Aptitude and Reasoning
6) A tap fills a tank in 6 hours, and another tap empties the same tank in 9 hours. How much time will it take to fill the tank if both taps are opened together?
18 hours (Work formula: 1/6 - 1/9 = 1/18).
7) A triangle has angles in the ratio 2:3:4. What are the measures of the angles?
40°, 60°, and 80°. (Sum of angles in a triangle is 180°; solving 2x + 3x + 4x = 180 gives x = 20.)
8) A train 150 meters long crosses a pole in 10 seconds. What is its speed?
15 m/s or 54 km/h
(Formula: Speed = Distance/Time)
9) If the ratio of ages of A and B is 4:5 and the sum of their ages is 45, find A’s age.
4x+5x = 45
9x = 45
x = 45/9
x = 5
Therefore, A(x) = 4(5) = 20
A’s age = 20 years

11) A rectangle has a length of 15 cm and a diagonal of 17 cm. What is its width?
8 cm. (Using Pythagoras theorem: width² = 17² - 15².)
12) What is the formula for area and perimeter of rectangle?
Area: length x breadth
Perimeter: 2(lenght+Breadth)
13) What is formula for area of Perimeter?
2(Base+Side)
14) The LCM of two numbers is 48, and their HCF is 4. If one number is 12, find the other number?
LCM x HCF = Product of two numbers
48 x 4 = 12 x ?
Other number = 16
15) What is Srinivas Ramanujan Number and it's significance?
Srinivasa Ramanujan Number (1729) and Its Significance
The Ramanujan Number is 1729, famously known as the Hardy-Ramanujan Number.
Significance: Smallest Taxicab Number: It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways:
1729 = 1^3 + 12^3 = 9^3 + 10^3
Applications in Mathematics: The concept of Taxicab Numbers and Ramanujan Graphs is widely used in number theory and cryptography.
Thus, 1729 is a mathematically special number due to its unique properties in n
umber theory.
