Dear Aspirants,

Quantitative Aptitude Quiz For SBI PO

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.

Directions (1-5): In each of the following questions two equations are given. You have to solve the equations and Give answer –

Q1. I. 8x² + 18x + 9 = 0
II. 4y² + 19y + 21 = 0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 8x² + 18x + 9 = 0
⇒ 8x² + 12x + 6x + 9 = 0
⇒ (2x + 3) (4x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = –3/2, –3/4
II. 4y² + 19y + 21 = 0
⇒ 4y² + 12y + 7y + 21 = 0
⇒ (y + 3) (4y + 7) = 0
⇒ x = –3, –7/4
x >y

Q2. I. 3x² + 16x + 21 = 0
II. 6y² + 17y + 12 = 0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 3x² + 16x + 21 = 0
⇒ 3x² + 9x + 7x + 21 = 0
⇒ (x + 3) (3x + 7) = 0
⇒ x = –3, –7/3
II. 6y² + 17y + 12 = 0
⇒ 6y² + 9y + 8y + 12 = 0
⇒ 3y (2y + 3) + 4 (2y + 3) = 0
⇒ y = – 3/2, –4/3
y > x

Q3. I. 16x² + 20x + 6 = 0
II. 10y² + 38y + 24 = 0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 16x² + 20x + 6 = 0
⇒ 8x² + 10x + 3 = 0
⇒ 8x² + 4x + 6x + 3 = 0
⇒ (2x + 1) (4x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = –1/2, –3/4
II. 10y² + 38y + 24 = 0
⇒ 5y² + 19y + 12 = 0
⇒ 5y² + 15y + 4y + 12 = 0
⇒ (y + 3) (5y + 4) = 0
y = –3, –4/5
x > y

Q4. I. 8x² + 6x = 5
II. 12y² – 22y + 8 = 0

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 8x² + 6x – 5 = 0
⇒ 8x² + 10x – 4x – 5 = 0
⇒ (4x + 5) (2x – 1) = 0
⇒ x = ½, –5/4
II. 12y² – 22y + 8 = 0
⇒ 6y² – 11y + 4 = 0
⇒ 6y² – 3y – 8y + 4 = 0
⇒ (2y – 1) (3y – 4) = 0
⇒ y = 1/2, 4/3
y ≥ x

Q5. I. 17x² + 48x = 9
II. 13y² = 32y – 12

if x < y

if x ≤ y

relationship between x and y cannot be determined

if x ≥ y

if x > y

Solution:

I. 17x² + 48x – 9 = 0
⇒ 17x² + 51x – 3x – 9 = 0
⇒ (x + 3) (17x – 3) = 0
⇒ x = 3/17, – 3
II. 13y² – 32y + 12 = 0
⇒ 13y² – 26y – 6y + 12 = 0
⇒ (y – 2) (13y – 6) = 0
⇒ y = 2, 6/13
y > x

Directions (6-8): Each question below is followed by two statements A and B. You have to determine whether the data given in the statement is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose the best possible answer.

Q6. Triangle ABC has angle BAC equal to 90°. What is the measure of the angle ABC?
A. The angle ACB is 35°.
B. The angle CBA is 55°.

if the statement A alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement B alone is not sufficient.

if the statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement A alone is not sufficient.

if both statements A and B together are needed to answer the question.

if either the statements A alone or statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question

if you cannot get the answer from the statements A and B together, but need even more data.

Solution:

From statement A
∠ABC = 180 – (∠BAC + ∠ACB)
= 180 – (90+ 35) = 55°
From statement B, ∠ABC = 55°

Q7. X, Y and Z are three consecutive even numbers (not necessarily in this order). What is the sum of these numbers?
A. The difference between X and Z is 4.
B. One-third of Y is 14.

if the statement A alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement B alone is not sufficient.

if the statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement A alone is not sufficient.

if both statements A and B together are needed to answer the question.

if either the statements A alone or statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question

if you cannot get the answer from the statements A and B together, but need even more data.

Solution:

A. x - z = 4 or z - x = 4
B. y/3 = 14 ⇒ y = 42
So, nos. are 40, 42, 44
So, both statements together are required to answer the question

Q8. What is the salary of P, in a group of P, Q, R, S, T and U, if average salary of group is Rs. 35,000?
A. Total of the salary of Q and S together is Rs. 54000.
B. Total of the salary of T and U together is Rs. 58000.

if the statement A alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement B alone is not sufficient.

if the statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement A alone is not sufficient.

if both statements A and B together are needed to answer the question.

if either the statements A alone or statement B alone is sufficient to answer the question

if you cannot get the answer from the statements A and B together, but need even more data.

Solution:

P + Q + R+ S +T +U = 6 × 35,000 = 210,000
A. Q +S = 54,000
B. T + U = 58,000
P + R = 210,000 – (54,000 + 58,000)
= 210,000 – 112,000
= 98,000
We cannot find salary of P from given data
