Question: A man buys an item at Rs. 600 and sells it at the loss of 20 percent. Then what is the selling price of that item
A.Rs. 480
B.Rs. 760
C.Rs. 860
D.Rs. 960
Answer: A.Rs. 480
Explanation: Explanation:
Here always remember, when ever x% loss,
it means S.P. = (100 - x)% of C.P
when ever x% profit,
it means S.P. = (100 + x)% of C.P
So here will be (100 - x)% of C.P.
= 80% of 600
= 80/100 * 600
= 480

Question: Two cars, Car1 and Car2 move towards each other from W and Y respectively with respective speeds of 20 m/s and 15 m/s. After meeting each other Car1 reaches Y in 10 seconds. In how many seconds does Car 2 reach W starting from Y?
A.15.5 sec
B.8.4 sec
C.33.6 sec
D.31.11 sec
Answer: D.31.11 sec
Explanation: W--------------------------------------|----------------------------Y
Car A(20mps)------------------------->P<---------------Car B(15mps)
Let 2 cars meet each other at point P in t seconds.
Car1 covers distance= 20t. Car2 covers distance=15t. So, total distance WY= 35t.
From P, Car 1 reaches onto Y in 10 secs. So it covers 15t further.
so, 15t/20 = 10
So t=40/3 sec and total distance = (35*40)/3
Hence Car2 will cover total distance in (35*40)/(3*15) = 31.11 sec approx.

Question: A can finish a work in 12 days and B can do same work in half the time taken by A. then working together, what part of same work they can finish in a day?
A.1/4
B.1/6
C.1/7
D.1/8
Answer: A.1/4
Explanation: Explanation:
Please note in this question, we need to answer part of work for a day rather than complete work. It was worth mentioning here because many do mistake at this point in hurry to solve the question
So lets solve now,
A's 1 day work = 1/12
B's 1 day work = 1/6 [because B take half the time than A]
(A+B)'s one day work =
(1/12+1/6)=1/4
So in one day 1/4 work will be done

Question: Find how many positive integers less than 10,000 are there such thatthe sum of the digits of the no. is divisible by 3?
A.3468
B.2378
C.2875
D.3334
Answer: D.3334
Explanation: If sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the number is divisible by 3.
Therefore, required number of non-negative integers is equal to count of numbers less than 10,000 which are divisible by 3.
Such numbers are (3, 6, 9, ... , 9999) (arithmetic progression with first term=3, last term=9999, common difference=3).
Count of such numbers =
9999
3
=
3333
99993=3333
But zero is also divisible by 3.
This makes our total count 3334

Question: If a store adds 60 chairs to its current inventory, the total number of chairs will be the same as three-halves the current inventory of chairs. If the manager wants to increase the current inventory by 50%, what will the new inventory of chairs be?
A.40
B.60
C.100
D.180
Answer: D.180
Explanation: Explanation:
Letâ€™s say t = total current inventory of chairs. The first sentence states that 60 + t = (3/2)t. First solve for the current inventory:
60 + t = (3/2)t
60 = (3/2)t âˆ’ t
60 = (1/2)t
120 = t
The manager wants to increase this by 50%.
50% of 120 is 60, so the new inventory will be 180.

Answer: A.35 years
Explanation: Let the present ages of X and Y be 5x and 6x years respectively.
Then, (5x + 7)/(6x + 7) = 6/7
7(5x + 7) = 6(6x + 7) => x = 7
X's present age = 5x = 35 years.
Answer: A

Question: The average age of 10 students in a class is 15 years. If the age of teacher is also included, the average becomes 16 years, find the age of the teacher.
A.30
B.26
C.28
D.29
Answer: B.26
Explanation: Explanation:
If teacher's age is 15 years, there is no change in the average. But teacher has contributed 1 year to all the students along with maintaining his age at 16.
Age of teacher = Average age of all + Total increase in age
= 16 + (1 x 10 ) = 26 years
Answer:B
Question: A man goes to his office from his house at a speed of 3 km/hr and returns at a speed of 2 km/hr. If he takes 5 hours in going and coming, what is the distance between his house and office?
A.8
B.7
C.4
D.6
Answer: D.6
Explanation: If a car covers a certain distance at x kmph and an equal distance at y kmph,the average speed of the whole journey = 2xyx+y kmphHence, average speed = 2×3×22+3=125 km/hrTotal time taken = 5 hours⇒Distance travelled=125×5=12 km⇒Distance between his house and office =122=6 km
Answer : D
Question: A bike agent buys 30 bicycles, of which 8 are first grade and the rest are second grade, for Rs 3,150, Find at what price he must sell the first grade bikes so that if he sells the second grade bikes at three quarters of the price, he may make a profit of 40% on his outlay.
A.Rs 200
B.Rs 240
C.Rs 180
D.Rs 210
Answer: C.Rs 180
Explanation: Suppose the price of first grade bike = Rs X
And the price of second grade bike = Rs Y
Therefore, 8X + 22Y = 3150
Suppose he sells the first grade bike at the rate of Rs Z per cycle
Therefore, 8Z + 22 x 3/4Z = 3150 + 40% of 3150
98Z = 17640 => Z = 180
S.P. of the first grade bike = Rs 180
S.P. of the second grade bike = Rs 135
ANSWER:C
Question: A drawer holds 5 red hats and 5 blue hats. What is the probability of getting exactly three red hats or exactly three blue hats when taking out 8 hats randomly out of the drawer and returning each hat before taking out the next one?
A.3/4
B.5/8
C.7/16
D.15/32
Answer: C.7/16
Explanation: Let's find the probability of getting exactly 3 red hats.
One possible case is red-red-red-blue-blue-blue-blue-blue.
The probability of this is 1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2 = 1/256
There are 8C3 = 56 such cases so we need to multiply this by 56.
P(exactly 3 red hats) = 56*1/256 = 7/32
Clearly the probability of getting exactly 3 blue hats will also be 7/32.
The sum of the probabilities is 7/32+7/32 = 14/32 = 7/16
The answer is C.
Question: John takes 6 hrs to print 32 pages. Peter takes 5hrs to print 40 pages. In how many hours they will print 110 pages together ?

Question: 70,78, 80,85,90,105,105,130,130,130
The list consists of the times in seconds that it took each of the 10 school children to run a distance of 400 mts . If the standard deviation of the 10 running times is 22.4, rounded to the nearest tenth of a second, how many of the 10 running times are more than 1 standard deviation below the mean of the 10 running times.
A.1
B.2
C.3
D.4
Answer: A.1
Explanation: How many of the 10 running times are more than one SD below the meanmeans how many data points from given 10 are less thanmean-1SD.
We are given that SD=22.4, so we should find mean --> mean=100 --> there is only 1 data points below 100-22.4=77.6, namely 70
Answer: A.
Question: The Shopkeeper increased the price of a product by 25% so that customer finds it difficult to purchase the required amount. But somehow the customer managed to purchase only 70% of the required amount. What is the net difference in the expenditure on that product?
