Sure, here are 10 aptitude questions covering different topics:

1. A can complete a work in 6 days, B in 8 days and C in 12 days. How long will they take if they work
together? Solution: Let the total work be 24 units (LCM of 6, 8 and 12). A can complete 4 units of
work per day, B can complete 3 units per day and C can complete 2 units per day. So, their combined
work per day is 9 units. Therefore, they will complete the work in 24/9 = 2.67 days or approximately
2 days 16 hours.

1. Solve for x: 4x - 7 = 5x + 3 Solution: 4x - 5x = 3 + 7 => -x = 10 => x = -10

2. If the radius of a sphere is 7 cm, what is its volume? Solution: Volume of sphere =

1. If A:B = 3:5 and B:C = 2:7, what is the value of A:B:C? Solution: We can solve this by
finding the LCM of 5 and 2, which is 10. Then, we can write the ratios in terms of 10: A:B
= 3:5 = 6:10 B:C = 2:7 = 4:14 = 2:7 So, the value of A:B:C = 6:10:7

1. If the price of a product is increased by 20%, by what percentage should the new price
be reduced to bring it back to the original price? Solution: Let the original price be $100.
After a 20% increase, the new price will be $120. To bring it back to $100, we need to
reduce it by $20, which is a reduction of 16.67%: (20/120) x 100 = 16.67%

1. If loga + logb = 3 and loga - logb = 1, what is the value of a/b? Solution: Using log
rules, we can simplify the given equations: log(ab) = 3 => ab = 1000 log(a/b) = 1 =>
a/b = 10 So, the value of a/b is 10.

1. If a car travels at 60 km/hr for the first 4 hours and at 50 km/hr for the next 2 hours,
what is its average speed for the entire journey? Solution: Total distance covered = (60 x
4) + (50 x 2) = 320 km Total time taken = 4 + 2 = 6 hours Average speed = Total
distance/Total time taken = 320/6 = 53.33 km/hr
2. If the HCF of two numbers is 4 and their LCM is 60, what are the two numbers?
Solution: Let the two numbers be a and b. We know that HCF(a, b) x LCM(a, b) =
a x b. So, 4 x 60 = a x b => ab = 240 Now, we need to find two numbers whose
product is 240 and HCF is 4. The two numbers are 16 and 15.

1. A student scored 85, 90, 95, 80 and 75 in five tests. What is the average score? Solution:

1. A can complete a work in 6 days, B in 8 days and C in 12 days. How long will they take if
they work together? Solution: Let the total work be 24 units (LCM of 6, 8 and 12). A can
complete 4 units of work per day, B can complete 3 units per day and C can complete 2
units per day. So, their combined work per day is 9 units. Therefore, they will complete
the work in 24/9 = 2.67 days or approximately 2 days 16 hours.

1. A man covers a certain distance at a speed of 60 km/hr and returns at a speed of 40

km/hr. What is his average speed for the entire journey? Solution: Let the distance be d
km. Time taken to cover the distance at 60 km/hr = d/60 hours. Time taken to cover the
same distance at 40 km/hr = d/40 hours. Total time taken = d/60 + d/40 = (2d/120) +
(3d/120) = 5d/120 = d/24 hours. Average speed = Total distance/Total time taken =
2d/(d/24) = 48 km/hr.

1. The sum of ages of a father and his son is 56 years. If the father is twice as old as his
son, what are their ages? Solution: Let the age of the son be x years. Then, the age of
the father is 2x years. The sum of their ages is x + 2x = 3x. Given that the sum of their
ages is 56 years. So, 3x = 56 => x = 18.67 years (approx). Since the son's age cannot be
a fraction, we can round off x to 19 years. Therefore, the age of the father is 2x = 38
years.

1. The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on a sum of
money at 10% per annum for 2 years is $124. What is the sum? Solution: Let the sum be
P. Simple interest for 2 years = (P x 10 x 2)/100 = 0.2P. Compound interest for 2 years =
P[(1 + 10/100)^2 - 1] = P(21/25 - 1) = 4P/25. Difference between compound interest
and simple interest = (4P/25) - 0.2P = 0.08P. Given that this difference is $124. So, 0.08P
= 124 => P = $1550.

1. A boat can travel 15 km downstream in 1 hour and 10 km upstream in 1 hour. What is

the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current? Solution: Let the speed
of the boat in still water be x km/hr and the speed of the current be y km/hr. Speed
downstream = (x + y) km/hr and speed upstream = (x - y) km/hr. Given that the boat
can travel 15 km downstream in 1 hour and 10 km upstream in 1 hour. So, (x + y) = 15
and (x - y) = 10. Solving these equations, we get x = 12.5 km/hr and y = 2.5 km/hr.
1. A man invested $2000 for 2 years at a rate of 12% per annum compounded annually.
