My son adores chocolates. He likes biscuits. But he hates apples. I told him that he can buy as many chocolates he wishes. But then he must have biscuits twice the number of chocolates and should have apples more than biscuits and chocolates together. Each chocolate cost Re 1. The cost of apple is twice the chocolate and four biscuits are worth one apple. Then which of the following can be the amount that I spent on that evening on my son if number of chocolates, biscuits and apples brought were all integers? Choose the correct answer:
A) Rs 34	B) Rs 33	C) Rs 8	D) None of the above	E) Cannot be determined

Solution: Explanation :   Let the person buy c chocolates, 2c buiscuits. Therefore, apples is >3c.   In any case, total cost will be   =>cost of chocolates + cost of biscuits + cost of apples.   => (c*1) + [2c*0.5] + (2*something greater than 3c).   Thus, Total cost=>   => 2c + (2* something greater than 3c).   Here, the total cost is an even number. Thus ans should be an even number.   Taking c=1, the total minimum cost we get is 10.   Thus the only other option that satisfies the constraints is 34.   Rs 34nswer : Rs 34

Three is the largest number that can be divided evenly into 27 and the positive integer x, while 10 is the largest number that can be divided evenly into both 100 and x. Which of the following is the largest possible number that could be divided into x and 1200	Pick one
A) 30
B) 120
C) 210
D) 300
E) 700

Solution: 27 = 3*3*3, and its GCF with x is 3, which implies that x has ONE factor of 3, but not TWO factors of 3.   100 and x have a GCF of 10, which implies that x has ONE factor of 10, but not TWO factors of 10.   Then we want to know what is the largest possible GCF of x and 2100.   Well 1200 = 3 * 4 * 10 * 10   We want x to include as many factors in common with 2100 as possible, to make the GCF with 2100 as big as possible.   We know x has one factor of 3, but not two factors --- that takes the 3.   We know x has one factor of 10, but not two factors --- we can take one of those 10's, but we have to leave the other   No other restrictions, so we can also grab that factor of 7 --- nothing saying that we can't, and it's there for the taking.   3*4*10= 
3*4*10 = 120
120   If we allow x to include as many factors as possible, within the constraints given, that is the most x could have in common with 1200.   120

A man is walking along a numbered path. He repeats the following process of taking 10 steps forward and N steps backward. What should N be in order to guarantee at least one number along the path will be stepped on exactly 5 times. This includes a forward and backward step adding to the total. A tile must be stepped onto to count and not simply stepped off  Options:
A) 1	B) 2	C) 3	D) 5	E) 6

Solution: Assuming the man's overall direction is headed forward is forward from no answers being greater than 10   Actions:   1: 10 steps   2: 10 - N steps   3: 20 - N steps   4: 20 - 2N steps   5: 30 - 2N steps   6: 30 - 3N steps   All answers less than or equal to 5 are out since by the 4th action the number tile will be 10. Following the procedure, N=5 will making every tile less than 10 have 3 or fewer steps.   N=6 will allow the 4th action to be 8 making it the first number readily breach single digits for the starting action. This is an important thing to notice since hitting tiles reached by the first action will allow the greatest amount of countable steps.   Steps by the end of the 5th action   7: 3 steps   8: 3 steps (stepped off from)   9:5 steps   10: 4 steps   11: 3 steps   12: 3 steps   By the 6th action, the steps will be at 12 an won't making it back to any tile 1-10. Since this is repeating, inferring that after every 6 actions the process is a renewable position making tile 9 the only tile with 5 steps other than every other tile after that limiting it to 5 steps.   6 is correct

III. 17.17 Choose the correct choice from the following options:	A) I only	B) II only	C) III only	D) I and II only	E) I and III only

Solution: Problem statement was difficult to parse. but some how I managed to understand what we can do.   1) x/y = 15 + 0.15   2) x/y = 18 + 0.18   3) x/y = 17 + 0.17   w.k.t x = yn (i.e Q) + yk=60 (i.e remainder)   therefore :   1) y*0.15=60 -- we can get y an integer.   2) y*0.18=60 -- we can't get y an integer.   3) y*0.17=60 -- we can't get y an integer.   Therefore 1 are possible answers.   I onlyns I only
Answer: A
A 100-litre mixture of milk and water contains 36 litres of milk. 'x' litres of this mixture is removed and replaced with an equal quantum of water. If the process is repeated once, then the concentration of the milk stands reduced at 9%. What is the value of x?
Choose one.
A) 57.5 litres  B) 56.67 litres  C) 57.67 litres  D) 56.5 litres  E) 50 litres

Solution: Working formula ...   Initial Concentration*Initial Volume=Final Concentration*Final Volume.   Let X is the part removed from 100 lts.   36%(1-X/100)^2 = 9% * 100%   (1-x/100)^2=9/36------>(1-x/100)^2=(3/6)^2   100-X=300/6= 
300/6 = 50
50   Ans 50 litres

Answer: D
Vindy paddles her kayak upstream at w kilometers per hour, and then returns downstream the same distance at n kilometers per hour. How many kilometers upstream did she travel if she spent a total of p hours for the round trip?	Choose the correct choice:
A) wnp  B) wn/p  C) (w + n)/p  D) wnp/(w + n)  E) pm/n- pn/m

Solution: let t1 and t2 be the time taken to row upstream and downstream respectively   now,   t1=distance/speed=d/w   similarly,   t2=d/n (as same distance has to be rowed)   also,   t1+t2=p   therefore,   p=(d/w)+(d/n)   =d(w+n)/wn   d=wmn/(w+n)=wnp/(w + n)

Answer: A
A shipment of 1500 heads of cabbage, each of which was approximately the same size was purchased for $600.The day the shipment arrived 2/3 of the heads were sold, each at 25% above the cost per head.The following day the rest were sold at a price per head equal to 10% less than the price each head sold for the day before.what was the gross profit on this shipment? Choose the correct option:
A) $100	B) $115	C) $125	D) $130	E) $135

Solution: Sol:   1500 heads -> $600   1 head -> $600/1500   1 head -> $(2/5)   25% more of (2/5) -> 125/100 * 2/5 = $(1/2)   He sold   2/3*1500= 
  2/3*1500 = 1_000
1000 heads for $(1/2) per head   Total revenue by selling 1000 heads= 1000 * 1/2= 
1000 * 1/2 = 500
$500   Heads left: 500   $125ost per head: 90% of the previous price: 90/100 * 1/2= $(9/20)   Total revenue by selling 500 heads = 9/20 * 500= 
9/20 * 500 = 225
225   Total revenue after selling 1500 cabbage heads - 225+500= $725   Money spent on the purchase: $600   Profit = 725-600= 
725-600 = 125
$125   Ans: "$125
