Question: If a farmer wants to plough a farm field on time, he must plough 120 hectares a day. For technical reasons he ploughed only 85 hectares a day, hence he had to plough 2 more days than he planned and he still has 40 hectares left. What is the area of the farm field and how many days the farmer planned to work initially?
A.700
B.720
C.740
D.760
Answer: B.720
Explanation: Let x be the number of days in the initial plan. Therefore, the whole field is 120⋅x hectares. The farmer had to work for x+2 days, and he ploughed 85(x+2) hectares, leaving 40 hectares unploughed. Then we have the equation:
120x=85(x+2)+40
35x=210
x=6
So the farmer planned to have the work done in 6 days, and the area of the farm field is 120⋅6=720 hectares.
So answer is B.

Question: Suresh started a business with Rs.20,000. Kiran joined him after 4 months with Rs.30,000. After 2 months, Suresh withdrew Rs.5,000 of his capital and 2 more months later, Kiran brought in Rs.20,000 more. What should be the ratio in which they should share their profits at the end of the year?
A.21:32
B.32:21
C.12:17
D.17:12
Answer: A.21:32
Explanation: Explanation :
Here capital is not the same.
Suresh invest 20000 for initial 6 months and 15000 for the next 6 months.
Hence his term of ratio
=( 20000*6 + 15000*6)
Kiran invest Rs.30000 for 4 months and Rs.50000 for next 4 months.
Hence his term of ration
= (30000*4 : 50000*4)
Suresh : Kiran = ( 20000*6 + 15000*6) : (30000*4 : 50000*4)
= (20*6 + 15*6) : (30*4 + 50*4)
= (20*3 + 15*3) : (30*2 : 50*2)
= 105:160
= 21:32. Answer : Option A

Question: A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is?
A.11 km/hr
B.50 km/hr
C.76 km/hr
D.88 km/hr
Answer: B.50 km/hr
Explanation: :
Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec
= (25/2) m/sec. [(25/2) * (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed
= (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 45 ==> x
= 50 km/hr.

Question: The size of a flat-screen television is given as the length of the screen’s diagonal. How many square inches greater is the screen of a square 21-inch flat-screen television than a square 19 -inch flat-screen television?
A.42
B.40
C.38
D.36
Answer: B.40
Explanation: If we take a square with side length x and draw a diagonal, we get two isosceles right triangles.
If we focus on one such right triangle, we see that the legs have length x.
square 21-inch flat-screen television
The diagonal (hypotenuse) = 21
So, we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to get x² + x² = 21²
Simplify: 2x² = 21²
Divide both sides by 2 to get: x² = 21²/2
Since the area of the square = x², we can see that the area of this square is 21²/2
square 19-inch flat-screen television
The diagonal (hypotenuse) = 19
So, we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to get x² + x² = 19²
Simplify: 2x² = 19²
Divide both sides by 2 to get: x² = 19²/2
Since the area of the square = x², we can see that the area of this square is 19²/2
DIFFERENCE IN AREAS =21²/2-19²/2
= (21+19)(21-19)/2 =40

A.975
B.1020
C.1175
D.1225
Answer: D.1225
Explanation: Failed in 1st subject = 35*2500/100 = 875
Failed in 2nd subject = 42*2500/100 = 1050
Failed in both = 14*2500/100 = 350
Failed in 1st subject only = 875-350 = 525
Failed in 2nd subject only = 1050-350 = 700
Passed in either subject but not in both = 700+525 = 1225

A.40
B.50
C.60
D.70
Answer: C.60
Explanation: Let breadth = x metres.
Then, length = (x + 20) metres.
Perimeter =5300	/26.50 m = 200 m.
2[(x + 20) + x] = 200

Question: Siddharth wants to borrow Rs.6000 at rate of interest 6% p.a. at S.I and lend the same amount at C.I at same rate of interest for two years. What would be his income in the above transaction?
A.Rs.21.60
B.Rs.21.69
C.Rs.21.87
D.Rs.21.68
Answer: A.Rs.21.60
Explanation: Amount of money Siddharth borrowed at S.I at 6% p.a. for two years = Rs.6,000
He lend the same amount for C.I at 6% p.a. for two years.
=> Siddharth's income = C.I - S.I
= p[1 + r/ 100]n - p - pnr/100
= p{ [1 + r/ 100]2 - 1 - nr/100
= 6,000{ [1 + 6/100]2 - 1 - 12/100}
= 6,000 {(1.06)2- 1 - 0.12} = 6,000(1.1236 - 1 - 0.12)
= 6,000 (0.0036) = 6 * 3.6 =Rs.21.60

A.15
B.16
C.18
D.20
Answer: A.15
Explanation: if i were to choose during the test, would go for 18 or 20. probably 18 cuz it wont take too long to get the value doubled....
I found a method: Rule of 72.
Given an x% return, it takes 5,000 to quadralope 12 years.
So according to the rule: 72/x is the no of years 5,000.00 took to double 10,000.00.
Again, 10,000.00 took to double 20,000.00 same (72/x) no of years.
72/x+ 72/x = 12
x = 12% (though rate here is not very much required).
Again, 20,000.00 takes the same (72/x) no of years to double 30,000.00.
72/x = 6 years.
So altogather:
5,000 - 10,000 = 6 years
10,000 - 20,000 = 6 years
20,000 - 30,000 = 3 years
Answer A 15 years.

Question: If 2x + y = 7 and x + 2y = 5, then (2x + 2y)/3 =
A. 3
B. 4/3
C. 17/5
D. 18/5
Answer: A. 3
Explanation: 2*(x+2y = 5) equals 2x+4y=10
2x+4y=10
- 2x + y= 7
= 3y=3
Therefore Y = 1
Plug and solve...
2x + 1 = 7
2x=6
x=3
(2*3+2*1)/3= (6+3)/3
=9/3
=3

Question: The no. of gift pack bought by Dexter is 1 more than the price, in rupees, of each gift pack. The amount of Rs.380 which Dexter had, fell short of the required amount. What is the amountby which he might have fallen short.
A.30
B.40
C.50
D.60
Answer: B.40
Explanation: Let the price of gift pack be 'aa'
Then number of packs bought =a+1=a+1
Hence total cost is a(a+1)a(a+1)
It is given that 380<a(a+1)380<a(a+1)
If a=19a=19, the total cost =19×20=380=19×20=380
Dexter would not have fallen short, If:
a=20a=20, a(a+1)=420a(a+1)=420
So he would have fallen short by Rs 40.
This is the minimum amount by which he may have fallen short.

Question: A coin is tossed until sequence HTH appears (H denotes the fall of heads, T denotes the fall of tails). What is the probability P that the game will end after the fourth throw?
A.1/16
B.3/32
C.1/8
D.3/16
Answer: C.1/8
Explanation: Another approach:
Two likely scenarios would be : HHTH or THTH
for each of the scenarios probability would be 1/16
So Probablilty P is 1/16 + 1/16 = 1/8.C
Question: The present ages of three persons are in proportions 4:7:9. Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages (in years)
A.12, 14, 18
B.14, 20, 36
C.16, 12, 14
D.16, 28, 36
Answer: D.16, 28, 36
Explanation: Sol.
Let thier present ages be 4x, 7x and 9x years respectively.
Then, (4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56 ⇔ 20x = 80 ⇔ x = 4.
∴ Their present ages are 16 years, 28 years and 36 years respectively.
Answer D
Question: Set X consists of 10 integers and has median of 10 and a range of 10. What is the value of the greatest possible integer that can be present in the set?
A.32
B.37
C.C.40
D.20
Answer: D.20
Explanation: Note that both median and range do not restrict too many numbers in the set. Range is only concerned with the smallest and greatest. Median only cares about the middle.
Quick check of each option starting from the largest:
(E) 50
Range of 20 means the smallest integer will be 30. So 20 cannot lie in between and hence cannot be the median.
(D) 43
Range of 20 means the smallest integer will be 23. So 20 cannot lie in between and hence cannot be the median.
(C) 40
Range of 20 means the smallest integer will be 20. 20 can lie in between such as:
20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20
This is possible. Hence it is the greatest such number.
Answer (D)
Question: At a Halloween party, 2/5 of the people were dressed as vampires, 1/3 were dressed as ghosts; everyone else at the party, were equally dressed as Pirates, Robin Hood, Fairies, and Princesses. If all of the Fairies leave the party, and the people who just arrived to the party are all dressed as ghosts, doubling the number of ghosts at the party, what proportion of the people at the party are vampires?
A.6/19
B.5/18
C.5/26
D.1/2
Answer: A.6/19
Explanation: Vampires = 2/5 = 6/15
Ghosts = 1/3 = 5/15
Pirates + Robin Hoods + Fairies + Princesses = 1 - (5/15 + 6/15) = 4/15, so each = 1/15
If Ghosts doubled (2)(5) = 10, and now Fairies = 0; then, total = 6 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 19. 6 are Vampires => proportion = 6/19.
Answer: A
Question: When n is divided by 18, the remainder is 6. When n is divided by 11, the quotient is equal to Z, and the remainder is equal to 6. Z must be divisible by which of the following numbers?
A.16
B.17
C.18
D.19
Answer: C.18
Explanation: N = 18 q + 6
N = 11 z + 6
Equating
18 Q + 6 = 11z+6
11z=18q
11z/18 = q
since q is an integer Z must be divisible by 18.
Hence C

Question: In a class, 6 students can speak Tamil, 15 can speak Gujarati and 6 can speak H. If two students can speak two languages and one student can speak all the three languages, then how many students are there in the class?
A.20
B.21
C.22
D.23
Answer: D.23
Explanation: T = 6
G = 15
H = 6
students can speak two languages (suppose Tamil & Gujarati) = 2
student can speak all the three languages = 1
student can speak only Tamil language = 6-2-1 = 3
student can speak only Gujarati language = 15-2-1 = 12
student can speak only H language = 6-1 = 5
So, Total number of student = 2+1+3+12+5 = 23
