Printer P can print one lakh books in 8 hours. Printer Q can print the same number of books in 10 hours while Printer R can print the same in 12 hours. All the Printers started printing at 9 A.M. Printer P is stopped at 11 A.M. and the remaining 2printers complete work. Approximately at what time will the printing of 1 lac books be completed?
Choose the correct choice from the following
A) 10 pm  B) 1 pm  C) 2 pm  D) 3 pm  E) 4 pm

Solution: Work done by P in 1 hour = 1/8   Work done by Q in 1 hour = 1/10   Work done by R in 1 hour = 1/12   Work done by P,Q and R in 1 hour = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12 = 37/120   Work done by Q and R in 1 hour = 1/10 + 1/12 = 22/120 = 11/60   From 9 am to 11 am, all the Printer were operating.   Ie, they all operated for 2 hours and work completed = 2 × (37/120) = 37/60   Pending work = 1- 37/60 = 23/60   Hours taken by Q an R to complete the pending work = (23/60) / (11/60) = 23/11   which is approximately equal to 2   Hence the work will be completed approximately 2 hours after 11 am ; ie around 1 pm   1 pm

B) 17/36
C) 137/379
D) 11/36
E) 25/216

Solution: Probability of winning game = 1- Probability of losing game   Probability of losing game = (Probability of not getting sum 7 in any of the three attempts)   Ways of getting sum 6 = (1,5)(2,4)(3,3)(4,2)(5,1)= 5 ways   Total ways of getting outcome on two dice =6*6= 
6*6 = 36
36   Probability of getting sum as 6 in any attempt=5/36=   Probability of NOT getting sum as 6 in any attempt = 1-(5/36)= 31/36   Probability of losing game =(31/36)*(31/36)*(31/36)=242/379   I.e. Probability of wining game = 1-(242/379) = 137/379   Answer : Option 137/379

Mary bought shares for a total value of $1000. Next day, the price of shares is reduced by 10%. With the same $1000, he could now buy 10 more shares. Which of the following is closest to the original price per share?  Options.
A) $10  B) $11  C) $12  D) $13  E) $14

Solution: From the given information,we can conclude that Mary bought x number of shares for $1000. With a 10% reduction in price, he could buy the same x number of shares for  1000*.90= 
 1000*.90 = 900
$900 . With the remaining money ($1000 - $900= $100), he can buy 10 more shares. So, the reduced price per share = $100/10= 
100/10 = 10
$10.   Therefore, if the reduced price of $10 equals the original price * 9/10, then the original price is approximately $11=$11

Solution: Let the additional invested amount for 8% interest be x;   Equation will be;   2000+0.05*2000+x+0.08x = 2000+x+0.06(2000+x)   0.05*2000+0.08x = 0.06x+0.06*2000   0.02x = 2000(0.06-0.05)   x = 2000*0.01/0.02= 
2000*0.01/0.02 = 1_000

Answer: C
A train travels 250 km in 2 hours and 350 km in 4 hours.find the average speed of train.  Select.
A) 80 kmph  B) 60 kmph  C) 70 kmph  D) 100 kmph  E) None of these

Solution: As we know that Speed = Distance / Time   for average speed = Total Distance / Total Time Taken   Thus, Total Distance = 250 + 350= 
250 + 350 = 600
600 km   Thus, Total Speed= 6 hrs   or,Average Speed = 600/6   or, 100kmph.   ANSWER:100 kmph
Answer: D
Jack and Paul are running 1000m. Jack runs 1.5Km/hr faster than Paul but also finishes the race 1.5 sec earlier. What is the speed of Jack??  Pick:
A) 19.6  B) 20.6  C) 21.6  D) 22.6  E) 23.6

Solution: distance(given) 1000m   paul speed(let)= x m/s   time(paul take)= 1000/x sec   jack speed= x + 1.5*(5/18) m/s   tym (jack)= 1000/(x+7.5/18) s   tym(paul) - tym (jack) = 1.5   solving for x we get 20.20   speed of jack is 20.20+ 7.5/18=20.61   ANSWER:20.6

Machine P and Machine Q are each used to manufacture 220 sprockets. It takes Machine P 10 hours longer to produce 220 sprockets than Machine Q. Machine Q produces 10% more sprockets per hour than Machine A. How many sprockets per hour does Machine A produce?  Answers.
A) 5  B) 2  C) 55  D) 95  E) 125

Solution: P makes x sprockets per hour.   Then Q makes 1.1x sprockets per hour.   220/x = 220/1.1x + 10   1.1(220) = 220 + 11x   11x = 22   x = 2   The answer is 2.
Answer: B
In a box, there are 10 red, 8 blue and 5 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?	Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 4/51	B) 10/21	C) 8/23	D) 11/31	E) 13/17

Solution: Total number of balls = 10+8+5= 
10+8+5 = 23
23   E= event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green   = event that the ball drawn is red   n(E) = 8   P(E) = 8/23   Answer is 8/23
Answer: C
If 7 gallons of gasoline are added to a tank that is already filled to 3/4 of its capacity, the tank is then filled to 9/10 of its capacity. How many gallons does the tank hold?
Choose the most appropriate option
A) 20
B) 24
C) 36
D) 42
E) 60

Solution: Let the Capacity of the tank=C   (3/4)C + 7 = (9/10)C   =>(9/10)C - (3/4)C = 7   =>(3/20)C = 7   =>C = (7*20)/3 = 46.66   Number of gallons of gasoline that the tank currently holds = 3/4*C +7 = 34.99+7= 
34.99+7 = 41.99
41.99=42   Answer 42

A small company is planning to rent either computer A or computer B to print customer mailing lists. Both computer A and computer B must be rented on an hourly basis. The rental fee is based only on the amount of time the computer is turned on. It will cost 40 percent more per hour to rent computer A than to rent computer B. Computer B would, however, require 20 hours more than computer A to do the job. If either computer A, or computer B were rented the total cost to rent the computer would be $880.00. What would be the approximate hourly charge to rent computer B?  Choose the correct option:  A) $9.40  B) $12.57  C) $13.20  D) $17.80  E) $22.10

Solution: Pa = price of A   Pb = price of $12.57   Ta = time for A to complete the job   Tb = time for $12.57 to complete the job   Given   Pa = 1.4 Pb   Ta+20 = Tb   Pa*Ta = Pb*Tb=880   1.4Pb * (Tb-20) = Pb*Tb   1.4 Pb Tb - Pb Tb = 1.4 Pb * 20   0.4PbTb = 28Pb   Tb = 28/0.4= 
28/0.4 = 70
