MOST IMPORTANT quantitative aptitude - 2 EXERCISES
The following question based on Mensuration topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) has increased by 8%.
(b) has increased by 20%.
(c) has increased by 12%.
(d) is exactly the same as the old area.
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (c)
Let initial dimensions be, l & b
∴ Final length is 1.4 l
Final breadth is 0.8 b
∴ Final area is = 1.4 l × 0.8 b
= 1.12 lb
∴ Area is increased by 12%.
Shortcut Method : + 40 – 20 + ${40 × (-20)}/{100}$
= 20 – 8 = 12%
Therefore, the area of the new garden increased by 12%

Question : 1
A cistern 6 m long and 4 m wide contains water up to a depth of 1 m 25 cm. The total area of the wet surface is:
a) 53.5 $m^2$
b) 49 $m^2$
c) 50 $m^2$
d) 55 $m^2$
Answer »Answer: (b)
Area of the wet surface = [2(lb + bh + lh) – lb]
= 2(bh + lh) + lb
= [2(4 × 1.25 + 6 × 1.25) +6 × 4] $m^2 = 49 m^2$.
Question : 2
The curved surface area of a right circular cone is 1.76 $m^2$ and its base diameter is 140 cm. What is the height of the cone?
a) 20 $√2$ cm
b) 10 cm
c) 10 $√2$ cm
d) 10 $√{15}$ cm
Answer »Answer: (d)
Radius of cone = ${140}/2 = 70 cm = {70}/{100}$ = 0.7m
Curved surface are = πrl = 1.76 $m^2$
${22}/7$ × 0.7 × l = 1.76
l = ${1.76 × 7}/{22 × 0.7}$ = 0.8m = 80 cm
height of cone = $√{l^2 - r^2} = √{80^2 - 70^2}$
= $√{1500} = 10√{15}$ cm
Question : 3
Let AB and AC be two rays intersecting at A. If D, E be the points lying on AB, AC respectively and P be the point such that P divides the line DE such that PD : PE = AD : AE. Then, what is the locus of the point P?
a) The perpendicular bisector of angle A
b) The angle bisector of angle A
c) The angle trisector of angle A
d) None of the above
Answer »Answer: (b)
Since, ${PD}/{PE} = {AD}/{AE} = {AP}/{AP}$
ΔDAP and ΔAPE are similar. So, ∠1 = ∠2
AP is bisector of ∠A.
Hence, the locus of P is the bisector of angle A.
Question : 4
A tent is in the form of a right circular cylinder surmounted by a cone. The diameter of the cylinder is 24 m. The height of the cylindrical portion is 11 m, while the vertex of the cone is 16 m above the ground. What is the area of the curved surface for conical portion?
a) 3432/7 sq m
b) 3434/9 sq m
c) 3431/8 sq m
d) 3234/7 sq m
Answer »Answer: (a)
Slant height of the cone = $√{5^2 + 12^2}$
= $√{2 + 144} = √{169} = 13m$
Curved surface area for conical portion = πrl
= ${22}/7 × 12 × 13 = {3432}/7$sq m
Question : 5
The perimeter of a triangular field is 240 m. If two of its sides are 78 m and 50 m, then what is the length of the perpendicular on the side of length 50 m from the opposite vertex?
a) 67.2 m
b) 43 m
c) 52.2 m
d) 70 m
Answer »Answer: (a)
Given, 2s = 240 ⇒ s = 120 and c = 50m, b = 78 m, a = 112m
∴ Area of triangle = $1/2$ × Base × Height
and also, Δ = $√{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$
∴ = $√{120(120 - 112)(120 - 78)(120 - 50)}$
= $√{120 × 8 × 42 × 70} = 1680 m^2$
∵ Area of triangle
= $1/2$ × Base × Height
⇒ 1680 = $1/2$ × 50 × h
∴ h = ${2 × 1680}/{50}$ = 67.2m
Question : 6
A right circular cylinder just encloses a sphere. If p is the surface area of the sphere and q is the curved surface area of the cylinder, then which one of the following is correct?
a) 2p = q
b) P = q
c) p = 2q
d) 2p = 3
Answer »Answer: (b)
p = 4π$r^2$
q = 2πr.h = 2πr. 2r
= 4π $r^2$
Hence, P = q.
