In the aptitude test each & every question in the aptitude test was from previous paper as per the new pattern. You can get through if you prepared with previous papers and having a little presence of mind. I m giving u the questions with solution of some of them. 1. (1/2) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number? a) 6 b)7 c)8 d)9 Solution: Let the number be x, ((1/2)*x)=3+(1/6)*x, Then solve x 2. There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in A, it gets filled up like, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 in tank B. (At the end of first hour, B has 10 liters, second hour it has 20 liters and so on). If tank B is 1/32 filled of the 21 hours, what is total duration of hours required to fill it completely? a) 26 B)25 c)5 d)27 Solution: for every hour water in tank in B is doubled, Let the duration to fill the tank B is x hours. x/32 part of water in tank of B is filled in 21 hours, Next hour it is doubled so, 2*(x/32) part i.e (x/16) part is filled in 22 hours, Similarly (x/8)th part in 23 hours,(x/4)th part is filled in 24 hours, (x/2)th part is filled in 25 hours, (x)th part is filled in 26 hours So answer is 26 hours. 3. 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. Hence the current average age has become 45. Find the age of seventh person? a) 43 b) 69 c) 52 d) 31 Solution: Total age of 6 persons is x hours, after two years total age of 6 persons is x+12 Average age of 6 persons is after two years is 43 So (x+12)/6=43,then solve x, After 7th person is added then (x+7th person age)/7=45 So we will get 7th person age easily 4.In the reading room of a library, there are 23 reading spots. Each reading spot consists of a round table with 9 chairs placed around it. There are some readers such that in each occupied reading spot there are different

numbers of readers. If in all there are 36 readers, how many reading spots do not have even a single reader? a) 8 b) none c) 16 d) 15 Solution: 23 reading spots, Each reading spot consists of 9 chairs placed around it so There are some readers such that in each occupied reading spot there are different numbers of readers. For each table different no of persons are sat,so for first table 1 person is sit,2nd table 2 persons are sit 36 readers means(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 so 8 tables are filled so 23-8=15 reading spots does not have single reader. 5. A man jogs at 6 mph over a certain journey and walks over the same route at 4 mph.

Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then a) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move. b) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move. c) In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move. d) Alice has no winning strategy. Ans: d 31. For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success.

For this type of Questions, follow this: At least- Ist half are true, Last half are false Exactly- Last second one is true or (N-1)th Statement is true Almost- All are true. So correct answer is (C) Q.12. On the planet Oz, there are 8 days in a week- Sunday to Saturday and another day called Oz day. There are 36 hours in a day and each hour has 90 min while each minute has 60 sec. As on earth, the hour hand covers the dial twice every day. Find the approximate angle between the hands of a clock on Oz when the time is 12:40 am. Solution:- 89 deg 36hrs a day mane the clk will b of 18hrs. 18hrs covrs 360deg thus 1hr covrs 20deg 12 hrs covrs 12*20=240deg ekhon,1 hr in 90min thus in 90min the hour hand goes 20deg tai, for 1min hr hand goes 2/9deg sei jonne, for 40 min hour hnd goes (2/9)*40deg=80/9deg=9deg(approx) thus hr hand covrs total of 240+9=249deg now min hand covrs=40*4=160deg (karon, 90min=360deg 1min=4deg) thus angle betwn them 249-160=89deg :) Q.13. There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsamic, Lemon, and Woody and MI mosaic. To make a perfume that is in demand the following conditions are to be followed: Lilac and Balsamic go together. Woody and MI mosaic go together; Woody and Balsamic never go together. Lemon can be added with any material. (Actually they had also mentioned how much amount of one can be added with how much quantity of the other; but that s not needed for the question.) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume except: 1) Balsamic and Lilac 2) Woody and Lemon 3) MI mosaic and Woody 4) MI mosaic and Lilac Solution:-first is acceptable for perfume since balsamic and liliac are given to be present and second is also acceptable as lemon can be added with any of four ,third is also acceptable as given in question...left fourth is not acceptable as MI mosaic is always with woody...and balsamic is always with liliac ..therefore combination of MI mosaic and liliac cant occur because woody and balsamic are never together Q14: Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 15 + X*(Y Z) Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be? Note: For this type of questions: x+y-z=11 x-y-z=2 x*(y+z)=18 wht shud be the approach to do such type of prob?? Solution:- this question was repeated 3 times for different cases yeah tcs has this 3 type of questions where there is x+y-z,=11 x-y-z ==2 and x*(y+z)=18 if an integer is added to any of the above equations just add the integer to the value of the equations...for example in this case it would be 15+18=33....(dont ask me for explanations why this value comes for those equations..it took me some gruelling sessions to understand that ) Q.15.
