Answer: C
A certain Social Security recipient will receive an annual benefit of $12,000 provided he has annual earnings of $9,360 or less, but the benefit will be reduced by $1 for every $3 of annual earnings over $9,360. What amount of total annual earnings would result in a 55 percent reduction in the recipient's annual Social Security benefit? (Assume Social Security benefits are not counted as part of annual earnings.)
Pick one:  A) $15,360  B) $17,360  C) $25,560  D) $21,360  E) $27,360

Solution: For every $3 earn above $9360, the recipient loses $1 of benefit.   OR   For every $1 loss in the benefit, the recipient earns $3 above $9360   If earning is; 9360+3x   Benefit = 12000-x   Or the vice versa   If benefit is 12000-x, the earning becomes 9360+3x   He lost 50% of the benefit;   Benefit Received= 12000-0.55*12000 = 12000-6600= 
12000-6600 = 5_400
5400   Earning becomes 9360+3x=9360+3*5400= 
9360+3*5400 = 25_560

Answer: C
x and y are positive integers of T. If 1/x + 1/y < 2, which of the following must be true?	Choose the most appropriate option
A) x + y > 4
B) xy>1
C) x/y + y/x < 1
D) (x - y)^2 > 0
E) None of the above

Solution: Answer is B:   1/X + 1/Y < 2   The maximum value of 1/X is 1 because if X equals any other number greater than one it will be a fraction. The same is true with 1/Y.   So 1/X and 1/Y will always be less than 2 as long as both X and Y are not both equal to one at the same time.   Another way of putting it is:   X*Y>1.xy>1

A, B and C work on a task. To complete the task alone, B takes twice the time that A would take to complete the task alone and 1/4rd the time that C would take to complete the task alone. If B actually worked for half the number of days that A worked and 3/2 times the number of days that C worked, what proportion of the total work was completed by B?
Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 1/3  B) 2/9  C) 9/49  D) 16/81  E) 1/6

Solution: The first thing to notice is that A is faster than B and B is faster than C.   Since work is proportional to time, in 1 day lets say if A does 2 works, B does 1 work and C does 2/3rd of a work.   If A works for 2 days, B works for 1 day and C works for only 2/3 of the day.   Therefore total work done = (2*2) + (1*1) + (1/4*1/4) = 81/16   Proportion of work done by B = (1*1) / (81/16) = 16/81   Hence Answer 16/81.

II. The sum of the factors of N is odd.
III. The number of distinct prime factors of N is even. Answers
A) I only
B) II only
C) I and II
D) I and III
E) I, II and III

Solution: SOLN:   1. The number of distinct factors of a perfect square is ALWAYS ODD.   2. The sum of distinct factors of a perfect square is ALWAYS ODD.   3. A perfect square ALWAYS has an ODD number of Odd-factors, and EVEN number of Even-factors.   4. Perfect square always has even powers of its prime factors.   So I and II must be true.   ANSWER:I and II

Two vessels P and Q contain 62.5% and 87.5% of alcohol respectively. If 2 litres from vessel P is mixed with 4 litres from vessel Q, the ratio of alcohol and water in the resulting mixture is? Choose the correct answer
A) 19:2 B) 18:3 C) 19:1 D) 19:5 E) 19:4

Solution: Quantity of alcohol in vessel P = 62.5/100 * 2 = 5/4 litres   Quantity of alcohol in vessel Q = 87.5/100 * 4 = 7/2 litres   Quantity of alcohol in the mixture formed = 5/4 + 7/2 = 19/4= 
19/4 = 19/4 = around 4.75
4.75 litres   As 6 litres of mixture is formed, ratio of alcohol and water in the mixture formed= 4.75 : 1.25 = 19 : 5.   Answer:19:5

How many integers are between 5 and 96/7, inclusive?
Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 7	B) 9	C) 10	D) 12	E) 15

Solution: 96/7 = 13.xx   We are not concerned about the exact value of 96/7 as we just need the integers.   Since the values are small, we can write down the integers.   The different integers between 5 and 96/7 would be 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,13   Total number of integers = 9   Option 9

How many zeroes are there at the end of the number N, if N = 60! + 120! ? Choices: A) 12 B) 14 C) 16 D) 18 E) 20

Solution: The number of zeroes at the end of 60! will be less than the number of zeroes at the end of 120!   Hence it is sufficient to calculate the number of zeroes at the end of 60!   The number of zeroes = [60/5] + [60/25] + [60/125] = 12 + 2 + 0= 
12 + 2 + 0 = 14

35 * 40 = 1_400
1400   Sum of the marks for the class of 45 students= 45 * 60= 
45 * 60 = 2_700
2700   Sum of the marks for the class of 80 students=   1400 + 2700= 
1400 + 2700 = 4_100
4100   Average marks of all the students= 4100/80 = 51.2.Answer: 51.2
Answer: D
A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of
5 : 2 : 4 : 3. If C gets Rs. 2000 more than D, what is B's share?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers:  A) Rs. 500  B) Rs. 1000  C) Rs. 4000  D) Rs. 2000  E) NOne

Solution: Sol.   Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively.   Then, 4x - 3x = 2000 ⇔ x = 2000.   ∴ B's share = Rs. 2x= Rs. (2x2000) = Rs. 4000.   Answer Rs. 4000

If a(a - 8) = 9 and b(b -8) = 9, where a ≠ b, then a + b =  Choose the most appropriate option.
A) −48
B) −2
C) 8
D) 9
E) 48

Solution: i.e. if a = -1 then b = 9   or if a =9 then b = -1   But in each case a+b = -1+9= 
-1+9 = 8
8   Answer: option 8
Answer: C
Mary decided to save a certain amount of her monthly salary each month and her salary was unchanged from month to month. If Mary's savings by the end of the year from these monthly savings were FOUR times the amount she spent per month, what should be the fraction of her salary that she spent each month? Select the correct option:
A) 1/4  B) 3/4  C) 1/2  D) 1  E) 5/4

Solution: Saving = S, Expenditure = E, Income = I   At the end of 12months; 12S=4E=4(I-S)   => 16S = 4I => Savings = 1/4 I   Hence Expenditure = 1-(1/4) = 3/4 I   Answer (3/4)
Answer: B
A tourist purchased a total of $2,000 worth of traveler’s checks in $10 and $50 denominations, During the trip the tourist cashed 7 checks and then lost all of the rest. If the number of $10 checks cashed was one more or one less than the number of $50 checks cashed, what is the minimum possible value of the checks that were lost?	Choices:	A) $1,430	B) $1,310	C) $1,290	D) $1,770	E) $1,150

Solution: Let the number of $10 checks cashed beT   Let the number of $50 checks cashed beF   7 checks cashed;   T+F=7   Now; T can be F+1 OR T can be F-1   Let's check both conditions;   T=F+1   T+F=7   F+1+F=7   2F=6   F=3   T=4   Value cashed = 3*50+4*10=150+40= 
150+40 = 190
$190   Let's check the other condition as well;   T=F-1   T+F=7   F-1+F=7   2F=8   F=4   T=3   Value cashed = 4*50+3*10=200+30= 
200+30 = 230
$230   The more money he cashes, the less loss he incurs. Thus, we must consider the latter case.   Value cashed= $230   Value lost = 2000-230= 
2000-230 = 1_770
$1770   Ans:$1,770
Answer: D

Answer: A
In the city of San Durango, 60 people own cats, dogs, or rabbits. If 30 people owned cats, 40 owned dogs, 10 owned rabbits, and 8 owned exactly two of the three types of pet, how many people owned all three?
Choose one:
A) 2
B) 4
C) 6
D) 12
E) 32

Solution: You are considering a case when cat dogs and rabbit are not exactly equal to 12 .   The solution shall be 60=30+40+10-8-2x   and hence x shall be 6   Answer 6
Answer: C
A man travels 100km by train at 60km/hr, 200km by ship at 20km/hr, 300km by aeroplane at 100km/hr and 100km by car at 50km/hr. What is the average speed for the entire distance?
Choices:
A) 35.3km/hr
B) 42km/hr
C) 48.9km/hr
D) 52.6km/hr
E) 27.6km/hr

Solution: Total distance traveled = 100+200+300+100= 
100+200+300+100 = 700
700km   Total time taken= 100/60 + 200/20 + 300/100 + 100/50 = 16.67 hrs   Average speed = 700/16.67 = 42km/hr approximately ;   Answer is 42km/hr
Answer: B
It is being given that (5^32+1) is completely divisible by a whole number. Which of the following numbers is completely divisible by this number? Answers:
A) 5^16+1
B) 5^16-1
C) 7*5^33
D) 5^96+1
E) None

Solution: Solution: Let 5^32=x.   Then (5^32+1)=(x+1). Let (x+1) be completely divisible by the whole number Y.   then (5^96+1)=[(5^32)^3+1]=>(x^3+1)=(x+1)(x^2-x+1) which is completely divisible by Y.   since (x+1) is divisible by Y.   Answer 5^96+1
Answer: D
For any positive integer n, the sum of the first n positive integers equals n(n+1)/2. What is the sum of all the even integers between 99 and 301?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:	A) 10,100	B) 20,200	C) 22,650	D) 40,200	E) 45,150

Solution: Firstly calculate the number of even integers between 99 and 301:   No of even integers = (300 - 100)/2 + 1= 
(300 - 100)/2 + 1 = 101
101   Avg of the even integers is  (100+300)/2= 
 (100+300)/2 = 200
200.   The sum would be= no of even integers * Avg.   ==> 101*202 = 20,200   Answer 20,200.
Answer: B
