For minimum people, we can consider the set {a2, a5,
QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE a8… an-1}.
So, MINIMUM people in a set = n / 3
1. Answer: A
so n/3=66/3=22
Explanation:
You can check through the option and find it. if we
7. Answer: C
take option 1.it is given that 1 watermelon,2 dates,1
Explanation:
plum for each child. So, he should have bought 3
Let the radius of circle be r
watermelon, 6 dates, and 3 plums for all the three. But
Let the side of square be a
it is given that he spends only 7 pennies. When you
Then diagonal of square= a*sqrt(2)
check the cost of all the fruits .the only option satisfies
This diagonal length = 12*r + 2r * sqrt(2)
the given condition is 1 Watermelon, 2 Dates and 1
(Because the extreme circle's radius is perpendicular to
Plum.
side of square.)
Thus we get
2. Answer: C
12*r+2r*sqrt(2)=a*sqrt(2)
Explanation:
r (6*sqrt(2)+2)=a
x and y are 2 single digit integer to get the maximum
r/a=1/(6*sqrt(2)+2)
value for equation
Thus ratio: r: a = 1 :( 6*sqrt(2)+2)
x-y+33
= 1: 10.4
Since it is difference between x&y one number should
So, a : r = 10.4 : 1
be maximum and other should be minimum to get
maximum value take x=9&y=1
8. Answer: B
9-1+33=41
Explanation:
Let us take the ages of Father, Mother, First son,
3. Answer: B
Second son and daughter as F, M, S1, S2 and D
Explanation:
respectively.
Here, the numerator is in the form of a3-b3=(a-b)
Given,
(a2+ab+b2) and the denominator is in the form of
S1: D = 3: 1
a2+ab+b2
M = 3.5 (S2)
a=213 & b=31
S2 = 2/3 (S1)
By cancelling the common terms in the numerator and
D=5
the denominator we will get (a-b)
Now, S1: D = 3: 1 => S1 = 3D => S1 = 3(5) => 15
I.e.213-31= 182
So, S1 = 15
S2 = 2/3 (S1) => S2 = 2/3(15) => 10
4. Answer: C
S2 = 10
Explanation:
M = 3.5 (10) => 35
Answer is Thursday
Mother's age is 35
As the condition says that the dwarf lie on Monday,
Tuesday & Wednesday so they will speak truth that
9. Answer: C
they lied on Thursday also on the other side the bytes
Explanation:
speak lie on Thursday and will tell that they spoke lie
a% of a means= a/100*a = a^2/100
on Wednesday. So the day has to be Thursday as no
Similarly, b% of b will be b^2/100
other option satisfies the condition also.
And 2% of ab will be 2ab/100
Now putting in d eqn we will get -
5. Answer: B
a^2+b^2=2ab(100 is eliminated from both sides)
Explanation:
Now, this is the formula of (a-b) ^2=0 which implies, a-
If one letter is in wrong envelope, one other letter

Explanation:
Number 7 occurs more often – (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 2)
6. Answer: A
(5, 2), (6, 1)…6 times.
Explanation:
Whereas number 9 occurs 4 times - (3, 6) (4, 5) (5, 4),
For minimum people in a set we can consider
(6, 3),
handshakes as {a1, a2, a3}, {a4, a5, a6},
Number 10 occurs 3 times - (4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4) and
Number 11 occurs 2 times - (5, 6), (6, 5). Subtracting, the sum of first 100 numbers from first
So the most probable friend to win the chocolate is 200 gives the sum of next 100 natural numbers,
Rahul 20100-5050 = 15050
Average of next 100 numbers is, 15050/100 = 150.5
11. Answer: A Percentage of avg of first 100 numbers to that of next
Explanation: 100 numbers is,
Given A1 = 2 (50.5/150.5)100 = 33.55
An+1 = An + 2n From the options, 101/301 gives 33.55
Next number in the sequence will be, So, Average of first 100 natural numbers is 101/301
A2 = A1 + 2*1 which can be written as, times of the average of next 100 natural numbers.
A2 – A1 = 2*1  eqn.1
A3 – A2 = 2*2  eqn.2 15. Answer: C
A4 – A3 = 2*3  eqn.3 Explanation:
And so on till, Total ways = 5! = 120
A100 – A99 = 2*99  eqn.99 Let’s suppose the 2 siblings as 1 unit
By adding all the above eqns. we get, So there are 4 units in this premise.
A100 – A1 = 2*(1+2+3+4+……… + 99) They can be arranged in 4! Ways.
(Using sum of n integers formula = n * (n+1)/2) Also the 2 siblings who form one unit can arrange
n=99 themselves in 2! Ways
A100 – A1 = 2 * [99 * (99 + 1)] / 2 So the number of ways the 2 siblings are together is 4!
A100 – A1 = 99 * 100 *2! = 48
A100 – A1 = 9900 So, subtracting 48 from total 120 = 72 ways
A100 = 9900 + 2
The answer is 9902 ADVANCED QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE

13. Answer: B
Explanation:
First solution has 1L milk in 5L solution, hence 0.2L
milk/ litre of sol. 2nd sol has 0.33L milk/litre of sol.
Then he take 3L of first sol and 2L of second sol. so, the
final mixture has 0.2*3+0.33*2=1.26L of milk in 5L of
Mixture. Let he sold first sol in Re1 with 20% gain,
means 1L milk with Re0.2 gain
In the final mix he sold 0.26L free which have a profit
of (0.2/1)*0.26=0.052=5.2% loss

=> (100 x 101)/2 = 5050
Explanation:
Average of first 100 natural numbers is, 5050/100 =
‘abc’ has exactly 3 factors, so ‘abc’ should be square of

Any number of the form paqbrc will have (a + 1) (b + 1) b = 2, 10, 18 satisfy this equation. So, there are three
(c + 1) factors, where p, q, r are prime. So, if a number different values that b can take
has 3 factors, its prime factorization has to be p2.
‘abcabc’ = ‘abc’ * 1001 or abc * 7 * 11 * 13 (again, this 20. Answer: A
is a critical idea to remember) Explanation:
Now, ‘abc’ has to be square of a prime number. It can
be either 121 or 169 (square of either 11 or 13) or it
can be the square of some other prime number.
When abc = 121 or 169, then ‘abcabc’ is of the form
p3q1r1 1, which should have 4 * 2 * 2 = 16 factors.
When ‘abc’ = square of any other prime number (say
172 which is 289), then ‘abcabc’ is of the form
p1q1r1s2 , which should have 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 24 factors
So, ‘abcabc’ will have either 16 factors or 24 factors.

1. Answer: C
Explanation:
D cannot be the starting sentence since 'what was built
on' feels incomplete and the paragraph cannot start
that way.
Thus two options starting with D are eliminated.
BADC vs. BACD -
D - What was built on - This is introduced in C. Thus C
should come before D. Therefore the answer is BACD.

19. Answer: A
Explanation:
Let track length be equal to T.
Time taken to meet for the first time = T relative
speed=T/6−b or T/b−6
Time taken for a lap for A = T/6
Time taken for a lap for B = T/b
So, time taken to meet for the first time at the starting
point = LCM (T/6, T/b) =T/HCF (6, b)
Number of meeting points on the track = Time taken to
meet at starting point/Time taken for first meeting =
Relative speed / HCF (6, b).
So, in essence we have to find values for b such that
6−b/HCF (6, b) = 2 or b−6/HCF (6, b) = 2
