporting it.

just a few days of practise

Important Formulas

It is wise to brush up on certain mechanical formulas when preparing for a mechanical aptitude test.
Below are some examples of formulas that you should know prior to sitting a mechanical reasoning test:

Area

Volume

Leverage

Gear Ratio

N1/N2 = V2/V1
Or

N1 x V1 = N2 x V2

N1 = Number of teeth on wheel 1

N2 = Number of teeth on wheel 2

V1 = Velocity of wheel 1

V2 = Velocity of wheel 2

So if  N1 = 8, N2 = 5. The gear ratio (1-2) will be = N1/N2 = V2/V1 = 8/5.

Ideal Gas Law

PV = nRT

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = number of gas particles (amount of gas)

R = Gas constant (just a number)

T = Temperature

It should be noted that it is not as important to remember the formula exactly as it is important to
know what it must hold. If a certain part of the equation changes, some other part must also change
to maintain the equality (for instance, if the volume decreases, pressure must increase).

Electricity
Ohm’s law states that the current passing through a conductor between two points is directly
proportional to the potential difference across them.

I = V/R, or V = IR, or R = V/I

V = the potential difference measured across the conductor, in volts

R = the resistance of the conductor, in ohms

I = the current, in amperes
