A) 1.0
B) 1.5
C) 2.0
D) 2.5
E) 3.0

Solution: This is a good question to understand the difference between mean and median.   Mean: Average of all the numbers. (Sum of all the elements divided by the number of elements)   Median: Arrange the elements of the set in increasing order. If the number of terms is odd, the middle term is the median. If the number of terms is even, the average of middle two terms is the median   Coming to this question,   Mean = (1 + 7 + 18 + 20 + 29 + 33)/6= 
(1 + 7 + 18 + 20 + 29 + 33)/6 = 18
18   Median= (18 + 20)/2= 
(18 + 20)/2 = 19

A jogger running at 9 km/hr along side a railway track is 240 m ahead of the engine of a 140 m long train running at 45 km/hr in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger? Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 28 sec	B) 16 sec	C) 38 sec	D) 18 sec	E) 17 sec

Solution: Speed of train relative to jogger = 45 - 9= 
45 - 9 = 36
36 km/hr.= 36 * 5/18= 
36 * 5/18 = 10
10 m/sec.   Distance to be covered= 240 + 140= 
240 + 140 = 380
380 m.   Time taken= 380/10= 
380/10 = 38

In a certain state, the ratio of registered Republicans to registered Democrats is 3 to 2, and every registered voter is either a Republican or a Democrat. If 80 percent of the Republicans and 25 percent of the Democrats are expected to vote for Candidate X, and everyone else is expected to vote for Candidate Y, by what percent is Candidate X expected to win the election?
Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 2%
B) 5%
C) 16%
D) 20%
E) 25%

Solution: Since we were expected to find a percentage figure - It thought that it might be easier to pick a 'smart number' to represent the total number of voters (republicans and democrats). Therefore, I picked 100 (as the total number of voters) and thus 30:20 represents the number ratio of Republicans:Democrats. If 80% of Republicans (which is (60*0.8)= 
(60*0.8) = 48
48) and 25% of Democrats (40*0.25= 10) voted for candidate X, means that out of total of 100 voters; 58 (48 + 10) voters voted for candidate X and 42 voted for candidate Y. Thus we can infer that candidate X is expected to win the election by 16 (58-42) votes. Therefore candidate X is expected to win the election by (16/100) votes which is equivalent to 16%.   I think the answer is 16%.
Answer: C
A box contains 3 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If two marbles are drawn at random, what is the probability that at least one is green?	Choices
A) 23/35 B) 23/38 C) 23/29 D) 23/12 E) 23/11

Solution: Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles.   Probability that at least one green marble can be picked in the random draw of two marbles = Probability that one is green + Probability that both are green   = (⁶C₁ * ⁹C₁)/¹⁵C₂ + ⁶C₂/¹⁵C₂   = (6 * 9 * 2)/(15 * 14) + (6 * 5)/(15 * 14) = 36/70 + 1/7   = 46/70 = 23/35   23/35nswer:23/35

In how many years Rs 160 will produce the same interest at 8% as Rs. 500 produce in 4 years at 8% Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 13
B) 13.5
C) 11.5
D) 12.5
E) 12

Solution: Explanation:   Clue:   Firstly we need to calculate the SI with prinical 500,Time 4 years and Rate 8%, it will be Rs. 160   Then we can get the Time as   Time = (100*160)/(160*8)= 
(100*160)/(160*8) = 25/2 = around 12.5

Answer: D
Revenues were recorded for Store A and Store B over a period of three months. In the first month, Store A's revenues were $40,000 higher than Store B's revenues. In the second month, Store A's revenues were $10,000 higher than Store B's revenues. If Store A's average (arithmetic mean) monthly revenue for the three months was $2,000 greater than Store B's average monthly revenue, then Store B's revenue in the third month was how much greater than Store A's revenue?	Choose the most appropriate option
A) $14,000 B) $15,000 C) $44,000 D) $46,000 E) $50,000

Solution: Answer: CIt may be tempting to come up with a lot of variables, one each for each month's revenue for each company. However, focus on the differences. In the first month, the difference was +40 in favor of A. (Note that we can drop the thousands since every number in the question is in terms of thousands.) In the second, the difference was +10 in favor of A. The average was +2 in favor of A. With these numbers, use the average formula to find the third month (T):   (40 + 10 + T)/3 = 2   50 + T = 6   T = -44   Since positive numbers indicate a difference in favor of A, negative numbers are in favor of B. -44 represents a $44,000 advantage in favor of Store B. $44,000hoice ($44,000) is correct.
