1. If 'ROAD' is written as 'URDG', how is 'SLOW' written in that code?

o Answer: D) VORX
o Explanation: Each letter in 'ROAD' is shifted +1 position in the alphabet to get
'URDG'. Applying the same pattern to 'SLOW':

Quantitative Aptitude

26. A boat covers 40 km upstream in 8 hours and the same distance downstream in 4
hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
o Answer: C) 8 km/h
o Explanation:
 Speed upstream = 40 km / 8 hours = 5 km/h
 Speed downstream = 40 km / 4 hours = 10 km/h
 Speed of boat in still water = (Speed downstream + Speed upstream) / 2
 = (10 + 5) / 2 = 7.5 km/h
27. If 5 men can complete a task in 12 days, how long will it take for 8 men to complete
the same task?
o Answer: B) 7.5 days
o Explanation:

28. Simplify: 34+58−716\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{8} - \frac{7}{16}43+85−167
o Answer: C) 1116\frac{11}{16}1611
o Explanation:
 Common denominator = 16
 34=1216\frac{3}{4} = \frac{12}{16}43=1612
 58=1016\frac{5}{8} = \frac{10}{16}85=1610
 34+58−716=1216+1016−716=1516\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{8} - \frac{7}
{16} = \frac{12}{16} + \frac{10}{16} - \frac{7}{16} = \frac{15}{16}43
+85−167=1612+1610−167=1615
29. The average of 8 numbers is 23. If one number is removed, the average becomes 22.
What is the number removed?
o Answer: A) 29
o Explanation:

the width, what is the length?
o Answer: B) 18 m
o Explanation:
 Let width be x meters.
 Length = 2x + 4
 Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 56
 2(2x + 4 + x) = 56
  6x + 8 = 56
 6x = 48
 x=8
 Length = 2(8) + 4 = 20 meters
31. The simple interest on ₹12,000 for 3 years is ₹4,500. Find the rate of interest.
o Answer: A) 8%
o Explanation:
 Simple Interest (SI) = P × R × T / 100

ratio 5:8. What is the present age of the younger person?
o Answer: A) 16 years
o Explanation:
 Let the present ages be 4x and 7x
 After 6 years, ages = 4x + 6 and 7x + 6
 Ratio = (4x + 6) / (7x + 6) = 5/8
 Solving gives x = 4
 Younger person’s age = 4x = 16 years
