Step 1 : Find LG Mobiles - Sold in Retail
Overall Volume of LG Mobile is 756000
Out of which Sold in Retail is ( 11 / (11+9)*756000) = 415800
Step 2 : Find Apple-Imported Mobiles
Overall volume of Apple Mobile is 1260000
Out of which Imported Mobiles is ( 10 / (10+14)*1260000) = 525000
Step 3 : Finding Difference
i.e. 415800-525000=-109200

218960
236992
Correct Ans:257600
Explanation:
Step 1 : Find Samsung-Locally produced Mobiles
Overall Volume of Samsung Mobile is 1008000
Out of which Locally produced Mobiles is ( 8 / (8+7)*1008000) = 537600
Step 2 : Find Micromax Mobiles - Sold in Online
Overall volume of Micromax Mobile is 630000
Out of which Sold in Online is ( 8 / (8+10)*630000) = 280000
Step 3 : Finding Difference
i.e. 537600-280000=257600
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):
Gears
Hydraulics
Electrical circuits
Thermodynamics
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.
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.
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:
External Cogwheels
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.

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
V1 = Velocity of wheel 1
V2 = Velocity of wheel 2
PV = nRT
P = Pressure
V = Volume
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.
