One pump drains one-half of a pond in 6 hours, and then a second pump starts draining the pond. The two pumps working together finish emptying the pond in one-half hour. How long would it take the second pump to drain the pond if it had to do the job alone?  Choose the correct option:
A) 1 hour  B) 1.09 hour  C) 3 hours  D) 5 hours  E) 6 hours

Solution: The tricky part here, I believed is one half hour = 1/2. Then everything would be easy.   We have the 1st pump working rate/hour = 1/2 :6 = 1/12   Working rate of 2 pumps: 1/2 : 1/2 = 1.   Working rate of 2nd pump: 1 -1/12= 11/12 --> Time taken for the 2nd pump to finish: 1 : 11/12 = 12/11 = 1.09 hours.   1.09 hour

B) $35
C) $31
D) $41
E) It cannot be determined

Solution: let's suppose that the price of a burger is BB, of a shake - SS and that of a cola is CC. We can then construct these equations:   3B+7S+C=120   4B+10S+C=162.5   Subtracting the first equation from the second gives us B+3S=42.5   Now if we subtract the new equation two times from first or 3 times from second we will get B+S+C=35. In any case, there is no necessity to know each item's price, just the sum.   Answer: $35

The cost of 10 kg of apples is equal to the cost of 24 kg of rice. The cost of 6 kg of flour equals the cost of 2 kg of rice. The cost of each kg of flour is Rs.20.50. Find the total cost of 4 kg of apples, 3 kg of rice and 5 kg of flour?
Choose the correct answer:  A) Rs.849.40  B) Rs.877.40  C) Rs.901.60  D) Rs.815.20  E) None of these

Solution: Let the costs of each kg of apples and each kg of rice be Rs.a and Rs.r respectively.   10a = 24r and 6 * 20.50 = 2r   a = 12/5 r and r = 61.5   a = 147.6   Required total cost = 4 * 147.6 + 3 * 61.5 + 5 * 20.5   = 590.4 + 184.5 + 102.5 = Rs.877.40   ANSWER:Rs.877.40
Answer: B
A customer using a certain telephone calling plan pays a fee of $25 per month, and then receives a discount of 40% on the regular charge for all calls made to country Z. If calls to country Z are regularly charged at $1.60 per minute for the first 3 minutes, and $0.80 per minute for each minute thereafter, what is the maximum the customer could have saved over regular prices if he was charged for 1 hour of calls made to country Z in a certain month?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices:	A) $8.75	B) $12	C) $13.40	D) $17.40	E) $24.40

Solution: Discount = 40% of spending   We want to maximise discount so we will need to maximise spending. We do that by assuming that 60 calls were made of 1 min each because the first minute is the most expensive.   Max discount = (40/100)* 60 * 1.6 = (40/100)*96   This would be slightly less than 40. About 38 to 39.   Saving = (Slightly less than 40) - 25 = Slightly less than 15 charged in Z country   Answer ($13.40)
Answer: C
A circular rim 28 inches in a diameter rotates the same number of inches per second as a circular rim 35 inches in diameter. If the smaller rim makes E revilutions per second, how many revilutions per minute does the larger rim makes in terms of E? Answers
A) a) 48pi/E
B) b) 75m
C) c) 48E
D) d) 24E
E) e) E/75

Solution: distance covered by a circular wheel per sec* = 2*pi* r * n   where n is number of revolution   So we know the smaller rim makes E rev per sec so the inches coverd SR per sec = 28 * pi* E   the problem the say SR rotates the same number of inches as the LR.   The inches covered by the LR per sec = 35 * pi*Y   So equate both u will get Y = 4/5 E   Theis is in sec we need the answer in min so 48E   answer is c) 48E

D) 2x2 - 9x + 7
E) None of these

Solution: Solution:   P1(x)+P2(x)=(3x2−7x+6)+(−5x2−4x+2)=P1(x)+P2(x)=(3x2−7x+6)+(−5x2−4x+2)=   3x2−7x+6−5x2−4x+2=3x2−7x+6−5x2−4x+2=   −2x2−11x+8   Answer -2x2 - 11x + 8
Answer: B
At a certain supplier, a machine of type A costs $30,000 and a machine of type B costs $65,000. Each machine can be purchased by making a 20 percent down payment and repaying the remainder of the cost and the finance charges over a period of time. If the finance charges are equal to 40 percent of the remainder of the cost, how much less would 2 machines of type A cost than 1 machine of type B under this arrangement?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) $6,600
B) $11,200
C) $12,000
D) $12,800
E) $13,200

Solution: Total Cost of 2 Machines of Type $6,600   = 20% of (Cost of 2 machine $6,600) + remainder + 40 % remainder   = 20% of 30000 + (30000 - 20% of 30000) + 40% of (30000 - 20% of 30000)   = 79200   Total Cost of 1 Machine of Type B   = 20% of (Cost of 1 machine B) + remainder + 40 % remainder   = 20% of 65000 + (65000 - 20% of 65000) + 40% of (65000 - 20% of 65000)   = 85800   Diff = 85800 - 79200= 
85800 - 79200 = 6_600
6600   Hence, $6,600.

John and Rose play the following game with n sticks on a table. Each must remove 1,2,3,4, or 5 sticks at a time on alternate turns, and no stick that is removed is put back on the table. The one who removes the last stick (or sticks) from the table wins. If John goes first, which of the following is a value of n such that Rose can always win no matter how John plays? Choose the correct option
A) 7	B) 10	C) 11	D) 12	E) 16

Solution: If the number of sticks on a table is a multiple of 6, then the second player will win in any case (well if the player is smart enough).   Consider n=6, no matter how many sticks will be removed by the first player (1, 2, 3 ,4 or 5), the rest (5, 4, 3, 2, or 1) can be removed by the second one.   The same for n=12: no matter how many sticks will be removed by the first player 1, 2, 3 ,4 or 5, the second one can remove 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 so that to leave 6 sticks on the table and we are back to the case we discussed above.   Answer: 12.
