Q3. A car is 250 meters behind the bus. The car and the bus are
moving at a speed of 60 km/hr and 35 km/hr respectively. In what time
will the car be ahead of the bus by 250 meters?

A. 37 seconds

B. 48 seconds

C. 72 seconds
 Wipro Model Placement Paper

D. 68 seconds

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Initially the car is 250 meters behind the bus. We have to find the time
taken by the car to be ahead of the bus by 250 meters.

So the car should first cover the 250 meters by which it is behind and
then again another 250 meters to be ahead of the bus.

Thus, the total distance to be covered = (250 + 250) = 500 meters

Throughout the journey both the car and the bus are in motion. So,
this distance of 500 meters is to be covered by both the car and the
bus together.

Here both the car and the bus are moving in the same direction.

Thus, the relative speed = Speed of the car – Speed of the bus = (60 -
35) = 25 km/hr

25 km/hr = 25 X (5/18) m/s = 125/18 m/s

At the relative speed of 125/18 m/s time taken to cover the distance of
500 meters = 500/(125/18)= 72 seconds

Q4. A, B and C can do a piece of work in 30, 45, and 90 days

respectively. In how many days can A alone do the work if he is
assisted by B and C on every 4th day?

A. 12 days

B. 24 days

C. 36 days

D. 48 days

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let us first assume the total work as the LCM of (30, 45, 90)

So, total work = LCM of (30, 45, 90) = 90 units

If the total work is 90 units then,

The efficiency of A = 90/30 = 3 u/d;

The efficiency of B = 90/45 = 2 u/d;

The efficiency of C = 90/90 = 1 u/d

 Wipro Model Placement Paper

Given that A alone starts the work and he is assisted by B and C on

every 4th day

So, the work completed at the end of first 4 days = Work completed by
A in the first 3 days + Work completed by A, B and C together in the
fourth day

Work completed at the end of first 4 days = (3 × 3) + ((3 + 2 + 1) × 1) =

(9 + 6) = 15 units

This cycle of A working alone for 3 days and being accompanied by B

and C on the fourth day is repeated.

So, it is very clear that a total of 15 units of work is completed in every

4 days.

In this pattern the number of cycles required to complete the total work
of 90 units = 90/15 = 6 cycles where each cycle is comprised of 4
days

Thus, the total number of days required = (6 × 4) = 24 days

Q5. A starts a business with Rs. 3500 and after 5 months, B joins with
A as his partner. After a year, the profit is divided in the ratio 2 : 3.
What is B’s contribution to the capital?
 Wipro Model Placement Paper

A. Rs. 5000

B. Rs. 7500

C. Rs. 9000

D. Rs. 9500

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We know that the profit share is dependent on both the amount of

investment and the period of investment.

Given that the amount invested by A = Rs. 3500

Also A kept his investment throughout the year (i.e. for all the 12
months)

Let the amount invested by B be Rs. P

B joined the business only after 5 months. So B would have kept his
investment for 7 months

So, the ratio in which the profit should be shared between A and B =
­(3500 × 12) : (P × 7)

Given ratio is 2 : 3
 Wipro Model Placement Paper

So, if we equate the same we get,

3 × 3500 × 12 = 2 × P × 7

Thus, P = Rs. 9000 which is the required investment made by B

Q6. There are two sections in a question paper. Each contains five
questions. A student has to answer 6 questions. The maximum
number of questions that can be answered from any section is 4. In
how many ways can he attempt the paper?

A. 50

B. 100

C. 120

D. 200

Answer: Option D

Explanation:
 Wipro Model Placement Paper

Given that there are two sections of 5 questions each. And the
maximum number of questions that can be answered from any section
is 4.

So, 6 questions in total can be attempted from these two sections in

the following ways:

i) 4 questions from section 1 and 2 questions from section 2

ii) 3 questions from section 1 and 3 questions from section 2

iii) 2 questions from section 1 and 4 questions from section 2

Now the number of ways of selecting:

i) 4 questions from section 1 and 2 questions from section 2

= 5C4 × 5C2 = 5 × 10 = 50

ii) 3 questions from section 1 and 3 questions from section 2

= 5C3 × 5C3 = 10 × 10 = 100

iii) 2 questions from section 1 and 4 questions from section 2 =

5C2 × 5C4 = 5 × 10 = 50

Thus, the total number of ways in which a student can attempt the test
paper = (50 + 100 + 50) = 200 ways.

Q7. In an annual sale, there was a flat discount of 40% on all items.
Kamal bought a pair of jeans for Rs. 480. What is the labeled price of
the pair of jeans?

A. 799

B. 699

C. 899

D. 720

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Given that there was a flat discount of 40% on all items. The discount
would have been given on the labeled price to get the selling price.

Here the selling price is given as Rs. 480. We have to find the labeled
price.

As a discount of 40% was given on the labeled price, the selling price
of Rs. 480 would have been the resultant after a reduction of 40%
from the labeled price. Thus,
 Wipro Model Placement Paper

Labeled price – 40% of labeled price = Selling price

Labeled price – 0.4 Labeled price = 480

0.6 Labeled price = 480

Thus, Labeled price = 480/0.6 = Rs. 800

One close value is given in option A (Rs. 799) and hence is the
answer.

The passage given below is followed by a set of five questions.

Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.

Today the import duty on a complete machine is 35% for all practical
purposes, whereas the import duty on raw materials and components
ranges from 40% to 85%. The story does not end here. After paying
such high import duties on components, once a machine is made it
suffers excise duty of 5% to 10% ( including on the customs duty
already paid ). At the time of sale the machine tools suffers further
taxation, i.e central sales tax or state sales tax which ranges from 4 to
16%. This much for tax angle.
 Wipro Model Placement Paper

Another factor which pushes the cost of manufacture of machine tools

at a very high rate of interest payable to banks which ranges upto
22%, as against 4% - 7% prevailing in advanced countries.The
production of machine tools in India being not of the same scale as it
is in other countries, the price which India's machine tools builders
have to pay for the components is more or less based on the pattern
of high pricing applicable to the prices of spares.

The above represents only a few of the extraneous reasons for the
high cost of Indian machines. The machine tool industry in India has
an enviable record of very quick technology absorptions, assimilation
and development. There are a number of success stories about how
machine tool builders were of help at the most critical times.

It will be a pity in fact a tragedy if we allow this industry to die and

disappear from the scene. It is to be noted that India is at least 6000
km away from any dependable source of supply of machine tools. The
Government of India has always given a great deal of importance to
the development of small scale and medium scale industries. This
industry has also performed pretty well.

Today they are in need of help from India's machine tool industry to
enable them to produce quality components at reduced costs. Is it
anybodys case that the needs of this fragile sector (which needs
 Wipro Model Placement Paper

tender care) will be met from 6000 km away. Then what is it that
industry requests from Government. It wants level playing fields.

In fact, all of us must have a deep introspection and recognise the fact
that the machine tool industry has a very special place in the country
from the point of strategic and vital intersects of the nation. Most
important, it requests for the Govt.s consideration and understanding.

machine proves ultimately

A) cheaper than importing complete machine

B) costlier than importing machine

E) a very stupendous and unmanageable task

b) According to the passage, all the following factors are responsible

for high cost of Indian machines except

A) may go up by about 4% to 7%

B) may increase by about 22%

C) may decrease by about 4% to 7%

D) may decrease by about 15% to 18%

E) will remain the same due to import duty

Question 2

Mr.Woods, an electrician has made some faulty connections of eight

street lights in Timberland city. The connections are such that if the
street lights adjacent to a particular light are both ON (represented as
1) or are both OFF (represented as 0), then that street light goes OFF
the next night. Otherwise, it remains ON the next night. The two street
lights at the end of the road have a single adjacent street light, so the
other adjacent light can be assumed to be always OFF. The state of
the lights on a particular day is considered for the next day and not for
the same day.
