Arithmetic Aptitude Data Interpretation

Q. A cylindrical tank has a radius of 3 meters and a height of 5 meters. What is the surface area of the tank? (Use π = 3.14)

A. 56.52 m²
B. 94.2 m²
C. 94.5 m²
D. 47.1 m²

Solution

Surface Area = 2πr(h + r) = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * (5 + 3) = 94.2 m²

Q. A family has 3 children. What is the probability that at least one of them is a girl?

A. 1/8
B. 1/4
C. 3/4
D. 7/8

Solution

The only scenario where there are no girls is if all are boys. The probability of all boys is (1/2)^3 = 1/8. Therefore, the probability of at least one girl is 1 - 1/8 = 7/8.

Correct Answer: D — 7/8

Q. A family has 4 members with an average age of 25 years. If the youngest member is 10 years old, what will be the average age if the youngest member turns 20?

A. 26
B. 27
C. 28
D. 29

Solution

Total age of family = 4 * 25 = 100. New total age after youngest turns 20 = 100 - 10 + 20 = 110. New average = 110 / 4 = 27.5, approximately 27.

Correct Answer: B — 27

Q. A family has 4 members with an average age of 30 years. If a new member joins the family, making the average age 32 years, what is the age of the new member?

A. 32
B. 34
C. 36
D. 38

Solution

Total age of 4 members = 4 * 30 = 120. Total age of 5 members = 5 * 32 = 160. Age of new member = 160 - 120 = 40.

Correct Answer: C — 36

Q. A family has 4 members with an average age of 30 years. If a new member joins with an age of 40 years, what will be the new average age?

A. 30
B. 32
C. 34
D. 36

Solution

The total age of the family is 4 * 30 = 120 years. Adding a new member aged 40 gives a new total age of 120 + 40 = 160 years. The new average age is 160 / 5 = 32.

Correct Answer: C — 34
