Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation

Q: Radhika went to a fruit market with certain amount of money . With this money she can buy either 40 pineapples or 30 apples. She retains 15% of the money for her auto fare. If she buys 14 pineapples, then number of apples she can buy is:-

a.    10
b.    13
c.    12
d.    15

In order to think about this question, think of the total money as 100%, this would mean that a pineapple costs 2.5% and an apple costs 3.33%. 14 pineapples would cost 35% and she retains 15% for auto fare. Thus, from the remaining 50% she would be able to buy 15 apples.

Q:  The students in a class take either English course or Mathematics course or both. Twenty five boys take English and twenty eight girls take mathematics. Twenty girls take only English and thirty boys take only mathematics. Three girls take both subjects.

How many students are there in a class?

a.    100
b.    97
c.    103
d.    Indeterminate

From the three pieces of information, 28 girls take mathematics, three girls take both subjects and 20 girls take English we have 45 girls in the class. (Think Venn diagrams to solve this).

From the remaining information- 25 boys take English and 30 boys take only Mathematics, we know that there must be 55 boys. Hence a total of 45 + 55 =100 students in the class.

a)     OTCCL
b)    OSCCL
