Numerical ability questions sit inside Accenture's cognitive section — with the shared 90-minute timer working out to roughly a minute per question, Accenture tests trained speed on classic arithmetic, not mathematical depth. Every topic below appears in memory-based papers drive after drive.
Most-tested aptitude topics
- Percentages, profit & loss (almost every paper)
- Averages and consecutive-number problems
- Ratio & proportion
- Time & work — worker-day logic
- Speed–time–distance and trains
- Number series and simple algebra
Practice Accenture aptitude questions
These questions are taken from memory-based Accenture papers. Click an option to check your answer and see the full working.
What is 15% of 80?
A train running at 54 km/hr crosses a lamp post in 20 seconds. What is the length of the train?
If 18 workers can complete a project in 10 days, how many days will it take 15 workers to complete the same project?
Tip: Accenture's numerical questions are single-step or two-step calculations — if you are three steps deep, you have missed the shortcut. Convert km/hr to m/s with ×5/18 instantly, and use worker-days (people × days = constant work) for every time-and-work question.
