Question: Four angles of a quadrilateral are in G.P. Whose common ratio is an intiger. Two of the angles are acute while the other two are obtuse. The measure of the smallest angle of the quadrilateral is
A.12
B.24
C.36
D.46
Answer: B.24
Explanation: Let the angles be a, ar, ar 2, ar 3.
Sum of the angles = a ( r 4- 1 ) /r -1 = a ( r 2 + 1 ) ( r + 1 ) = 360
a< 90 , and ar< 90, Therefore, a ( 1 + r ) < 180, or ( r 2 + 1 ) > 2
Therefore, r is not equal to 1. Trying for r = 2 we get a = 24
Therefore, The angles are 24, 48, 96 and 192.

Question: Jack and Christina are standing 270 feet apart on a level surface. Their dog, Lindy, is standing next to Christina. At the same time, they all begin moving toward each other. Jack walks in a straight line toward Christina at a constant speed of 4 feet per second and Christina walks in a straight line toward Jack at a constant speed of 5 feet per second. Lindy runs at a constant speed of 8 feet per second from Christina to Jack, back to Christina, back to Jack, and so forth. What is the total distance, in feet, that Lindy has traveled when the three meet at one place?
A.150
B.180
C.210
D.240
Answer: D.240
Explanation: The relative speed of Jack and Christina is 4 + 5 = 9 feet per second.
The distance between them is 210 feet, hence they will meet in (time) = (distance)/(relative speed) = 270/7 = 30 seconds.
For all this time Lindy was running back and forth, so it covered (distance) = (speed)*(time) = 8*30 = 240 feet.

Question: At exactly what time past 5:00 will the minute and hour hands of an accurate working clock be precisely perpendicular to each other for the first time?
A.20 13/21 minutes past 7:00
B.20 13/17 minutes past 7:00
C.21 9/11 minutes past 5:00
D.21 9/11 minutes past 7:00
Answer: C.21 9/11 minutes past 5:00
Explanation: 5.5 is the angle between minute n hour, this is what I was taught...so shouldn't it be solve by dividing 90 with 5.5?
That would have been the case if your initial difference between the hour and the minute hand was = 0 degrees or in other words, both minute and hour hands were at the same location. But as per the question, you are asked for time AFTER 5:00. At 5:00, the angle between the hour and the minute hand is 210 degrees. you need to take this into account as well.
So in order for the difference to decrease to 90 degrees, the minute hand must eat away this difference of 210-90 = 120 degree at the rate of 5.5 degrees per minute ---> 120/5.5 = 21 9/11 minutes.
Thus, C is the correct answer.

Question: Pipe A that can fill a tank in an hour and pipe B that can fill the tank in 15 are opened simultaneously when the tank is empty. Pipe B is shut 15 minutes before the tank overflows. When will the tank overflow?
A.40 mins
B.35 mins
C.30 mins
D.32 mins
Answer: C.30 mins
Explanation: The last 15 minutes only pipe A was open. Since it needs 1 hour to fill the tank, then in 15 minutes it fills 1/4th of the tank, thus 3/4 of the tank is filled with both pipes open.
The combined rate of two pipes is 1 + 4 = 5 tanks/hour, therefore to fill 3/4th of the tank they need (time) = (work)/(rate) = (3/4)/5 = 3/20 hours = 15 minutes.
Total time = 15 + 15 = 30 minutes.
Answer: C

Question: In a certain game, a player begins with a bag containing tiles numbered 1 through 9, each of which has an equal probability of being selected. The player draws one tile. If the tile is even, the player stops. If not, the player draws another tile without replacing the first. If this second tile is even, the player stops. If not, the player draws a third tile—without replacing either of the first two tiles—and then stops. What is the probability that at the conclusion of the game, the sum of the tiles that the player has drawn is odd?
A.5/18
B.13/36
C.3/8
D.5/8
Answer: D.5/8
Explanation: player begins with containing tiles 1 to 10 and have equal probability of selecting means
Proabability of selecting one number =1/10. here 5 even numbers and 5 odd numbers are there.
Next , player draws one title , if number is even player stops or otherwise title is odd without replacement
player draws second title.
If second title is even , player stops or title is odd without replacement player draws third title.
in third title , without replacement of first and second title, player draws and stops it.
the sum of tilte probability is odd. here two conditions are possible.
1st condition is
1st title is odd+ 2nd title is even stops= probability of selecting one title is 1/10*5c1.
Here are we are not selecting 1st condition as even stops because sum of tile is odd.
Here 5 odd numbers are there we can select 1out of 5 odd numbers.
without replacement of fist we select second tilte is even. is 5/10*5c1/9c1.
here we are selecting one number out of remaining 9 numbers. so probability is 5/18.
we are selecting 1 even number out of 5.
2nd condition is 1stodd without replacement,2nd odd without replacement and 3rd one also odd to get odd as sum of title.
Then probability is 5/10*4/9*3/8=1/12.
Finally sum of probability of two conditions is 5/18+1/12
=5/8.
so option D is correct.
Question: 5 goats’s and 10 hens are brought for Rs.2500. If the average price of a hen be Rs.50. What is the average price of a goat.

Question: How much time is required to cover the distance of 910 Km by a car driver, if he start with the initial speed of 40 Km/hr. and increases the speed by 5 Km/hr for every next hour ?
A.11 hours
B.12 hours
C.13 hours
D.14 hours
Answer: C.13 hours
Explanation: IT is AP series problem where
a= 40, d=5 , sum = 910
and n=?
910 = (n/2)*(2*40+(n-1)*5)
5n^2+75n-1820=0
n^2+15n-364=0
solving it, we get
n=13
so 13 hours

Question: Two trains are moving in the same direction at 72 kmph and 36 kmph. The faster train crosses a man in the slower train in 25 seconds. Find the length of the faster train?
A.270
B.250
C.187
D.257
Answer: B.250
Explanation: Relative speed = (72 - 36) * 5/18 = 2 * 5 = 10 mps.
Distance covered in 25 sec = 25 * 10 = 250 m.
The length of the faster train = 250 m.
Answer: B
Question: A departmental store charges the commission of 15 percent on the first sale of items worth $50,000 and then an additional 10 percent on any sale price that exceeds the initial $50,000. If the department store earned $24,000 in commissions for the sale of a series of diamonds, what was the sale price of the diamond set?
A.$215,000
B.$365,000
C.$115,000
D.$240,000
Answer: A.$215,000
Explanation: Lets start with looking at the options. All options are above 50,000 -> Thus the total commission will be the sum of 15% of 50,000 and 10% of the rest of the amount.
Let's start with calculating 15% of 50,000 = 7,500.
So out of the total commission of 24000, 7500 was earned on the first 50,000. Commission remaining = 24,000 - 7500 = 16,500
16,500 is actually the 10% of the rest of the amount => 165,000
So total sales = 50,000 + 165,000 = 215,000
ANSWER:A
Question: Two trains of equal length 120 metres move in the same direction. The faster train completely
overtakes the slower one in 15 seconds. If the slower train were to move at half its speed, the over
taking would take in 10 seconds. At what speeds are the 2 trains moving (faster and slower respectively
in m/s)
A.24, 22
B.32, 16
C.30, 18
D.28, 14
Answer: B.32, 16
Explanation: The total distance covered for over taking = length of the two trains = 120 +120 = 240
Speed of faster train be x m/s and slower train be y m/s
In the first case Relative speed = x-y
Relative Speed = Distance / Time taken = x-y = 240/15 = 16 m/s………(1)
In the second case, the slower train moves at half its speed
Relative Speed = x-0.5y = 240/10 = 24 m/s …………………..(2)
Solving equation 1 & 2 we get x = 32 and y = 16 .
:. The speed of the faster and slower trains are 32 m/s and 16 m/s respectively
Answer: B
Question: 35 percent of the women in a college class are science majors, and the non-science majors make up 70% of the class. What percentage of the men are science majors if 40% of the class are men?
A.20%
B.25%
C.22.5%
D.30%
Answer: C.22.5%
Explanation: 3.5/k + 2/m = 6/t
Assuming total # is 100 :
[Science - Women] will have -> 0.35 * 60 = 21
[Non-Science-Women] will have -> 39
[Science-Men] will have = 30-21 = 9
S0 9/40 * 100 = 22.5%
