Numerical Ability or Quantitative Aptitude Section has given heebie-jeebies to the aspirants when they appear for a banking examination. As the level of every other section is only getting complex and convoluted, there is no doubt that this section, too, makes your blood run cold. The questions asked in this section are calculative and very time-consuming. But once dealt with proper strategy, speed, and accuracy, this section can get you the maximum marks in the examination. Following is the Quantitative Aptitude quiz to help you practice with the best of latest pattern questions.




Q1. Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 143 and that of the last two is 187. The sum of the three numbers is:

53
41
38
65
77
Solution:

Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor
Also, the given two products have the middle number in common
So, middle number
⇒ H.C.F. of 143 and 187 = 11
⇒ First number = 143 /11= 13
⇒ Third number = 187 /11= 17
⇒ Required sum = (11 + 13 + 17) = 41
∴ Sum of the three numbers is 41

Q2. What is the value of 2 consecutive natural numbers, sum of whose squares is 145?

8, 9
6, 7
13, 14
9, 10
14, 15
Solution:

Let’s assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers be ‘n’ and ‘n + 1’
⇒ n² + (n + 1)² = 145
⇒ 2n² + 1 + 2n = 145
⇒ 2n² + 2n - 144 = 0
⇒ n² + n - 72 = 0
By middle term splitting, we get,
⇒ n² + 9n - 8n - 72 = 0
⇒ n(n + 9) - 8(n + 9) = 0
⇒ (n - 8)(n + 9) = 0
⇒ n = 8, -9
n can’t take negative values, as it is a natural number.
⇒ n = 8
⇒ n + 1 = 9
∴ Two numbers are 8 and 9

Q4. A number when divided by 6 leaves remainder 3. When the square of the same number is divided by 6, the remainder is

0
1
2
3
5
Solution:

Let the number be ‘x’
x = 6y + 3
x² = (6y + 3)²
x² = 36y² + 36y + 9
x² = 6 × (6y² + 6y + 1) + 3
∴ When the square of the same number is divided by 6, the remainder will be 3.

Q5. At a telephone exchange, three phones ring at intervals of 20 sec, 24 sec and 30 seconds - If they ring together at 11:25 am, when will they next ring together?

11: 29 pm
11: 27 am
11: 51 am
12: 29 pm
None of these
Solution:

Time taken by three phones to ring together = LCM of 20, 24 and 30
⇒ Time taken by three phones to ring together = 120 seconds
(∵ 1 min = 60 seconds)
⇒ Time taken by three phones to ring together = 120/60 = 2 min
If the three phones ring together at 11:25 am then they will next ring together after 2 minutes i.e. at 11:27 am.
∴ Time at which the phones next ring together = 11:27 am

SBI Clerk Quantitative Aptitude Quiz: 10th May 2019 |_5.1

⇒ 200 – 5a = 180 – 3a
⇒ a = 10 years

Q7. Eighteen years ago, a father was three times as old as his son. Now the father is only twice as old as his son. Then the sum of the present ages of the son and the father is:

54
72
105
108
112
Solution:

Let present age of son = x year
∴ Present age of father = 2x years
ATQ,
2x – 18 = 3 (x – 18)
⇒ x = 36 years = son’s age
∴ Father’s present age = 72 years
∴ Required sum = 72 + 36 = 108 years

Q8. Sushil got married 6 years ago. His age is 7/6 times of his age at the time of his marriage. Three years ago, his son was 3 years old. The ratio of their (Sushil’s son & Sushil) present age is:

1 : 6
1 : 7
2 : 7
6 : 1
8 : 1
Solution:

Let Sushil’s present age = x years
∴ His age during marriage = (x – 6) years
ATQ,

SBI Clerk Quantitative Aptitude Quiz: 10th May 2019 |_6.1

⇒ x = 42 years
∴ present age of son = 3 + 3 = 6 years
∴ Required ratio = 42: 6
= 7: 1 or 1: 7

Q9. 1 year ago, a mother was 4 times older to her son. After 6 years, her age becomes more than double her son’s age by 5 years. The ratio of present age of mother to the present age of son will be:

13 : 12
3 : 1
11 : 3
25 : 7
7 : 25
Solution:

Let present age of mother and son be x and y years respectively.
Then, x - 1 = 4(y - 1)
⇒ x = 4y – 3 ...(i)
And, x + 6 = 2 (y + 6) + 5 ...(ii)
⇒ 4y – 3 + 6 = 2y + 12 + 5
⇒ 4y + 3 = 2y + 17
⇒ y = 14/2 = 7 years
And, x = 25 years
And, Required ratio = 25: 7

⇒ 4x + 8 = 5x + 4
⇒ x = 4
∴ Required difference = (5x - 2x)
= 3x = 3 × 4
= 12 yrs
