Dear students,
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.

Q8. Pipe A basically used as inlet pipe and pipe B is used as outlet pipe. Pipes A and B both are opened simultaneously, all the time.

(a) 3 : 1
(b) 5 : 2
(c) 1 : 3
(d) 3 : 2
(e) None of these
Q9. Pipe A can fill the tank in 4 hours, while pipe B can fill it in 6 hours working separately. Pipe C can empty whole the tank in 4 hours. He opened the pipe A and B simultaneously to fill the empty tank. He wanted to adjust his alarm so that he could open the pipe C when it was half-filled, but he mistakenly adjusted his alarm at a time when his tank would be 3/4th filled.

(a) 48 min.
(b) 54 min.
(c) 30 min.
(d) None of these
(e) Can’t be determined
Q10. Pipe A can fill an empty tank in 30 hours while B can fill it 45 hours. Pipe A and B are opened and closed alternatively i.e., first pipe A is opened, then B, again A and then B and so on for 1 hour each time without any time lapse. In how many hours the tank will be filled when it was empty, initially?

(b) 54
(c) 48
(d) 60
(e) None of these
