I am three times as old as my son. Five year later, I shall be two and half times as old as my son. How old am I and how old is my son ?	Pick
A) 45 year and 15 year  B) 40 year and 10 year  C) 42 year and 12 year  D) 41 year and 11 year  E) None of these

Solution: Let my age is x years and my son’s age is y years, Then,   x = 3y   Five years later, my age will be (x + 5) years and my son’s age will be   (y + 5) years   Thus, (x + 5) = 5/2 (y + 5)   => 2x - 5 y - 15 =0   putting x = 3y, we get   6y - 5y - 15 = 0   => y = 15   Thus, x = 45   Hence, my present age is 45 years and my son’s present age is 15 years.   45 year and 15 yearNSWER:45 year and 15 year

The winning relay team in a high school sports competition clocked 48 minutes for a distance of 13.2 km. Its runners A, B, C and D maintained speeds of 15 kmph, 16 kmph, 17 kmph, and 18 kmph respectively. What is the ratio of the time taken by B to than taken by D?
Answers:
A) 5:16	B) 5:17	C) 9:8	D) 8:9	E) None of these

Solution: Explanation :   Since it is a relay race, all the runners ran the same distance.   Hence for a same distance, (ratio of times) = 1/(ratio of speeds).   Hence ratio of times taken by B t& D = 18 : 16 = 9 : 8.   Answer : 9:8

25% students of a class failed in Chemistry and 40% failed in Physics where 10% did not pass in any of the two subjects. If 30 students passed in only Physics, how many of them passed in both the subjects.  Options:
A) 60
B) 70
C) 80
D) 90
E) 100

Solution: n(C)=75% , n(P)=60% , n(PUC)= 90% => n(PnC)= 75% + 60% - 90% = 45%. given n(P) - n(PnC)75  + 60  - 90= 
75  + 60  - 90 = 45
45%. given n(P) - n(PnC)= 30 , 60% - 45% = 30 => 15% = 30 => 1% = 2 . n(PnC) = 45% = 90   ANSWER:90

Ritesh and Co. generated revenue of Rs. 1,800 in 2006. This was 12.5% of its gross revenue. In 2007, the gross revenue grew by Rs. 2,500. What is the percentage increase in the revenue in 2007? Choose one:
A) 17.36%  B) 20%  C) 25%  D) 50%  E) None of these

Solution: Explanation :   Given, Ritesh and Co. generated revenue of Rs. 1,800 in 2006 and that this was 12.5% of the gross revenue.   Hence, if 1800 is 12.5% of the revenue, then 100% (gross revenue) is:   =>(100/12.5)×1800.   =>14,400.   Hence, the total revenue by end of 2007 is Rs. 14,400. In 2006, revenue grew by Rs. 2500. This is a growth of:   =>(2500/14400)×100.   =>17.36%.   17.36%nswer : 17.36%

If 5a + 7b = g, where a and b are positive integers, what is the largest possible value of g for which exactly one pair of integers (a, b) makes the equation true?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 35	B) 48	C) 69	D) 70	E) 74

Solution: 5*a1 + 7*b1 = g   5*a2 + 7*b2 = g   5*(a1 - a2) = 7*(b2 - b1)   since we are dealing with integers we can assume that a1 - a2 = 7*q and b2 - b1 = 5*q where q is integer, so whenever we get a pair for (a;b) we can find another one by simply adding 7 to a and subtracting 5 from b or vice versa, subtracting 7 from a and adding 5 to b.   Lets check how it works for our numbers, starting from the largest:   E)74 = 5*12 + 7*2 (a1 = 12, b1 = 2), subtract 7 from a and add 5 to b respectively, so a2 = 5 and b2 = 7, second pair - bad   70)70 = 5*7 + 7*5 (a1 = 7, b1 = 5), if we add 7 to a we will have to subtract 5 from b but b can't be 0, so - no pair, if we subtract 7 from a, we'll get a = 0 which also isn't allowed - no pair, thus this is the only pair for (a;b) that works,good!, thus   70 is the answer

14), Since the total dogs are less than 30 therefore initial total value has to be 14   L= 2, A = 4 E = 8   L:A= 2:5   This ratio doubles   Hence New Dog count is   L= 4 , A = 4 E= X: Also 4+4+x<30   We need to Find X*100/(4+4+X)   Now it says that new percentage of little dogs and Average dogs is an integer   %L = 4*100/(8+x) %A = 4*100/(8+x); Only Value for X is 2 or 12 ; 9+x<30 and % integer   Therefore, Enormus Dogs % is = 12*100/(20) or 2*100/20 = 60% or 10%   10% or 60%
Answer: B
A can finish a work in 18 days and B can do the same work in half the time taken by A. Then, working together, what part of the same work they can finish in a day?  Choose the correct choice
A) 1/9 B) 1/6 C) 1/2 D) 1/1 E) 1/4

Solution: Given that 1/6 alone can complete the same work in days = half the time taken by A   = 9days   A’s one day work = 1/18   1/6’s one day work = 1/9   (A+1/6)’s one day work = 1/18+1/9 = 1/6   Answer : 1/6.
Answer: B
What is the number of integers from 1 to 1000 (inclusive) that are divisible by neither 20 nor by 35? Choose the correct option:
A) 567 B) 850 C) 560 D) 923 E) 240

Solution: In 1000 consecutive numbers, number of multiples of 20 = 1000/20= 
1000/20 = 50
50 (Ignore decimals)   In 1000 consecutive numbers, number of multiples of 35= 1000/35 = 28   Number of multiples of 20*35 i.e. 700 = 1000/700 = 1   Number of integers from 1 to 1000 that are divisible by neither 20 nor by 35 = 1000 - (50 + 28 - 1) {Using the concept of sets here) = 923   Answer is 923
Answer: D
5 kg of adulterated rice has 2% stones in it and the rest is rice. Half of the stone
content was removed. Now the percentage of stone content in it is
Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 0.99%
B) 1%
C) 1.1%
D) 1.01%
E) 2.01%

Solution: 2% of 5=0.1   Half of the stone has been remove so stone becomes 0.1/2= 
0.1/2 = 0.05
0.05   Total wt. becomes 5-0.05= 
5-0.05 = 4.95
4.95   % of stone=0.05*100/4.95=1.01%   ANSWER:1.01%

In 2008, a certain factory produced 10% more widgets than it did in 2007, and its production in 2009 was 110% of its production in 2008. By approximately what percent would its production need to decrease the following year for the factory to produce the same number of widgets it did in 2007?
Options:
A) 12%
B) 17%
C) 20%
D) 24%
E) 30%

Solution: Let P be the original level of production in 2007.   Let x be the rate of production in 2010 compared to 2009.   x*1.1*1.1*P = P   x = 1/1.21 = 0.826 which is a decrease of about 17%.   The answer is 17%.

A man gains 20% by selling an arƟcle for a certain price. If he sells it at double the price, the
percentage of profit will be
Choices
A) 130%
B) 140%
C) 150%
D) 160%
E) None of these

Solution: Explanation:   Let the C.P. = x,   Then S.P. = (120/100)x = 6x/5   New S.P. = 2(6x/5) = 12x/5   Profit = 12x/5 - x = 7x/5   Profit% = (Profit/C.P.) * 100   => (7x/5) * (1/x) * 100 = 140 %   Answer: 140%
