General Science Tips for Railway Group-D and RRB ALP

Solutions for Quantitative Aptitude Questions for Railway:

Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

The difference between the numbers is 2, 5, 7, 12, 19, etc
These numbers are in a sequence. The sum of the first two numbers forms the third number. The
sum of the second and third is the fourth number and so on. So, the next number is 31.
So the next number in the actual sequence is 31 + 48 = 79.

2) Answer (D)

Only 9 is the composite number in the given list. Others are all prime numbers.

3) Answer (C)

When arranged in the descending order the numbers are as follows:
767, 692, 687, 598, 482
So, the middle digit of the middle number is 8.

4) Answer (A)

SP of 12 books=1800
SP=CP + Profit
Given, Profit of 12 books=3CP
∴1800=12CP + 3CP
15CP=1800
CP=120

5) Answer (B)

Let there be x 10 rupee notes in the sum. The number of 5 rupee notes = 80 – x
The sum = 10x + (80 – x)* 5 = 625
So, x = 45

How to prepare for RRB ALP Exam

6) Answer (A)

Let there be x men initially. They were supposed to complete the work in 20 days.
When 12 men didn’t show up the work was done in 32 days
So, x- 12 men did the work in 32 days
But x-12 men were supposed to take 20x/ (x-12) days
So, 20 x/ (x-12) = 32
so,
x = 32

7) Answer (A)

Let there be m men originally to work in 60 days
If the men were m + 8, the work would be completed in 50 days.
(m+8)/m = 60/50
So, m = 40

8) Answer (A)

Let his monthly salary be x rupees.
So, 5 (x – 1200) + 7 (x-1300) = 2900
12x – 6000 – 9100 = 2900
So, x = 18000/12 = 1500

9) Answer (C)

Total temperature for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday = 40 x 3 + 45 = 165 C
Total for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday = 41 x 3 = 123 C
So, Temperature for Monday = 165 – 123 = 42 C

10) Answer (B)

Let the first number be 3x. Second number is 6x. Third number is 2x.
So average = (2x + 3x + 6x)/3 = 11x/3
But 11x/3 = 44
So, x = 12
6x = 72
