Question: How many different sevevn letter words can be formed (the words need not be meaningful) using the letters of the word MEDITERRANEAN such that the first letter is E and the last letter is R?
A.65
B.11!/(2!*2!*2!)
C.56
D.23
Answer: A.65
Explanation: E- -R
We are left with the following 11 letters: {M, D, I, T, R, EE, AA, NN} out of which 8 are distinct: {M, D, I, T, R, E, A, N}.
We should consider two cases:
1. If the two middle letters are the same, we'd have 3 words: EEER, EAAR and ENNR.
2. If the two middle letters are distinct, then we are basically choosing 2 letters out of 8 when the order of the selection matters, so it's 8P2 = 56.
Total = 56 + 3 = 65.

Question: Donna, Chris, and Austin have a total of $93 in their wallets. Donna has $7 more than Chris. Austin has 3 times what Donna has. How much do they have in their wallets?
A.Donna $10 -Chris $45 -Austin $90
B.Donna $20-Chris $13 -Austin $60
C.Donna $30 -Chris $34-Austin $70
D.Donna $40 -Chris $56 -Austin $100
Answer: B.Donna $20-Chris $13 -Austin $60
Explanation: Let the amount in Chris’s wallet be $x
Donna has $7 more than Chrish's wallet = $(x + 7)
Austin has 3 times than Donna's wallet = $3(x + 7)
According to the problem, Donna, chris, and Austin have a total of $93 in their wallets.
Therefore,
x + (x + 7) + 3(x + 7) = 93
x + x + 7 + 3x + 21 = 93
5x + 28 = 93
- 28 -28 (subtract 28 from both sides)
5x = 65
or, 5x/5 = 65/5 (Divide both sides by 5)
x = 13
Amount in Chris wallet = $x = $13
Amount in Donna's wallet = $(x + 7) = $(13 + 7) = $20
Amount in Austin 's wallet = $3(x + 7) = $3(13 + 7) = $3(20) = $ 60
Answer: Amount in Chris’s wallet: $13
Amount in Donna's wallet: $20
Amount in Austin's wallet: $60

Question: if m is a positive integer greater than 8, which of the following must be divisible by 4?
A. m(m-1)(m+2)(m+3)
B. m(m-1)(m+3)(m+4)
C. m(m-3)(m+2)(m+4)
D. m(m-3)(m+2)(m+3)
Answer: D. m(m-3)(m+2)(m+3)
Explanation: D.
For any integer m, D is the only answer choice which will always be divisible by 4.
A product of 4 consecutive integers will always be divisible by 4. Since, none of the answer choices are a product of 4 consecutive integers, we have to ensure at least one of the integers is always a multiple of 4. The best way to do that is to ensure the answer choice ism* [(m-1)OR(m+3)] * [(m-2)OR(m+2)] * [(m-3)OR(m+1)]. (answer D)

Question: Mr. Smith calculated the average of 10three digit numbers. But due to a mistake he reversed the digits of a number and thus his average increased by 49.5. The difference between the unit digit and hundreds digit of that number is :
A.3
B.4
C.5
D.6
Answer: C.5
Explanation: Since the average increased by 49.5 and there were a total of 10 numbers, it means the incorrect number was 49.5 greater than the correct number.
Say, the correct number was abc (where a, b and c are the digits of the 3 digit number)
Then the incorrect number was cba.
100c + 10b + a - (100a + 10b + c) = 495
99c - 99a = 99(c - a) = 495
495 = 99*5 = 99(c - a)
So c - a = 5

He does this over 1000 times, writing down the sums in a long list. What is the expected standard deviation of the sums on this list?
A.1/2
B.3/4
C.√3/2
D.√5 /2
Answer: C.√3/2
Explanation: variance of binomial distribution is n*p*(1-p), n = 3, p = 1/2
variance = 3*1/2*(1-1/2)= 3/4
stddev = sqrt(variance) = sqrt(3)/2
After many trials sample standard deviation is close to theoretical standard deviation = sqrt(3)/2.
C is the answer.
Question: A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day?
A.22 days
B.15 days
C.77 days
D.99 days
Answer: B.15 days
Explanation: A's 2 day's work = (1/20 * 2) = 1/10
(A + B + C)'s 1 day work = (1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60) = 1/10
Work done in 3 days = (1/10 + 1/10) = 1/5
Now, 1/5 work is done in 3 days.
Whole work will be done in (3 * 5) = 15 days.
Answer: B
Question: How many positive 5-digit integers have the odd sum W of their digits?
A.9*10^2
B.9*10^3
C.10^4
D.45*10^3
Answer: D.45*10^3
Explanation: We are looking at numbers between 10000 and 99999 both inclusive.
There are 90000 numbers.
Now for
10000 : sum of digits is odd;
10001 :sum of digits is even;
10002 : sum of digits is odd ; so on and so forth. So every alternate number is such that the sum of digit is odd.
(Exception for the above statement :
When it is 10009 the sum is even and for 10010 again the sum is even; But if you look at 10019 :sum is odd; 10020 : sum is odd
and this pattern continues so basically the number of odd sum of digits and even sum of digits are equal)
This means exactly half of the numbers will have odd sum W of their digits. i.e 45000
Answer :D
Question: A committee of 6 is chosen from 8 men and 5 women so as to contain at least 2 men and 3 women. How many different committees could be formed if two of the men refuse to serve together?
A.635
B.700
C.1404
D.2620
Answer: A.635
Explanation: 8 Men - 5 Women
Choose 6 ( two cases)
Case 1:2 men, 4 women
No of ways to choose 2 men out of 8 is 8C2 . This includes that one case in which the two men who refuse to serve together are included. So men can be chosen in 8C2 - 1 ways.
No. of ways to choose 4 women out of 5 is 5C4.
Number of ways of choosing 2 men and 4 women = (8C2 - 1)*(5C4) = 27*5 = 135
Case 2: 3 men, 3 women
No of ways to choose 3 men out of 8 is 8C3. No of ways to choose those two men together is 6C1 (You choose them and choose one more to make 3). So men can be chosen in 8C3 - 6C1 ways.
No of ways to choose 3 women out of 5 is 5C3.
Number of ways of choosing 3 men and 3 women = (8C3 - 6C1)*(5C3) = 500
Total number of ways = 135 + 500 = 635
ANSWER:A
Question: John want to buy a $100 Trouser at the store, but he think itâ€™s too expensive. Finally, it goes on sale for $70. What is the percent decrease?
A.20%
B.30%
C.40%
D.50%
Answer: B.30%
Explanation: The is always the difference between our starting and ending points. In this case, itâ€™s 100 â€“ 70 = 30. The â€œoriginalâ€ is our starting point; in this case, itâ€™s 100. (30/100)*100 = (0.3)*100 = 30%.
B
Question: There are 35 students in a hostel. If the no. of students increases by 7, the expenses of the mess increase by Rs.42/day while the average expenditure per head diminishes by Rs1. Find the original expenditure of the mess?
A.34
B.39
C.42
D.45
Answer: C.42
Explanation: Suppose the average join the mess , total expenditure = 35x + 42
Now, the average expenditure = (35x + 42)/ (35 + 7) = x – 1
or, 35x + 42 = 42x – 42
or, x = 12
Thus the original expenditure of the mess = 35 x 12 = Rs. 42
C
Question: A man is 46 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of his son is:
A.44 years
B.18 years
C.20 years
D.22 years
Answer: A.44 years
Explanation: Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years.
(x + 46) + 2 = 2(x + 2)
x + 48 = 2x + 4
x = 44.
answer :A
Question: The number of livestock in a farm at the beginning of year 2000 was 100,000. During the year, the number increased by p%. During the next year 2001, there was a famine and the number decreased by q%. A census at the end of year 2001 revealed that the number of livestock in the farm was 100,000. Which of the following expressions is correct?
A.p > q
B.q > p
C.p = q
D.With the exception of 1 instance, p will be equal to q
Answer: A.p > q
Explanation: Number plugging in will be best strategy for this question.
Let p = 5%,
Per the question 100000(1.05)(1-q/100) = 100000 ---> q = 4.7%. Thus p > q and hence A is the correct answer
Question: A number consists of 3 digit whose sum is 10. The middle digit is equal to the sum of the other two and the number will be increased by 99 if its digits are reversed. The number is:
A.145
B.253
C.370
D.352
Answer: B.253
Explanation: Explanation:
Let the middle digit be x. Then, 2x = 10 or x = 5.
So, the number is either 253 or 352. Since the number increases on reversing the digits, so the hundred's digit is smaller than the unit's digit. Hence, required number = 253.
ANSWER IS B
Question: A train 110 meters long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?
A.2 sec
B.6 sec
C.7 sec
D.8 sec
Answer: B.6 sec
Explanation: Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr
[66 * 5/18] m/sec = [55/3] m/sec.
Time taken to pass the man = [110 * 3/55] sec = 6 sec
