Sample Quantitative Aptitude questions with solutions

Written to the Bank of Maharashtra Officer pattern, with the answer key and the method behind it — a look at how the section is actually set before you drill the full topic sets.

Number series · solved example

Find the next term: 3, 8, 18, 38, 78, ?

  • 143
  • 158Correct
  • 128
  • 188
  • 173

Solution

Each term is the previous times 2 plus 2, so the next is 78 × 2 + 2 = 158.

Simplification · solved example

Find the value of 20% of 500 + 30% of 240.

  • 162
  • 212
  • 132
  • 182
  • 172Correct

Solution

20% of 500 is 100 and 30% of 240 is 72; their sum is 172.

Approximation · solved example

What is the approximate value of 19.98% of 449.9 + 15.02% of 199.8?

  • 110
  • 115
  • 120Correct
  • 125
  • 130

Solution

Round each term. 19.98% is close to 20% and 449.9 to 450, giving 20% of 450 = 90. 15.02% is close to 15% and 199.8 to 200, giving 15% of 200 = 30. The total is about 90 + 30 = 120. Approximation questions reward rounding to convenient figures before calculating.

Ratio and partnership · solved example

A and B invest in a business in the ratio 5 : 7 for the same period. At the end of the year the total profit is Rupees 28,800, shared in the ratio of their investments. Find B's share.

  • Rupees 12,000
  • Rupees 14,400
  • Rupees 16,800Correct
  • Rupees 18,000
  • Rupees 20,400

Solution

The ratio 5 : 7 has 12 parts in total, so one part is 28800 / 12 = 2400. B holds 7 parts, giving 7 x 2400 = 16800. Two distractors are built from the predictable slips: option A, 12000, is A's share taken by mistake, and option B, 14400, is half the profit, which is what you get by splitting it equally and ignoring the ratio. Always name whose share you have found before selecting, because the arithmetic for the wrong person is just as clean.
