Question: Two consultants can type up a report in 12.5 hours and edit it in 7.5 hours. If Mary needs 30 hours to type the report and Jim needs 12 hours to edit it alone, how many W hours will it take if Jim types the report and Mary edits it immediately after he is done?
A.41.4
B.34.1
C.13.4
D.12.4
Answer: A.41.4
Explanation: Break down the problem into two pieces: typing and editing.
Mary needs 30 hours to type the report--> Mary's typing rate = 1/30 (rate reciprocal of time)(point 1 in theory below);
Mary and Jim can type up a report in 12.5and --> 1/30+1/x=1/12.5=2/25 (where x is the time needed for Jim to type the report alone)(point 23 in theory below)--> x=150/7;
Jim needs 12 hours to edit the report--> Jim's editing rate = 1/12;
Mary and Jim can edit a report in 7.5and --> 1/y+1/12=1/7.5=2/15 (where y is the time needed for Mary to edit the report alone) --> y=20;
How many W hours will it take if Jim types the report and Mary edits it immediately after he is done--> x+y=150/7+20=~41.4

Question: Matt gets a $1,300 commission on a big sale. This commission alone raises his average commission by $150. If Matt's new average commission is $400, how many sales has Matt made?
A.3
B.4
C.5
D.6
Answer: D.6
Explanation: Let, Average Commission = x
No. of items sold = y
Total Commission = xy
New Commission = xy+1300
New Average = (xy+1300) / (y+1) = 150+x
i.e. (xy+1300) = (y+1)* (150+x)
i.e. (xy+1300) = (xy+x+150y+150)
i.e. (1150) = (x+150y)
New Commission = 400 = 150+x
i.e. x=250
i.e. y = 6
New Sales = y+1 = 7

Answer: C.270/7
Explanation: The angles of the triangle are 7x, 3x, and (7x-3x)=4x for some value x (due to the ratio) [note that 3x is the smallest angle]
the angles of a triangle add up to 180, so
7x+3x+4x=180
14x=180
x=180/14
x=90/7
the smallest angle is 3x so 3*(90/7) = 270/7

Explanation: Since we're not given a distance to work with, we can TEST any distance that we like. Here, since the speeds are 12 km/hour and 10 km/hour, using a multiple of both 12 and 10 would make the math easiest.
Let's set the Distance up the hill at 60 km.
So, going school, we have....
D = (R)(T)
60 = (5)(T)
60/12 = 5 = T
5 hours to go school
Going home, we have....
D = (R)(T)
60 = (10)(T)
60/10 = 6 = T
6 hours to go home
Total Distance = 120 km
Total Time = 5+6 = 11 hours
Average Speed = 120/11 = 10.9 km/hour

Question: What least value must be assigned to * so that the number 197*5462 is r 9 ?
A.2
B.4
C.6
D.8
Answer: A.2
Explanation: Let the missing digit be x.
Sum of digits = (1 + 9 + 7 + x + 5 + 4 + 6 +»2) = (34 + x).
For (34 + x) to be divisible by 9, x must be replaced by 2 .
Hence, the digit in place of * must be 2.
Answer is A.
Question: If 20 men can build a water fountain 56 metres long in 6 days, what length of a similar water fountain can be built by 35 men in 3 days?
A.40 m
B.44 m
C.47 m
D.49 m
Answer: D.49 m
Explanation: Explanation :
Let the required length be x metres
More men, More length built (Direct Proportion)
Less days, Less length built (Direct Proportion)
Men 20: 35
Days 6: 3 : : 56 : x
Therefore (20 x 6 x x)=(35 x 3 x 56)
x=(35 x 3 x 56)/120=49
Hence, the required length is 49 m.

A.38 1/3%
B.33 1/7%
C.33 1/3%
D.33 8/3%
Answer: C.33 1/3%
Explanation: 1/4 CP = 210 SP = 21*(80/100) = 168
SP = 840*(120/100) = 1008
1008 - 168 = 840
3/4 SP = 630
Gain = 210
630 --- 210
100 --- ? => 33 1/3%

Question: Jane covered a distance of 320 miles between city A and city B taking a total of 5 hours. If part of the distance was covered at 60 miles per hour speed and the balance at 80 miles per hour speed, how many hours did she travel at 60 miles per hour?
A.2 hours 30 minutes
B.3 hours
C.2 hours
D.1 hour 45 minutes
Answer: C.2 hours
Explanation: Answer
Let Jane travel 'x' at 60 miles per hour.
As the total time taken to cover 340 miles is 5 hours, Jane would have traveled (5 - x) hours at 80 miles per hour.
Distance covered at 60 miles per hour = Speed * time = 60 * x = 60x miles.
Distance covered at 80 miles per hour = Speed * time = 80 (5 - x) = 400 - 80x miles.
Total distance covered = Distance covered at 60 miles per hour + Distance covered at 80 miles per hour.
Therefore, total distance = 60x + 400 - 80x.
Total distance travelled = 340 miles.
Therefore, 320 = 60x + 400 - 80x
20x = 40 or x = 2 hours.

Question: Helen went to the stationers and bought things worth Euro 25, out of which 30 paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
A.Euro 15
B.Euro 15.7
C.Euro 19.7
D.Euro 20
Answer: C.Euro 19.7
Explanation: Explanation: Let the amount taxable purchases be Euro x.
Then, 6% of x = 30/100
x = (30/100 x 100/6) = 5.
Cost of tax free items = Euro [25 - (5 + 0.30)] = Euro 19.70
Answer: Option C
Question: A train has a length of 150 meters . it is passing a man who is moving at 5 km/hr in the same direction of the train, in 3 seconds. Find out the speed of the train.
A.182 km/hr
B.180 km/hr
C.185 km/hr
D.169 km/hr
Answer: C.185 km/hr
Explanation: Explanation:
Length of the train, l = 150m
Speed of the man , Vm= 5 km/hr
Relative speed, Vr = total distance/time = (150/3) m/s = (150/3) × (18/5) = 180 km/hr
Relative Speed = Speed of train, Vt - Speed of man (As both are moving in the same direction)
=> 180 = Vt - 5
=> Vt = 180 + 5 = 185 km/hr
