An employee whose hourly wage was increased by 25 percent decided to reduce the number of hours worked per week so that the employee's total weekly income would remain unchanged. By what percent should the number of hours worked be reduced?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 9  B) 13  C) 16  D) 20  E) 25

Solution: Let original hourly wage be x and let the no of hours worked be y   Total wage will be =x*y   After the increment the wage will be=1.25 x   Now we need to find number of hours worked so that   x*y=1.25x*z i.e z=4/5 y   %decrease = (y-4/5y)/y *100=100/5= 
100/5 = 20

A) 9:10
B) 17:19
C) 23:27
D) 16:19
E) 15:23

Solution: Let x be the height of triangle A and y be the height of triangle of B.   since triangles are similar, ratio of area of A and B is in the ratio of x^2/y^2   Therefore, (x^2/y^2)=1792/2527   (x^2/y^2)=(16*16*7)/(19*19*7)   (x^2/y^2)=16^2/19^2   x/y=16/19   Ans=16:19

A, B and C started a business with a total investment of Rs. 90000. A invests Rs. 6000 more than B and B invests Rs. 3000 less than C. If the total profit at the end of a year is Rs. 8640, Find A's share. Pick:
A) Rs. 3168  B) Rs. 2520  C) Rs. 2880  D) Rs. 3360  E) None of these

Solution: Explanation:   Let C's investment = Rs. x   B's investment = Rs. (x - 3000)   A's investment = Rs. (x - 3000 + 6000) = Rs. (x + 3000)   Now, (A + B + C)'s investment = Rs. 90000   => x + (x - 3000) + (x + 3000) = 90000   => 3x = 90000   => x = 30000   Hence, A's investment = Rs. 33000   B's investment = Rs. 27000   C's investment = Rs. 30000   Ratio of the capitals of A, B and C   = 33000 : 27000 : 30000   = 11 : 9 : 10   A's share = Rs.

What is the sum of the digits of integer k, if k = (10^30- 36)
Options:
A) 251
B) 260
C) 263
D) 269
E) 262

Solution: There are 31 digits in 10^30   When we subtract 36 from it, there will be 30 digits left.   10^30 can be written as 9999999....(30 times) + 1   So,   10^30 - 36 = 9999999....(30 times) + 1 - 36 = 9999999....(30 times) -35   Consider the last 2 digits,   99-35= 
99-35 = 64
64   The last 2 digits will be 64.   And our number would be 99999......99964 with 2 less 9s after subtraction.   Number of 9s left are 28 and the last two digits are 64   The sum of the digits will be     (28*9) + 6 + 4= 
  (28*9) + 6 + 4 = 262

Five men and five women have to sit around a circular table so that no 2 women are together. In how many ways can that be done?  Choose the correct answer
A) 4!*5!	B) 6!*6!	C) 5!*7!	D) 6!*7!	E) 7!*7!

Solution: The number of arrangements of n distinct objects in a row is given by n!.   The number of arrangements of n distinct objects in a circle is given by (n-1)!.   The difference between placement in a row and that in a circle is following: if we shift all object by one position, we will get different arrangement in a row but the same relative arrangement in a circle. So, for the number of circular arrangements of n objects we have: n!/n=(n-1)!   Now, 5 men in a circle can be arranged in (5-1)! ways and if we place 5 women in empty slots between them then no two women will be together. The # of arrangement of these 5 women will be 5! and not 4! because if we shift them by one position we'll get different arrangement because of the neighboring men.   So the answer is indeed 4!*5!.   4!*5!

Solution: If the speed of Y meters per second is equivalent to the speed of X kilometers per hour, what is X in terms of Y? (1 kilometer=1000 meters)   We need to find an equation with y in the answer...   convert all measurements so they are alike (i.e. convert km to m, seconds to hours, etc)   Speed = y/t   y meters/second   (3600) x meters/hour   Speed = x/t   x KM/hour   Speed = x/hour   x/hour = (3600) x meters/hour   x/1hour = y(3600) / 1 hour   x = y(3600)   x = 3600y   Answer: 3600y.

If x−log48+3log2=log125/3−log3, what is the value of x? Select the correct option.
A) 2  B) 1  C) 3  D) 5  E) 8

Solution: Explanation:   1/3 log 125= log (125^1/3) = log 5   3 log 2= log (2^3)= log 8   log a + log b= log (a*b)   Utilizing the same,   LHS= x -log 48 +log 8= x - log 6 - log 8 + log 8 = x - log 6   RHS= log 5 - log 3   => x= log 5 - log 3 + log 6 = log 5 - log 3 + log 2 + log 3   => x= log 10 = 1   Answer 1

A magician has five animals in his magic hat: 3 doves and 2 rabbits. If he pulls two animals out of the hat at random, what is the chance Z that he will have a matched pair?	Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) Z=2/5	B) Z=3/5	C) Z=1/5	D) 1/2	E) 7/5

Solution: P(both doves) + P(both rabbits) = p (matched pair)   (3/5)*(2/4) + (2/5)*(1/4) = 2/5   Hi How did you get the probability 2/4 and 1/4???   You have 3 doves and 2 rabbits i.e. a total of 5 animals.   The probability that you pick a dove on your first pick is 3/5 (since there are 3 doves)   The probability that you pick a dove on your second pick too is 2/4 (because now only 2 doves are left after we picked a dove in the first pick. ALso only 4 animals are left to choose from)   Similarly,   The probability that you pick a rabbit on your first pick is 2/5 (since there are 2 rabbits)   The probability that you pick a rabbit on your second pick too is 1/4 (because now only 1 rabbit is left after we picked a rabbit in the first pick. Z=2/5lso only 4 animals are left to choose from)   Probability of picking a matched pair = 3/5 * 2/4 + 2/5 * 1/4 = 2/5

A bread merchant declares a 15% discount after 8 P.M. Ana goes before 8 P.M. with Rs.50 in her pocket to buy 3 pieces of bread and got some change. Tom goes after 8 P.M. with Rs.40. How many pieces of bread can Tom buy at the most?  Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
E) 5

Solution: At the most, a piece of bread costs 50/3 = 16.67 before 8 P.M.   After 8 P.M., each piece of bread will now cost (1 - 15%) * 16.67 = 0.85 * 16.67 = 14.17   Since Tom has Rs.40, 40 / 14.17 = 2.82   Since you cannot buy half pieces of bread, at the most, Tom can buy 2 pieces of bread after 8 P.M.   Correct Option: 2
Answer: B
The “z-number” of a number x is defined as the ones digit of 2^x. Antony rolls a die with 6 sides labeled with the integers from 1 to 6, each of which has an equal probability of landing face-up. He then takes 3^z, where z is the z-number of the result of his die roll, and plots 3^z on a number line as the point A. Finally, he repeats this entire process, this time plotting the result as the point B. What is the probability that the distance between A and B is greater than the value of B? Choose the correct choice: A) 3/8 B) 13/36 C) 17/36 D) 19/36 E) 23/36

Solution: If you calculate 3^z for 1st roll, all 6 results will be 9, 81, 6561, 729, 9, 81. This result is the same for 2nd roll. 9, 81, 6561, 729, 9, 81.   About distance: If the first result is 9 and the second is also 9, the distance is   9-9= 
  9-9 = 0
0 which is smaller than 9. If the first result is 9 and the second is 81, the distance is   81-9= 
  81-9 = 72
72 which is also smaller than B which has the value of 81. If the first result is 81 and the second is 9, the distance will be greater than B. Distance  81-9= 
 81-9 = 72
72>9.   On the first roll, the probability of getting result 9 is 2/6. In this case no other alternative values for second roll which would make the distance greater than B. So probability is 0. So next estimations are:   probability of getting 81 on the first roll (2/6) * probability of getting 9 on the second roll (2/6)= 1/9   probability of getting 729 on the first roll (1/6) * probability of getting 9, 81 on the second roll (4/6) = 1/9   probability of getting 6561 on the first roll (1/6) * probability of getting 9, 81, 729 on the first roll (5/6) = 5/36   All together: 1/9 + 1/9 + 5/36 = 13/36=13/36

The difference between a two digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 36. What is the difference between the sum and the difference of the digits of the number if the ratio between the digits of the number is 1 : 2?  Choose the correct choice from the following:  A) 4  B) 8  C) 12  D) 16  E) 18

Solution: Sol.   Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten's is greater than the unit's digit.   Let the ten's and units digit be 2x and x respectively.   Then, (10× 2x + x) - (10x + 2x) = 36   ⇔ 9x = 36   ⇔ x = 4.   ∴ Required difference = (2x+x)-(2x-x) = 2x = 8.   Answer 8
