Quantitative Aptitude Prep Tips for MBA

A + B + C = 18500…. (1)

A = B + 25% of   $B=\frac{5B}{4}$ $\frac{}{}$ …. (2)

B = C + 20% of $C=\frac{6C}{5}$ $\frac{}{}$ …. (3)

Equation (1) gives,

$\frac{5B}{4}+\frac{6C}{5}+C=18500$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3C}{2}+\frac{6C}{5}+C=18500$

37C = 185000 C = 5000

B = 6000, A = 7500.

A + B = 13500

Let the total work by LCM of 20, 24 and 30 i.e. 120 units

Work done per day by A and B = a + b = $\frac{120}{20}=6$ $\frac{}{}$

Work done per day by B and C = b + c = $\frac{120}{24}=5$ $\frac{}{}$

Work done per day by A and C = a + c = $\frac{120}{30}=4$ $\frac{}{}$

2 (a + b + c) = 15

So, a + b + c = 7.5

Required number of days = $\frac{120}{7.5}=16\text{?}days$

Let the numbers be x & y

(mean proportion)2 = xy.

So, xy = 784

x = $\frac{784}{y}$ $\frac{}{}$ .… (1)

x, y and 224 are in continued proportion

y2 = 224 x .… (2)

y2 = 224 * $\frac{784}{y}$ $\frac{}{}$

y3 = 14 * 16 * 28 * 28

y = 56 and x = 14

Alternate Method

Use options and check.

Let the speeds be 2Aand A kmph respectively

$\frac{216}{3A}=6$

A = 12 and the speed of B = 3 kmph

$\frac{\left(28-25\right)}{\left(45-28\right)}=\frac{3}{17}$

Rahul can occupy any one of the two corner positions and therefore, Rahul can occupy a position in two ways.

The other four people can seat themselves in 4! ways, that is, 24 ways.

Total ways = 2 * 24 = 48 ways.

As per the problem, we have Length of the first train = 120 m

Length of the second train = 180 m

As per the problem,

$\frac{(120+180)}{(8+s)}=5$

8 + s = 60

s = 52 m/sec

6X + 5Y = 218 . (1)

5X - 3Y = 24 . (2)

Solve to get X = 18, Y = 22.

Let x be the required percent.

Using the successive percentage change rule, we have

150 + x + $\frac{150x}{100}$ $\frac{}{}$ = 0

$\frac{}{}$ $\frac{250x}{100}$  = – 150

x = – 60%

so 60%

Required time t =

$\frac{1760}{2\pi r}=\frac{1760}{\left[2*\left(\frac{22}{7}\right)*\frac{3.5}{2}\right]}=160min.$
