Question 1

In a population of N families, 50% of the families have three children, 30% of the families have two children and the remaining families have one child. What is the probability that a randomly picked child belongs to a family with two children?

A	3/23
B	6/23
C	3/10
D	3/5

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2004-IT

Question 1 Explanation:

Let us consider total no. of families = 100
In that 50% of families having 3 children
i.e., 50×3 = 150 (No. of children)
→ Likes that 30% have 2 children = 30×2 = 60
→ 20% have 1 children = 20×1 = 20
Probability of choosing a children the family have two children
= 60/(150+60+20) = 60/230 = 6/23

Question 2

In a class of 200 students, 125 students have taken Programming Language course, 85 students have taken Data Structures course, 65 students have taken Computer Organization course; 50 students have taken both Programming Language and Data Structures, 35 students have taken both Data Structures and Computer Organization; 30 students have taken both Data Structures and Computer Organization, 15 students have taken all the three courses.How many students have not taken any of the three courses?

A	15
B	20
C	25
D	35

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2004-IT

Question 2 Explanation:

n = 200
PL = 125
DS = 85
CO = 65
PL & DS = 50
DS & CO = 35
CO & PL = 30
PL & DS & CO = 15

⇒ Not taken any course = 200 - (60 +15+15+35+15+15+20)
= 200 - 175
= 25

Question 3

A	60°
B	120°
C	180°
D	90°

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2020Video-Explanation

Question 3 Explanation:

Two st. line perpendicular to each other in X-Y, if α & β are acute angles then α + β = ____

We know a + α + β = 180
α + β = 180 - 90
α + β = 90

Question 4

The total revenue of a company during 2014-2018 is shown in the bar graph. If the total expenditure of the company in each year is 500 million rupees, then the aggregate profit or loss (in percentage) on the total expenditure of the company during 2014-2018 is ______.

A	20% profit
B	20% loss
C	16.67% loss
D	16.67% profit

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2020Video-Explanation

Question 4 Explanation:

Bar-graph:
2014-2018
Total expenditure = 500 million/year = 500 × 5 = 2500 million
Revenue total (from the graph)
= 400 + 500 + 600 + 700 + 800
= 3000 million
Profit = 3000 - 2500 = 500
⟹ 500/2500 = 20% profit

Question 5

The figure below shows an annular ring with outer and inner radii as b and a, respectively. The annular space has been painted in the form of blue colour circles touching the outer and inner periphery of annular space. If maximum n number of circles can be painted, then the unpainted area available in annular space is ______.

A	π[(b² - a²) + π/4(b - a)²]
B	π[(b² - a²) - π/4(b - a)²]
C	π[(b² - a²) - n(b - a)²]
D	π[(b² - a²) + n(b - a)²]

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2020Video-Explanation

Question 5 Explanation:

Area of non-painted between 2 circles area of part 1 = πb² - πa² = π(b² - a²)
Radius of painted circles = b-a/2
Area of painted circle = π(b-a/2)²
For n circles = nπ(b-a/2)²
Non-painted area = π[b² - a²- n/4(b - a)²]

Which one of the following is the area under the curve for the interval [0, 1] on the x-axis?

A	5/6
B	6/5
C	13/6
D	6/13

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2022Video-Explanation

Question 14 Explanation:

We know that area of a rectangle = length * breadth = L * B
Area of rectangle (1) = L*B = (1/3) * 2 = (2/3)
Area of rectangle (2) = L*B = (3/4 - 1/3 ) * 3 = (5/4 )
Area of rectangle (3) = L*B = (1 - 3/4) * 1 = 1/4
Therefore Total area = Area(1+2+3) = (2/3) + (5/4) + (1/4) = 26/12 = 13/6

Question 20

A box contains five balls of same size and shape. Three of them are green coloured balls and two of them are orange coloured balls. Balls are drawn from the box one at a time. If a green ball is drawn, it is not replaced. If an orange ball is drawn, it is replaced with another orange ball. First ball is drawn. What is the probability of getting an orange ball in the next draw?

A	1/2
B	8/25
C	19/50
D	23/50

AptitudeReasoningGATE 2022Video-Explanation

Question 20 Explanation:

Case 1: The first ball is Green
Probability of first ball is green = 3/5
If the first ball is green then we are not replacing so the probability of the second ball being orange is = 2/4.
Probability of first ball green and second ball orange is =3/5 * 2/4 = 6/20
Case 2: The first ball is orange
Probability of first ball is orange =2/5
If the first ball is orange then we are replacing it with another orange ball/ so the number balls will remain the same.
Probability of second ball is orange = 2/5
Probability of first ball is orange and second ball is also orange = 2/5*2/5 = 4/25
Therefore, Total probability = (6/20 + 4/25) = 23/50.

Question 28

The number of students in three classes is in the ratio 3:13:6. If 18 students are added to each class, the ratio changes to 15:35:21. The total number of students in all the three classes in the beginning was:

A	66
B	22
C	88
D	110

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2021 CS-Set-2Video-Explanation

Question 28 Explanation:

Given Initial ratio : 3:13:6

Total number of students initially = 3x+13x+6x = 22x

From the given question, we can write 3x+18 = 15y -----I

13x+18 = 35y-----II

6x+18 = 21y------III

I - II => -10X = -20Y

X=2Y------IV

Put IV in III => 6(2y) + 18 = 21y

12y + 18 = 21y

9y = 18

y = 2 -----V

Substitute V in I => 3x + 18 = 30

3x = 12

x = 4

Number of initial students = 22x = 22(4) = 88

Question 29

Taxes were paid on the selling price at 10%, 13% and 15% respectively for the three years. Net profit is calculated as the difference between the selling price and the sum of cost and taxes paid in that year.
The ratio of the selling price in Year 2 to the selling price in Year 3 is ______.

A	1:1
B	3:4
C	1:2
D	4:3

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2021 CS-Set-2Video-Explanation

Question 29 Explanation:

According to the given data:

Year Cost/unit Number of units Cost Price

1 ₹ 3 100 300

2 ₹ 2 200 400

3 ₹ 1 300 300

Cost Price = Cost/unit x Number of units

Net Profit = Selling Price - (Cost Price + (Tax% x selling price )

Year 2:

296 = SP - (400 + (13/100) x SP)

=>296 = 0.87SP - 400

=> 0.87SP = 696

=> SP = ₹ 800

Year 3:

210 = SP - (300 + (15/100) x SP)

=> 210 = 0.85SP - 300

=> 0.85SP = 510

=> SP = ₹ 600

The ratio of selling price in Year 2 to the selling price in year 3 = 800:600

= 4:3

A	0.81225
B	0.4235
C	0.6976
D	0.3024

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2021 CS-Set-1Video-Explanation

Question 41 Explanation:

Explanation :
There are 5 bags having identical sets of 10 distinct chocolates. one chocolate is drawn from each bag, probability to find at least 2 chocolate is identical
The total number of such selections possible = 10*10*10*10*10 = 10^5.
We need to select such that at least two of them are identical.
We can count the number of ways with no chocolate being repeated and subtract it from total possible ways to get the required probability.
The number of ways to select all different/distinct = 10*9*8*7*6
Required number of selections= 10^5-10*9*8*7*6 = 69760
Required probability = 69760/10^5 = 0.69760

D	Both statements I and II together are not sufficient.

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2015 [Set-2]Video-Explanation

Question 44 Explanation:

Statement-I:
One fourth of the weight of a pole is 5Kg. ⇒ Weight of pole is 4×5 = 20Kg
Weight of 10 poles each of same weight = 10×20 = 200 Kg
∴Statement I alone is sufficient.
Statement-II:
Let, Weight of each pole = W Kg
Given,
10W = 2W + 160
⇒ 8W = 160
W = 20Kg
∴ Weight of each pole = 20 Kg
∴ Weight of 10 poles = 10×20 Kg = 200 Kg
∴ Statement II alone is sufficient.
Option (C) is the answer.
Either I or II alone is sufficient.

Question 45

Consider a function f(x) = 1 - |x| on -1 ≤ x ≤ 1. The value of x at which the function attains a maximum and the maximum value of the function are

A	0, -1
B	-1, 0
C	0, 1
D	-1, 2

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2015 [Set-2]Video-Explanation

Question 45 Explanation:

f(x) = 1 - |x| on -1 ≤ x ≤ 1
In the given function, it is given as
-|x| ⇒ To obtain the maximum of this function we have to minimize the value -|x| and the minimum value is 0.
∴ Maximum value of f(x) is at f(0) and i.e., f(x) = 1
Maximum value is 1 at x=0.

Question 49

In a triangle PQR, PS is the angle bisector of ∠QPR and ∠QPS = 60º. What is the length of PS?

A	(q+r)/qr
B	qr/(q+r)
C	√(q² + r²)
D	(q+r)² /qr

AptitudeNumericalGATE 2015 [Set-2]Video-Explanation

Question 49 Explanation:

Given,

∠QPS = 60º
and PS is angle bisector of ∠QPR
⇒ ∠QPS = ∠SPR = 60º
and ∠QPR = 120º
Let, PS = s
Area of ΔPQR = Area of ΔPQS + Area of ΔSPR
1/2 qr Sin∠QPR = 1/2 rs Sin∠QPS + 1/2 sq∠SPR
1/2 qr Sin 120º = 1/2 rs Sin 60º + 1/2 sq 60º
1/2 qr Sin × √3/2 = 1/2 rs × √3/2 + 1/2 × √3/2
qr = rs + sq
∴ s = qr/q+r
PS = qr/q+r
