If 40 men can make 30 boxes in 20 days, How many more men are needed to make 60 boxes in 25 days?
Choices.
A) 28
B) 24
C) 22
D) 26
E) 28

Solution: Explanation :   Given that 40 men can make 30 boxes in 20 days   Let x more men are needed to make 60 boxes in 25 days   Then (40 + x) men can make 60 boxes in 25 days   More boxes, more men(direct proportion)   More days, less men(indirect proportion)   Hence we can write as   ⇒ 30 × 25 × (40 + x) = 60 × 20 × 40   ⇒ 25 × (40 + x) = 2 × 20 × 40   ⇒ 5 × (40 + x) = 2 × 4 × 40   ⇒ (40 + x) = 2 × 4 × 8 = 64   ⇒ x = 64 − 40 = 24.

Thurston wrote an important seven-digit phone number on a napkin, but the last three numbers got smudged. Thurston remembers only that the last three digits contained at least one zero and at least one non-zero integer. If Thurston dials 40 phone numbers by using the readable digits followed by 40 different random combinations of three digits, each with at least one zero and at least one non-zero integer, what is the probability that he will dial the original number correctly?
Select: A) 1/9 B) 10/243 C) 4/27 D) 10/271 E) 1/1000000

Solution: If the last three digits have 1 zero (XX0), the total # of numbers possible is 9*9*3 (multiply by 3 since XX0 can be arranged in 3 ways: XX0, X0X, or 0XX).   If the last three digits have 2 zeros (X00), the total # of numbers possible is 9*3 (multiply by 3 since X00 can be arranged in 3 ways: X00, 00X, or X0X).   P = 40/(9*9*3+9*3) = 4/27.   Answer: 4/27.

What is the least integer greater than 0+0.5? Choose the correct choice:
A) –2
B) –1
C) 0
D) 1
E) 2

Solution: This question is just about doing careful Arithmetic and remembering what makes a numberbiggerorsmallercompared to another number.   First, let's take care of the Arithmetic:     (0) + (0.5)= 
  (0) + (0.5) = 0.5
0.5   On a number line, since we're ADDING +.5 to a number, the total moves to the RIGHT (so we're moving from 0 to 0.5).   Next, the question asks for the LEAST integer that is GREATER than 0.5   Again, we can use a number line. Numbers become greater as you move to the RIGHT. The first INTEGER to the right of 0.5 is 1.   Final Answer:   1

Mathematics, physics, and chemistry books are stored on a library shelf that can accommodate 25 books. Currently, 20% of the shelf spots remain empty. There are twice as many mathematics books as physics books and the number of physics books is 4 greater than that of the chemistry books. Ricardo selects 1 book at random from the shelf, reads it in the library, and then returns it to the shelf. Then he again chooses 1 book at random from the shelf and checks it out in order to read at home. What is the probability Ricardo reads 1 book on mathematics and 1 on chemistry?  Options.
A) 3%	B) 6%	C) 12percent	D) 20%	E) 24%

Solution: Shelf can accomodate 25 books but 20% of it is empty so there are in all 20 books.   If no of 12percenthem books = x, number of Physics book = x+4, number of Math books = 2(x+4)   x + x+4 + 2(x+4) = 4x + 12 = 20   x = 2   12percenthem books = 2, Phy books = 6, Math books = 12   Probability of picking a Math book = 12/20   Probability of picking a 12percenthem book = 2/20   Total Probability = Pick Math first and then 12percenthem + Pick 12percenthem first and then Math   = (12/20) * (2/20) + (2/20) * (12/20) = 12/100 = 12%
