Aptitude Test -4 (Major) - Quiz

Read this before you attempt the quiz. ALUMINI TALK- BHAVIN TITA Hello friends, Here I am sharing my thoughts about my experience related to placement and job. But you all just have to adapt what is for you, because thinking and goals for all individuals are different.
-Placement time You have to decide whether to take placement or not. Because impression of our college is worsen by the fact that our student just took placement for show off and after getting that they are not joining. After which company Read morewon't do placement drive in those colleges. And you also know that now not much companies are visiting our college so this must be decided. And by doing this stupid thing you also don't allow other student who is in need of job. You don't have that right to break some1's dream or career. For placement time I will suggest you that you must b positive & adaptive whatever comes to you. I found 70% companies require positive & Adaptive approach of students in all condition, nothing else. Even you failed to answer single Qs in P. I., you will get selected if they find positivity and adaptability in you. Aptitude of most of companies will be avg. You don't have to do special preparation for aptitude, just refer ur syllabus of civil subjects, mainly: Structural Mechanics and

    Robert is travelling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 P.M. if he travels at 10 kmph, he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 kmph. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 P.M.?

    • A.

      8 kmph

    • B.

      11 kmph

    • C.

      12 kmph

    • D.

      14 kmph

    Correct Answer
    C. 12 kmph
    Explanation
    Let the distance travelled by x km.

    Then, x - x = 2
    10 15
    3x - 2x = 60

    x = 60 km.

    Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60 hrs = 6 hrs.
    10
    So, Robert started 6 hours before 2 P.M. i.e., at 8 A.M.

    Required speed = 60 kmph. = 12 kmph.

    The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 36. What is the difference between the sum and the difference of the digits of the number if the ratio between the digits of the number is 1 : 2 ?

    • A.

      4

    • B.

      8

    • C.

      16

    • D.

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    B. 8
    Explanation
    Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten's digit is greater than the unit's digit.

    Let ten's and unit's digits be 2x and x respectively.

    Then, (10 x 2x + x) - (10x + 2x) = 36

    9x = 36

    x = 4.

    Required difference = (2x + x) - (2x - x) = 2x = 8.

    A, B and C jointly thought of engaging themselves in a business venture. It was agreed that A would invest Rs. 6500 for 6 months, B, Rs. 8400 for 5 months and C, Rs. 10,000 for 3 months. A wants to be the working member for which, he was to receive 5% of the profits. The profit earned was Rs. 7400. Calculate the share of B in the profit.

    • A.

      Rs. 1900

    • B.

      Rs. 2660

    • C.

      Rs. 2800

    • D.

      Rs. 2840

    Correct Answer
    B. Rs. 2660
    Explanation
    For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.

    Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030.

    Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)

    = 39000 : 42000 : 30000

    = 13 : 14 : 10

    B's share = Rs. 7030 x 14 = Rs. 2660.

    Two pipes A and B together can fill a cistern in 4 hours. Had they been opened separately, then B would have taken 6 hours more than A to fill the cistern. How much time will be taken by A to fill the cistern separately?

    • A.

      1 hour

    • B.

      2 hours

    • C.

      6 hours

    • D.

      8 hours

    Correct Answer
    C. 6 hours
    Explanation
    Let's assume that pipe A can fill the cistern in x hours. According to the given information, pipe B would have taken (x+6) hours to fill the cistern if it was opened separately.

    When both pipes are opened together, they can fill the cistern in 4 hours. This means that in 1 hour, they can fill 1/4th of the cistern's capacity.

    In 1 hour, pipe A can fill 1/xth of the cistern's capacity, and pipe B can fill 1/(x+6)th of the cistern's capacity.

    Since they can fill 1/4th of the cistern's capacity in 1 hour when opened together, we can set up the equation:

    1/x + 1/(x+6) = 1/4

    Solving this equation, we find that x = 6.

    Therefore, pipe A will take 6 hours to fill the cistern separately.

    Correct Answer
    B. Twice the distance between the zero of graduation and the foot of the staff
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "twice the distance between the zero of graduation and the foot of the staff." This means that the error produced when calculating the difference in level between a point below the plane of sight and one above is equal to twice the distance between the zero of graduation and the foot of the staff. This suggests that the error increases as the distance between the zero of graduation and the foot of the staff increases.

    Offsets are measured with an accuracy of 1 in 40. If the point on the paper from both sources of error (due to angular and measurement errors) is not to exceed 0.05 cm on a scale of 1 cm = 20 m, the maximum length of offset should be limited to

    • A.

      14.14

    • B.

      28.28 m

    • C.

      200 m

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    B. 28.28 m
    Explanation
    The accuracy of 1 in 40 means that for every 40 units measured, there is a potential error of 1 unit. In this case, the scale is 1 cm = 20 m, so the maximum error allowed is 0.05 cm. To find the maximum length of offset, we can set up a proportion: 1 cm / 20 m = 0.05 cm / x. Solving for x, we find that x = 20 m. Therefore, the maximum length of offset should be limited to 20 m. However, none of the given options match this value, so the correct answer is "none of these."

    For a closed traverse the omitted measurements may be calculated

    • A.

      Length of one side only

    • B.

      Bearing of one side only

    • C.

      Both length and bearing of one side

    • D.

      Length or bearing of adjacent side

    • E.

      All the above.

    Correct Answer
    E. All the above.
    Explanation
    For a closed traverse, the omitted measurements can be calculated in various ways. The length of one side can be calculated using the other measurements and trigonometry. Similarly, the bearing of one side can be determined using the measurements of other sides. Additionally, both the length and bearing of a side can be calculated if the measurements of other sides are known. Lastly, the length or bearing of an adjacent side can be calculated using the measurements of other sides. Therefore, all of the mentioned options are correct and applicable for calculating the omitted measurements in a closed traverse.

    The effective length of a compression member of length L held in position and restrained in direction at one end and effectively restrained in direction but not held in position at the other end, is

    • A.

      L

    • B.

      0.67 L

    • C.

      0.85 L

    • D.

      1.5 L

    Correct Answer
    A. L
    Explanation
    In this scenario, the effective length of the compression member is equal to its actual length, L. This is because it is held in position and restrained in direction at one end, which prevents any lateral movement or buckling. However, it is only effectively restrained in direction at the other end, meaning that it can still experience some lateral movement or buckling, but to a lesser extent compared to being completely unrestrained. Therefore, the effective length is still equal to the actual length, L.

    In a liquid limit test, the moisture content at 10 blows was 70% and that at 100 blows was 20%. The liquid limit of the soil, is

    • A.

      35%

    • B.

      50%

    • C.

      65%

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    C. 65%
    Explanation
    The liquid limit of the soil can be determined by finding the moisture content at the point where the soil transitions from a liquid to a plastic state. In this case, the moisture content at 10 blows is 70% and at 100 blows is 20%. As the number of blows increases, the moisture content decreases. Therefore, the moisture content at the liquid limit is between 20% and 70%. The only option within this range is 65%, so that is the correct answer.

    • B.

      Plastic limit

    • C.

      Shrinkage limit

    • D.

      Permeability limit

    Correct Answer
    B. Plastic limit
    Explanation
    The plastic limit is the minimum water content at which the soil starts to crumble when rolled into threads with a diameter of 3 mm. This means that the soil loses its plasticity and becomes brittle. The plastic limit is an important parameter in soil mechanics and is used to classify soils and determine their engineering properties. It helps in understanding the behavior of soils under different moisture conditions and is crucial in construction and geotechnical engineering projects.

    For given water content, workability decreases if the concrete aggregates contain an excess of

    • A.

      Thin particles

    • B.

      Flat particles

    • C.

      Elongated particles

    • D.

      Flaky paticles

    • E.

      All the above.

    Correct Answer
    E. All the above.
    Explanation
    The workability of concrete refers to its ability to be easily mixed, placed, and compacted. When the concrete aggregates contain an excess of thin particles, flat particles, elongated particles, or flaky particles, it can negatively affect the workability. Thin particles can increase the water demand and decrease the cohesion of the mixture, flat particles can reduce the compactability and increase the water demand, elongated particles can cause segregation and reduce the workability, and flaky particles can reduce the cohesiveness and increase the water demand. Therefore, if the concrete aggregates contain an excess of any of these particles, the workability will decrease.

      All the above.

    Correct Answer
    D. All the above.
    Explanation
    Horizontal construction joints in concrete walls are generally provided at various levels for different purposes. The joint at the soffit level is needed to accommodate the construction sequence, especially when the walls are cast in multiple lifts. The joint at the window sill level allows for proper installation and alignment of windows. Lastly, the joint at the floor level is necessary to separate the wall from the floor slab and prevent cracking due to differential movement. Therefore, all of the above levels require horizontal construction joints in concrete walls.

    As per I.S. 456 - 1978, the pH value of water shall be

    • A.

      Less than 6

    • B.

      Equal to 6

    • C.

      Not less than 6

    • D.

      Equal to 7

    Correct Answer
    C. Not less than 6
    Explanation
    According to I.S. 456 - 1978, the pH value of water should be not less than 6. This means that the pH value of water can be equal to 6 or greater than 6, but it should not be less than 6. The pH value of water is an important parameter as it indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the water. A pH value less than 6 indicates acidic water, which can be detrimental to certain construction materials. Therefore, as per the given standard, the pH value of water should be not less than 6.

    • D.

      In stretcher course next to first brick

    Correct Answer
    C. In header course next to first brick
    Explanation
    Queen closer refers to a brick that has been cut in such a way that one of its corners is removed. It is used to fill the gap left at the end of a course or to create a neat finish at the corners. In this case, placing the queen closer in the header course next to the first brick ensures that the gap is filled and the bricks are aligned properly. This helps to maintain the structural integrity of the wall and provides a clean and professional finish.

    • D.

      1995 and 1996

    Correct Answer
    D. 1995 and 1996
    Explanation
    Total exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z together, during various years are: In 1993 = Rs. (30 + 80 + 60) crores = Rs. 170 crores. In 1994 = Rs. (60 + 40 + 90) crores = Rs. 190 crores. In 1995 = Rs. (40 + 60 + 120) crores = Rs. 220 crores. In 1996 = Rs. (70 + 60 + 90) crores = Rs. 220 crores. In 1997 = Rs. (100 + 80 + 60) crores = Rs. 240 crores. In 1998 = Rs. (50 + 100 + 80) crores = Rs. 230 crores. In 1999 = Rs. (120 + 140 + 100) crores = Rs. 360 crores. Clearly, the total exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z together are same during the years 1995 and 1996.

    • A.

      Rs. 19,450

    • B.

      Rs. 21,200

    • C.

      Rs. 22,950

    • D.

      Rs. 26,150

    Correct Answer
    C. Rs. 22,950
    Explanation
    Based on the pie chart, the printing cost accounts for 40% of the total expenditure. Therefore, if the publisher has to pay Rs. 30,600 for printing, the total expenditure for the books would be 100% of the printing cost divided by 40%, which is Rs. 76,500. The royalty is represented by 30% of the total expenditure, so the amount of royalty to be paid for these books would be 30% of Rs. 76,500, which is Rs. 22,950.
