Numerical ability questions
Q1: A and B together
Problem: A can finish a job in 10 days and B in 20 days. How long will they take working together?
Solution: A’s one-day work = 1/10. B’s one-day work = 1/20. Together = 1/10 + 1/20 = 3/20 per day. Time = 20/3 ≈ 6.67 days (6 days 16 hours).
Answer: 20/3 days
Q2: Train and pole
Problem: A train 150 meters long passes a pole in 15 seconds. What is its speed in km/h?
Solution: Distance = 150 m = 0.15 km. Time = 15 s = 15/3600 h = 1/240 h. Speed = 0.15 ÷ (1/240) = 0.15 × 240 = 36 km/h.
Faster check: 150/15 = 10 m/s → 10 × 18/5 = 36 km/h.
Answer: 36 km/h
Q3: Chain rule copies
Problem: 8 printers print 800 pages in 4 hours. How many printers for 1200 pages in 3 hours?
Solution: Pages ∝ printers × time. 800/(8×4)=1200/(p×3) → 25 = 1200/(3p) → 75p=1200 → p=16.
Answer: 16
Q4: Remainder theorem style
Problem: Find remainder when 7^3 is divided by 5.
Solution: 343 ÷ 5: 5×68=340, remainder 3. Or 7≡2 mod 5; 2³=8≡3.
Answer: 3
Q5: Speed convert
Problem: Convert 18 m/s to km/h.
Solution: Multiply by 18/5: 18 × 18/5 = 64.8 km/h.
Answer: 64.8 km/h
Q6: Fraction simplify
Problem: Simplify: (3/4) ÷ (9/8) × (2/3).
Solution: (3/4) × (8/9) × (2/3) = (3×8×2)/(4×9×3) = 48/108 = 4/9.
Answer: 4/9
Q7: Calendar day
Problem: If 1 January is a Friday, what day is 1 March of a non-leap year?

Q8: Number digit sum
Problem: Sum of digits of a two-digit number is 9. If digits are reversed, number increases by 27. Original number?
Solution: 10a+b; a+b=9; 10b+a = 10a+b+27 → 9b−9a=27 → b−a=3. a+b=9, b−a=3 → b=6, a=3. Number = 36.
Answer: 36
Q9: Algebra ages
Problem: Father is 3 times as old as son. After 12 years he will be twice as old. Son’s present age?
