In a recent survey, Q people were asked whether they eat after 22:00 O'clock. 25 percent of the people answered positively and 40 percent of the rest were asked, at what time do they get up in the morning. Which of the following expressions represents the number of people who do not eat after 22:00 and were not asked about the time they get up in the morning?
Answers:
A) 3Q/20.  B) Q/10  C) 5Q/9  D) 3Q/10  E) 9Q/20

Solution: Assume Q=100   100-25=

Two wheels are connected via a conveyor belt. The larger wheel has a 40cm diameter and the smaller wheel has a 32cm diameter. In order for the conveyor belt to work smoothly, each wheel must rotate the exact same number of centimetres per minute. If the larger wheel makes r revolution per minute, how many revolutions does the smaller wheel make per minute in terms of r?	Choose the correct choice
A) 1280π B) 1.25r C) 48r D) 24r E) (64π)/3

Solution: Interesting to note that the larger wheel has a diameter of 40 (8*5) while the smaller one has a diameter of 32 (8*4)...   If the large wheel has a diameter of 40 and the small wheel, 32, then their circumferences are 40pi and 32pi respectively. In order for them to move the conveyor belt at the same rate, the smaller wheel would need to rotate 1.25 times as fast as the larger wheel. Lets say the large wheel makes 10 revolutions per minute, the smaller wheel would need to make   10*1.25= 
  10*1.25 = 12.5
12.5 revolutions per minute. If the large wheel makes 10 revolutions per minute . Therefore, the smaller wheel would need to make   10*1.25= 
  10*1.25 = 12.5
12.5 revolutions per minute.   If r= 10, then the answer choice must be b.   B. 1.25r

What is the minimum number of square marbles required to tile a floor of length 2 metres 89 cm and width 3 metres 74 cm? Select the correct option:
A) 176	B) 187	C) 374	D) 748	E) 546

Solution: The marbles used to tile the floor are square marbles.   Therefore, the length of the marble=width of the marble.the length of the marble=width of the marble.   As we have to use whole number of marbles, the side of the square should a factor of both 2 m 89 cm and 3m 74. And it should be the highest factor of 2 m 89 cm and 3m 74.   2m 89 cm = 578 cm and 3 m 74 cm = 374 cm.   The HCF of 289 and 374 = 34.   Hence, the side of the square is 17.   The number of such square marbles required,   =289×374/17×17   =374 marbles   Option(374)

A) 4 B) 6 C) 8 D) 10 E) 12

Solution: I am getting 12. E. Hope havent done any calculation errors..   approach..   let y=no. of days taken by Y to do w widgets. Then X will take y+2 days.   1/(y+2) +1/y = 5/12(5/12 is because (5/4)w widgets are done in 3 days. So, x widgets will be done in 12/5 days or 5/12 th of a widget in a day)   Solving, we have y = 4   =>X takes 6 days to doing x widgets.   Answer : 6

Mark is playing poker at a casino. Mark starts playing with 120 chips, 20% of which are $100 chips and 80% of which are $20 chips. For his first bet, Mark places chips, 10% of which are $100 chips, in the center of the table. If 70% of Mark's remaining chips are $20 chips, how much money did Mark bet?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) $1,960  B) $1,680  C) $1,540  D) $3,080  E) $2,640

Solution: Total chips 120   20% of $100 chips = 24 chips * $100 = $2,400   80% of $20 chips = 96 chips * $20 = $1,920   If x is the number of chips bet and y is the amount of chips remaining:   x + y = 120   y = 120 - x ~ (1)   [First round bet] + [Second round bet] = $2,400 + $1,920   [0.1x * $100 + 0.9x * $20] + [0.3y * $100 + 0.7y * $20] = $4,320   10x + 18x + 30y + 14y = 4320   28x + 44y = 4320 ~ (2)   Substitute (1) into (2) to solve for x:   28x + 44(120 - x) = 4320   28x + 5280 - 44x = 4320   16x = 960   x = 60   Substituting x:   [First round bet] = [0.1x * $100 + 0.9x * $20] = 0.1(60)($100)+0.9(60)($20) = $600 + $1,080 = $1,680   Answer is $1,680

For what value of 'm' will the quadratic equation x2 - mx + 4 = 0 have real and equal roots? Select:
A) 16
B) 8
C) 2
D) -4
E) Choice (B) and (C)

Solution: Explanatory Answer   Any quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 will have real and equal roots if its discriminant b2 - 4ac = 0.   In the given equation x2 - mx + 4 = 0, a = 1, b = -m and c = 4.   Therefore, b2 - 4ac = m2 - 4(4)(1) = m2 - 16.   The roots of the given equation are real and equal.   Therefore, m2 - 16 = 0 or	m2 = 16 or m = +4 or m = -4.   Hence, answer choice (-4)

if m>0 and y is m percent of x, then, in terms of m, x is what percent of y?	Choose one:
A) a)100m B) b)1/100m C) c)10000/m D) d)10/m E) e)1000/m

Solution: Given (m*x)/100=y   to find (x/y)*100   Rearranging first equation   x/y*100 = 100*100/m   =10000/m   Answer c)10000/m
Answer: C
Sebastian bought a meal at a restaurant
and left a 15% tip. With the tip, he paid
exactly $35.88. How much did the meal cost without the tip?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) $28.98	B) $29.91	C) $30.15	D) $31.20	E) $30.85

Solution: The tip is a percent increase of 15%, which is 115%. Let x equal the price before the tip.   Thus, 115% of this price equals $35.88:   1.15x = 35.88   $31.20ivide both sides by 1.15:=>x=35.88/1.15= 
35.88/1.15 = 31.2
31.20   correct answer $31.20)$31.20

2 hours by riding both ways. The time he would take to walk both ways is	Select the correct option.
A) 7 hr 45 mins B) 12hr C) 4hr D) 8 hr 2 min E) 45 hr

Solution: Explanation:   Given that time taken for riding both ways will be 2 hours lesser than the time needed for waking one way and riding back.   Therefore,   time needed for riding one way = time needed for waking one way - 2 hours   Given that time taken in walking one way and riding back = 5 hours 45 mins   Hence, the time he would take to walk both ways   =5 hours 45 min + 2 hours=7 hours 45 mins   7 hr 45 minsnswer 7 hr 45 mins

Forty ladies and fifty gentlemen are present at a party. There are 20 couples among them. If a lady and a gentleman is selected at random, what is the probability that they will be not be a couple?  Pick one:	A) 1/200	B) 1/100	C) 99/100	D) 1/40	E) 1/20

Solution: In how many ways we can select a woman and a man from 40 women and 50 men? In 40*50 = 2,000 ways.   We have a total of 20 couples so, the probability of selecting a couple is 20/2,000 = 1/100.   the probability that they will be not be a couple = 1 - probability of selecting a couple   = 1 - (1/100)   = 99 / 100   Ans- 99/100

Factory X's bulbs work for over 5000 hours in 75% of cases, whereas factory Y's bulbs work for over 5000 hours in 65% of cases. It is known that factory X supplies 70% of the total bulbs available. What is the chance that a purchased bulb will work for longer than 5000 hours?
Choose the correct choice.
A) 76.4%	B) 78%	C) 77.4%	D) 72%	E) 73.9%

Solution: For X, 70% of 75% will work.   For Y, 30% of 65% will work. *30% is the rest of the bulb supply in the market.   So, the probability that a purchased bulb will work is:   0.70(0.75) = .525   0.30(0.65) = 0.195   The combined probability then is 52.5 + 19.5= 
52.5 + 19.5 = 72
72%   ANS 72%
Answer: D
A certain tire company can produce tires at a cost of $22,500 per batch plus $11 per tire. The company can sell tires to the wholesaler at a cost of $20 per tire. If a batch of 15,000
tires is produced and sold, what is the company’s profit per tire? Choose the correct choice
A) $7.50 B) $9.50 C) $11.00 D) $13.50 E) $20.00

Solution: CP(15000 tires) = $22500 +($11×15000) =$187500   SP (15000 tires) = $20×15000 = $300000   Profit = SP-CP   = $300000-$187500= $112500   PROFIT/TIRE 300000- 187500= 
300000- 187500 = 112_500
$112500   PROFIT/TIRE= $112500/15000= 
112500/15000 = 15/2 = around 7.5
$7.50   $7.50nswer $7.50
