TCS APTITUDE

1) Horse started to chase dog as it relieved stable two hours ago. And horse started to ran with average speed 22km/hour, horse crossed 10 mts road and two small pounds with depth 3m, and it crossed two small street with 200 mts length. After travelling 6 hrs, 2 hours after sunset it got dog. Compute the speed of dog? Ans: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it. Hence d = 22*6 = 132km, Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier). Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5km/hr Ans: 16.5km/hr. 2) (There was a long story, I'll cut short it). There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsamic, Lemon, and Woody and MI mosaic.

If a monkey chooses 2 at a time and continues picking then 1 baloon is left. If it picks 5 at a time then the remaining is zero,if it picks 6 at a time then remaining is 3. What is the total number of balloons? a) 72 b) 75 c) 79) d) 80

Ans: 75 ( Just devide the choosing patten in the number and check whether you are getting the remainder as the remaining value). If it chooses 6 at a time and continues then 75-(12*6)=3 which satisfies the condition 18) There are two statements. There is also a question. Choose 1 if the question can be answered by using either one. Choose 2 if the question can be answered using both the statements.

A high way M runs from newtown making an angle of 61 degree south east. from newyork there is also an high way N which runs northeast 61 degrees.if high ways M and N are straight then findout the acute angle made at their intersection point.

Ans: 180-(61+61)=58 (the high ways make a triangle the addition of 3 angles of a triangle is 180) 22) There are 7 meetings A,B,C,D,E,F,G .one meeting should happen in one day.

Ans: Total weight=16+19+156+26+106+15+24+36=398 kg Suppose option is y kg lifted by imran(choose from option) then 3x+y=398 =>x=(398-y)/3 here x should be a whole number then y is the weight lifted by imran.
