Albert started a business investing Rs. 45,000. After 3 months, peter joined him with a capital of Rs. 60,000. After another 6 months, Ronald joined them with a capital of Rs. 90,000. At the end of the year, they made a profit of Rs. 16,500. Find the share of each.  Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 3300
B) 4400
C) 5500
D) 6600
E) None

Solution: Sol.   Clearly, Albert invested his capital for 12 months, Peter for 9 months and Ronald for 3 months.   So, ratio of their capitals = (45000 * 12) : (60000 * 9) : (90000 * 3)   = 540000 : 540000 : 270000 = 2:2:1.   ∴ Alfred’s share = Rs. [16500 * 2/5] = Rs. 6600;   Peter’s share = Rs. [16500 * 2/5] = Rs. 6600;   Ronald’s share = Rs. [16500 * 1/5] = Rs. 3300.   3300nswer 3300

It takes eight hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car. It takes 20 minutes more, if 200 km is done by train and the rest by car. The ratio of the speed of the train to that of the cars is:  Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 2 : 3  B) 3 : 2  C) 3 : 4  D) 4 : 3  E) 4:6

Solution: Let the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr.   Then, 120/x + 480/y = 8 --> 1/x + 4/y = 1/15 ------ (i)   Also, 200/x + 400/y = 25/3 --> 1/x + 2/y = 1/24 ----(ii)   Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60 and y = 80.   Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4.   Answer : 3 : 4.

Select the correct option:
A) 21
B) 20
C) 19
D) 18
E) 15

Solution: Marcella has 23 pairs of shoes and loses 9 shoes.   To minimize the loss of identical pairs of shoes we want Marcella to lose as many identical pairs as possible. This would yield 4 identical pairs and 1 additional shoe (destroying 5 pairs of shoes).   The 23 pairs of shoes minus the 5 'destroyed' pairs yields 20 pairs that still fulfill the requirements.

What is the smallest number H which when increased by 5 is completely divisible by 8, 11 and 24?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 264 B) 259 C) 269 D) 270 E) 282

Solution: This question includes a number of great Number Property shortcuts that you can take advantage of:   1) The question asks for the SMALLEST number that, when increased by 5 is divisible by 8, 11 and 24. Since the answers are numbers, we can TEST THE ANSWERS.   2) Any number that is divisible by 24 is ALSO divisible by 8, so we really just need to consider the 11 and the 24.   3) To be divisible by 24, the end number MUST be EVEN. Since we're adding 5 to get to that end number, the starting number MUST be ODD.   The last shortcut allows us to eliminate Answers A, D and E. Between Answers B and C, TESTING B first will prove that, when increased by 5, the end sum is divisible by both 11 and 24.   Final Answer:   259

E) None of these

Solution: Let C.P.=Rs. 100. First S.P.=Rs. 120   Now, S.P. =Rs. 120, commission=10%   Therefore, Marked Price=[(100/90)X120]=Rs. 400/3.   No, marked price=400/3, commission=15%   Therefore, S.P.=85% of 400/3=[(85/100)X(400/3)]=340/3.   Therefore, Gain%=[(340/3)-100]=40/3=13(1/3)%.   ANSWER:13(1/3)%

A candidate who gets 20% marks fails by 10 marks but another candidate who gets 42% marks gets 12% more than the passing marks. Find the maximum marks.
Answers:
A) 50  B) 100  C) 150  D) 200  E) 250

Solution: Explanation :   Let the maximum marks be x.   The pass percentage is 42%−12%=30%.   By hypothesis, 30% of x–20% of x=10 (marks).   i.e., 10% of x=10.   Therefore, x = 100 marks.   Answer : 100

In a survey of parents, exactly 7/8 of the mothers and 3/4 of the fathers held full-time jobs. If 60 percent of the parents surveyed were women, what percent of the parents did not hold full-time jobs? Choose the correct option:
A) 25.5%
B) 21.5%
C) 17.5%
D) 13.5%
E) 9.5%

Solution: Fathers without full-time jobs are 1/4*2/5 = 2/20 of all the parents surveyed.   Mothers without full-time jobs are 1/8*3/5 = 3/40 of all the parents surveyed.   The percent of parents without full-time jobs is 2/20 + 3/40 = 7/40 = 17.5%   The answer is 17.5%.

A 300 m long train crosses a platform in 39 sec while it crosses a signal pole in 18 sec. What is the length of the platform?  Select the correct option:
A) 298 m B) 350 m C) 267 m D) 276 m E) 268 m

Solution: Speed = 300/18 = 50/3 m/sec.   Let the length of the platform be x meters.   Then, (x + 300)/39 = 50/3   3x + 900 = 1950 => x   =350 m.   Answer: 350 m
Answer: B
AMOUNT OF BACTERIA PRESENT
Time Amount
1:00 P.M. 14.0 grams
4:00 P.M. x grams
7:00 P.M. 18.4 grams
Data for a certain biology experiment are given in the table above. If the amount of bacteria present increased by the same fraction during each of the two 3-hour periods shown, how many grams of bacteria were present at 4:00 P.M.? Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 14.0  B) 16.1  C) 16.0  D) 12.3  E) 12.4

Solution: The question says that bacteria increased by same fraction, not by same amount in 2 intervals of 3 hours.   Let X represent the amount of bacteria present at 4:00 PM. Since the fractional increase must remain constant from 1 to 4pm as it is from 4pm to 7pm:   Fractional increase from 1 PM to 4 PM = X / 14.0   Fractional increase from 4 PM to 7 PM = 18.4 / X   X \ 14 = 18.4 \ X   X^2 = 18.4 * 14   X = 16   answer : 16.0
