General Aptitude Questions, Formulas & Practice
General Aptitude is the most important section in placement tests, competitive exams, and job screenings. It tests your numerical ability, logical thinking, and problem-solving speed. Topics range from arithmetic fundamentals — percentages, profit and loss, ratio and proportion — to advanced concepts like probability, permutations, and data interpretation. Employers like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Accenture dedicate 50-70% of their aptitude tests to these topics. Regular practice with timed quizzes is the proven way to improve. Below you will find all 17 General Aptitude topics with links to quizzes, solved question-and-answer pages, and step-by-step tutorials.
Key Formulas
Percentage = (Value / Total) × 100
Profit % = (Profit / CP) × 100, Loss % = (Loss / CP) × 100
Speed = Distance / Time, Time = Distance / Speed
SI = (P × R × T) / 100, CI = P(1 + R/100)^T - P
Average = Sum / Count, Sum = Average × Count
Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes
Profit & Loss
Solve profit and loss scenarios from shops, markups, discounts, and real interview-style word problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in General Aptitude?
General Aptitude covers 17 topics: Percentages, Profit and Loss, Ratio and Proportion, Time and Work, Time-Speed-Distance, Simple and Compound Interest, Averages, Number Series, Mixtures, Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Algebra, Quadratic Problems, Geometry, Data Interpretation, Logical Puzzles, and Multi-Step Word Problems.
How many questions should I practice daily?
Start with 15-20 questions daily from one topic. After two weeks, increase to 30-40 questions across 2-3 topics. Use timed mode to build speed — aim to solve each question in under 60 seconds.
Are these questions suitable for TCS, Infosys, and Wipro placements?
Yes. The question patterns match those used by major IT companies. The difficulty mix (easy/medium/hard) reflects real placement test distributions where ~60% are easy-medium and ~40% are medium-hard.
How is this different from other aptitude sites?
Unlike static question banks, our platform generates fresh questions each session — you will never see the same set twice. Every question comes with a detailed explanation, instant correctness feedback, and timer tracking.
