NRA CET Quantitative Aptitude Questions and Answers, Explanation

1. How many terms are there in the G.P 3, 6, 12, … , 768?

A. 7
B. 8
C. 10
D. 9
Answer: D

Explanation: 
a = 3, r = 6⁄2 = 2
Let number of terms = n
-> tn = 768
-> 768 = arn-1
-> 768 = 3 x 2n-1
-> 768⁄3 = 2n-1
-> 256 = 2n-1
-> 28 = 2n-1
-> n = 9
Therefore the number of terms = 9

2. The difference between the two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number?

A. 295
B. 360
C. 270
D. 240

Answer: C

Explanation:
Let the smaller number be x. Then a larger number = (x + 1365).
 x + 1365 = 6x + 15
 5x = 1350
 x = 270
Smaller number = 270.

3. 3889 + 12.952 – ? = 3854.002

A. 47.752
B. 47.95
C. 47.095
D. 47.932

Answer: B

Explanation:
Let 3889 + 12.952 – x = 3854.002.
Then x = (3889 + 12.952) – 3854.002
   = 3901.952 – 3854.002
   = 47.95

4. What is the product of all the numbers in the dial of a telephone?

A. 1,59,480
B. 1,58,480
C. 1,59,450

5. Find the solution and simplify. 5x−12−11x=3x+12+3x

A. -2
B. 0
C. -3
D. -1

6. A man has some hens and cows. If the number of heads be 48 and the number of feet equals 140, then the number of hens will be:

A. 26
B. 22
C. 24
D. 23

Answer: A

Explanation: 

Let the number of hens be x and the number of cows be y.

Then, x + y = 48 …. (i)

and 2x + 4y = 140      x + 2y = 70 …. (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 26, y = 22.

The required answer = 26.

7. (0.25 x 0.25 – 0.24 x 0.24) / 0.49 = ?

A. 0.49
B. 0.01
C. 0.0006
D. 0.1

Answer: B

Explanation:

As a^2 – b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)  

 ∴ (0.25 x 0.25 – 0.24 x 0.24) / 0.49 = (0.25 + 0.24)(0.25 – 0.24) / 0.49 

 = (0.49 x 0.01) / 0.49 = 0.01

8. Find a positive number which when increased by 17 is equal to 60 times the reciprocal of the number.

A. 20
B. 10
C. 17
D. 3

Answer: D

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Then, x + 17 = 60/x

x^2 + 17x – 60 = 0

 (x + 20)(x – 3) = 0

 x = 3.

9. 7X2 is a three-digit number and X is the missing digit. If the number is divisible by 6, the missing digit is

A. 5
B. 3
C. 4
D. 2

Answer: B

Explanation:

If the given number is divisible by 6 so it would be divisible by 2 and 3. As the last digit is 2 whatever be the value of X, it would be divisible by 2.

Now, 7+X+2 = 9 + X, must be divisible by 3.

∴X = 3 makes the number divisible by 3, so 3 is the required digit.

10. If 40% of an amount is 250, what will be 60% of that amount?

A. 375
B. 400
C. 300
D. 320

Answer: A

Explanation:

Let the amount be x.

As per question: 40% of x = 250

(40/100)*x = 250

x= 25000/40 

i.e x= 625

Now 60% of  625 = (60/100)*625 = 375

11. A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m x 36 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m, the volume of the box (in m^3) is:

A. 6420
B. 4830
C. 8960
D. 5120

Answer: D

Explanation: 

Clearly, l = (48 – 16)m = 32 m,

b = (36 -16)m = 20 m,

h = 8 m.

 Volume of the box = (32 x 20 x 8) m^3 = 5120 m^3.

12. Robert is travelling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 P.M. if he travels at 10 kmph, he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 kmph. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 P.M.?

A. 12 kmph
B. 14 kmph
C. 8 kmph
D. 11 kmph

Answer: A

Explanation:

Let the distance travelled by x km.

Then, x/10 – x/15 = 2

 3x-2x = 60 

 x=60km

Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr =60/10hrs = 6 hrs.

So, Robert started 6 hours before 2 P.M. i.e., at 8 A.M.

 Required speed = 60/5 kmph.= 12 kmph.

13. A blend contains drain and water in the proportion 5:1. Including 5 liters of water, the proportion of milk to the water gets to be 5:2. The amount of milk in the first blend is

A. 32.5 liters
B. 25 liters
C. 16 liters
D. 22.75 liters

Answer: B

Explanation:

In the given mixture, Let milk = 5x liter and water =x liters.
Then, 5x/x+5= 5/2 
=> 10x= 5x+25 
=>5x =25 
=>x=5
∴ milk in original mixture= (5*5) =25 liters 

14. The average monthly income of P and Q is Rs. 5050. The average monthly income of Q and R is Rs. 6250 and the average monthly income of P and R is Rs. 5200. The monthly income of P is?

A. 5000
B. 3500
C. 4050
D. 4000

Answer: D

Explanation:

P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 …. (i)
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 …. (ii)
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 …. (iii)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:  2(P + Q + R) = 33000  or   P + Q + R = 16500 …. (iv)
Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get P = 4000.
i.e P’s monthly income = Rs. 4000.

15. A sum of money at simple interest becomes Rs. 3000 in 2 years and Rs. 3540 in 5 years. Find the rate of interest.

A. 4.5 %
B. 6%
C. 4 %
D. 5%

Answer: B

Explanation:

After two years the amount is 3000 and in the next three years, it becomes Rs. 3540.

So, we have:
P = Rs. 3000
Amount = Rs. 3540
Interest = 3540 – 3000 = 540
Number of years = 3 years
Rate of interest =?
Formula => Rate of Interest= (I*100)/(P*T)
R= (540*100)/ (3000*3)
= 6%

16. At what rate of compound interest per annum will a sum of Rs. 1200 become Rs. 1348.32 in 2 years?

A. Rs. 35 lakhs
B. Rs. 1.25 crores
C. Rs. 95 lakhs
D. Rs. 65 lakhs

Answer: A

Explanation:

Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.

Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores
and so, the difference between the expenditures on transport and taxes
    = Rs. [(12.5 – 10)% of 14] crores
    = Rs. [2.5% of 14] crores
    = Rs. 0.35 crores
    = Rs. 35 lakhs

III) What is the ratio of the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport to the total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans?

A. Rs. 4.2 crores
B. Rs. 7 crores
C. Rs. 3 crores
D. Rs. 5.4 crores

Answer: A

Explanation: 

Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
Then, 17.5% of x = 2.45 => x = 14.
Therefore Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores.
and so, the total expenditure on advertisement, taxes and Research and Development
    = Rs. [(15 + 10 + 5)% of 14] crores
    = Rs. [30% of 14] crores
    = Rs. 4.2 crores.

A. 6750
B. 5860
C. 5220
D. 5700

Answer: D

Explanation:

Let a number x compare the assumed selling price and actual selling price.
i.e., 123 * x =7011
x = 57

That means if we multiply the assumed value by 57, we get the original selling price.
So, multiply the cost price by 57 to get the original cost price, 
i.e., 100 * 57 = 5700.

20. There is a 10% discount on a dozen pairs of trousers marked at Rs. 8000. How many pairs of trousers can be bought with Rs. 2400?

 21. A group of workers undertakes a task. They can complete the task in 30 days. If 5 of them did not turn in for the work and the remaining workers complete the task in 40 days, find the original number of workers.

A. 25 days
B. 23 days
C. 20 days
D. 21 days

Answer: C

Explanation:

Let the original number of workers = X
X workers can complete the work in 30 days. And (X – 50) complete the same task in 40 days.

Apply formula: M1D1W2 =M2D2W1
W1=W2 as the task is the same in both cases.
Therefore, X * 30 = (X – 5) * 40
30 X = 40X – 200
200 = 40X -30X
200 = 10 X
X =   200/10  =  20days

22. The ratio of the total amount distributed in all the males and females as salary is 6: 5. The ratio of the salary of each male and female is 2: 3. Find the ratio of the no. of males and females.

A. 5:9
B. 9:5
C. 5:7
D. 7:5

Answer: B

Explanation:

The total salary of males: the total salary of females = 6:5
The salary of each male: salary of each female = 2:3
To find the number of men and women, divide the total salary of males and females by the salary of each male and female.
i.e., 6/2: 5/3
Or, 18: 10 = 9: 5
So, the ratio of the number of males and females = 9:5

23. The least number which when divided by 5, 6, 7, and 8 leaves a remainder   3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder, is

A. 3363
B. 1677
C. 2523
D. 1683

Answer: D

Explanation:

L.C.M. of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840.
 The required number is of form 840k + 3
 The least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2.
 Required number = (840 x 2 + 3) = 1683.

24. In The adjoining figure, ABCD is a rhombus whose diagonals intersect at O. IF ∠OAB =40⁰ and ∠ABO =x⁰, then X= ?

A. 35 degree
B. 40 degree
C. 50 degree
D. 45 degree

Answer: C

Explanation:

We know that the diagonals of a  rhombus
bisect each other at right angle. So ,∠ AOB = 90⁰. 
Now ,∠ OAB + ∠ABO + ∠AOB = 180⁰
⇒ 40 +x + 90 = 180 ⇒ x=50.
