Numerical Ability Quiz with solutions For SSC CGL 206


Ques 1.

A merchant has 100 kg of rice , part of which he sells at 10% and the rest at 20% profit. If he gains 15% on the whole , the amount sold at 10% profit is ?

Solution :

10                         20


               15


5                              5


Ratio = 5:5=1:1

Amount of rice sold at 10% profit = 1/2   *100= 50 kgs


Ques 2.

The angle made by the x + √3y -6 = 0 with positive direction of x-axis is ?

Solution :

==> √3y = 6 - x
==>y = 6/√3 - 1/√3x

Y = Mx+C

M = -1/3

Tan Î¸ = -1/3
==> -Tan Î¸ =Tan (180-30) = Tan 150
==>θ = 150



Ques 3.

If secθ = 13/5 , then what is the value of (2sinθ -3cosθ )/(4sinθ -9cosθ ) = ?


Solution :

==> sec^2 Î¸ = 169/25
==>1+ tan^2 Î¸ = 169/25
==>tan^2 Î¸ = 144/25
==>tan Î¸ = 12/5


(2sin Î¸ -3 cos Î¸ )/(4sinθ -9cosθ ) = (2 tan Î¸-3)/(4tan Î¸-9)

==> (24-15)/(48-45) = 3



Ques 4.

If ratio of the areas of two square is 225:256 , then the ratio of their perimeter is


Solution :

(a1/a2)^2 = 225/256

==> a1/a2 = 15/16

Ratio of perimeter = 4a1/4a2 = a1/a2 = 15:16


Ques 5.

If 3x^3 - 2x^2 * y -13xy^2+10y^3 is divided by x-2y , then what is the remainder ?


Solution :

x-2) 3x^3 - 2x^2 * y -13xy^2+10y^3 ( 3x^2+4xy-5y^2

       3x^3- 6x^2y 
-----------------------------
                4x^2y -13xy^2
                4x^2y -8 xy^2
------------------------------------------
                       -5xy^2 +10y^3
                       -5xy^2+10y^3
-----------------------------------------------
      Remainder =          0


Ques 6.

If 2600 is divided among 3 persons X,Y and Z in ratio  1/2 :1/3 : 1/4 , How much does Y gets ?


Solution :

==>  1/2 :1/3 : 1/4  = 6 :4:3

Y gets = 4/13 * 2600 = 800


Ques 7.

Two trains of lengths 100m and 150m are travelling in opposite directions at speeds 75 kmph and 50kmph respectively. What is the time taken by them to cross each other?


Solution :

Total length to cross each other = 100+150 = 250m
Relative speed = 75+50=125kmph

By multiplying with 10 you will get , how many meters its travelled in  36sec 

1250m -------------36
250 m.   ---------- ?

Time = 36/5 = 7.2sec


Ques 8.

A fruit seller buys Oranges at 4 for a rupee and sells them 5 for three rupees. What is his gain per cent ?


Solution :


1/4 ----------100%

3/5 ---------- ?

= 3/5 * 100*4 = 120%

Profit = 120-100=20%


Ques 9.

The value of ( 0.9*0.9*0.9+0.2*0.2*0.2*0.3*0.3*0.3-3*0.9*0.2*0.3) / (0.9*09+0.2*0.2+0.3*0.3-0.9*0.2-0.2*0.3-0.3*0.9 ) = ?



Solution : 

Its in ( a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc)/(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca) form 

==>a+b+c 

So 

== 0.9+0.2+0.3 = 1.4


Ques 10.

80 liters of milk and water content 10% of water . The water to be added to make the water content 30% in the new mixture is ?


Solution : 

Water : milk = 10 : 90 = 1:9

In 80 liters water = 8
                    Milk = 72

==> (water + x )/milk = 30/70 = 3/7
==> (8+x)/72 = 3/7
==> 56+7x = 216
==> 7x = 160
X = 160/7 liters to be add
