Question: A certain number of men can do a work in 65 days working 6 hours a day. If the number of men are decreased by one-fourth, then for how many hours per day should they work in order to complete the work in 40 days?
A.11
B.13
C.66
D.77
Answer: B.13
Explanation: Let the number of men initially be x. we have M1 D1 H1= M2 D2 H2
So, x * 65 * 6 = (3x)/4 * 40 * h2
=> h2 = (65 * 6 * 4)/(3 * 40) = 13.

Question: A class has a ratio of 3:6:7 of children with red hair, blonde hair and black hair respectively. If the class has 9 kids with red hair, how many kids are in the class?
A.99
B.48
C.16
D.22
Answer: B.48
Explanation: Since there are 9 children with red hair, and the class exists in a 3:6:7 ratio, there are 3 times more children than the unit ratio. Therefore
9 red-haired children
3*(6) blonde-haired children
3*(7) black-haired children
9+18+21 = 48
Alternatively, a part-to-whole ratio can be set up. Since the whole is 3+6+7=16,
9/3=X/16
3*16=48

Question: A palindrome is a number that reads the same front-to-back as it does back-to-front (e.g. 202, 575, 1991, etc.) p is the smallest integer greater than 400 that is both a prime and a palindrome. What is the sum of the digits of p?
A.3
B.4
C.5
D.6
Answer: A.3
Explanation: Given that p is smallest integer greater than 400 - assume there is a 3-digit that satisfies the above conditions. Let the number be xyx ; question asks us the values of 2x+y
We can straight away cross out options A) and D) - sum of digits 3 or 6 implies it is divisible by 3 ---> we know that p is a prime number
Coming to option B) 2x + y = 4 --> only x = 2 and y = 0 satisfy this equation ( x> 2 will never give sum of digits = 4) ; but 202 is divisible by 2 ; we know that p is a prime number
Similarly option C) 2x+y = 5 --> only x = 2 and y = 1 satisfy this equation ( x> 2 will never give sum of digits = 5) ; but 212 is divisible by 2 ; we know that p is a prime number
Therefore answer option should be E ---> can be verified by taking 2x+y = 7 ---> x = 3 and y = 1 ; gives 313

A.12:8
B.12:4
C.13:8
D.14:5
Answer: C.13:8
Explanation: Quantity of milk in 300 liters if mix = 300*3/5 =180 liters
Quantity of milk in 315liters of new mix = 180+15 = 195 liters
Quantity of water in it = 315-195 = 120 liters
Ratio of milk and water in new mix = 90:20 = 13:8

Question: Jones covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip. On a later trip he traveled 300 miles while going three times as fast. His new time compared with the old time was
A.three times as much
B.twice as much
C.the same
D.half as much
Answer: B.twice as much
Explanation: Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.
We know that
Speed = Distance/Time.
Or, Time = Distance/Speed.
So, times taken to covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.
And times taken to covered a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.
= 100/x hr.
So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.

Question: A man gains 20% by selling an article at a certain price. If the sells it at double the price, the percentage of profit will be?
A.288%
B.882%
C.388%
D.140%
Answer: D.140%
Explanation: Let C.P. = Rs. x.
Then, S.P. = Rs. (12% of x) = Rs. 6x/5
New S.P. = 2 * 6x/5 = Rs. 12x/5
Profit = 12x/5 - x = Rs. 7x/5
Profit = 7x/5 * 1/x * 100 = 140%.

Question: Find the percentage gain if a shop owner sells 40 mtr of fabric and gains Cost Price of 15 meters?
A.38.50%
B.39.50%
C.27.50%
D.37.50%
Answer: D.37.50%
Explanation: Let cost of each metre be Rs. 100.
Therefore, cost price of 15m cloth = 15*100 =1500
cost price of 40m cloth = 40*100 = 4000
Since the trader made the CP of 15m from the sale of 40m therefore
Profit on sale of 40m = cost price of 15 m cloth = 1500
Selling price of 40m = 4000+1500 = 5500
Profit % = 37.50%

Question: Sam has forgotten his friend’s seven-digit telephone number. He remembers the following: the first three digits are either 635 or 674, the number is odd, and the number nine appears once. If Sam were to use a trial and error process to reach his friend, what is the minimum number of trials he has to make before he can be certain to succeed ?
A.1000
B.2430
C.3402
D.3006
Answer: C.3402
Explanation: Explanation :
Let's check the number of ways for the first telephone number.
6 3 5 - - - -
a) 6 3 5 9 - - -
4 choices for last digit (1,3,5,7).
9 * 9 choices for 5th and 6th digits together.
So, 9 * 9 * 4 choices = 324 ways.
Similarly,
b.) 6 3 5 - 9 - - = 324 ways.
c.) 6 3 5 - - 9 - = 324 ways.
d.) 6 3 5 - - - 9 = 9 * 9 * 9 =729 ways.
Total= (324 + 324 + 324 + 729) = 1701.
It will be also the case with the phone number starting with 674.
Hence, the minimum number of trial required is 2 x 1701 = 3402.
Answer : C
Question: A contractor undertook to finish a job in 150 days and employed 200 men. After 50 days he found that only 1/4 of work was finished. How many extra days are needed if he employs 50 more men?
A.20
B.25
C.30
D.35
Answer: A.20
Explanation: work part A=25% and work part B= 75%
25% work done by 200 people in 50 days
if only one employee works then he takes 200*50=10000 days
and if work(B) is triple more ten he will take =10000*3 =30000 days
if employees are 250 then days = 30000/250=120days
then total days = 50+120 = 170 days
how many extra days taken = 170-150 = 20 days

Question: Balls of equal size are arranged in rows to form an equilateral triangle. the top most row consists of one ball, the 2nd row of two balls and so on. If 789 balls are added, then all the balls can be arranged in the shape of square and each of the sides of the square contain 8 balls less than the each side of the triangle did. How many balls made up the triangle?
A.1711
B.2209
C.2878
D.1210
Answer: A.1711
Explanation: As expected, this question boils down to 2 equation,
Consider total number of Balls in Triangle = T and number of balls in last row = x.
1+2+3+...+x = T
x(x+1)/2 = T ----(a)
As mentioned in the question, side of a square will be (x-8) and total number of Balls in square will be (T+789)
(x-8)^2 = T+789 -----(b)
Now the hardest part of the question will be to solve these 2 equations and this looks like time consuming BUT the easy way will be plug and play. Also, we've to find a value of T (from 5 optiosn given below) which can make a square of a a number. One we know this, it will be a cake walk.
We can see that option A fits this criteria in eq (b). Add - 1711+789 = 2500 = 50^2 = (x-8)^2 Hence, x = 58.
Cross check by putting in eq (a) = x(x+1)/2 = T = > 58*59/2=1711
Hence, answer is A.

Question: Joe invested a certain sum of money in a simple interest bond whose value grew to $400 at the end of 3 years and to $500 at the end of another 5 years. What was the rate of interest in which he invested his sum?
A.4.76%
B.5.88%
C.6.33%
D.7.75%
Answer: B.5.88%
Explanation: In 5 years, the value grew $100, so the simple interest was $20 per year.
In 3 years, the total interest was 3*$20 = $60
The principal is $400 - $60 = 340.
The interest rate is $20/$340 = 1/17 which is about 5.88%
The answer is B.

Question: If 30! × 30!/30^n is an integer, what is the largest possible value of n?
A.20
B.14
C.8
D.4
Answer: B.14
Explanation: 30! × 30!/30^n is an integer.
Or 30! × 30!/(3^2n*5^n)
This means we need to find the power of 5 in the numerator. We can safely say that the number of powers of 5 will be lower than the number of powers of 4 in the numerator.
Largest power of 5 in 30! = [30/5] + [30/25] = 7
Since there are 2 20!'s, power of 7 in the numerator = 2*7 = 14
Hence the largest value of b for which 30! × 30!/30^n is integer = 14

Question: Tom read a book containing 480 pages by reading the same number of pages each day. If he would have finished the book 5days extra by reading 10 pages a day less, how many days did Tom spend reading the book?
A.13
B.15
C.14
D.13.19
Answer: D.13.19
Explanation: Actually u can set up 2 equation
P--stands for the pages
D--stands for the days
1) P*D=480 (we want to find the Days, soP=480/D)
2) (P-10)(D+5)=480 => PD+5P-10D-50=480
as the 1) stated u can put 1) into 2)
=> 480+5P-10D-50=480 => 5P-10D=50
put the bold one into it => 5*480/D-10D=50
the we get the final equation 2400/D-10D=50
=> D^2+5D-240=0
(D-15)(D+10)=0 so D=13.19days. Ans: D

Question: Last year, for every 100 million vehicles that travelled on a certain highway, 100 vehicles were involved in accidents. If 3 billion vehicles travelled on the highway last year, how many of those vehicles were involved in accidents? (1 billion = 1,000,000,000)
A.288
B.320
C.3,000
D.3,200
Answer: C.3,000
Explanation: To solve we will set up a proportion. We know that “100 million vehicles is to 100 accidents as 3 billion vehicles is to x accidents”. To express everything in terms of “millions”, we can use 3,000 million rather than 3 billion. Creating a proportion we have:
100/100 = 3,000/x
Cross multiplying gives us:
100x = 3,000 * 100
x = 30 * 100 = 3,000
Correct answer is C.

Question: Find the quotient when total no. Of divisors of 16! is divided by right most non-zero digit of 15!
A.672
B.682
C.692
D.745
Answer: A.672
Explanation: first find the factors of 16!
and then divide with non zero digit of 15!
factors of 16!
prime no below 16 are 2 3 5 7 11 13
now highest power of 2 in 16! is 15
3is 6,5 is 3,7 is 2,11,is 1,13 is 1
so no of factors is 16*7*4*3*2*2=5376
now last digit in 15!
it can be written as 2^11*3^6*5^3*7^2*11^1*13*1
5^3*2^3 gives 0 so remaining is 2^3 =8
therefore 5376/8=672

Question: The speed of a boat in still water is 24 kmph. What is the speed of the stream if the boat can cover 64 km downstream or 32 km upstream in the same time?
A.8 kmph
B.6 kmph
C.7 kmph
D.5 kmph
Answer: A.8 kmph
Explanation: X = the speed of the stream
(24 + X) / (24 - X) = 2/1
24+ X = 48 - 2X
3X = 24
X = 8 km/hour
If the speed of the stream is 8km/hour, then the 'downstream' speed of the boat is 24+8 = 32km/hour and the 'upstream' speed of the boat is 24-8 = 16km/hour. In that way, if the boat traveled for 2 hours, it would travel 2x32 = 64km downstream and 2x16 = 32km/hour upstream.
