Sample FSB Aptitude Test Past Questions and answers

Quantitaive Reasoning

1. Successive discounts of 20% and 15% are equal to a single discount of?

A. 30%

B. 32%

C. 34%

D. 35%

E. 36

Solution: B

Let the initial amount be = $100

After discount of 20%, it becomes = $80

After further discount of 15%, it becomes = $68

So, total discount = $32

Percent discount = 32/100 × 100 = 32%

2. Find the next number of the series.

563, 647, 479, 815, …?

A. 672

B. 386

C. 279

D. 143

E. 368

2. Solution: D

The pattern followed here is:

563 + 84 × 20  = 647

647 – 84 × 21 = 479

479 + 84 × 22 = 815

∴ next term will be: 815 – 84 × 23 = 143

Hence, the answer is 143.

3. A car travels a certain distance taking 7 hrs in forward journey. During the return journey, the speed is increased by 12km/hr and the car takes 5 hrs to reach the destination. What is the distance travelled in one way?

A. 210 kms

B. 30 kms

C. 20 kms

D. 60 kms

E. None of these answer

Solution: A

For Forward Journey:

Speed = S kmph

Time = 7 Hrs.

Distance = D kms

Distance = (Speed) × (Time)

D = 7S ………………. (i)

For Return Journey

Speed = (S + 12) kmph

Time = 5 hrs.

Distance = D kms

Distance = (Speed) × (Time)

D = (S+12) × 5 ………………. (ii)

Distance travelled is same,

So, 7S = 5S + 60

S = 30 kmph

Distance = 30 × 7 = 210 kms

Hence Option (A)

4. What will be the difference between the compound interest and simple interest at the rate of 5% p.a. on an amount of $4000 at the end of two years?

A. $10

B. $20

C. $30

D. Data inadequate

E. None of these

Solution: A

Compound interest is obtained by adding the simple interest on the simple interest for first year.

So, the difference is simply the simple interest on the simple interest obtained on the sum during the first year.

Formula for simple interest, SI = P × R × T / 100

Where,

SI = simple interest

P = Principal Amount

R = Rate of interest

T = time duration in years

Simple interest for first year = 4000 × 5 × 1 / 100 = 200

∴ Simple interest on the interest = 200 × 5 × 1 / 100 = 10

5. if a sales man gets successive gain of 15% and 20% then his actual gain?

A. 35%

B. 5%

C. 38%

D. 45%

E. None of these

Solution: C

We have Gain 1 = 15% and gain 2 = 20%.

Then to find the overall gain

We need to use the formula for successive gains as

Total gain = a + b + ab/100

Hence, total gain = 20 + 15 + 15 × 20/100

⇒ 20 + 15 + 3

⇒ 38
