Answer: C
Two integers are in the ratio of 1 to 4. If 12 is added to the smaller number, the ratio becomes 1 to 1. Find the larger integer.  Choose the correct answer.
A) 8
B) 16
C) 32
D) 48
E) 54

Solution: One option is to set up the equations and solve:   If the ratio of two integers x and y is 1 to 4, then 4x=y, where x is the smaller integer.   If adding 12 to the smaller integer makes the ratio 1 to 1, then x+12=y.   Substituting y=4x into the second equation yields x+12=4x.   So, x=4 (smaller integer) and, y=4x=16 (larger integer) so B is the correct answer.   Another option is to TEST the answer choices.   A) the larger number is 8   Given: the two integers are in the ratio of 1 to 4   So, the smaller number must be 2   If 12 is added to the smaller number, the ratio becomes 1 to 1   If we add 12 to the smaller number (2), we get 14.   So, the new ratio is 14 to 8 which is the same as 7 to 4.   No good. We want a resulting ratio of 1 to 1   ELIMINATE A   B) the larger number is 16   Given: the two integers are in the ratio of 1 to 4   So, the smaller number must be 4   If 12 is added to the smaller number, the ratio becomes 1 to 1   If we add 12 to the smaller number (4), we get 16   So, the new ratio is 16 to 16 which is 1 to 1.   Therefore (B) is correct.   C) the larger number is 32   Given: the two integers are in the ratio of 1 to 4   So, the smaller number must be 8   If 12 is added to the smaller number, the ratio becomes 1 to 1   If we add 12 to the smaller number (8), we get 20   So, the new ratio is 20 to 32 which is 5 to 8.   No good. We want a resulting ratio of 1 to 1   ELIMINATE C   D) the larger number is 48   Given: the two integers are in the ratio of 1 to 4   So, the smaller number must be 12   If 12 is added to the smaller number, the ratio becomes 1 to 1   If we add 12 to the smaller number (12), we get 24   So, the new ratio is 24 to 48. This is the same as the ratio of 1 to 2   No good. We want a resulting ratio of 1 to 1   ELIMINATE D   E) the larger number is 54   Given: the two integers are in the ratio of 1 to 4   So, the smaller number must be 13.5 (which is not an integer)   Since both numbers are integers, the larger number cannot be 54.   ELIMINATE E   Therefore 16 is the only correct choice.

Exactly 18% of the reporters for a certain wire service cover local politics in Country X. If 40% of the reporters who cover politics for the wire service do not cover local politics in Country X, what percent of the reporters for the wire service do not cover politics?  Select:
A) 20% B) 42% C) 44% D) 70% E) 84%

Solution: Let's assume there are 100 reporters --> 18 reporters cover local politics.   Now, as 40% of the reporters who cover all politics do not cover local politics then the rest 60% of the reporters who cover politics do cover local politics, so if there are x reporters who cover politics then 60% of them equal to 18 (# of reporters who cover local politics): 0.6x=18 --> x=30, hence 30 reporters cover politics and the rest 100-30= 
100-30 = 70
70 reporters do not cover politics at all.   Answer: 70%.

Solution: We can break this problem into two parts:   1) What is 1/10 percent of 6,000?   2) What is 1/10 of 6,000?   To calculate 1/10 percent of 6,000 we must first remember to DIVIDE 1/10 BY 100.   So we have: (1/10)/(100)   To divide a number by 100 means to multiply it by 1/100, so we have:   1/10 x 1/100 = 1/1,000   Thus, 1/10 percent of 6,000 = 1/1,000 x 6,000 = 6.   Now let's concentrate on part 2. We need to calculate 1/10 of 5,000. To do this we simply multiply 1/10 by 6,000.   1/10 x 6,000 = 600   The answer to part 1 is 6, and the answer to part 2 is 600. Their difference is 600 – 6 = 694.   Answer 694.

An amount of Rs. 100000 is invested in two types of shares. The first yields an interest of 9% p.a and the second, 11% p.a. If the total interest at the end of one year is 9 3/5 %, then the amount invested at 11% was?	Choose the correct choice
A) 23777 B) 30000 C) 29977 D) 26777 E) 19871

Solution: Let the sum invested at 9% be Rs. x and that invested at 11% be Rs. (100000 - x). Then,   (x * 9 * 1)/100 + [(100000 - x) * 11 * 1]/100 = (100000 * 48/5 * 1/100)   (9x + 1100000 - 11x) = 960000   x = 70000   Sum invested at 9% = Rs. 70000   Sum invested at 11% = Rs. (100000 - 70000) = Rs. 30000.   Answer: 30000
