Mphasis Aptitude Questions

Try to solve the following Mphasis Aptitude Questions in under a minute.

1. In how many ways can the 7 letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G be arranged so that C and E never together.

1. 5040
2. 6480
3. 3600
4. 1440

Ans: 3600

C and E never together = Total arrangements C and E together, Total arrangements are 7! C and E together = pack c and e into one unit + 5 other alphabets = 6! 2!, (2! is to arrange c and e internally), C and E never together = Total arrangements C and E together = 7! 6! 2! = 3600

2. A can do a piece of work in 8 days and B can do the same work in 6 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?

1. Rs. 500
2. Rs. 700
3. Rs. 650
4. Rs. 400

Ans: d

C’s 1 day’s work = 1/3 – (1/8 + 1/6 ) = 1/3 – 7/24 = 1/24A’s wages : B’s wages : C’s wages = 1/8 : 1/6 : 1/24 = 3 : 4 : 1C’s share (for 3 days) = Rs. ( 3 * 1/24 * 3200) = Rs. 400.

3. In how many ways can the letters of the word ‘MANAGE’ be arranged?

1. 360
2. 144
3. 256
4. 720

Ans: a

The word ‘MANAGE’ contains 6 letters, namely 1M, 2A, 1N, 1G and 1N.The required number of ways = 6! /2! = 360

4. If log a/b + log b/a = log (a + b), then

1. a + b = 1
2. a – b = 1
3. a = b
4. a2 – b2 = 1

Ans: a

According to formulae: log a/b + log b/a = log a+b,log a+b = log (a/b * b/a) = log 1, Hence, a + b = 1.

5. The H.C.F. of two numbers is 30 and the other two factors of their L.C.M. are 10 and 12. The larger of the two numbers is:

1. 310
2. 320
3. 360
4. 345

Ans: c

Clearly, the numbers are (30 x 10) and (30 x 12).Larger number = (30 x 12) = 360.

6. If a number is exactly divisible by 85, then what will be the remainder when the same number is divided by 17?

1. 3
2. 4
3. 1
4. 0

Ans: d

85 is a multiple of 17 (i.e., 17 x 5 = 85), any number which is divisible by 85 will also be divisible by 17.

7. In how many ways can a number 6084 be written as a product of two different factors?

1. 27
2. 13
3. 14
4. 26

Ans: b

Factorizing 6084: = 2^2 x 3^2 x 13^2If N = a^p b^q c^r, where a,b,c are primes, Number of factors is represented by :(p+1)(q+1)(r+1) => (2+1)(2+1)(2+1) = 27Number of Ordered pairs of any two factors is ( 27 + 1)/2 = 14Since 6084 is a perfect square, evidently the ordered pair (78,78) is also counted in the above 14 pairs. So, the number of ways in which 6084 can be expressed as a product of two different factors is 13.

8. A rectangular courtyard 3.78 meters long 5.25 meters wide is to be paved exactly with square tiles, all of the same sizes. what is the largest size of the tile which could be used for the purpose?

1. 14cm
2. 42 cm
3. 21 cm
4. None

Ans: c

3.78 meters =378 cm = 2 3 3 3 75.25 meters=525 cm = 5 5 3 7The common factors are 3 and 7, therefore the LCM = 3 7 = 21Hence the largest size of square tiles that can be paved exactly with square tiles is 21 cm.

9. A boat can travel at a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr, find the time taken by the boat to go 68 km downstream.

1. 2 hours
2. 3 hours
3. 4 hours
4. 5 hours

Ans: c

Speed downstream = (13 + 4) km/hr = 17 km/hr.Time taken to travel 68 km downstream = (68/ 17) hrs = 4 hrs.

10. An article was sold for Rs. 2770. Had it been sold for Rs. 3000 there would have been an additional gain of 10%. Cost Price of the article is:

1. 2300
2. 2360
3. 1950
4. 1150

Ans: a

Original CP = Rs. X, New profit = (3000 x) Rs.New profit % = (3000 x)*100/CP, (300000 100x)/CP (277000 + 100x)/CP = 1023000/CP = 10, 10CP = 23000, CP = 23000/10, CP = 2300The original Cost price is Rs. 2300
