The ratio of two quantities is 2 : 3. If each of the quantities is increased by 6, what is the ratio of the new quantities?	Select: A) 2 : 3 B) 6 : 7 C) 8 : 9 D) 8 : 3 E) It cannot be determined from the information given

Solution: let quantities are 2x and 3x   ratio of quantities after each is increased by 6 = (2x+6)/(3x+6)   For x = 1, (2x+6)/(3x+6) = 8/9   For x = 2, (2x+6)/(3x+6) = 10/12   The value of final expression is dependent on the value of x which can't be determined as per given information. Hence, The answer can not be determined   Answer: Option It cannot be determined from the information given

If $1000,000 is invested at x percent simple annual interest for n years, which of the following represents the total amount of interest, in dollars, that will be earned by this investment in the n years?  Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 10,000(x^n)
B) 10,000(x/100)^n
C) 10,000n(x/100)
D) 1,000,000n(x/100)
E) 10,000n(1+x/100)

Solution: I think answer 1,000,000n(x/100) is for compound interest (which i assumed)   and answer 1,000,000n(x/100) is for simple interest because it is not compounding.

Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 9 a.m.  B) 10 a.m.  C) 10.30 a.m.  D) 11 a.m.  E) 11.30 a.m

Solution: Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m.   Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km.   Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km.   Therefore 20x + 25(x - 1) = 110   => 45x = 135   => x = 3.   So, they meet at 10 a.m.   Answer: Option 10 a.m.

A miniature roulette wheel is divided into 9 equal sectors, each bearing a distinct integer from 1 to 9, inclusive. Each time the wheel is spun, a ball randomly determines the winning sector by settling in that sector. If the wheel is spun three times, approximately what is the probability that the product of the three winning sectors’ integers will be even?	Pick.
A) 50%	B) 67%	C) 83%	D) 90%	E) 96%

Solution: The only way to have an odd product is if all 3 integers are odd.   P(odd product) = 5/9*5/9*5/9 = 125/729   P(even product) = 1 - 125/729 = 604/729 which is about 83%   The answer is 83%.

A password for a computer is six digits from 0 and 9. The six digit number is a prime number. What is the approximate probability that the last digit is a 3?	Choose one.
A) 1/4
B) 1/6
C) 1/10
D) 1/20
E) 1/50

Solution: If the last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, the number is even and therefore not prime. If the last digit is 5, the number is divisible by 5 and therefore not prime. The only possibilities are 1, 3, 7, and 9. So the probability is approximately 1/4 (answer A). We say approximately because there is a certain degree of randomness in the distribution of prime numbers.

There are 35 students in a hostel. If the no. of students increases by 5, the expenses of the mess increase by Rs.42/day while the average expenditure per head diminishes by Rs1. Find the original expenditure of the mess? Choose the correct choice.
A) s. 64.80
B) s. 69.80
C) s. 72.80
D) s. 78.80
E) s. 79.80

Solution: Suppose the average join the mess , total expenditure = 35x + 42   Now, the average expenditure = (35x + 42)/ (35 + 5) = x – 1   or, 35x + 42 = 40x – 40   or, x = 16.4   Thus the original expenditure of the mess = 35 x 16.4=574   Therefore x-1 = 15.4   hence 42 x 15.4 =646.80   646.80 - 574 = Rs. 72.80   s. 72.80

When the price of an article was reduced by 20% its sale increased by 80%. What was the net effect on the sale?  Answers:  A) 44% increase  B) 44% decrease  C) 60% increase  D) 66% increase  E) 66% decrease

Solution: if n items are sold for $p each, revenue is $np. If we reduce the price by 20%, the new price is 0.8p. If we increase the number sold by 80%, the new number sold is 1.8n. So the new revenue is (0.8p)(1.8n) = 1.44np, which is 1.44 times the old revenue, so is 44% greater.   44% increaseNSWER:44% increase

A whale goes on a feeding frenzy that lasts for 9 hours. For the first hour he catches and eats x kilos of plankton. In every hour after the first, it consumes 3 kilos of plankton more than it consumed in the previous hour. If by the end of the frenzy the whale will have consumed a whopping accumulated total 360 kilos of plankton, how many kilos did he consume on the sixth hour?
Choose the correct option:
A) 38 B) 43 C) 50 D) 53 E) 62

Solution: If you list the amount eaten each hour, you'll get an equally spaced list, increasing by 3 each hour. In any equally spaced list, the median equals the mean. Here, the mean is  360/9= 
 360/9 = 40
40, so the median is also 40, and that is the amount eaten in the 5th hour. We need to add 3 to find the total eaten in the next hour, so the answer is 43.   option 43

Obra drove 120π meters along a circular track. If the area enclosed by the circular track on which she drove is 57,600π square meters, what percentage of the circular track did Obra drive?	Choose the correct option.
A) 6.67%	B) 12.5%	C) 18.75%	D) 25%	E) 33.3%

Solution: area enclosed by the circular track on which she drove is 57,600π square meters   So, π(r^2) = 57,600π ---> (r^2)=57,600 ---> r=240   Circumference of the circular track = 2πr = 480π   Therefore, part of circumference covered = 120π/480π =25%   Hence, answer is 25%.
Answer: D
Difference of two numbers is 1650. If 7.5% of the number is 12.5% of the other number , find the number ?  Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 2660, 1000  B) 3660, 2000  C) 3000, 4160  D) 2490, 4150  E) 2475, 4125

Solution: Let the numbers be x and y. Then, 7.5 % of x =12.5% of y   X = 125*y/75 = 5*y/3.   Now, x-y =1650   5*y/3 –y =1650   2*y/3= 1650   y =[ (1650*3)/2= 
(1650*3)/2 = 2_475
2475.   One number= 2475, Second number =5*y/3 =4125.   Answer 2475, 4125.
