NPAT Sample Questions for Quantitative Ability

Q) The average age of 13 girls and their teachers is 15 years. If the teacher's age is excluded, then the average age is reduced by 2 years. What is the teacher's age?

• A) 39 years
• B) 41 years
• C) 36 years
• D) 43  years

Answer:  C) 41 years

Explanation:

1. Total number of people = 13 girls + 1 teacher = 14 people
2. Sum of the age of 13 girls and a teacher = 14 × 15 = 210 years
3. It is given that if the teacher's age is excluded, then the average age reduces by 2 years.
4. The average in this case = 15 - 2 = 13 years
5. Sum of age of 13 years = 13 × 13 = 169 years
6. The age of the teacher = Sum of the age of 13 girls and a teacher - Sum of the age of 13 years
7. The age of the teacher = 210 - 169 = 41 year

Q) A train 220m long running at a speed of 60km/hr. At what time will it pass a man who is running at 6km/hr in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?

• A) 12 seconds
• B) 17 seconds
• C) 13 seconds
• D) 14 seconds

Correct Answer: A) 12 seconds

Explanation: 

Step 1: Determine the speeds of the train and the man.

• Speed of the Train = 60 Kmph
• Speed of the Man = 6 Kmph

Step 2: Calculate the relative speed. Since they are moving in opposite directions, we add the two speeds.

• Relative Speed = Speed of the Train + Speed of the Man = 60 Kmph + 6 Kmph = 66 Kmph

Step 3: Convert the relative speed from Kmph to m/s by multiplying by 5/18.

• Speed per Second = Relative Speed * (5/18) = 66 Kmph * (5/18) = 55/3 m/s

Step 4: Calculate the time taken to cross each other. This is done by dividing the length of the train by the speed per second.

• Time taken to cross each other = Length of the Train / Speed per Second = 220 m / (55/3) m/s = (220*3)/55 s = 12 s

Step 5: Hence, the right choice is 5. This means it takes 12 seconds for the train and the man to cross each other.

Q) How many following numbers are divisible by 132?

264, 396, 468, 762, 968, 2178, 5184, 6336

• A) 4
• B) 5
• C) 6
• D) 7

Correct Answer: A) 4

Explanation: 

Step 1: Identify the co-prime numbers.

• Here, 3, 4, and 11 are pairwise co-prime numbers.

Step 2: Calculate the product of the co-prime numbers.

• The product is 132, which is equal to 3 × 4 × 11. Also, 3, 4, and 11 are factors of 132.

Step 3: Understand the divisibility rule.

• If a number is divisible by 3, 4, and 11, the number will also be divisible by their product, 132. Conversely, if a number is not divisible by 3, 4, or 11, it is not divisible by 132.

Step 4: Check the divisibility of each number.

Number	Divisible by 3	Divisible by 4	Divisible by 11	Divisible by 132
264	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
396	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
462	Yes	No	Yes	No
792	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
968	No	Yes	Yes	No
2178	Yes	No	Yes	No
5184	Yes	Yes	No	No
6336	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Step 5: Conclude the answer.

• Hence, only 264, 396, 792, and 6336 are divisible by 132. So, the answer is 4. This means there are 4 numbers that are divisible by 132.

Q) A money lender lends out Rs. 25000 in two parts, one at 8% and the other is at 8.5%. If the total annual income on the amount is Rs.2031.25, the money lent at 8% is?

• A) Rs.12500
• B) Rs.6250
• C) Rs.10000
• D) Rs.18,750

Correct Answer: B) Rs.6250

Explanation: 

Step 1: Define the unknown.

• Let the sum lent at 8% be Rs. x. Then, the sum lent at 9% = Rs. (25,000 – x).

Step 2: Calculate the total income.

• Total income = (income from 8% + income from 9%). Given, total income = Rs. 2,187.50.

Step 3: Calculate the income from each part.

• Income from 8% = (8/100) x.
• Income from 9% = (9/100)(25,000 – x).

Step 4: Set up the equation for total income.

• Total income = (8/100) x + (9/100)(25,000 – x) = (8/100) x + (9/100) x – (9/100) x + 2,250 = (1/100) x + 2,250.

Step 5: Solve the equation.

• Given, total income = Rs. 2,187.50. Therefore, (1/100) x + 2,250 = 2,187.50.
• (1/100) x = 2,187.50 – 2,250.
• (1/100) x = – 62.50.
• x = – 62.50 x 100.
• x = Rs. 6,250.

Step 6: Hence, the sum lent at 8% is Rs. 6,250. This means that out of the total Rs. 25,000, Rs. 6,250 was lent at an interest rate of 8%.

Q) If 3/5 of a number is 23 more than 50% of the same number, then what will be the 80% of the number?

• A) 92
• B) 184
• C) 180
• D) 186

Correct Answer: B) 184

Explanation: 

• Step 1: Let’s denote the number as ‘x’.
• Step 2: According to the given information, (3/5)x = (1/2)x + 23.
• Step 3: To solve for ‘x’, let’s isolate ‘x’: (3/5)x - (1/2)x = 23.
• Step 4: Simplify the equation: (6/10)x - (5/10)x = 23, which simplifies to (1/10)x = 23.
• Step 5: Now, multiply both sides by 10 to find ‘x’: x = 230.
• Step 6: Now that we know the value of ‘x’, we can find 80% of the number: 0.8 * 230 = 184.
• Step 7: Therefore, 80% of the number is 184, and the correct option is (a) 184.

Correct Answer: Through

Explanation: 

1. At: This suggests a quick look at the surface or cover.
2. Through: This indicates a more thorough examination to find specific information.

5. Over: This suggests skimming or overlooking the content.

Q. The counsel urged the court to ........................... down the obnoxious law.

• enact
• enforce
• cancel
• strike
• declare

Correct Answer: Strike down

Explanation: 

1. Enact: This means to establish a law. (opposite of strike down)
2. Enforce: This means to put a law into effect.
3. Cancel: This implies stopping something that was already planned.
4. Strike down: This is the legal term for a court declaring a law invalid.

• intimated

Correct Answer: Apprised

Explanation: 

• Explained: This suggests providing a detailed account.

Which of the words/phrases (1), (2), (3), and (4) given below should replace the phrase underlined in the given sentence to make the sentence grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is and no correction is required, mark (5) as the answer

Q. Bad movies affect people living in today’s society more than they did in previous years.

• they had done
• they did those
• they had been done
• they would have done
• No correction required

Correct Answer: No correction required

Explanation: The sentence "Bad movies affect people living in today's society more than they did in previous years" is grammatically correct as it is. It uses the past tense "did" to compare the impact of bad movies in the past to their impact today.

Q. The reason he has been so fat is that he never takes exercises.

• that he has never taken
• that he would never take
• that he never takes
• because he didn’t ever take any
• No correction required

Correct Answer: that he never takes

Explanation: The sentence "The reason he has been so fat is that he never exercises" needs "never takes" to be grammatically correct. We're explaining a habitual action (not exercising) that has led to his current state (being fat).

1. "That he has never taken" is grammatically incorrect because "taken" implies a single past action, not a continuous habit.
2. "That he would never take" suggests a hypothetical future scenario, which doesn't fit the context of explaining his current weight.
3. "Because he didn't ever take any" is awkward and less clear. "Never takes" is more concise and emphasises the ongoing lack of exercise.

Direction: Rearrange the given sentences in a proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph.

Logical Reasoning Questions

Q) Direction: Select the conclusion that best follows from the statement given below.

Statement: No one who likes to watch baseball likes to watch basketball, and all those who like to watch basketball also like to watch football.

Conclusions:

• I. All those who like to watch football like to watch baseball.
• II. No one who likes to watch baseball likes to watch football.
• III. Some of those who like to watch football like to watch baseball.

Options: 

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Only conclusion III follows
• D. Both conclusions I and III follow
• E. None of the conclusions follow

Correct Answer: B. Only conclusion II follows

Explanation: 

1. All those who like to watch football like to watch baseball. This is not necessarily true. The statement says that all those who like to watch basketball also like to watch football, but it doesn’t say anything about football fans also liking baseball.
2. No one who likes to watch baseball likes to watch football. This could be true. The statement says that no one who likes to watch baseball likes to watch basketball, and all those who like to watch basketball also like to watch football. So, it can be inferred that no one who likes to watch baseball likes to watch football.
3. Some of those who like to watch football like to watch baseball. This is not necessarily true. The statement doesn’t provide any information that suggests that some football fans also like baseball.

Q) Direction: Out of the five options given below, four are similar in a certain manner. However, one is not like the other four. Select the one which is different from the rest.

• A. Cold
• B. Chilly
• C. Frosty
• D. Freezing
• E. Sensitive

Correct Answer: 

Explanation: 

A. Cold, B. Chilly, C. Frosty, D. Freezing all refer to different degrees of coldness.

• A. Cold - Mildly cold
• B. Chilly - More noticeably cold
• C. Frosty - Very cold, often with frost present
• D. Freezing - Extremely cold, at or near the freezing point of water
• E. Sensitive describes a characteristic of a person or thing, not a temperature.

Therefore, "Sensitive" doesn't fit the category of describing temperature and is the different option.

Q) Direction: Based on the given image, which of the following options must be true?

• A. Wheels A and D rotate in the same direction.
• B. Wheels A and C rotate in the same direction as wheels B and E.
• C. Wheels A and D rotate in the same direction as wheels B and C.
• D. Wheels B and C rotate in the same direction as wheels D and E.
• E. If wheel A rotates clockwise, wheels B, D and E rotate clockwise.

Correct Answer: E. If wheel A rotates clockwise, wheels B, D and E rotate clockwise.

Explanation: 

1. If wheel A rotates clockwise, wheel B will rotate counter-clockwise (because they are connected directly).
2. Wheel B’s counter-clockwise rotation will cause wheel C to rotate counter-clockwise as well (because they are connected by a crossed belt).
3. Wheel C’s counter-clockwise rotation will cause wheel D to rotate clockwise (because they are connected directly).
4. Finally, wheel D’s clockwise rotation will cause wheel E to rotate clockwise as well (because they are connected by a crossed belt).

So, if wheel A rotates clockwise, wheels B, D, and E will also rotate clockwise. Therefore, the correct answer is E. If wheel A rotates clockwise, wheels B, D, and E rotate clockwise.
