This document contains two sample questions from an aptitude mock test with 74 total questions. The first question involves calculating the speed of a man traveling upstream and downstream in a river based on time and stream speed. The second question asks the reader to calculate the population of a city after two years if the population increased by 10% the first year and 20% the second year, starting at an initial population of 10,000. Both questions are multiple choice and include explanations of the step-by-step workings.

1. A man can row a certain distance downstream in 2 hours while he
takes 3 hours to come back. If the speed of the stream be 5 km/hr then the speed of the man in still water is: A. 25 km / hr B. 20 km / hr C. 21 km / hr D. 23 km / hr E. 24 km / hr Answer : A. 25 km / hr Explanation : Let the speed of the man in still water be x km/hr. Given that, speed of the stream = 5 km/hr. Therefore, speed in downstream = ( x + 5 ) km/hr And, speed in upstream = ( x 5 ) km/hr Distance covered in downstream in 2 hours = ( x + 5 ) * 2 km Distance covered in upstream in 3 hours = ( x 5 ) * 3 km Therefore, ( x + 5 ) * 2= ( x 5 ) * 3 2x + 10 = 3x 15 10 + 15 = 3x 2x x = 25 km / hr
2. Population of a city increases by 10% in 1st year, it increases by
20% in next year. If initial population in 10,000. Calculate the Population after two years. A. 11000 B. 13500 C. 12000 D. 13200 E. 12500 Answer : D. 13200 Explanation : Initial Population = 10000 Population after one year = 10000 + (( 10 / 100 ) * 10000 ) = 10000 + 1000 = 11000 Population after 2nd Year = 11000 + (( 20 / 100 ) * 11000 ) = 11000 + ( 20 * 110 ) = 11000 + 2200 = 13200
