Question: A mixture of 150 liters of wine and water contains 20% water. How much more water should be added so that water becomes 25% of the new mixture?
A.27 liters
B.18 liters
C.10 liters
D.11 liters
Answer: C.10 liters
Explanation: Number of liters of water in150 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 20/100 * 150 = 30 liters.
P liters of water added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture.
Total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and total volume of mixture is (150 + P).
(30 + P) = 25/100 * (150 + P)
120 + 4P = 150 + P => P = 10 liters.

Question: a, b, and c are integers and a<b<c. S is the set of all integers from a to b, inclusive. Q is the set of all integers from b to c, inclusive. The median of set S is (3/4)*b. The median of set Q is (5/8)*c. If R is the set of all integers from a to c, inclusive, what fraction of c is the median of set R?
A. 3/8
B. 1/2
C. 9/16
D. 5/7
Answer: C. 9/16
Explanation: The answer isC: 11/16.
The key to this problem is remembering that the median for a consecutive set of numbers is equivalent to its mean. For example, the mean and median of a set consisting of x, x+1, x+2, ... ,y will always be (x+y)/2.
For set S, consisting of numbers (a, a+1,...,b), the median is given to be 3/4*b:
(a+b)/2 = (3/4)*b
a = b/2
For set Q, consisting of numbers (b, b+1,...,c), the median is given to be 5/8*c:
(b+c)/2 = (5/8)*c
b = (1/4)*c
For set R, consisting of numbers (a, a+1,...c), the median needs to be found:
a = b/2 = (1/4*c)/2 = (1/8)*c
Median = (a + c)/2 = (1/8*c + c)/2 = (9/8)*c/2 = (9/16)*c (ANSWER C)

Fraction of 3-star funds = 1 - 9/15 = 6/15
(6/15)*Total = 500
Total = 1250
Question: The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If its length is decreased by 10 cm and breadth is increased by 10 cm, the area of the rectangle is increased by 75 sq.cm. What is the length of the rectangle?
A.25 cm
B.35 cm
C.30 cm
D.45 cm
Answer: B.35 cm
Explanation: Let breadth =x cm
Then, length =2x cm
Area =x×2x=2x^2 sq.cm.
New length =(2x−10) cm
New breadth =(x+10) cm
New area =(2x−10)(x+10) sq.cm.
Given that, new area = initial area +75 sq.cm.
⇒(2x−10)(x+10)=2x^2+75
⇒2x^2+20x−10x−100=2x^2+75
⇒10x−100=75
⇒10x=75+100=175
⇒x=175/10=17.5 cm
Length =2x=2×17.5=35 cm
ANSWER:B
Question: Matt is touring a nation in which coins are issued in two amounts, 2¢ and 5¢, which are made of iron and copper, respectively. If Matt has twuenty iron coins and thuenty copper coins, how many different sums from 1¢ to 140¢ can he make with a combination of his coins?
A.137
B.140
C.166
D.136
Answer: D.136
Explanation: The total sum is 20*2 + 20*5 = 140¢. If you can make each sum from 1 to 140 (1¢, 2¢, 3¢, ..., 140¢), then the answer would be 140 (maximum possible).
Now, with 2¢ and 5¢ we cannot make 1¢ and 3¢. We also cannot make 139¢ and 137¢ (since total sum is 140¢ we cannot remove 1¢ or 3¢ to get 139¢ or 137¢).
So, out of 140 sums 4 are for sure not possible, so the answer must be 140 - 4 = 136 sums or less. Only A fits.
Answer: D.

Question: A train 700 m long passes a man, running at 20 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 40 sec. The speed of the train is?
A.40 km/hr
B.41 km/hr
C.42 km/hr
D.43 km/hr
Answer: D.43 km/hr
Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man = 700/40 = 35/2 m/sec.
= 35/2 * 18/5 = 63 km/hr
Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 20) km/hr.
x - 20 = 63 => x = 43 km/hr.

Question: Two bags are randomly selected from a flight at the airport to be searched, one at a time, then sent through after being searched (this means: without return). Five smugglers are watching this and they each have three bags with contraband. There are 20 bags on the flight. What is the probability that they will get away? (Answer in lowest terms).
A.5/75
B.3/12
C.5/76
D.2/19
Answer: C.5/76
Explanation: The flight has 20 bags total. There are (5 smugglers)(3 bags) = 15 bags with contraband, and 20 - 15 = 5 with no contraband, so the probability of getting a bag with no contraband is P(N) = 5/20 on the first selected bag.
Because selection is (without return), the P(N) has changed for following selections. Now, there are 19 bags, but the number bags with contraband stay the same; since, we are only calculating for success as no bag with contraband... and so on.... Therefore, conditional probability! The probability that event B occurs, given that event A has already occurred is:
Formula = P(A\B) = P(A and B)/P(B).
2 bags are selected; so,
P(A\B) = (5/20)(5/19) = 25/380 = 5/76

A.64.67 m
B.66.67 m
C.68.67 m
D.56.67 m
Answer: B.66.67 m
Explanation: By making A diagram
AC represents the hill and DE represents the pole
Given that AC = 100 m
angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD )
angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE)
Let DE = h
Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE
tan 60°=ACCE=>3√=100CE=>CE = 1003√--- (1)
tan 30°=ABBD=>13√=100−hBD=>13√=100−h(1003√)
(∵ BD = CE and Substituted the value of CE from equation 1 )=>(100−h)=13√×1003√=1003=33.33=>h=100−33.33=66.67 m
i.e., the height of the pole = 66.67 m

Question: If in a cricket one day match, there were no wide balls, no wides, no extras and no overthrows.
What is the maximum number of runs that a batsman can score in 25 overs in an ideal case scenario?
A.900
B.850
C.828
D.825
Answer: C.828
Explanation: Solution:
828
Explanation:
For an ideal case, the batsman will hit a six on each ball. But if he hits six on the last ball of the over, the strike will change in the next over. Thus, the best he can do in the last ball is run 3 runs so that he retains the strike even in the next over. Thus the total runs that he can score in each over:
6 * 5 + 3 = 33
But this will have to go like it only till the 24th over. In the 25th over, he can hit a six in the last ball as well as that will be the last ball of his destination.
Thus runs for the 25th over will be 6 * 6 = 36.
Hence the maximum runs = 33 * 24 + 36 = 828
Answer C
Question: Albert buys 4 horses and 9 cows for Rs. 13,400. If he sells the horses at 10% profit and the cows at 20% profit, then he earns a total profit of Rs. 1880. The cost of a horse is:
A.1000
B.2000
C.2300
D.3400
Answer: B.2000
Explanation: Let C.P. of each horse be Rs. x and C.P. of each cow be Rs. y.
Then, 4x + 9y = 13400 -- (i)
And, 10% of 4x + 20% of 9y = 1880
2/5 x + 9/5 y = 1880 => 2x + 9y = 9400 -- (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get : x = 2000 and y = 600.
Cost price of each horse = Rs. 2000.

Question: the first half of the 20th century, the population of a particular country increased by 200 percent. In the second half of the century, the population increased by 300 percent. What was the percent increase for the 20th century as a whole?
A. 500%
B. 600%
C. 800%
D. 1100%
Answer: D. 1100%
Explanation: Say initially population was 100.
What is 200% of 100? It is 200/100 * 100 = 200.
An increase of 200% means the new population became 100 + 200 = 300
What is 300% of 300? It is 300/100 * 300 = 900
An increase of 300% means the new population now is 300 + 900 = 1200
So from 100, the population increased to 1200 i.e. an increase of 1100.
1100 is what percent of 100?
1100 = x/100 * 100
i.e. it is 1100% D

Question: The ratio of the present age of Viju to that of Aju is 7:2. Four years from now, the ratio of the ages of Viju to Aju will be 5:2. What was Viju age 7 years ago ? (RBI Assistant 2015)
A.24
B.18
C.14
D.15
Answer: C.14
Explanation: Let the present age of Viju be 7x years and that of Aju be 2x years.
Then, 4 years from now
7x + 4 / 2x + 4 = 5 / 2
or 4x = 12
or x = 3
Viju present age = 7 * 3 = 21 years
Viju age 7 years ago = 21 - 7 = 14 years
