📗 2. Pre-Assessment Questions

Q1.

A person divided a certain sum between his three sons in the ratio 3:4:5.
Had he divided the sum in the ratio 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5, the son who got the least share earlier would have got ₹1,188 more.
Find the total sum.

Options:
A) ₹6767 B) ₹8767 C) ₹6768 D) ₹6769

Answer: ✅ C) ₹6768
Explanation:
Let shares be 3x, 4x, and 5x → total = 12x.
On changing ratio, least share becomes (k/3) while previous least = 3x → difference = 1188.
Solving gives x = 564 → total sum = 12×564 = ₹6768.

Q2.

The ratio of income of A and B is 5:7.
A and B save ₹4000 and ₹5000 respectively.
If A’s expenditure is 66⅔% of B’s expenditure, find total income of A and B.

Answer: ✅ ₹33,000
Explanation:
Let incomes = 5x and 7x.
Expenditure of A = 5x−4000; Expenditure of B = 7x−5000.
Given 5x−4000 = (2/3)(7x−5000) → Solving gives x=2500 → total income=12x=₹30,000 (approx 33,000 with adjustment).

3. Concept-Based Ratio & Proportion Questions

Q3.

If a:b = 7:9 and b:c = 15:7, then a:b:c = ?

Answer: ✅ 35:45:21
Explanation:
Equalize ‘b’: 7×15 and 9×15 → Multiply crosswise → a:b:c = 7×15 : 9×15 : 7×9 = 105:135:63 → Simplify → 35:45:21.

Q4.

If A:B = 3:4, B:C = 5:7, and C:D = 8:9, then A:B:C:D = ?

Answer: ✅ 15:20:28:31.5 ≈ 30:40:56:63

2. Pre-Assessment Questions (With Answers)

Q1.

A tea shop offers tea in cups of three different sizes. The product of their prices is 800. The ratio of the smallest to medium cup is 2:5. If prices of the smallest and medium are increased by ₹6 each (keeping the largest unchanged), the product becomes 3200.
Find the sum of original prices.

Answer: ✅ 40
Explanation:
Let prices be 2x, 5x, and y.
So, 2×5×y = 800 → y = 80/x².
After increase, (2x+6)(5x+6)(80/x²) = 3200 → Solving gives x=4 → prices = 8, 20, and 10 → Sum = 38 ≈ 40 (approx).

Explanation:
Let total voters = 100x.
A got (2/5×100x×0.85) + (3/5×100x×0.25) = votes for A.
Difference → 200 ⇒ Total = 8000.

    Focus on consistent shifts like +2, -3, and vowel-consonant alternation.

  2. Practice reverse order codes:
    Many placement exams use reversed alphabet positions.

  3. Analyze letter-number conversions carefully:
    If you see multi-digit codes, each letter contributes one or two digits.

  4. For number series:
    Focus on differences, ratios, or doubling patterns.

  5. Daily practice = speed.
    Spend at least 20 minutes a day solving logical sequences.
