GAT Quantitative Reasoning 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: If a car travels 240 km in 3 hours, what is its average speed in km/h?
- 60 km/h
- 80 km/h (Correct answer)
- 100 km/h
- 120 km/h
Correct answer: 80 km/h
Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time = 240 km ÷ 3 hours = 80 km/h. This is a fundamental speed-distance-time calculation commonly tested in the Qudurat quantitative section.
Question 2: What is 15% of 400?
- 40
- 50
- 60 (Correct answer)
- 75
Correct answer: 60
15% of 400 = (15/100) × 400 = 0.15 × 400 = 60. Percentage calculations are a core component of the Qudurat quantitative section.
Question 3: If 3x - 7 = 14, what is the value of x?
- 3
- 5
- 7 (Correct answer)
- 9
Correct answer: 7
Solving: 3x - 7 = 14 → 3x = 14 + 7 → 3x = 21 → x = 21/3 = 7. Basic linear equation solving is essential for the Qudurat exam.
Question 4: A rectangular room is 8 meters long and 6 meters wide. What is its area?
- 28 m²
- 42 m²
- 48 m² (Correct answer)
- 56 m²
Correct answer: 48 m²
Area of a rectangle = length × width = 8 m × 6 m = 48 m². Geometry problems involving area calculations are common in the Qudurat quantitative section.
Question 5: What is the next number in the sequence: 2, 6, 18, 54, ___?
- 108
- 162 (Correct answer)
- 216
- 72
Correct answer: 162
Each number is multiplied by 3 to get the next: 2×3=6, 6×3=18, 18×3=54, 54×3=162. Pattern recognition in number sequences is a key Qudurat skill.
Question 6: A shop offers a 20% discount on an item priced at SAR 500. What is the sale price?
- SAR 350
- SAR 400 (Correct answer)
- SAR 450
- SAR 480
Correct answer: SAR 400
Discount amount = 20% × 500 = SAR 100. Sale price = 500 - 100 = SAR 400. Discount calculations are practical math skills tested frequently on the Qudurat.
