In a certain bathtub, both the cold-water and the hot-water fixtures leak. The cold-water leak alone would fill an empty bucket in c hours, and the hot-water leak alone would fill the same bucket in h hours, where c < h. If both fixtures began to leak at the same time into the empty bucket at their respective constant rates and consequently it took t hours to fill the bucket, which of the following must be true?
I. c < t < h
II. 0 < t < h
III. (c/2) < t < (h/2) Choose the correct choice from the following
A) a) I only	B) b) II only	C) c) III only	D) d) I and II	E) e) II and III

Solution: I picked numbers for this problem   C = 2 hours   H = 3 hours   C<H   2 people working together formula is   1/C + 1/H = 1/t   1/2 + 1/3 = 1/t   t = 6/5= 
6/5 = 6/5 = around 1.2
1.2   Substitute the values of C, H and t in the 3 choices given below   Only 2, 3 are valid.Therefore e) II and III is the best answer

If x and y are positive integers, Choose which of the following CANNOT be the greatest common divisor of 35x and 20y?  Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 5 B) 5(x-y) C) 10x D) 20y E) 35x

Solution: We are looking for a choice that CANNOT be the greatest common divisor of 35x and 20y ...which means 35x and 20y when divided by the answer choice the quotient should not be a integer.   lets check   a. 5 35x/5 = 7x and 20y/5 = 4y both are integers so eliminate   b. 5(x-y) when x 20 /5= 
20 /5 = 4
4y both are integers so eliminate   b. 5(x-y) when x= 2 and y = 1 it could be be the greatest common divisor ..so eliminate   c. 10x when x = 1 its 10 and 10 cannot be the greatest common divisor of 35x and 20y ...   or 35x/10x = 3.5 which is not a integer.   so answer is 10x.35 /10= 
35 /10 = 7/2 = around 3.5
3.5 which is not a integer.   so answer is 10x.

Find how many positive integers less than 10,000 are there such thatthe sum of the digits of the no. is divisible by 3?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 2468  B) 2789  C) 2987  D) 3334  E) 3568

Solution: If sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the number is divisible by 3.   Therefore, required number of non-negative integers is equal to count of numbers less than 10,000 which are divisible by 3.   Such numbers are (3, 6, 9, ... , 9999) (arithmetic progression with first term=3, last term=9999, common difference=3).   Count of such numbers =   9999   3   =   3333   99993=3333   But zero is also divisible by 3.   This makes our total count 3334   3334

Solution: There are 2n ways of choosing ‘n’ objects. For e.g. if n = 3, then the three objects can be chosen in the following 23 ways - 3C0 ways of choosing none of the three, 3C1 ways of choosing one out of the three, 3C2 ways of choosing two out of the three and 3C3 ways of choosing all three.   In the given problem, there are 5 Rock songs. We can choose them in 25 ways. However, as the problem states that the case where you do not choose a Rock song does not exist (at least one rock song has to be selected), it can be done in 25 - 1 = 32 - 1= 
32 - 1 = 31
31 ways.   Similarly, the 6 Carnatic songs, choosing at least one, can be selected in 26 - 1= 64 - 1= 
64 - 1 = 63
63 ways.   And the 3 Indi pop can be selected in 23= 8 ways. Here the option of not selecting even one Indi Pop is allowed.   Therefore, the total number of combinations = 31 * 63 * 8= 
31 * 63 * 8 = 15_624

3 people are sitting in a 4 seat row watching a football game. At halftime they all get up. When they return, they each randomly sit down on one of the 4 chairs. What is the likelihood that none of the 4 end up sitting in the same chair that they sat in during the first half? Choices:
A) 1/2  B) 9/24  C) 15/24  D) 18/24  E) 21/24

Solution: Originally seated A B C D   now when after they get up and when they sit back again .   1st- A has option to sit on 3 seats ( apart from his previous seat . thus he now sits on B's seat.)   2nd- Similarly B has option to sit on 3 seats ( because A has already occupied B's previous seat, thus B sits on a's seat.)   3rd- Now C has only 1 option to sit on D's seat . and similarly D also has one option to sit on C's seat.)   hence total favourable outcomes   3*1*1= 
  3*1*1 = 3
3   and total possible outcomes=3!=6   probability of the favourable outcome=1/2. 1/2

Solution: Explanation:   In the given question we have taken average of 6 numbers taken 2 at a time which makes 3 numbers.   => 3.95 (Average of 1st and 2nd number)   => 3.85 (Average of 3rd and 4th number)   => 3.4 (Average of 5th and 6th number)   3.95 = (3.4 + 3.85 + x)/3   x = 4.6   ANSWER 4.6
Answer: D
The rate of a certain chemical reaction is directly proportional to the square of the concentration of chemical A present and inversely proportional to the concentration of chemical E present. If the concentration of chemical E is increased by 100 percent, which of the following is closest to the percent change in the concentration of chemical A required to keep the reaction rate unchanged?	Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 100% decrease
B) 50% decrease
C) 40% decrease
D) 40% increase
E) 50% increase

Solution: Let A and E be the concentratrations of the individual chemicals.   Rate of chemical reaction = A^2/E   Since new E is increased by 100%   Rate = A^2/(2E)   For the rate to be constant, new value of A should be square root(2)   So new value of A = 1.414A   That means A is increased by 41.4%   Nearest solution is 40% increase
Answer: D
Peter read R books last year, and Nikki read N books last year. If Peter read 35 more books than Nikki last year, which of the following reflects this relationship?
Choose the correct choice
A) R > 35N  B) R < N − 35  C) R > N + 35  D) R = N − 35  E) R = N + 35

Solution: Peter read R books last year, and Nikki read N books last year. If Peter read 35 more books than Nikki last year, which of the following reflects this relationship?   A. R > 35N   B. R < N − 35   C. R > N + 35   D. R = N − 35   E. R = N + 35   Since Peter read more books than Nikki we have R>N. Moreover since Peter reads 35 more books than Nikki easily we can have R=N+35.   So the answer is (R = N + 35).
