Question 1- What is the sum ( in RS) which when divided among X Y Z in the
proportion 3:5:7 provides rupees 8000 more to Z then what it would have done to him
when the proportion is 11 : 15 : 19?

a. 180000
b. 120000
c. 175000
d. 135000

Answer 1:
X:Y:Z
3: 5: 7
Z got 8000 more = 2 parts more than Y
If 2 parts = 8000
Then 1 part = 4000
Final ratio = 11: 15: 19 = 45 parts
45 x 4000 = Rs 180000

Question 2- If the positive square root of ( ) is multiplied by

( ) and the product is raised to the power of four, the result would be

a. 100
b. 1600
c. 11520000
d. 10

Answer 2: 10 (use the TCS calculator directly to find the answer of this question)

Question 3- A man has to travel 50 km in 2 hours. He could cover 20 km in one hour,

and then had to stop for 10 minutes for refueling. By What factor should he increase his
speed with reference to that during the first hour so as to be able to complete the journey
as per schedule?

a. 1.5
b. 1.8
c. 1.2
d. 2.4

Answer 3: Total time he has = 2 hrs

total distance he has to covered = 50 km
in first 1 hr he completed 20 km
so S1= 20 km/hr
so remaining distance = 50-20 = 30 Km
and remaining time = 1 hr
now he spent 10 minutes for refueling
so total remaining time he has = 60-10 = 50 minutes
he has to complete 30 km in this time
speed = 30/(10/60) km/hr
speed = 36 km/hr
for making a factor of initial speed as 20 km/hr
multiply 36 with 20/20
speed = 36x(20/20)
=(1.8x S1 )km\hr
= 1.8 km/hr ----- Ans (As S1 is 20km/hr)

Question 4- X is four times as efficient as Y in respect of doing a particular work.

Working together they complete the work in 16 days. If you see this text know that this
hardwork of PrepInsta was stolen by another company. In how many days y working
alone will be able to half the work?

a. 80
b. 20
c. 40
d. 60

Answer 4: Efficiency of X = 4a
Efficiency of Y = a
Time taken by both to complete a work = 16 days
a = 20
Hence X will do the work in 20 days
And Y will do the work in 80 days
Thus Y will do half of work in 40 days

Note -
Efficiency and time taken are inversely proportional
So, if a = 20

then efficiency of X is 4 times of Y

So Y will do the task in 80 days and will complete half of the task in 40 days

Question 5- If = 225 x 405, find the value of

a. 27
b. 81
c. 125
d. 25

Answer 5: Prime Factorization of 225 = 5 x 5 x 3 x 3

Prime Factorization of 405 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5
5336 = 5X3Y
So X = 3 and Y = 6
Now, X2y - 3x = 32(6) - 3(3)
312 - 9 = 33 = 27

Question 6- The collection of numbers which comprise the data given below is arranged
in ascending order.
(3,7,9, N - 1,15,18,19,20)

If the median of the data is 12.5, what is the value of N?

a. 10.5
b. 11.5
c. 11
d. 12

Answer 6: 11
Median of the even data = (sum of middle terms) / 2
= [(N - 1) + 15] / 2 = 12.5

Question 7 - How much percentage is (0.025% of 240% of 1.5) of 0.9?

a. 10
b. 0.01
c. 0.1
d. 1
Answer 7: 0.01%
0.025% of 240% of1.5 = 0.0009
0.01 % of 9 = 0.0009

Question 8 - After purchasing two copies of the same book, X sold them respectively at
0.8 and 1.4 times their cost prices. What was the percentage gain earned or loss incurred
by X?
a. 10% loss
b. 5% gain
c. 10% gain
d. 5% loss

Answer 8: 10% gain

Let the C.P of each copy be Rs 100
ATQ one copy is sold at 0.8 x 100 = 80
One copy is sold at 1.4 x 100 = 140
Total money spent in buying the copies = Rs 200
Total money earned after selling the copies = Rs (80 + 140) = Rs 220
Total gain of Rs 20. Therefore gain% = 10%.

Question 9: A file of cadets consisting of ten rows and five columns measures 420 m in
length along the direction of their marching. How much time (in hours and minutes)
would it take to march for a stretch of 3 km, if the stride of each cadet is 80 cm and he
takes 57 strides per minute?

a. 1 hr 10 min
b. 1 hr 20 min
c. 1 hr 24 min
d. 1 hr 15 min

Answer 9:

So total distance need to be covered by last cadet

=> D = 420

Speed = per sec

 =

=>
= 75 min = 1 hr 15 min

d. 60

Answer 11: Area of sector when arc is given = (L x r)/2

Where L = length of arc and r = radius of the circle
Here L = 8 cm and r = 15 cm
Therefore, Area = = 60cm2

Question 12- In a competitive exam, 5 marks are awarded for every correct answer and
for every wrong answer, 2 marks are deducted. Sathwik scores 32 marks in the
examination. If 4 marks had been awarded for each correct answer and 1 mark had been
deducted for each incorrect answer, Sathwik would have scored 34 marks. If Sathwik

1. 14
2. 12
3. 20
4. 26

Answer 12: 26 Answer

In given Question:-
Correct answer =5x and wrong answer=2y
Correct answer =4x and wrong answer= 1y

So,
5x -2y = 32
4x-2y =34----- *2
Now
5x-2y =32
8x-4y=68
By solving
3x=36
x=12

Now to find ‘y’

5*12 -2y =32
60 -2y= 32
y=14
By adding x+y

Questions in the test =26

Question 13- An item was sold at a profit of 12% after giving a discount of 12.5% on the
list price. What would be the gain or loss percentage if a discount of 25% is given on the
list price ?

1. 2.5% gain
2. 2.5% loss
3. 4% loss
4. 4% gain

Answer 13:
Cp ------- > 100%
Sp -------- > 112% (12% profit)
But Sp is 12.5% of M.P => 12.5% discount
=> 87.5% of M.P = 112
=> list price = 128
25% discount on M.P = 25% of 128 = 32
=> 128 - 32 = 96 = S.P
C.P = 100 => SP = 96 => 4% loss

Question 14- The mean of a set of data is 5. What will be the mean if ten is subtracted
from each data ?

1. -5
2. 5
3. 10
4. -15
Answer 14: -5
let the number of data be n
so sum of data = mean * number of data
=5n
now 10 is subtracted to each data
so now sum becomes = 5n-10n =-5n
mean = sum of data /no. of data
=-5n/n = -5
so new mean becomes -5

Question 15- If (x+10)% of 240 is 60% more than x% of 180, then 15% of (x+20) is
what percent less than 25% of x ?

1. 15
2.
3. 16
4.

Answer 15:
(x + 10)% of 240 = x% of 180 + 60% of 180
if you solve this expression x value = 50
15% of x+20 is 10.5
25% of x is 12.5
so how much less = 2/12.5 * 100 = 16

Questions 16- What is the diameter (in cm) of a solid right circular cylinder whose
height is 6 cm and the area of the curved surface is five times the combined area of the
two flat surfaces

1. 2.4
 2. 0.9
3. 1.2
4. 3
Answer 16: 1.2
Here h = 6 cm
C.S.A = 2 rh
2 rh = 5(2 )
2 x x r x 6 = 10 x x
12 x x r = 10 x x
12 = 10r
1.2 = r
Then diameter is 2.4

Questions 17- A sum invested on simple interest grows to Rs 22500/- and Rs 25500/- is
seven and nine years respectively. If you see this text know that this hardwork of
PrepInsta was stolen by another company. What is the rate percentage of the interest ?
1. 7.5
2. 9.6
3. 12.5
4. 13.5

Answer 17: Total Interest of two years= 25500-22500=3000

Interest of one year= 3000/2 = 1500
Total Interest = 9 * 1500 = 13500
Principle = 25500 - 13500 = 12000
R= I * 100/P *t
= 13500 *100/1200*9 = 12.5

Coding Question 1 (Slot - 1)

There is a JAR full of candies for sale at a mall counter. JAR has the capacity N,
that is JAR can contain maximum N candies when JAR is full. At any point of time.
JAR can have M number of Candies where M<=N. Candies are served to the
customers. JAR is never remain empty as when last k candies are left. JAR if
refilled with new candies in such a way that JAR get full.
Write a code to implement above scenario. Display JAR at counter with available
number of candies. Input should be the number of candies one customer can order
at point of time. Update the JAR after each purchase and display JAR at Counter.
Output should give number of Candies sold and updated number of Candies in
JAR.
If Input is more than candies in JAR, return: “INVALID INPUT”

Given,
N=10, where N is NUMBER OF CANDIES AVAILABLE
K =< 5, where k is number of minimum candies that must be inside JAR ever.

Example 1:(N = 10, k =< 5)

Input Value

Output Value
NUMBER OF CANDIES SOLD : 3
NUMBER OF CANDIES AVAILABLE : 7

Example : (N=10, k<=5)

Input Value

Coding Question 2 (Slot - 1)

Selection of MPCS exams include a fitness test which is conducted on ground. There
will be a batch of 3 trainees, appearing for running test in track for 3 rounds.

You need to record their oxygen level after every round. After trainee are finished
with all rounds, calculate for each trainee his average oxygen level over the 3 rounds
and select one with highest oxygen level as the most fit trainee. If more than one
trainee attains the same highest average level, they all need to be selected.

Display the most fit trainee (or trainees) and the highest average oxygen level.

Note:
1. The oxygen value entered should not be accepted if it is not in the range
between 1 and 100.
2. If the calculated maximum average oxygen value of trainees is below 70 then
declare the trainees as unfit with meaningful message as “All trainees are
unfit”
3. Average Oxygen Values should be rounded.

Example 1:

INPUT VALUES
95
92
95
92
90
92
90
92
90

OUTPUT VALUES
Trainee Number : 1
Trainee Number : 3

Note:
Input should be 9 integer values representing oxygen levels entered in order as

Round 1
Oxygen value of trainee 1
Oxygen value of trainee 2
Oxygen value of trainee 3

Round 2
Oxygen value of trainee 1
Oxygen value of trainee 2
Oxygen value of trainee 3

Round 3
Oxygen value of trainee 1
Oxygen value of trainee 2
Oxygen value of trainee 3
