The equation of line q is y = 4/3*x - 100. What is the smallest possible distance in the xy-plane from the point with coordinates (0, 0) to any point on line q?
Options:
A) 48
B) 50
C) 60
D) 75
E) 100

Solution: This can be solve in two steps and without any complex calculation.   Given : equation of line q as y=(4/3)x -100. So the line intercept the axes at (0,-100) and (75,0).   This can be considered a right angle triangle with right angle at (0,0) . So Base=100 , Height=75 and Hypotenuse =125 (By Pythagoras triplet)   So a perpendicular from the (0,0) to hypotenuse will be the answer.   Area of triangle= 0.5*100*75=0.5*125* x   => x=60;   SO answer is 60=60

A number has exactly 32 factors out of which 4 are not composite. Product of these 4 factors (which are not composite) is 30. How many such numbers W are possible?  Choose the most appropriate option:  A) 2  B) 4  C) 6  D) 3  E) Not possible

Solution: Firstly , we should note that 1 is NEITHER a prime nor a composite number.The first composite number is 4.Thus, when the problem states that there are 4 factors that are not composite, these nos are 1,2,3,5. Thus, the given number = 2^a*3^b*5^c. Also, (a+1)*(b+1)*(c+1) = 32. We can break down 32 into 3 integers as : 2*2*8 or 4*4*2   Also, the only possible combinations for a,b,c are : 3,3,1 OR 1,1,7. Thus, each combination has 3 possible orders and we have a total W of 6 possibilities.   6.

Anil does a work in 90 days, Bittu in 40 days and Chintu in 12 days. They work one after another for a day each, starting with Anil followed by Bittu and then by Chintu. If the total wages received are Rs 360 and Anil, Bittu, Chintu share them in the ratio of the work done, find their respective individual wages.
Choose the correct choice from the following
A) Rs 40, Rs 60 and Rs 260
B) Rs 36, Rs 81 and Rs 243
C) Rs 42, Rs 86 and Rs 232
D) Rs 38, Rs 88 and Rs 234
E) none of these

Solution: Let the total work done be 360 units.   Therefore, work done by Anil, Bittu and Chintu in single day are 4 units, 9 units and 30 units respectively.   Each of them working for 9 days Anil and Bittu will be able to complete 4 units and 9 units of their work on the 9th day but Chintu   will be doing remaining 3 units of work.   Hence, individual work done by them to complete the whole work is 36 units, 81 units and 243 units till the end of 9th day for each of them.   Thus, respective wages on the basis of work done is Rs 36, Rs 81 and Rs 243 respectively for Anil, Bittu and Chintu.   ANSWER:Rs 36, Rs 81 and Rs 243

Marcella has 20 pairs of shoes. If she loses 9 individual shoes, what is the greatest number of matching pairs she could have left?
Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 21
B) 20
C) 19
D) 16
E) 15

Solution: Marcella has 20 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 20 pairs of shoes minus the 5 'destroyed' pairs yields 15 pairs that still fulfill the requirements.   Answer: 15

A warehouse is labeling computer inventory with 4-digit codes. Each code is to consist of four digits between the numbers 0 and 8. The manager is debating whether to allow any 4-digit codes to have leading zero's before a non-zero number is used. If not allowed, then numbers like0025cannot be used.
The manager wants to measure the magnitude of the number of 4-digit code possibilities that are lost if he disallows the use of leading zero's. How many such codes would be lost?	Choose the correct answer:
A) 981	B) 2000	C) 1011	D) 1101	E) 1110

Solution: The number of codes possible if leading zero is allowed = 10*10*10*10=10^4   The number of codes possible if leading zero is NOT allowed = 8*10*10*10=9*10^3   The difference = 10^4 - 8*10^3 = 10^3(10-8) = 2*10^3.   Answer: B.   Similar questions to practice:   Hope it helps.

Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 30
B) 105
C) 330
D) 14!
E) 15!

Solution: Method-1:   Italy Total Cities = 15 and each city should be connected with every other city   So Total Roads required to connect 1st City with other 14 cities = 14   Now 1st City is connected with all other cities so,   So Total Roads required to connect 2nd City with 13 cities (Other than 1st) = 13   Now 1st and 2nd Cities are connected with all other cities so,   So Total Roads required to connect 3rd City with 12 cities (Other than 1st, and 2nd) = 12   ......and so on...   Total Roads required = 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1= 
14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 105

Sreenivas sells a table to Shiva at 10% profit and Shiva sells it to Mahesh at 10% loss. At what price did Sreenivas purchase the table if Mahesh paid Rs. 3168?	Choose the correct answer:
A) 2277
B) 3200
C) 2200
D) 2766
E) 2998

Solution: Let the cost price of table for Sreenivas be Rs. x and given that, cost price of table for Mahesh = Rs. 3168.   => (90%) of (110%) of x = Rs. 3168.   => (90/100)(110/100)x = 3168   => x = (3168 * 100)/(9 * 11)   => x = Rs. 3200   Answer: 3200

A) 32
B) 28
C) 29
D) 30
E) None of these

Solution: Explanation :   At first, let's find the number fo integers in the given series.   => Tn = a + (n - 1) d.   => 467 = 3 + (n - 1) 8.   => 464/8 = n - 1.   => 58 + 1 = n. i.e n = 59.   If we closely observe the given set 3 + 467 = 11 + 459 = .... = 470.   The total number of elements in the given set = 59.   This means that we have 59/2 i.e 29 pairs of values that add to 470, and one lone number (235) that has no other number to pair up with.   So, We have 29 prohibited number pairs: (3 and 467), (11 and 459), (19 and 451), . . .   We can take 1 number from each of these pairs, so we can have 29 numbers in set S.   PLUS we can have the lone number 235.   So, set S can have a maximum of 29+1 i.e 30 numbers.   Answer : 30

Solution: The work Done by Inlet A and B together in 1 min = 1/42   The work Done by Inlet A (First Inlet) in 1 min = 1/120   The work Done by Inlet B (Second Inlet) in 1 min = (1/42)- (1/120) =1/65   DIfference of Work done by B and A = B - A = 50 Cubic meter   i.e. (1/65)- (1/120) = 50 Cubic meter   = 7000 Cubic Meter   7,000nswer: option 7,000
Answer: A
How long will it take for a sum of money to grow from Rs.1250 to Rs.10,000, if it is invested at 12.5% p.a simple interest?
Pick
A) 8 years  B) 64 years  C) 72 years  D) 56 years  E) None

Solution: Solution:   Simple interest is given by the formula SI = (pnr/100), where p is the principal, n is the number of years for which it is invested, r is the rate of interest per annum   In this case, Rs. 1250 has become Rs.10,000.   Therefore, the interest earned = 10,000 – 1250 = 8750.   8750 = [(1250*n*12.5)/100]   => n = 700 / 12.5= 
700 / 12.5 = 56
56 years.   Answer 56 years

Two integers will be randomly selected from the sets above, one integer from set E and one integer from set B. What is the probability that the sum of the two integers will equal 9 ?
Choose one
A) 0.15	B) 0.20	C) 0.25	D) 0.30	E) 0.33

Solution: The total number of pairs E,B possible is   4*5= 
  4*5 = 20
20. Out of these 20 pairs only 4 sum up to 9: (2, 7); (3, 6), (4, 5) and (5, 4). The probability thus is 4/20=0.2.   Answer: 0.20.
