General Aptitude

1.) A bag contains red and blue marbles totaling between 50 and 100 in number. If two marbles are drawn at random, the chances of them both being red are 25%.

(a) 11 (b) 25 (c) 33 (d) 50

2.) Consider the following equation: log 13.25 + 5 log 2 + 3 log 3 + log 12 = log 53 + log 8 + log 27 + X

The value of X is…..

(a) 4 log 26.5 (b) log 12 (c) log 36 (d) 27

3.) Chetan, Bhushan and Shailu start running at the same time from the same point on a circular track of 70 meters radius. Chetan and Bhushan run clockwise and Shailu runs counter clockwise. If Chetan meets Shailu every 66 seconds and Bhushan meets Shailu every 110 seconds, how frequently (in seconds) will Chetan meet Bhushan?

(a) 165 (b) 176 (c) 330 (d) 44

4.) What is the probability that the product of two consecutive non-negative integers will be a number ending with 0.

(a) 0.2 (b) 0.25 (c) 0.3 (d) 0.4

(d) none of the above

4.) Suppose a system has been evolved, called the ternary system, by creatures having only 3 fingers. Numbers in this system are written down, using the digits 0, 1, and 2, with 2>1>0.

What will be the binary equivalent of 222 in this system?
(a) 101010 (b) 11000 (c) 10110 (d) 11010
