There is certain numbers of toys in the box. They are divided into such a way that the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average. Find the number of people amongst whom the toys are distributed?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 8
B) 10
C) 12
D) 9

When the price of an article was reduced by 25% its sale increased by 80%. What was the net effect on the sale?
Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 35% 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 25%, the new price is 0.75p. If we increase the number sold by 80%, the new number sold is 1.8n. So the new revenue is (0.75p)(1.8n) = 1.35np, which is 1.35 times the old revenue, so is 35% greater.   35% increaseNSWER:35% increase

The figure above shows the dimensions of a semicircular cross section of a one-way tunnel. The single traffic lane is 12 feet wide and is equidistant from the sides of the tunnel. If vehicles must clear the top of the tunnel by at least ½ foot when they are inside the traffic lane, what should be the limit Y on the height of vehicles that are allowed to use the tunnel?	Choose the correct answer:
A) 5½ ft
B) 7½ ft
C) 8 ½ ft
D) 9½ ft
E) 10 ft

Solution: Let's label the midpoint of the circle O. Since the base of the semi-circle is 20, we know that the diameter is 20 and, accordingly, the radius is 10.   We also know that the traffic lane is 12 feet long and there's an equal amount of space on either side, so the traffic lane extends 6 feet on either side of O. Let's call the leftmost point on the base of the traffic lane A. So, the distance OA is 6.   Now draw a line straight up from A to the top of the tunnel. Let's label the point at which the line intersects the circle B. The answer to the question will, therefore, be the height AB - .5 feet (we need to leave .5 feet of clearance).   Here's the key to solving the question: if we draw a line from O to B, that line is a radius of the circle and, therefore, has length 10. We now have right triangle OAB (the right angle is at point A), with leg OA=6 and hypotenuse OB=10. We can now solve for leg AB=8 (either by applying the pythagorean theorum or by applying the 3/4/5 special right triangle ratio).   Finally: AB=8, so the correct answer YBis 8 - .5 = 7.5... choose (7½ ft)!   From a strategic guessing point of view, as soon as we realize that the height of the tunnel is 10 in the middle, we should quickly eliminate (D) and (E) as too big; worse case you have a 1/3 shot at picking up the points.7½ ft

A car drives 90 miles on local roads at 30 mph, and 75 miles on the highway at 60 mph, what is the average speed of the entire trip?  Answers:
A) 36 mph
B) 40 mph
C) 39 mph
D) 42 mph
E) 38 mph

Solution: So The Answer is Plainly C....   we have a general relation for speed , time and distance : v (velocity) * t ( time)= d (distance)   for first part we have d=90 miles , and v= 30 mph so we can obtain time : 30*t = 90 Or t= 90/30= 
90/30 = 3
3 hours the needed time to cover 90 miles   in the same way we should divide 75 to 60 to find the needed time to cover 75 miles ,so t= 1.25 hours   so the total time for covering total distance would be  3+1.25= 
 3+1.25 = 4.25
4.25 hours and total distance is   90+75= 
  90+75 = 165
165 miles   Final stage : average speed is total distance divide to total time : 165/4.25= 38.8 miles per hour rounded up to 39 MPH....

The price of gasoline in the area where the Smith family lives is scheduled to increase by 5% next year. Since the Smith family cannot afford an increase in their fuel bill, how much will they have to reduce consumption to keep their cost the same?  Select the correct option:
A) 6.14%	B) None	C) 5%	D) 2.45%	E) 4.76%

Solution: Solution: Let the current fuel expense be represented by Rs. 100.   The cost of gasoline rises 5%. So, to buy same amount of fuel, they need to increase their expense,   = (100 + 5% of 100) = Rs. 105.   But, they want to keep fuel expense the same, so they have to cut Rs. by 5 to keep it to Rs. =100.   The % decrease in consumption is,   (5/105)*100 = 4.76%.   Mental Calculation Method;   100-----5%↑---→105------X%↓---→100.   Here, X = (5/105)*100 = 4.76%.   Answer: Option 4.76%

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'CORPORATMON' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?
Choices:
A) 40000
B) 50000
C) 50400
D) 50700
E) 60000

Solution: The word 'CORPORATMON' has 11 letters. It has the vowels 'O','O','A','M','O' in it and   these 5 vowels should always come together. Hence these 5 vowels can be grouped   and considered as a single letter. that is, CRPRTN(OOAMO).   Hence we can assume total letters as 7. But in these 7 letters, 'R' occurs 2 times and   rest of the letters are different.   Number of ways to arrange these letters = 7!2! = (7×6×5×4×3×2×1)/(2×1) = 2520   In the 5 vowels (OOAMO), 'O' occurs 3 and rest of the vowels are different.   Number of ways to arrange these vowels among themselves = 5!3! = (5×4×3×2×1)/(3×2×1) = 20   Hence, required number of ways = 2520 x 20 = 50400   50400

If each digit in the set of A = {1,2,3,4,5,6} is exactly used once, in how many ways can the digits be arranged such that the 2 and 5 are not adjacent?	Choices.
A) 4*5!  B) 6! - 5!  C) 6! / 5!  D) 6!* 5!  E) 6! - 4!

Solution: The answer should be the (total arrangements) - (arrangements when 2 and 5 are adjacent).   The number of ways to arrange 6 units is 6!   If we think of 2 and 5 as one single unit, the number of arrangements is 5!   Note that 2 and 5 can have two arrangements, so we multiply by 2 to get 2*5!   The total number of valid arrangements is 6! - 2*5! = 6*5! - 2*5! = 4*5!   The answer is 4*5!.

A part of Rs. 38800 is lent out at 6% per 6 months. The rest of the amount is lent out at 5% per annum after 1 year. The ratio of interest after 3 years from the time when first amount was lent out is 5:4. Find the second part that was lent out at 5%.
Choose one.
A) 28800 B) 27800 C) 29800 D) 26500 E) 55055

Solution: Let the 1st part that is lent out be x at 6%. then 2nd part will be (38800-x) at 5%.then the S.I1 of 1st part is (p*r*t)/100 = (x*6*6)/100 [t=6 becoz we r calculating till 3yrs & der is six 6months in 3yrs]   similarly S.I2 of 2nd part = {(38800-x)*5*2}/100 [t=2 since the 5% rate is to be calculated after the 1st year & per annum, so no. of years left is 2]therefore, S.I1/S.I2=5/4, by calculating it we get x=10000So, 2nd part is   38800-10000= 
  38800-10000 = 28_800

Answer: A
A ranch has both horses and ponies. Exactly 5/7 of the ponies have horseshoes, and exactly 2/3 of the ponies with horseshoes are from Iceland. If there are 4 more horses than ponies, what is the minimum possible combined number of horses and ponies on the ranch? Choose the correct choice from the following answers: A) 34 B) 38 C) 42 D) 46 E) 50

Solution: 5/7*P are ponies with horseshoes, so P is a multiple of 7.   2/3*5/7*P = 10/21*P are Icelandic ponies with horseshoes, so P is a multiple of 21.   The minimum value of P is 21. Then H = P+4 = 25.   The minimum number of horses and ponies is 46.   The answer is 46.

Answer: B
It takes a boat 3 hours to travel down a river from point A to point B, and 5 hours to travel up the river from B to A. How long would it take the same boat to go from A to B in still water?	Choose the correct answer: A) 2 hours and 45 minutes. B) 5 hours and 45 minutes. C) 3 hours and 45 minutes. D) 4 hours and 45 minutes. E) 6 hours and 45 minutes.

Solution: Let: S be the speed of the boat in still water, r be the rate of the water current and d the distance between A and B.   d = 3(S + r) : boat traveling down river   d = 5(S - r) : boat traveling up river   3(S + r) = 5(S - r)   r = S / 4 : solve above equation for r   d = 3(S + S/4) : substitute r by S/4 in equation B   d / S = 3.75 hours = 3 hours and 45 minutes.   correct answer 3 hours and 45 minutes.

How many terms are in the G.P. 3, 6, 12, 24, ......., 96 ?
Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 6	B) 9	C) 67	D) 5	E) 2

Solution: Explanation:   Here a = 3 and r = 6/3= 
6/3 = 2
2. Let the number of terms be n.   Then, t= 96 => a * r^(n-1) = 96   => 3 * 2^(n-1) = 96 => 2^(n-1) = 32 = 2^(5)   => n-1 = 5 => n = 6   6nswer: 6
