NTT DATA QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. The ratio of two numbers is 5: 6 and their HCF is 34. Find their LCM.
a) 204
b) 1020
c) 170
d) 510

Explanation:
Let the two numbers be 5X and 6X. Since, their HCF = 34. Therefore, X = 34
We know that, Product of two numbers = HCF X LCM
Therefore, 5 * 34 * 6 * 34 = 34 * LCM  LCM = 1020
The correct answer is Option B

2. When integer “N” is divided by 6, it gives a remainder of 4. What is the

remainder when “5N” is divided by 6?
a) 3
b) 2
c) 0
d) 1

Explanation:

Since, when N is divided by 6 it gives the remainder of 4. Number N can be written

as:
N = 6k + 4, Now, Multiply N by 5 => 5N = 30k + 20. It can also be written as 6 *
(5k) + 18 + 2 => 6 * (5k + 3) + 2
Therefore, new Number N = 6 * (5k + 3) + 2, when it is divided by 6 it leaves
remainder 0 for “6 * (5k + 3)” part and 2 remainder for other part. So, total
Remainder = 0+2 = 2
The correct answer is Option B
3. What is the sum of numerator and denominator when 0.448 is written in simplest
fractional form?
a) 1448
b) 362
c) 724
d) 181

Explanation:
0.448 can be written as 448/1000
A Simplest fractional form is the form in which common factor cannot be taken out
further. Therefore, simplest fractional form will be 56/125
The correct answer is Option D
4. When a merchant sold an article for Rs 1105, he incurred a loss of 15 percent.
For how much price the article should be sold to get a profit of 25 percent?
a) 1625
b) 1300
c) 1200
d) 1250

Explanation:
Let the cost price of an article is X. So, X – 0.15X = 1105 (Since merchant sold
the article at a loss of 15 percent)
Therefore, Cost price X = 1300. Now, to earn a profit of 25 percent Selling price =
X + .25X = 1625
The correct answer is Option A
5. A train of length 210 meters and speed 65 Km/hour passes a platform in 45
seconds. Find the length of the platform.
a) 775.24 metres
b) 800 meters
c) 812.75 meters
d) 825 meters

Explanation:
Speed of train = 65 km/hour = (65 * 1000) * 3600 = 18.055 m/sec
Let the length of platform is X. Therefore, (210+X) = 18.055 * 45 [Distance
travelled = Speed * Time]X = 812.475 metres
The correct answer is Option C

6. If 8 birds make 8 nests in 8 days. In how many days 1 bird makes 1 nest?
a) 64
b) 4
c) 8
d) 1

Explanation:
Work done in 1 day by 8 birds = number of nest/number of days = 8/8 =>1
Work was done by 1 bird in a day = 1/8
Therefore, the number of days required by 1 bird to make 1 nest = 8 days
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C

7. What is the probability that the sum of the number on faces is 10 when two
unbiased dice are rolled?
a) 1/12
b) 1/6
c) 1/18
d) 1/9
Explanation:
Since there are 6 faces on each dice. So, the total number of outcomes = 6 * 6 = 36
Number of total favourable outcomes are {4,6}, {5,5}, {6,4}
Therefore, Probability that Sum of numbers is 10 = 3/36 => 1/12
The correct answer is Option A
