The difference of 2 digit no. & the no. obtained by interchanging the digits is 36. What is the difference the sum and the number if the ratio between the digits of the number is 1:2 ?	Pick one:
A) 6 B) 8 C) 10 D) 12 E) 13

Solution: Let the number be xy.   Given xy – yx = 36.   This means the number is greater is than the number got on reversing the digits.   This shows that the ten’s digit x > unit digit y.   Also given ratio between digits is 1 : 2 => x = 2y   (10x + y) – (10y +x) = 36 => x – y = 4 => 2y – y =4.   Hence, (x + y) – (x – y) = 3y – y = 2y = 8   8

The ratio T , by volume of soap to alcohol to water in a 76 litre solution is 2: 50: 100 . The solution is then altered by adding more soap, alcohol and water.After this alteration the ratio, by volume of soap to water in the solution doubles whereas the ratio, by volume of soap to water remains the same as before. What COULD BE the resulting volume. Choose one
A) 79 litres
B) 78 litres
C) 77 litres
D) 152 liters
E) 304 litres

Solution: I guess it should be   the ratio T, by volume ofsoaptowaterin the solutiondoubleswhereas the ratio, by volume ofalocoholtowaterremains thesameas before   2:50: 100 => 1 : 25 : 50. If we add all the parts, we get 76 liters   So we have 1 liters of Soap, 25 liters of Alcohol and 50 liters of Water.   Now as per the Question, Soap : Water doubles but alcohol to water remains the same.   So Soap becomes 2 liters, Alcohol remains 25 liters and Water remains at 50 liters.

As a bicycle salesperson, Norman earns a fixed salary of $20 per week plus $6 per bicycle for the first six bicycles he sells, $12 per bicycle for the next six bicycles he sells, and $18 per bicycle for every bicycle sold after the first 12. This week, Norman earned more than twice as much as he did last week. If he sold c bicycles last week and y bicycles this week, which of the following statements must be true?
I. y > 2c
II. y > c
III. y > 3
Choose the most appropriate option
A) I only
B) II only
C) I and II
D) II and III
E) I, II, and III

Solution: This is kind of like doing your taxes, lets summarize the data in terms of bike sales and salary -   0 Bikes - $20   6 Bikes - $56   12 Bikes - $128   More than 12 bikes - 128 + 18*(c-12) where c is the total number of bikes sold (when c>12).   C = cycles sold last week   CS = Salary last week.   Y = cycles sole this week   YS = Salary this week.   given YS>2CS   lets test all statements with C=0;   CS = 20   YS >40   True when Y = 4   satisfies all the statements but we can only be sure of iii as Y will only increase from here. So iii must be true. Eliminate A,B,C   lets test all statements with C=1;   CS = 26   YS>52   True when Y=6   Still satisfies all the statements - Nothing achieved   lets test all statements with X=6;   CS = 56   YS>112   True when Y = 11   This proves statement i wrong, hence eliminate E so we are left with   Answer II and III
