UGC NET Mathematical Aptitude Paper-1 | Fraction | Time & Distance
Mathematical aptitude:- Testing your ability to use numbers and calculations to answer mathematical issues is known as mathematical aptitude.
Fraction :- A fraction represents a part of a total. The Latin word “fractio” which meaning “to break” is the source of the English term “fraction.” A fraction is a component or section taken from a whole, which can be any number, a certain amount, or an object.
For example, 5/7, 9/8, 2/5, 3/2.
1. In a class of 48 students, 1/4th of them watch cartoons. How many students do not watch cartoons ?
A. total student is 48 and 1/4th of them watch cartoons ,
so total number of student Watch cartoon is 48*1/4 = 12
so students do not watch cartoons is 48 -12 = 36
Either
48*(1-1/4)
48* 3/4 = 36
2. In a office of 75 employees, 2/3rd of them eat veg. How many employees eat non-veg ?
A. total student is 75 , 2/3rd of them eat veg.
so out of total employees 2/3rd of them eat veg 75*2/3 = 50
so employees do not eat veg is 75 -50 = 25
Either
75*(1-2/3)
75* 1/3 = 25

Speed, Time & Distance :-
Speed = Distance/ Time
Time = Distance/Speed
Distance = (Speed x Time)
km/hr to m/sec conversion : x km/hr = x X 5/18 m/sec .
m/sec to km/hr conversion : x m/sec = x X 18/5 km/hr
Suppose a woman covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr.
Then, the average speed during the whole journey is 2xy/x + y km/hr.
Question for Example :-
1. A bus crosses a 500 m long street in 10 minutes. Find out the speed in km per hour ?
solution :-
Total distance = 500 m , total time 10 min
first we have need to convert in same unit of both distance ,and time
so Total distance = 500 m , and convert time 10 min in sec
so we will multiply 10 min * 60 = 600 sec
Speed = Distance/ Time
Speed = 500 m / 600 sec
Speed = 0.833 m/sec
now need to convert Speed = 0.833 m/sec into km/hr
m/sec to km/hr conversion : x m/sec = x X 18/5 km/hr
0.833 m/sec into km/hr = 0.833 *18/5 km/hr
his speed in km per hour = 3 km/ hr
2. A train covers a certain distance at a speed of 240 km/hr in 5 hours. To complete the same distance in 2 hours, Find out the speed
solution :-
Total distance covered by train is = (Speed x Time)
Total distance covered by train is = 240 km/hr * 5 hr
Total distance covered by train is = 1200 km
now same distance need to cover in 2 hr. so speed would be 1200 km / hr divided by 2
so speed would be 600 km / hr.
3. If a caw walks at 14 km/hr instead of 10 km/hr. he would have walked 20 km more. Find out the Distance
solution :-
difference of speed is 14 km/hr – 10 km/hr = 4 km/hr
Extra distance = 20 km
so , Time = Distance/Speed
Time = 20 km / 4 km /hr.
Time = 5 hr.
actual distance travelled = (Speed x Time)
actual distance travelled = 10 km/hr * 5 hr.
actual distance travelled = 50 km

1. Saurabh complete a journey in 10 hours. He travels 50% of the journey at the rate of 10 km/hr. and rest journey at the rate of 15 km/hr. Find the total journey in km.
2. The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 3 : 5. If the second train runs 500 km in 5 hours, then what is the speed of the first train.
