https://www.knowledgegate.ai/courses/TCS-PREPARATION
Correct Answer : Option B

Explanation : Let the maximum marks be =100


You scored 45% = 45 out of 100
Your crush scored 60% = 60 out of 100
Let say cut off mark be = x
Then 45 marks = x - 4
and, 60 marks = x + 8
On solving the two equations
5 marks = 4
100 marks = 80

Correct Answer : Option B

Explanation –

Option A - 8,9
The password would be 8653513649
8653513649 ÷ 11 = 786683059
8653513649 ÷ 8 = 1081689206 Remainder 1
⇒ Number cannot be divisible by 8

Option B - 7,8
The password would be 7653513648
7653513648 ÷ 11 = 695773968
7653513648 ÷ 8 = 956689206
⇒ Number is both divisible by 8 and 11

https://www.knowledgegate.ai/courses/TCS-PREPARATION
Option C - 3,4

Correct Answer : Option D

Explanation –

Number of candidates selected from Jabalpur = 16% of 54000

16/100 * 54000 = 8640

Number of candidates selected from Gwalior = 36% of 54000


36/100 * 54000 = 19440

Required % = 8640/19440 * 100 = 44.44%

Hence, the correct option is (D).

For 1994 and 1995 = 50 - 30 = 20.

For 1998 and 1999 = 80 - 80 = 0.

For 1994 and 1997 = 50 - 30 = 20.

For 1997 and 1998 = 80 - 50 = 30.

For 1999 and 2000 = 80 - 60 = 20.

Correct Answer : Option C

Explanation :
CP of first bicycle – 800, SP of first bicycle - 880
CP of second bicycle - 960
SP of second bicycle - 960 + 0.30*960= 1248
Total profit in 2 years = 880+1248-800-960 = 368, profit in 1 year = 184

For Example: Popatlal purchased dozen of lemon
worth Rs. 20 and dozen of apples worth Rs. 100.
Now suppose we need to compare the cost of
apples and lemon.
Therefore, Cost of Apples/ Cost of Lemons = 100/20
=5
Hence we can conclude that apples are 5 times
more expensive than lemon.

A’s share = Rs. (1162 × 35/83) = Rs. 490.
B’s share = Rs. (1162 × 28/83) = Rs. 392.
C’s share = [1162 – (490 + 392)] = Rs. 280.

https://www.knowledgegate.ai/courses/TCS-PREPARATION
Correct Answer : Option A

Explanation:

Total unit of the work is 120 units. In 1 hour A can complete 15 units. In 1 hour B
can complete 12 units. In 1 hour C can complete 10 units .
In 1 hour. A+B+C can complete 37 units.

Therefore in 2 hours A+B+C would have completed 74 units. Remaining work to


be completed is 120-74=46. In 1 hour. B+C can complete 22 units.

Therefore time taken to complete the remaining job =46/22=23/11


=2(1/11) hours.

Step 1: Write each number as a product of its prime factors. This method is called here prime
factorization.
Step 2: Now list the common factors of both the numbers
Step 3: The product of all common prime factors is the HCF ( use the lower power of each common
factor)

Example: Find the HCF of 9/10, 6/15, 12/20, 18/5

https://www.knowledgegate.ai/courses/TCS-PREPARATION

https://www.knowledgegate.ai/courses/TCS-PREPARATION
Example: Find the HCF of 9/10, 6/15, 12/20, 18/5

Solution: According to the HCF formula, HCF = HCF of numerator/LCM of the denominator.
So finding the HCF of the numerators:
9 = 1×3×3
6 = 1×2×3
12 = 1×2×2×3
18 = 1×2 × 3 × 3
Therefore, the HCF of 9, 6, 12, 18 = 3
10 = 1×2×5
15 = 1×3×5
20 = 1×2×2×5
5 = 1×5
Therefore, the LCM of 10, 15, 20, 5 = 60
HCF = HCF of numerators/LCM of the denominators
HCF = 3/60
Therefore, the HCF of 9/10, 6/15, 12/20, 18/5 is 3/60

Explanation –
F(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+7xy+2
so
f(1+1)=f(1)+f(1)+7*1*1+2
=4+4+7+2
=17

f(2)=17
f(2+2)=f(2)+f(2)+7*2*2+2
=17+17+28+2
=64 https://www.knowledgegate.ai/courses/TCS-PREPARATION

https://www.knowledgegate.ai/courses/TCS-PREPARATION

f(4+1)=f(4)+f(1)+7*4*1+2
=64+4+28+2
=98

f(5)=98

Average = Sum of all observations / Number of observations

Let x1, x2, x3 ……. xN be N numbers and A be the average of these numbers, then

A = (x1 + x2 + x3 + …… + xN) / N

A = Sum of N numbers / N

CONVENTIONS FOR SOLVING PROBLEM ON TRAINS
1. When a train passes an object of negligible length (Example: pole, man, stone etc),
it should travel a distance equal to its own length to cross the object.

2. When a train passes a bridge or a platform or a tunnel of given length, it should


travel a distance equal to the sum of its own length and the length of the
bridge/platform for crossing it.

3. When two trains are moving parallel on tracks, in opposite direction => They cross
each other with a relative speed equal to sum of their speeds.

4. When two trains are moving parallel on tracks, in same direction => They cross each
other with a relative speed equal to difference of their speeds.
