JIPMAT Question Paper: Section-wise Questions with Solutions

Quantitative Aptitude

Q. Which of the following is the value of m for which the polynomial x⁴+10x³+25x²+15x+m is exactly divisible by x+7?

1. -91
2. -101
3. 15
4. 115

Correct Option: 1

Solution:

If polynomial is exactly divisible by x + 7, then on putting x = -7, value of polynomial must be zero.

On substituting x = - 7 in the polynomial

• (-7)⁴ + 10 (-7)³ + 25 (-7)² + 15 (-7) + m = 0
• 2401 – 3430 + 1225 – 105 + m = 0
• 91 + m = 0
• m = -91

Q. The population of a village is 5000. If in a year, the number of males were to increase by 5% and that of females by 3% annually, the population would grow to 5202 at the end of the year. If M is the number of males and F is the number of females in the village, then (M,F)=

1. (3000,2000)
2. (2800,2200)
3. (2600,2400)
4. (2700,2300)

Correct Option: 3

Solution:

Initial population = 5000

New population = 5202

Percentage increase = [(5202 – 5000)/5000] x 100%

= 404/ 100 %

By using Alligation:

Male Female

Percentage increase 5% 3%

Overall Increase 404/100 %

Ratio of population (404/100)-3 : 5-(404/100)

104/100 : 96/100

26 : 24

So ration of Male & female in total population of 5000 is 26: 24

So, no. of male (M) = 2600 & no. of female(F) = 2400

Q. Two poles of height 6 m and 11 m stand vertically upright on a plane ground. If the distance between their foot is 12 m, then distance between their tops is

1. 12 m
2. 14 m
3. 13 m
4. 11 m

Correct Option: 3

Solution:

Pole 1, AB = 6m

Pole 2, CD = 11m

Distance between their foot, BD = 12m

And AB & CD perpendicular BD.

So, on this basis ED = 6m. & AE = 12 m.

Triangle ACE is a right-angle triangle, wherein AE = 12m., CE = 5 m.

So, by applying Pythagoras theorem Distance between their top AC = 13m.

Q. Match List I with List II

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. A-II,B-I,C-III,D-IV
2. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
3. A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III
4. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Correct Option: 2

Solution:

A. Mean of first five prime numbers is

= (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11)/ 5 = 28/5 = 5. 6 option III from List-II

B. Mean of all factors of 24 is

Factors of 24 = 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

Mean = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24)/8 = 60/8 = 7.5

option II from List-II

C. Mean of first six multiples of 4 is

First six multiples of 4 = 4 x 1, 4 x 2, 4 x 3, 4 x 4, 4x5, 4x6

Mean = (4 x 1 + 4 x 2 + 4 x 3 + 4 x 4 + 4x5 + 4x6)/ 6

= 4 (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 = 4 x 21/6 = 14

option IV from List-II

D. If the mean of x-5y,x-3y,x-y,x+y,x+3y and x+5y is 12, then x is

Mean = sum / no. of numbers

12= 6x / 6

X = 12 option I from List-II

Q. Given below are two statements based on the following:
If A and B are independent events such that P(A)=p,P(B)=2p and P( exactly one of A,B)=59
Statement I: p=13
Statement II : p=512
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
3. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct Option: 1

Solution:

P(A) = p; P (not A) = 1-p

P(B) = 2p; P (not B) = 1-2p

Probability (exactly one of A, B) = 5/9

• P(A). P(not B) + P(not A). P(B) = 5/9
• p (1-2p) + (1-p).2p = 5/9
• 3p – 4p² = 5/9
• 27p – 36p² = 5
• 36p² – 27p + 5 = 0

By solving this quadratic equation, p=5/12 or p = 1/3.

Q. The digit in the unit's place of the number represented by 7⁹⁵-3⁵⁸ is
[Question ID = 105]

1. 0
2. 4
3. 6
4. 7

Correct Option: 2

Solution:

For unit digit, cyclicity of 7 & 3 is 4.

7⁹⁵ => power 95/4 = rem. 3 => so, power 95 is equivalent to power 3

3⁵⁸ => power 58/4 = rem. 2 => so, power 58 is equivalent to power 2

7⁹⁵ - 3⁵⁸ = 7³ – 3² = 343 – 9 = 43 – 9 = 34

So, unit digit = 4

rain starts full of passengers. At the first station, it drops one third of passengers and takes 280 more. At the second station, it drops one half of the new total and takes 12 more. On arriving at the third station, it is found to have 248 passengers. The number of passengers in the beginning was
[Question ID =108]

1. 156
2. 288
3. 564
4. 608

Correct Option: 2

Solution:

Let the total no. of passenger in the beginning = 6x

First station-

Dropped passengers = 1/3 (6x) = 2x; Remaining passengers = 4x

New passengers = 280

Total passengers = 4x + 280

Second station-

Dropped passengers = 1/2 (4x + 280) = 2x + 140;

Remaining passengers = 2x + 140

New passengers = 12

Total passengers = 2x + 152

Third station-

Total passengers = 2x + 152 = 248

X = 48

Total no. of passengers in the beginning = 6 x 48 = 288

Q. In a cricket team of 11 players, the average age is 28 years. Out of these, the average ages of three groups of three players each are 25 years, 28 years and 30 years respectively. If in these groups, the captain and the youngest player are not included and the captain is eleven years older than the younger player, then the age of the captain is

1. 33 years
2. 34 years
3. 35 years
4. 36 years

Correct Option: 3

Solution:

Let the age of the captain = x

Age of the youngest player = x - 11

No. of players = 11

Average age = 28

Total age of the 11 players = average age x no. of players = 28 x 11 = 308

No. of players x Average age = Total age

Group 1 3 25 75

Group 2 3 28 84

Group 3 3 30 90

Total 249

Total age of 11 players = Total age of (group 1 + group 2 + group 3) + youngest player + captain

308 = 249 + x + x-11

2x = 70

X = 35 years {age of captain}

Q. A member consists of two digits whose sum is 8. If 18 is added to the number, its digits are interchanged. The number is

1. 26
2. 35
3. 53
4. 62

Correct Option: 2

Solution:

Let the two-digit no. N = ‘ab’ = 10a + b

Rev. of N = ‘ba’ = 10b + a

Condition 1: sum of digits = 8

a + b = 8 …….Equation 1

Condition 2: N + 18 = Rev. of N

=>10a + b +18 = 10b + a

=> 9 (b -a) = 18

=> b – a = 2 …….Equation 2

On solving both equations

a = 3, b = 5

So, the number N = 35

Q. A candidate scoring 25% marks in an examination fails by 30 marks while another candidate who score 50% marks gets 20 marks more than those required to pass. The pass percentage is

1. 30%
2. 33%
3. 35%
4. 40%

Correct Option: 4

Solution:

Let Maximum marks = 100x

Candidate 1 score = 25% of 100x = 25x

As per given statement, candidate 1 fails by 30 marks.

So, passing marks = 25x + 30 ………Equation 1

Candidate 2 score = 50% of 100x = 50x

As per given statement, candidate 2 gets 20 marks more than passing marks.

So, passing marks = 50x – 20 ……..Equation 2

From equation 1 & 2—

passing marks = 25x + 30 = 50x – 20 => x = 2

Passing marks =25x + 30 = 80

Maximum marks = 100 x 2 = 200

Pass percentage = 80 x 100 %/200 = 40%

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. (3-5)

Man's growth from barbarism into civilization is supposed to be the theme of history. But sometimes, looking at great stretches of history, it is difficult to believe that we are very much civilized or advanced. There is enough of want of cooperation today as we see one country or people selfishly exploiting another.
Man in many ways has not made very great progress from other animals. Still, we look down upon the insects as almost the lowest of living things and yet the tiny bees and ants have learnt the art of co-operation and of sacrifice for the common good far better than man. If mutual co-operation and sacrifice for the good of society are the test of civilization, we may say that the bees and ants are superior to man. The old saying goes as follows: "For the family, sacrifice the individual, for the community, the family, for the country, the community, and for the soul, the whole world." It teaches us the lesson of co-operation and sacrifice for the larger good which we may have forgotten. How wonderful it is to see men and women, and boys and girls smilingly going ahead on the path of progress without caring any pain or suffering? Well, may they smile and be glad for the joy of serving a great cause which is theirs; and for those who are fortunate, comes the joy of sacrifice too.

Q. How can we be truly civilized?

1. by getting more wealth
2. by getting more power
3. by getting higher education
4. by developing qualities of mutual help

Correct Option: 4

Solution:

By refering to the line, “If mutual cooperation and sacrifice for the good of society are the test of civilization” we can get our answer. The line means that a lack of cooperation and good for society are the challenges that stop man from being truly civilized.

Q. What is the basic reason of exploitation of one man by another ?

1. Moral Turpitude
2. Lack of Education
3. High Ethics
4. Weakness of some people

Correct Option: 1

Solution:

First let’s understand the wordTurpitude, which means wicked behavior. Now let’s refer to the line in the 1st para, “there is enough of want of co-operation today as we see one country or people selfishly exploiting another. So it is clear that the only valid reason for the exploitation of one man by another.

Q. What is the theme of above passage ?

1. The Rise and Fall of Empires
2. Man's search for Truth
3. Man's Moral and Spiritual Development
4. Man's quest for Idealism

Correct Option: 3

Solution:

The passage highlights the transformation of man through learning spiritual lessons of cooperation, family, community, and sacrifice. The following lines/phrases: "Man's growth from barbarism into civilization" and "For the family... suffering?" are helping us to decide the answer so option 3 is the right choice.

Q. Fill in the blanks by the proper preposition in the sentence

What is the time ___ your watch?

1. on
2. by
3. in
4. with

Correct Option: 2

Q. In this question, a sentence has been given in Active voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given statement in Passive voice.

The cat drank all the milk.

1. All the milk was drank by the cat.
2. All the milk has been drunk by the cat.
3. All the milk was drunk by the cat.
4. All the milk had been drunk by the cat.

Correct Option: 3

Solution:

To solve this question focus on the object of the active sentence ("all the milk") and make it the subject of the passive sentence.Now the verb "drank" must be converted to its past participle form "drunk,"so option 3 is the right choice.

Q. Certain parts in the following sentence are underlined. One of the parts has an error. Identity that part from the given options.

She is not one of those who is so foolish.

1. She is not
2. one of
3. who is
4. so foolish

Correct Option: 3

Solution:

While referring to "one of those" (a plural noun), the relative pronoun "who" should be followed by a plural verb. Therefore, "who is" should be corrected to "who are." The right choice is 3.

Q. From the given options, identify the tense used in the sentence
"Everyone shall be reaching by tomorrow."

1. Future Indefinite tense
2. Present continuous tense
3. Future perfect continuous tense
4. Future continuous tense

Correct Option: 4

Solution:

In the above sentence the tense is used to describe actions that will be ongoing at a specific time in the future “shall be”. So option 4 is the right choice.
