Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds is? Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 3/5	B) 3/2	C) 3/8	D) 3/9	E) 3/1

Solution: Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, length of the first train = 27 x meters, and length of the second train = 17 y meters. (27 x + 17 y) / (x + y) = 23 ==> 27 x + 17 y = 23 x + 23 y ==> 4 x = 6 y ==> x/y = 3/2.   Answer: 3/2

A) 3  B) 4  C) 6  D) 8  E) 9

Solution: Tn = nth term   T1 = 1st term   T2 = 2nd term   and so on...   Sn = Sum of first n terms of the sequence   Sn = 1st term + 2nd term + 3rd term + ... + nth term   Sn = T1 + T2 + T3 + ....Tn   You are given here thatSn is the SUM of first n terms...So you have   Sn = T1 + T2 + T3 + ....Tn = n(n+1)   So S1 = T1   S2 = T1 + T2   S3 = T1 + T2 + T3   and so on   S1 = T1 = 1*(1+1)= 
1*(1+1) = 2
2   S2= T1 + T2 = 2 + T2 = 2*(2+1)= 
2*(2+1) = 6
6   So T2= 4   S3 = T1 + T2 + T3 = 2 + 4 + T3 = 3*(3+1)= 
3*(3+1) = 12
12   So T3= 6   (This is what we wanted)   The third term is 4.   4

A) 2  B) 3  C) 4  D) 5  E) 6

Solution: Let A's speed = x km/hr. Then, B's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.   So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14   x2 - 98x + 168 = 0   (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.   Since, A is faster than B, so A's speed = 4 km/hr and B's speed = 3 km/hr.   Answer:3

Silk is purchased for $250 per square yard at the Silk Market. The silk is cut into patterns and made into s-size shirts - the excess silk is discarded (1/5 of the silk material). The area is 2 square yards in the pattern that makes 1 side of an s-size shirt. If 2 sides make one shirt, how much money is needed to buy silk to make x number of s-size shirts, in dollars?  Choices:	A) 2x	B) 15x/8	C) 850x	D) 1,250x	E) 3,000x/2

Solution: The initial cost for a square yard of silk is = $250.   It takes 2 square yards of silk to make one side of an s-size shirt, but 1/5 of the material is wasted in cutting the material into patterns. The cost is; therefore, (1 square yard)(1 - 1/5) = $250, and so, 1 square yard = $250(5/4) for useful silk.   Because it takes 2 square yards to make one side, and 2 sides to make one shirt:   (2)(2)($250(5/4) = $1,250 = cost 1 shirt.   So, x number of shirts cost $1,250x   Answer is 1,250x

B) 10
C) 5000
D) 5040
E) 120

Solution: Hi there,   You can treat this as an ordering question except thatfor a circular arrangement you need to divide by the number of spaces.So in this case:   7!/7=5040   If you spin the circle to right, that doesn't count as a new arrangement. Dividing by the number of spaces takes that into consideration.   Happy Studies,   HG.   5040

Based on the above equations, can you find out the outcome for:
D + F=?	Options:	A) 15	B) 14	C) 13	D) 12	E) 10

Solution: In this question, the alphabets represent their equivalent numeric position.   A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 and so on.   Thus,   A + B = c   => 1 + 2= 
1 + 2 = 3
3   D - C= A   => 4 - 3= 
4 - 3 = 1
1   E - B= C   => 5 - 2= 
5 - 2 = 3
3   Which is why,   D + F= 4 + 6= 
4 + 6 = 10
10   Since, J is the 10th alphabet,   D + F= J.   correct answer is 10)10

Thomas's age and Matt's age are in the ratio 3:5. Two years ago the ratio of their ages was 5:9. Find the ratio of their ages four years hence?
Answers
A) 1:2  B) 2:3  C) 3:4  D) 4:5  E) 5:6

Solution: Let ages of Thomas and Matt be x and y respectively.   x/y = 3/5 => x = 3/5 y   (x- 2)/(y - 2) = 5/9   => 9x - 18 = 5y - 10 => 9x = 5y + 8   But x = 3/5 y   9 * 3/5 y = 5y + 8   27y = 25y + 40 => y = 20 years   => x = 3*20/5= 
3*20/5 = 12
> 12 years   Ratio of their ages four years hence, (12 +4)/(20+ 4)= 16/24. => 2:3   Answer:2:3
