A.6 minutes
B.5 minutes
C.7 minutes
D.3 minutes
Answer: A.6 minutes
Explanation: earl takes 1 min. for 36 envelopes.
ellen takes 3/2 mins for the same. so ellen can stuff ((36)/(3/2)) in 1 min. i.e., 24 envlpes a min.
so both of them when work together can stuff 36+24=60 envelopes in 1 min.
for 360 envelopes they will take 360/60 mins. i.e., 6 mins.

Question: If y is an integer, then the least possible value of |21 - 5y| is
A.2
B.1
C.3
D.4
Answer: B.1
Explanation: We know that 5y is a multiple of 5, so let’s first look at the multiples of 5 closest to 22. We have “20” and “25”. Let’s subtract both of these from 21 and see which one produces the smallest result. When 5y = 20, y is 4 and when 5y = 25, y is 5. Let’s start with letting y = 4.
|21-5(4)|
|21-20|
|1| = 1
Next, let’s let y equal 5.
|21-5(5)|
|21-25|
|-4| =4
We see that the smallest possible value of |21-5y| is 1.
Answer B.

Question: Consider the equation K = (mv^2)/2.
If v and m are both doubled, by what factor is K increased?
A.2
B.6
C.8
D.10
Answer: C.8
Explanation: We have,
K = (mv^2)/2
On doubling both m and v,
K = [(2m)*(2v)^2]/2
K = (2m*4v^2)/2
K = (8mv^2)/2
K = 8*(mv^2)/2
Initially K = (mv^2)/2. After changing m and v, K = 8*(mv^2)/2
Hence, K increases by 8 times.

c flashes every 10 secs.
At certain time three flashes simultaneously.
after that calculate when the three lamps flashes simultaneously in 2 minutes.
take a L.C.M of three 6,8,10 sec then it is 120 secs.
so exactly after 2 minutes it flashes simultaneoulsy.
question stem asks exactly two lamps falshes .
take lcm of a and b .6 and 8 is 24 secs. so two lamp flashes 5times in 2minutes.
lcm of b and c . 8 and 10 secs is 40 secs. so both flashes 3times in 2minutes.
lcm of c and a ,6 and 10 secs is 30 secs . pair flashes 4times..
all three pairs flashes simultaenoulsy at 2 minutes. we have to minus one from all three pairs.
then 12-3=9.
so option C is correct

Question: A and B go cycling in the same direction with speeds of 6 km/hr and 12 km/hr. A car from behind passes them in 9 and 10 seconds respectively. What is the speed of the car?
A.22 km/hr
B.33 km/hr
C.66 km/hr
D.44 km/hr
Answer: C.66 km/hr
Explanation: Explanation:
The relative speed of A and B is 6 km/hr = 1.67 m/s
As the car passes A after 10s, the distance between A and B after 10s (i.e. at 11th second) is the distance covered by car in 1 second.
Therefore, at t = 11, d = 1.67 * 11
d = 18.33 m
v = d/t = 18.33/1 = 18.33m/s
v = 66 km/hr

Question: If the ratio of x to y is 3 to 5, then (y-x)/(x+y)?
A.-7/3
B.-2/8
C.2/8
D.1
Answer: C.2/8
Explanation: I believe this problem can be solved using algebra.
The ratio of x to y is 3 to 5 means
(x/y)=(3/5)
Cross-multiply
3x = 5y
x = (3/5)*y
Then, substitute x in the original equation in the problem with the value we just found.
(y - (3/5)*y) / ((3/5)*y + y)
= ((2/5)*y) / ((8/5)*y)
Simplify by canceling the y in the numerator with the y in the denominator.
(2/5) / (8/5)
= (2/5) * (8/5)
The 5s cancel each other out, and you are left with 2/8.

Question: The average weight of 50 students in a class is 52 kg. 5 of them whose average weight is 48 kg leave the class and other 5 students whose average weight is 54 kg join the class. What is the new average weight (in kg) of the class ?
A.51 1⁄3
B.52 3/5
C.52 5⁄3
D.43.42
Answer: B.52 3/5
Explanation: Total weight of 50 students
= 50 × 52 = 2340 kg
Total weight of 5 students who leave
= 5 × 48 = 240 kg
Total weight of 5 students who join
= 5 × 54 = 270 kg
Therefore, new total weight of 50 students
= 2600 – 240 + 270 = 2630
⇒ New average weight = 2630⁄50 = 52 3/5 kg

If the concentration of chemical B is increased by 100 percent, which of the following is closest to the percent change in the concentration of chemical A required to keep the reaction rate unchanged?
A.100% decrease
B.50% decrease
C.40% decrease
D.45% increase
Answer: D.45% increase
Explanation: CR = (A^2) * ( 1/B)
put any values
625 = 25*25
B increases by 100% so it becomes 50
CR remains same at 625
1/B becomes 50
so A^2 should be
625/50 = 12.5 or say decreased by 50%

Question: The ratio between the present ages of A and B is 5:3 respectively. The ratio between A's age 4 years ago and B's age 4 years hence is 1:1. What is the ratio between A's age 4 years hence and B's age 4 years ago?
A.1:3
B.2:3
C.3:1
D.4:1
Answer: C.3:1
Explanation: Let the present ages of A and B be 5x and 3x years respectively.
Then, (5x - 4)/(3x + 4) = 1/1
2x = 8 => x = 4
Required ratio = (5x + 4):(3x - 4) = 24:8 = 3:1
