In 1 kg mixture of iron and manganese 20% of manganese. How much iron should be added so that
the proportion of manganese becomes 10%
Select
A) 1.5 Kg	B) 2 Kg	C) .5 Kg	D) 1 Kg	E) None of these

Solution: Explanation :   By the rule of alligation, we have   Percentage concentration of   manganese in the mixture : 20 Percentage concentration of   manganese in pure iron : 0   Percentage concentration of manganese in the final mixture   10   10 - 0= 
10 - 0 = 10
10 20 - 10= 10   => Quantity of the mixture : Quantity of iron = 10 : 10 = 1 : 1   Given that Quantity of the mixture = 1 Kg   Hence Quantity of iron to be added = 1 Kg   Answer : Option 1 Kg
Answer: D
A fair white coin with sides marked heads and tails is to be tossed eight times. What is the probability that the coin will land tails side up more than five times?  Choose the correct option.
A) A)37/256  B) B)56/256  C) C)65/256  D) D)70/256  E) E)81/256

Solution: Landing on tails more than 5 times means tails has to hit 6, 7 or 8 times.   8!/6!2! = 7*4= 
7*4 = 28
28   8!/7!1!= 8   8!/8! = 1   28 + 8 + 1 8 /8= 
8 /8 = 1
1   28 + 8 + 1= 
28 + 8 + 1 = 37
37/256   ans:37/256
Answer: A
The owner of a local jewelry store hired four watchmen to guard his diamonds, but a thief still got in and stole some diamonds. On the way out, the thief met each watchman, one at a time. To each he gave 1/4 of the diamonds he had then, and 4 more besides. He escaped with 4 diamonds. How many did he steal originally?
Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 4384	B) 3384	C) 2384	D) None of these	E) Cannot be determined

Solution: Explanation :   Since, thief escaped with 4 diamonds,   Before 4th watchman, he had ( 4 + 4 ) x 4 = 32 diamonds.   Before 3rd watchman, he had (32+ 4 ) x 4 = 144 diamonds.   Before 2nd watchman, he had ( 144 + 4 ) x 4 = 592 diamonds.   Before 1st watchman, he had ( 592 + 4 ) x 4 = 2384 diamonds.   Answer : 2384

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 +5 + 4 x 5^2 + 4 x 5^3 + 4 x 5^4 + 4 x 5^5 + 4 x 5^6 + 4 x 5^7 + 4 x 5^8 + 4 x 5^9 =	Pick: A) 5^20 B) 5^18 C) 5^14 D) 5^10 E) None of above

Solution: Let's see that 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 +5 is 5^2, then: 5^2 + 4 x 5^2 becomes 5 x 5^2 that is 5^3. You follow with the next element: 5^3 + 4 x 5^3 is equal to 5 x 5^3 that is 5^4. Then is assumed right before 4 x 5^9: 5^9 + 4 x 5^9 becomes 5 x 5^9 that is 5^10. Thus, the correct answer is the option 5^10, 5^10.
Answer: D
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 equal to 15% less than the price each head sold for on the day before. What was the total gross profit on this shipment. Options.
A) $113  B) b $115  C) c $125  D) d $130  E) e $135

Solution: Purchase cost = 600/1500= 
600/1500 = 2/5 = around 0.4
$ 0.4   25% above the cost per head= (125/100)*0.4= 
(125/100)*0.4 = 0.5
$ 0.5   2/3 of the heads were sold means 2/3*1500= 
2/3*1500 = 1_000
1000 ,Selling amount for 1000 cabbage= 1000 * 0.5= 
1000 * 0.5 = 500
$ 500   Remaining were sold at a price equal to 15% less than the price each head sold for on the day before i.e , (85/100)*0.5= $ 0.425   Hence selling cost for the remaining cabbage = 500 * 0.425= 
500 * 0.425 = 212.5
$ 212.5   Total selling cost= 500 + 213= 
500 + 213 = 713
$ 713   Gross profit= $ 713 - $ 600 = $ 113   Hence $113nswer is $113.

If x and y are positive integers such that (3x + 7y) is a multiple of 11, then which of the following will be divisible by 11 ?  Choose one:
A) 4x+6y
B) x+y+4
C) X+2
D) 4X-9Y
E) Y-5

Solution: Explanation:   By hit and trial, we put x = 5 and y = 1 so that (3x + 7y) = (3 x 5 + 7 x 1) = 22, which is divisible by 11.   (4x + 6y) = ( 4 x 5 + 6 x 1) = 26, which is not divisible by 11;   (x + y + 4 ) = (5 + 1 + 4)= 
(5 + 1 + 4) = 10
10, which is not divisible by 11;   (9x + 4y)= (9 x 5 + 4 x 1) = 49, which is not divisible by 11;   (4x - 9y) = (4 x 5 - 9 x 1) = 11, which is divisible by 11.   ANSWER:4X-9Y

Rahul went to a shop and bought things worth Rs. 25, out of which 30 Paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Pick one
A) 19	B) 19.7	C) 21	D) 23	E) 24

Solution: Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25   Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax   => Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = Rs.30/100   Let the cost of the tax free items = x   Given that tax rate = 6%   ∴ (25−30/100−x)6/100 = 30/100   ⇒ 6(25 −0.3 −x) = 30   ⇒ (25 − 0.3 − x) = 5   ⇒ x = 25 − 0.3 − 5 = 19.7   19.7

Train C and D, 455 miles apart, are traveling toward each other at constant rates and in the same time zone. If train C left at 4 pm traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour, and train D left at 5:45 pm and traveling at 45 miles per hour, then at what time would they pass each other?	Choose the correct option:
A) 9:05 pm B) 9:06 pm C) 9:07 pm D) 9:08 pm E) 9:09 pm

Solution: First, since C has a headstart then in that 1hr45min or 1.75hrs he travels 105 miles   Then remaining distance to be traveled will be   455 - 105= 
  455 - 105 = 350
350 miles   Now, using relative rates (105)(t)= 350   This gives 10/3 hours   Now 5.45pm + 10/3 hours gives us 9.05pm   Hence answer is 9:05 pm

Answer: E
The integer K is positive, but less than 400. If 21K is a multiple of 180, how many unique prime factors does K have?  Choose one.
A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 E) 5

Solution: Also note here the relevance of 'K must be less than 400'.   21K is 180n (a multiple of 180).   180n = 2^2 * 3^2 * 5 * n = 3*7*K   n must have a 7 at least.   K must have two 2s, a 3 and a 5 at least. This means it must be at least   2*2*3*5= 
  2*2*3*5 = 60
60.   So K has the following prime factors: 2, 3 and 5. Can it have any other prime factors? The next smallest prime factor is 7. But   60*7= 
  60*7 = 420
420 - a number greater than 400. This means that if K is greater than 60, the only other prime factors that K can have must be out of 2, 3 and 5 only. That is, K may be 60*2 or 60*3*2 or 60*5 etc. This tells us that K has exactly 3 prime factors. If we did not have this condition of K less than 400, we would not know exactly how many factors K has.   Answer (3)
Answer: C
If f(x)=x^2 and x is a natural number, what CANNOT be the solution to f(f(f(x)))?	Choose the correct choice
A) 16384  B) 65536  C) 6561  D) 256  E) 1

Solution: 16384nswer 16384 is equal to 4^7 and cannot be a solution because f(f(f(x)) is equivalent to x^8 and 4^7 cannot equal to anything to the power of 8.
Answer: A
The speed of a boat in still water in 22 km/hr and the rate of current is 4 km/hr. The distance travelled downstream in 24 minutes is: Pick one.
A) 9.4 km  B) 10.2 km  C) 10.4 km  D) 9.2 km  E) None of these

Solution: Explanation :   Speed downstream = (22 + 4)= 
(22 + 4) = 26
26 kmph   Time= 24 minutes = 24/60 hour = 2/5 hour   distance travelled = Time × speed = (2/5)×26 = 10.4 km. Answer : Option 10.4 km
Answer: C
Pumps A, B, and C operate at their respective constant rates. Pumps A and B, operating simultaneously, can fill a certain tank in 1/2 hours; pumps A and C, operating simultaneously, can fill the tank in 1/2 hours; and pumps B and C, operating simultaneously, can fill the tank in 2 hours. How many hours does it take pumps A, B, and C, operating simultaneously, to fill the tank. Pick one:
A) 1/3 B) 1/2 C) 1/4 D) 1 E) 5/6

Solution: A+B =1/2 ; A+C =1/2 ,B+C =2 ; ADD TH5/6N 2*(A+B+C) = 3   A+B+C = 3/2 HRS   5/6
Answer: E
A full stationary oil tank that is a right circular cylinder has a radius of 100 feet and a height of 25 feet. Oil is pumped from the stationary tank to an oil truck that has a tank that is a right circular cylinder until the truck's tank is completely filled. If the truck's tank has a radius of 4 feet and a height of 10 feet, how far (in feet) did the oil level drop in the stationary tank? Choose the correct choice from the following
A) 1.6
B) 1
C) 0.4
D) 0.16
E) 0.016

Solution: The volume of oil pumped to the tank = The volume of oil taken away from stationary cylinder.   pi*16*10 = pi*h*100*100 (h is distance that the oil level dropped)   h = 160/10,000 = 16/1000= 
16/1000 = 2/125 = around 0.016
0.016 ft   The answer is 0.016.

each interior angle of a regular polygon is 120 degrees greator than each exterior angle.how many sides are there in the polygon
Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 6  B) 8  C) 12  D) 16  E) 18
