MeritTrac Aptitude Questions and Answers with Solutions
Here you can practice 16 sample MeritTrac aptitude questions. Please note that these are model questions only. No one can guarantee that the same questions will come in the exam. But you can expect similar model questions for sure.
1. Ages of two persons differ by 16 years. If 6 year ago, the elder one be 3 times as old the younger one, find their present age
A. 16, 32
B. 18, 34
C. 12, 28
D. 14, 30
Answer – D. 14, 30
Explanation:
Let us assume, the age of the younger person is x.
So, elder person age is (x+16)
According to the given information
3(x-6) = (x+16-6) [6 years before]
=> 3x-18 = x+10
=> x = 14.
Therefore, Present age of elder personage is x + 16 = 30
2. Three years from now, Bhavana will be three times as old as Anitha and Anitha will be six years younger than Manju. If Bhavana’s age is three years less than twice Manju’s age, how old is Manju?
A. 27
B. 20
C. 15
D. 9
Answer – D. 9
Explanation:
B+3=3(A+3) [Bhavana will be three times as old as Anitha]
=>A+3=(M+3)-6 ——-I
B=2M-3 [Bhavana’s age is three years less than twice Manju’s age]
By solving the equation I
A+3=M-3 or A=M-6.
B+3=3(M-6+3)
B+3=3M-9
B=3M-12.
now, we have B=2M-3.
2M-3=3M-12
M = 9
3. Johny is now 12 years younger than Mukesh. If 9 years from now Mukesh will be twice as old as Johny, how old will Johny be in 4 years?
A. 3
B. 5
C. 7
D. 9
Answer – C. 7
Explanation:
Let us assume Johny’s age was x years
Johny = x years, Mukesh = x+12 years
9 from now
2(x+9) = x+21
2x+18 = x+21
x=3
x+4 = 7 years
4. The ratio between Ramesh and Vamsi is 4:3, After 6 Years Ramesh age will be 26 years. What is Vamsi’s present age?
A. 14 years
B. 15 years
C. 20 years
D. 22 years
Answer – B. 15 years
Explanation:
The present age is 4x and 3x,
=> 4x + 6 = 26
=> x = 5
Therefore, Vamsi age is = 3(5) = 15 years
5. The sum of ages of 5 children born at the intervals of 3 years each is 50 years. What is the age of the youngest child?
A. 4 years
B. 8 years
C. 10 years
D. 12 years
Answer – A. 4 years
Explanation:
Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.
Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50
5x = 20
x = 4.
Hence, Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.
6. Chandu went shopping to buy a Mobile, the shopkeeper asked him to pay 18% Tax if he wants a bill. If not you can get a 7% discount on the actual price of the mobile. Then Chandu decided not to take the bill and paid Rs. 4650. By this how much money could Chandu save on purchasing mobile?

9. A does half as much work as B does in one-sixth of the time. If together they take 20 days to complete the work, then what is the time taken by A to complete the work independently.
A. 60/3 days
B. 80/3 days
C. 100/3 days
D. 140/3 days
Answer – B. 80/3 days
Explanation:
Let us assume B complete the work in x days
So in one day work done by B is 1/x
A do half work in one-sixth of the time
Then, A will complete work in 2*x/6 = x/3 days
One day work of A and B that is 3/x + 1/x = 1/20.
Hence, we get x = 80
So time taken by A alone = 80/3 days
10. Three pipes X, Y, and Z can fill a Cistern in 6 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours, Z is closed and X and Y can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by Z alone to fill the Cistern is?
A. 14 hours
B. 12 hours
C. 15 hours
D. 18 hours
Answer – A. 14 hours
Explanation:
Part filled in 2 hours = 2/6 = 1/3
Remaining Part = (1-1/3) = 2/3
(X + Y)’s 7-hour work = 2/3
(X + Y)’s 1-hour work = 2/21
Z’s 1 hour work = (X + Y + Z) 1 hour work – (X + Y) 1 hour work
= (1/6 – 2/21) = 1/14 = 14 hours
Therefore, Pipe Z alone can fill the Cistern in 14 hours.
11. A large cistern can be filled by two pipes P and Q in 15 minutes and 20 minutes respectively. How many minutes will it take to fill the Cistern from an empty state if Q is used for half the time and P and Q fill it together for the other half?
A. 18 minutes
B. 17 minutes
C. 12 minutes
D. 19 minutes
Answer – C. 12 minutes
Explanation:
Part filled by P and Q = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60
Part filled by Q = 1/20
x/2(7/60 + 1/20) = 12 minutes
12. A man can row at 4 kmph in still water. If the velocity of the current is 1 kmph and it takes him 1 hour to row to a place and come back. how far is that place?
A. 1.5 km
B. 1.8 km
C. 2.6 km
D. 3.2 km
Answer – B. 1.8 km
Explanation:
Let us assume the distance is x km
Rate downstream = 4 + 1 = 5 kmph
Rate upstream = 4 – 1 = 3 kmph
then
x/5 + x/3 = 1
3x + 5x = 15
x = 15/8 = 1.8 km
13. The speed of a boat in still water in 12 km/hr and the rate of current is 4 km/hr. The distance travelled downstream in 12 minutes is?
A. 2.7km
B. 3.2km
C. 4.7km
D. 5.1km
Answer – B. 3.2km
Explanation:
Speed downstream = (12 + 4) kmph = 16 kmph.
Distance travelled = 16 *12/60 km = 3.2 km

19*19 = 19/2(2a+18d)
38= 2a+18d
37 = a+18d
a = 1
Therefore, the weight of the Lightest is 1 Kg.
