Question: A batch of cookies was divided among three tins: 2/3 of all the cookies were placed in either the blue tin or the green tin, and the rest were placed in the red tin. If 1/4 of all the cookies were placed in the blue tin, what fraction Q of the cookies that were placed in the other tins were placed in the green tin?
A.15/2
B.9/4
C.5/9
D.7/5
Answer: C.5/9
Explanation: Blue tin or red tin: 2/3 (N)
Red tin: (1/3)N
Blue tin: (1/4)N
What the last statment meant, is it wants this fraction: (# of cookies in green tin)/(# of cookies in red and green tin)
# of cookies in green tin = 2N/3 - N/4 = 8N- 3N/12 = 5N/12
# of cookies in red and green tin = N/3 + 5N/12 = 9N/12
Fraction Q= 5N/12 * 12/9N = 5/9 (C)
Question: If M and N are positive integers that have remainders of 1 and 3, respectively, when divided by 5, which of the following could NOT be a possible value of M+N?
A.84
B.52
C.34
D.29
Answer: B.52
Explanation: M=5p+1
N=5q+3
We need M+N=5p+1+5q+3=5(p+q)+4
Pick numbers for pq
Since it is an addition of pq and the answer to this expression should be an integer (because all the numbers being added are integers),
we just need to choose values so that we get integer multiples of 5 so
p+q=0 ; M+n = 4
p+q=1 ; M+N = 9
P+q=2 ; M+N = 14
and so on, so basically you get something like - 4,9,14,19,24,29,34,..... all the other options were turning up.
Then I directly tried p+q=10 because it was closer to 52 for the first option, i got 54, .
So Answer B.
Question: A water tank is three-fifths full. Pipe A can fill a tank in 10 minutes and pipe B can empty it in 6 minutes. If both the pipes are open, how long will it take to empty or fill the tank completely?
A.6 min
B.8 min
C.7 min
D.9 min
Answer: D.9 min
Explanation: The combined rate of filling/emptying the tank = 1/10 - 1/6 = -1/15
Since the rate is negative, the tank will be emptied.
A full tank would take 15 minutes to empty.
Since the tank is only three-fifths full, the time is (3/5) * 15 = 9 minutes
The answer is D.

B.y/(3^2*2*5)
C.y/(3*2*5^2)
D.y/(5^3*2^2)
Answer: A.y/(3*2^2*5)
Explanation: Solution:
As y and n are both integers so y is of the form of 3*5*2*2*K
where K= an integer.
to make n as an integer and 450y to be a cube of a number.
Now checking with the answers we get only 1 as K.
So the answer is (1).

Question: A shopkeeper sells his goods at cost price but uses a faulty meter that weighs 850 grams. Find the profit percent.
A.300/17%
B.100/23%
C.100/19%
D.100/13%
Answer: A.300/17%
Explanation: Explanation:
(100 + g) / (100 + x) = True measure / Faulty measure
x = 0
true measure = 1000
faulty measure = 850
100 + g / 100 + 0 = 1000 / 850
100+g = 20/17*100
g = 300/17 %

A.60
B.80
C.98
D.89
Answer: B.80
Explanation: If on a test three people answered 90% of the questions correctly and two people answered 80% correctly, then the average for the group is not 85% but rather 3×90+2×805=4305=86.3×90+2×805=4305=86.
Here, 90 has a weight of 3 => it occurs 3 times.
Whereas 80 has a weight of 2 => it occurs 2 times.
So the average is closer to 90 than to 80 as we have just calculated.

Question: If an organization were to sell n tickets for a theater production, the total revenue from ticket sales would be 20 percent greater than the total costs of the production. If the organization actually sold all but 5 percent of the n tickets, the total revenue from ticket sales was what percent greater than the total costs of the production?
A.4%
B.10%
C.14%
D.15%
Answer: C.14%
Explanation: Let Cost of PROD for 1 ticket = 1
So COP for n tickets = n
So for selling n tickets, SP = 1.2 * n = 1.2n
So SP of 1 ticket = 1.2
SP of 95% tickets = 1.2 * 0.95n
So profit % = (1.2 * 0.95n - n)/n * 100
= 0.14 * 100
= 14%

Question: Printer P can print one lakh books in 8 hours. Printer Q can print the same number of books in 10 hours while Printer R can print the same in 12 hours. All the Printers started printing at 9 A.M. Printer P is stopped at 11 A.M. and the remaining 2printers complete work. Approximately at what time will the printing of 1 lac books be completed?
A.12 pm
B.1 pm
C.2 pm
D.3 pm
Answer: B.1 pm
Explanation: Work done by P in 1 hour = 1/8
Work done by Q in 1 hour = 1/10
Work done by R in 1 hour = 1/12
Work done by P,Q and R in 1 hour = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12 = 37/120
Work done by Q and R in 1 hour = 1/10 + 1/12 = 22/120 = 11/60
From 9 am to 11 am, all the Printer were operating.
Ie, they all operated for 2 hours and work completed = 2 × (37/120) = 37/60
Pending work = 1- 37/60 = 23/60
Hours taken by Q an R to complete the pending work = (23/60) / (11/60) = 23/11
which is approximately equal to 2
Hence the work will be completed approximately 2 hours after 11 am ; ie around 1 pm

Question: The sum of five numbers is 655. The average of the first two numbers is 85 and the third number is 125. Find the average of the two numbers?
A.180
B.128
C.276
D.297
Answer: A.180
Explanation: Let the five numbers be P, Q, R, S and T.
=> P + Q + R + S + T = 655.
(P + Q)/2 = 85 and R = 125
P + Q = 170 and R = 125
P + Q + R = 295
S + T = 655 - (P + Q + R) = 360
Average of the last two numbers = (S + T)/2 = 180.
