In a certain game, you pick a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. If the card is a spade, you win. If the card is not a spade, the person replaces the card to the deck, reshuffles, and draws again. The person keeps repeating that process until he picks a spade, and the point is to measure how many draws did it take before the person picked a spade and won. What is the probability that there will be at least three draws involved in a win, i.e. someone picking her first spade on the third draw or later?  Choose one:
A) 1/2 B) 11/16 C) 9/16 D) 13/16 E) 15/16

Solution: Probability of picking a spade on any draw = 1/4   Probability of NOT picking a spade on the first draw AND on the second draw = [1-(1/4)] X [1-(1/4)] = 3/4 X 3/4 = 9/16   Answer : 9/16

A certain car can travel 40 minutes on a gallon of gasoline at 60 miles per hour. If the car had started with a full tank and had 12 gallons of gasoline left in its tank at the end, then what percent of the tank was used to travel 80 miles at 60 mph? Answers.
A) 15%  B) 20%  C) 25%  D) 30%  E) 14%

Solution: Total time for travelling 80 miles @ 60 mph = 80/60 = 4/3 hour = 80 minutes.   Given, the car uses 1 gallon for every 40 minutes of driving @ 60 mph. Thus in 80 minutes it will use = 2 gallons. Thus, full tank = 2+12= 
2+12 = 14
14 gallons ---> 2/14= 14% of the fuel used. 14% is the correct answer.

There are two inlets and one outlet to a cistern. One of the inlets takes 2 hours to fill up the cistern and the other inlet takes twice as much time to fill up the same cistern. Both of the inlets are turned on at 9:00 AM with the cistern completely empty, and at 10:00AM, the outlet is turned on and it takes 1 more hour to fill the cistern completely. How much time does the outlet working alone takes to empty the cistern when the cistern is full?	Choices:  A) 2 hours  B) 2.5 hours  C) 3 hours  D) 3.5 hours  E) 4 hours

Solution: The combined inflow rate of the two inlets is 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4 cistern/hour. Thus, working together, it takes 4/3 hours (time is reciprocal of rate) to fill the cistern.   From 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, so in 1 hours, the inlet pipes will fill (time)*(rate) = 1*3/4 = 3/4 th of the cistern .   Then the outlet is turned on and the remaining 1/4 th of the cistern is filled in 1 hour.   Letting x to be the rate of the outlet, we would have: 3/4 - x = 1/4 --> x = 1/2 cistern/hour, which means that it takes 2 hours the outlet working alone to empty the cistern.   2 hoursnswer: 2 hours

The 15 homes in a new development are each to be sold for one of three different prices so that the developer receives an average (arithmetic mean) of $200,000 per home. If 4 of the homes are to be sold for $170,000 each and 5 are to be sold for $200,000 each, what will be the selling price of each of the remaining 8 homes? Choose the correct choice from the following
A) $200,000 B) $210,000 C) $215,000 D) $220,000 E) $230,000

Solution: IMO the answer has to be D.   5 houses are being sold for 200,000. 4 houses are being sold for $30,000 less, resulting in a loss of $120,000. To make the average selling price intact i.e. $200,000, the remaining 8 houses must be sold at such a profit that it compensates for the loss of 120,000. Hence 8x=120,000.   x=15,000.   The 8 houses are sold at $15,000 profit or at $215,000. (ANSWER $215,000)

Answer: A
Two trains are moving in opposite directions with speed of 210 km/hr and 90 km/hr respectively. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. the slower train cross the faster train in --- seconds
Select the correct option.
A) 56 B) 48 C) 47 D) 26 E) 24

Solution: 24xplanation:   Relative speed = 210+90= 
210+90 = 300
300 km/hr (Since both trains are moving in opposite directions)   Total distance= 1.1+.9= 
1.1+.9 = 2
2km   Time= 2/300 hr = 1/150 hr = 3600/150= 
3600/150 = 24
24 seconds   Answer: Option 24
