Correction on question 6(Tech) from Arijit: Strain gauge is used for: (Ans. is force to displacement, not pressure).
There were 32 Apti questions and 40 Tech questions. 45 s each for apti and 60 s each for tech. Easy questions in tech were difficult and High questions were easy. In apti, data interpretation was kind of strange because a few questions were based on terms not defined in the formulae. The DI question was on the profit of banks and its productivity… questions were like how many employees and what percentage are working in Bank of India and all.. Formulae were defined below the table. So was kind of easy but not very clear.
And in the meanings, i used dictionary.com (45 seconds in CC were enough.) I used even for one tech question. (Merz Price protection) Here are a few questions you have missed out. I don't remember many so other people should keep adding.
1. A: B=1:3 and X: Y=1:3. Then (A+X):(B+Y)=?
2. An eskimo is standing in a conical igloo. He is 60 m tall and his head only touches the igloo. His son has a playing area on the ground of 4500 sq. m (not the exact data) without touching the ceiling with his head. What is the height of the son.
3. If the price of salt increases by 60%, by what percentage should a family reduce its consumption so that it does not spend any extra money on salt?
4. Value of a commodity is proportional to square of diameter and also proportional to thickness. If the value of two goods are in the ratio 2:1 and their diameters are also in the ratio 2:1, what is the ratio of their thickness?
5. There are 5 Red 7 Black balls in one basket and 3 Red 12 Black balls in the other. What's the probability of drawing a black ball?
6. Two trains traveling towards each other meet each other at a point where the first train has already traveled 100 km. If the speed of the first train is 50 kmph and that of the second train is 40 kmph, what is the distance between their starting points?
7. What word is closest in meaning to the word: HOMILY. Options: demure, simple, homely, none of the above, don't know.
8. The price of two cars is in the ratio 4:5. If the price of the two cars increase by 25% and Rs. 50000 respectively, the new ratio becomes 9:10. What is the original price of the first car?
9. If a number is divided by 9, the remainder is 3. If two times the same number is divided by 9, what will be the remainder?
Tech questions:
1. Slip of an induction machine is 12%. Maximum torque is 300 Nm. If slip becomes 6%, what will be the maximum torque?
2. In a circuit, R=50 ohm, L=100mH, C=0.1uC. What is the Quality factor?
3. Resonant frequency=5Khz, and Q-factor=1. Then, bandwidth=?
So wasn't tough actually.. It was just the time limit. And since questions were long, it took time to read them and you had to immediately submit an answer otherwise time would be up.
