GATE 2024: Can You Solve These Aptitude Questions in 4 Minutes?-Accept this Challenge!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Question 1: The Family Puzzle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Understanding family relations is paramount for analytical reasoning, a skill tested in GATE aptitude. Here’s a snippet of the question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the statements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I: E is son of C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II: B is son of D<\/p>\n\n\n\n

III: A is sister-in-law of C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IV: D is father-in-law of C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V: B is father of E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the above information, A is ____ of E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) Mother<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) Niece<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(3) Aunt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4) Daughter-in-law<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ans: 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I: E is son of C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II: B is son of D<\/p>\n\n\n\n

III: A is sister-in-law of C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IV: D is father-in-law of C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V: B is father of E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From above statements, we get,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C is wife B. E is son of C and B. A is sister of B or A is wife of C\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case 1: When A is sister of B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Case 2: When A is wife of C\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In both the cases, A is aunt of E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, option c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 2: Painting the Pool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Calculating the cost of painting a pool involves geometry and arithmetic\u2014a classic aptitude challenge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the cost of painting a swimming pool that is 12 metres deep, 20 metres wide and 30 meters long given that the cost of painting the pool is Rs. 25 per m2<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) Rs. 45,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) Rs. 40,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(3) Rs. 36,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4) Rs. 32,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ans: 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total surface area of pool = 2 \u00d7 {(12 \u00d7 20) + (20 \u00d7 30) + (30 \u00d7 12)} = 2 \u00d7 (240 + 600 + 360) = 2400 m2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since we\u2019re not painting the roof, actual area to paint = 2400 \u2013 (20 \u00d7 30) = 1800 m2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, required cost = 1800 \u00d7 25 = Rs. 45,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, option a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 3: Word Analogy Challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Analogies, a common aptitude theme, test your linguistic prowess. Here’s a language analogy challenge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select the word that fits the analogy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anger: Angry :: Humility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) humiliate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) humour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(3) humble<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4) humorous<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ans: 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> ANGER is the noun, while ANGRY is the adjective. So, the relationship between the second pair of words should be the same. HUMILITY is the noun, and its adjective form is HUMBLE. Thus, C is the right answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humiliate (v.) – insult. Humour (n.) – wit. Humorous (adj.) – funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 4: Reflection in Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spatial aptitude often comes into play. Try this reflection challenge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identify the correct water image of the given combination.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ans: 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water image of the given combination is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hence, option b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 5: Arithmetic Progression Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mathematical acumen is a cornerstone of aptitude. Here’s a taste of arithmetic progression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sum of first \u2018n\u2019 terms of an Arithmetic progression is [2n2<\/sup> + 3n], where \u2018n\u2019 is number of terms. Find the sum of 4th<\/sup>, 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> term of the sequence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) 63<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) 46<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(3) 51<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4) 75<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ans: 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required sum = Sum of 4th<\/sup> term + sum of 5th<\/sup> term + sum of 6th<\/sup> term<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, required sum = sum of first 6 terms \u2013 sum of first 3 terms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= [2 \u00d7 62<\/sup> + 3 \u00d7 6] \u2013 [2 \u00d7 32<\/sup> + 3 \u00d7 3]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (72 + 18) \u2013 (18 + 9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 63<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, option a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
