Randy'sbar serves customers every weeknight from 5 pm to 1 am. In Randy's bar,Silvermoonbeer is sold at a constant rate except during happy hour, from 6:30 to 9:30 pm, when the rate triples.
If a keg of Silvermoon beer is half empty at 5pm on Monday, and two-thirds empty at the beginning of the happy hour, when will it be completely empty? Pick one
A) Monday, 7:30 pm	B) Monday, 9 pm	C) Monday, 7 pm	D) Monday, 6:45 pm	E) Monday, 9:30 pm

Solution: Let the keg be a 150 Litre keg   At 5 pm.. There are 75 litres   At 6:30 pm there are 50 litres.   So, consumption rate is 25 litres per 1.5 hours.   So it will take 3 hours to finish 50 litres at this rate.   During happy hour it sells 3 times faster. So, rate = 1 hour per 50 litres.   So, keg becomes empty at 6:30 + 1 hour = 9:30 pm   Answer is Monday, 9:30 pm.

The sides of a rectangular field are in the ratio 3 : 4. If the area of the field is 10800 sq. m, the cost of fencing the field @ 25 paise per metre is Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) Rs. 55.50	B) Rs. 67.50	C) Rs. 86.50	D) Rs. 105.00	E) None of these

Solution: Solution   Let length = (3x) metres and breadth = (4x) metres.   Then, 3x × 4x = 10800 ⇔ 12x2 = 10800 ⇔ x2 =900 ⇔ x = 30.   So, length = 90 m and breadth = 120 m.   Perimeter = [2(90 + 120)] m = 420 m.   ∴ Cost of fencing = Rs. (0.25 × 420) = Rs. 105.00. Answer Rs. 105.00

In Town X, 64 percent of the population are employed, and 49 percent of the population are employed males. What percent of the employed people in Town X are females? Pick one: A) 16% B) 20% C) 32% D) 40% E) 52%

Solution: answer b   male-employed - 64%   female-employed-15%   Total employed 64%   means total unemployed = 36%   therefore d and e are not correct because female unemployed has to be less than 36%   female-unemployed = 32% male unemployed = 4%   48% + 4% = 52%   16% + 32%  48  + 4= 
 48  + 4 = 52
52%   16% + 32% = 48%   plug in a and b in place of 32% and the sum is not 100%   15/64  16  + 32= 
 16  + 32 = 48
48%   plug in a and b in place of 32% and the sum is not 100%   15/64=20 20%

Line Q has the equation 5y – 3x = 15. If Line S is perpendicular to Q, has an integer for its y-intercept, and intersects Q in the second quadrant, then how many possible Line S’s exist? (Note: Intersections on one of the axes do not count.)  Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 9  B) 11  C) 13  D) 15  E) 17

Solution: 5y - 3x = 15 and so y = 3x/5 + 3   When x = 0, then y = 3.   When y = 0, then x = -5   The slope is 3/5, so the slope of line S is -5/3.   Through the point (-5, 0), 0 = -5(-5)/3 + c   The y-intercept is c = -25/3 < -8.   Thus the perpendicular line S can have y-intercepts from -8 up to 2.   The number of possible lines is   8 + 2 + 1= 
  8 + 2 + 1 = 11

Rectangular Floors X and Y have equal area. If Floor X is 16 feet by 18 feet and Floor Y is 9 feet wide, what is the length of Floor Y, in feet?	Answers: A) 13 1/2 B) 18 C) 18 3/4 D) 21 E) 32

Solution: The area of a rectangle is: Area = length x width   We are given that floor X is 16 feet by 18 feet and that floor Y is 9 feet wide. So we can say:   length of X = 16   width of X = 18   width of Y = 9   length of Y = n   We also can say:   Area of Floor X = Area of Floor Y   (length of X)(width of X) = (length of Y)(width of Y)   (16)(18) = 9n   (16)(2) = n   32 = n   Answer 32.

A solid yellow stripe is to be painted in the middle of a certain highway. If 1 gallon of paint covers an area of w square feet of highway, how many gallons of paint will be needed to paint a stripe of t inches wide on a stretch of highway m miles long? (1 mile = 5,280 feet and 1 foot = 12 inches) Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) (5,280 mt) / 12 w
B) (5,280 pt) / 12m
C) (5,280 pmt) /12
D) (5,280)(12m) / pt
E) (5,280)(12p) / mt

Solution: Given that: 1 gallon of paint covers an area ofwsquare feet. Question:how many gallonsof paint will be needed ...   In any case you will have:(total area in square feet)/(gallons per feet)=(total area in square feet)/w, so w must be in the denominator: eliminate all but A and D.   Now, lets see where should be t: (area in square feet)=(width in feet)*(length in feet) --> width=tinchesas1 feet=12 inchesthent inches=t/12 feet, so (area in square feet)=(t/12) * (length in feet), so t must be in the nominator: only A is left.   (5,280 mt) / 12 wnswer: (5,280 mt) / 12 w.

In the Land of Oz only one or two-letter words are used. The local language has 68 different letters. The parliament decided to forbid the use of the seventh letter. How many words have the people of Oz lost because of the prohibition?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 65  B) 66  C) 67  D) 131  E) 136

Solution: The answer to the question is indeed E. The problem with above solutions is that they do not consider words like AA, BB, ...   The number of 1 letter words (X) that can be made from 68 letters is 68;   The number of 2 letter words (XX) that can be made from 68 letters is 68*68, since each X can take 68 values.   Total: 68+68*68.   Similarly:   The number of 1 letter words (X) that can be made from 67 letters is 67;   The number of 2 letter words (XX) that can be made from 67 letters is 67*67, since each X can take 67 values.   Total: 67+67*67.   The difference is (68+68*68)-(67+67*67)= 
(68+68*68)-(67+67*67) = 136

Solution: If X, Y, and Z are consecutive numbers and X > Y > Z, then Y = Z+1 and X = Z+2.   2X + 3Y + 3Z = 5Y + 8   2Z+4+3Z+3+3Z = 5Z+5+8   3Z = 6   Z = 2   The answer is 2.
Answer: A
A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?	Answers:
A) 248 B) 289 C) 240 D) 242 E) 229

Solution: Speed = [54 * 5/18] m/sec   = 15 m/sec.   Length of the train   = (15 * 20)= 
(15 * 20) = 300
300 m.   Let the length of the platform be x meters.   Then, x + 300 / 36= 15   x + 300 = 540   x = 240 m.   Answer: 240
Answer: C
A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 sec. What is the length of the train?  Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 2287
B) 27
C) 299
D) 287
E) 150

Solution: Speed = 60 * 5/18 = 50/3 m/sec   Length of the train = speed * time = 50/3 * 9= 
50/3 * 9 = 150
150 m   Answer: 150

Answer: C
Three grades of milk are 1 percent, 3 percent and 2 percent fat by volume. If x gallons of the 1 percent grade, y gallons of the 2 percent grade, and z gallons of the 3 percent grade are mixed to give x+y+z gallons of a 1.5 percent grade, what is x in terms of y and z?  Select.
A) y + 3z
B) (y +z) / 4
C) 2y + 3z
D) 3y + z
E) 3y + 4.5z

Solution: Soln:   The resulting equation is   => (.01x + .03y + .02z)/(x+y+z) = 1.5/100   => x + 3y +2z = 1.5x + 1.5y + 1.5z   taking x to one side and y and z to other side we get   => x = 3y + z   Ans is 3y + z
Answer: D
Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $165. If she gets paid every other week, write an integer describing how the raise will affect her paycheck. Choose the correct choice from the following:	A) $ 165.	B) $ 146	C) $ 147	D) $ 148	E) None

Solution: Solution:   Let the 1st paycheck be x (integer).   Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $ 165.   So after completing the 1st week she will get $ (x+165).   Similarly after completing the 2nd week she will get $ (x + 165) + $ 165.   = $ (x + 165 + 165)   = $ (x + 330)   So in this way end of every week her salary will increase by $ 165.   $ 165.nswer $ 165.
Answer: A
C individuals pledged to pay equal contributions so that a charity’s goal of $x could be reached. If d of the contributors failed to pay their share, which of the following represents the additional number of dollars that each of the remaining individuals would have to pay in order to allow the charity to reach its goal?
Pick:  A) dx / C  B) x / (C-d)  C) d / (C-dx)  D) x / (C(C-d))  E) dx / (C(C-d))

Solution: Number of individuals = C   Amount paid by each individual = n   Total expected amount = Charity's goal = nC = x   n = x/C   Number of individuals who fail to pay = d   Contribution from individuals who would fail to pay = dx/C --> Additional amount   Number of individuals who are paying = C - d   Additional amount has to be divided among the (C - d) individuals --> dx/C(C - d)   Answer: dx / (C(C-d))
Answer: E
A train 200 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:	Select:	A) 49	B) 50	C) 12	D) 13	E) 77

Solution: Speed of the train relative to man = (200/10) m/sec = (20) m/sec. [(20) * (18/5)] km/hr = 72 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 72 ==> x = 77 km/hr.   Answer: Option 77
Answer: E
