A baseball team won 35 percent of the first 80 games it played. How many of the remaining 82 games will the team have to win in order to have won exactly 50 percent of all the games it played?
Choose the correct option
A) 36  B) 45  C) 53  D) 55  E) 81

Solution: Games won out of first 80 questions = (35/100)*80= 
(35/100)*80 = 28
28   Total Games= 80+82= 
80+82 = 162
162   Games to be won= (50/100)*162= 
(50/100)*162 = 81
81   Remaining games to be won= 81-28= 
81-28 = 53

What is the probability that a 4 person committee chosen at random from a group consisting of 6 men, 7 women, and 2 children contains exactly 1 woman?
Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 77/204 B) 56/195 C) 11/77 D) 308/1411 E) 22/832

Solution: Total possible selections = 4 out of 15 group members = 15C4   Favorable selections = 1 out of 7 women and 3 out of 8 (= 6 men + 2 children) = 7C1 * 8C3   Thus the required probability = 7C1*8C3 / 15C4 = 56/195. Thus 56/195 is the correct answer.

By selling an article at Rs.800, a shopkeeper makes a profit of 25%. At what price should he sell the article so as to make a loss of 40%?  Select
A) s.429	B) s.480	C) s.429	D) s.128	E) s.384

Solution: SP = 800   Profit = 25%   CP = (SP)*[100/(100+P)]   = 800 * [100/125]   = 640   Loss 800 *  100/125= 
800 *  100/125 = 640
640   Loss= 40% = 40% of 640 = Rs.256   SP = CP - Loss = 640 - 256   = Rs.384   Answer:s.384

729 cubes.   All the exterior cubes will have at least one face painted red.   The interior is formed by   7*7*7= 
  7*7*7 = 343
343 cubes.   The number of cubes with at least one side painted red is  729 - 343= 
 729 - 343 = 386
386 cubes   The probability that a cube has at least one side painted red is 386/729 which is about 52.9%   The answer is 52.9%.

There are two inlets and one outlet to a cistern. One of the inlets takes 5/2hours to fill up the cistern and the other inlet takes twice as much time to fill up the same cistern. Both of the inlets are turned on at 9:00 AM with the cistern completely empty, and at 10:30AM, the outlet is turned on and it takes 1 more hour to fill the cistern completely. How much time does the outlet working alone takes to empty the cistern when the cistern is full?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 2 hours
B) 2.5 hours
C) 3 hours
D) 3.5 hours
E) 4 hours

Solution: The combined inflow rate of the two inlets is 2/5 + 1/5 = 3/5 cistern/hour. Thus, working together, it takes 5/3 hours (time is reciprocal of rate) to fill the cistern.   From 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM, so in 1.5=3/2 hours, the inlet pipes will fill (time)*(rate) = 3/2*3/5 = 9/10 th of the cistern .   Then the outlet is turned on and the remaining 1/10 th of the cistern is filled in 1 hour.   Letting x to be the rate of the outlet, we would have: 3/5 - x = 1/10 --> x = 1/2 cistern/hour, which means that it takes 2 hours the outlet working alone to empty the cistern.   2 hoursnswer: 2 hours.

One side of a rectangle is 3 cm shorter than the other side. If we increase the length of each side by 1 cm, then the area of the rectangle will increase by 22 cm2. Find the lengths of all sides.	Choose the most appropriate option: A) 10 and 3 B) 7 and 10 C) 10 and 7 D) 3 and 10 E) 12 and 9

Solution: Let x be the length of the longer side x>3, then the other side's length is x−3 cm. Then the area is S1 = x(x - 3) cm2. After we increase the lengths of the sides they will become (x+1) and (x−3+1)=(x−2) cm long. Hence the area of the new rectangle will be A2=(x+1)⋅(x−2) cm2, which is 22 cm2 more than the first area. Therefore   A1+22=A2   x(x−3)+22=(x+1)(x−2)   x2−3x+22=x2+x−2x−2   2x=24   x=12. So, the sides of the rectangle are 12 cm and (12−3)=9 cm long.   So answer is 12 and 9.

A man covered a certain distance at some speed. Had he moved 3 kmph faster, he would have taken 40 minutes less. If he had moved 2 kmph slower, he would have taken 40 minutes more. The distance (in km) is:	Pick:
A) 35	B) 36 2/3	C) 37 1/2	D) 40	E) 45

Solution: Explanation:   Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.   Then,	x/y-x/y + 3=40/60 =>2y(y + 3) = 9x ....(i)   And, x/y -2-x/y =40/60 =>y(y - 2) = 3x ....(ii)   On dividing (i) by (ii), we get: x = 40.   ANSWER IS 40
Answer: D

Machine A can process 6000 envelopes in 3 hours. Machines B and C working together but independently can process the same number of envelopes in 2.5 hours. If Machines A and C working together but independently process 3000 envelopes in 1 hour, then how many hours would it take Machine B to process 7000 envelopes.
Pick.
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5
E) 60/7

Solution: You can either take the amount of work done as the same as Karishma has done or take the work done by each in the same time. I will do the latter   1. Work done in 1 hr by A is 2000 envelopes   2. Work done in 1 hr by A and C is 3000 envelopes   3. So work done in 1 hr by C is 1000 envelopes   4. Work done in 1 hr by B and C is 2400 envelopes   5. So work done in 1 hr by B is 1400 envelopes   6. So to process 7000 envelopes B will take   7000/1400= 
  7000/1400 = 5
5 hrs   So the answer is choice 5

There are 36 students in a certain geometry class. If two thirds of the students are boys and three fourths of the boys are under six feet tall, how many boys in the class are under six feet tall?  Choose the correct option.
A) 6 B) 12 C) 18 D) 24 E) 27

Solution: Total Students = 36   Two thirds of the students are boys = 2/3*36= 
2/3*36 = 24
24   Three fourths of the boys are under six feet tall= 3/4*24= 
3/4*24 = 18
18 ...   Therefore Number of boys in the class under six feet tall= 18 ... Answer C....   Alternatively... Number of boys in the class under six feet tall = 3/4 of 2/3 of Total Students = 3/4*2/3*36 = 18...   Answer 18
Answer: C
