Question: Lisa and Robert have taken the same number of photos on their school trip. Lisa has taken 3 times as many photos as Claire and Robert has taken 12 more photos than Claire. How many photos has Claire taken?
A.6
B.8
C.10
D.12
Answer: A.6
Explanation: Explanation:
L = R
L = 3C
R = C + 12
We can substitute R for L in the second equation: R = 3C. If R is equal to both 3C and C + 12, we can say 3C = C + 12, and solve for C.
3C = C + 12
2C = 12
C = 6

Question: A red ant is sitting on one side of a table (point X) and a black ant is sitting on the opposite side of the table (point Y). Now both of them decides to exchange their places and starts crawling. On the way, both of the ants meet and after that, it takes 20 seconds for the Red ant to move to point Y and it takes 5 seconds for the Black ant to reach point X.
Find out the total time taken by the Red and the Black ant to make the journey.
A.30 and 15 seconds
B.10 and 15 seconds
C.20 and 15 seconds
D.25 and 15 seconds
Answer: A.30 and 15 seconds
Explanation: Solution:
Let the speed of red ant be R.
Speed of Black ant be B.
Time at which they cross their paths be T.
Now we will apply the basic formula of distance
Distance = Speed * Time
The Red ant travels R * T distance before meeting and R * 20 after meeting.
The Black ant travels B * T distance before meeting and B * 5 after meeting.
Now as per the question,
The distance traveled by red ant before they both meet will be equal to the distance covered by black ant after they meet. We can say the same for the vice versa case as well.
Thus
R * T = B * 5 and B * T = R * 20
Using both the quations
T = 10
Thus the red ant will require 10 + 20 = 30 seconds to travel the distance.
And the black ant will take 10 + 5 = 15 seconds to travel the distance.

Question: In the recent, religious conference in India, out of 1100 men, 900 women, 600 children present inside the building premises, 50% of the men, 40% of the women and 30% of the children were Christian. Find the percentage of people who were not Christian?
A.58.08%
B.59.23%
C.55.23%
D.63.25%
Answer: A.58.08%
Explanation: Solution: Number of Christian men present there = 1100*50/100 = 550
Christian women = 900*40/100 = 360
Christian children = 600*30/100 = 180.
Total member present in religious conference = 1100+900+600 = 2600
Total Christian = 550+360+180 = 1090
Hence, % of Christian present there = 1090*100/2600 = 41.92%
% of people who were not Christian = 100-41.92 = 58.08%.

Question: Michelle deposited a certain sum of money in a savings account on July 1st, 2007. She earns an 12% interest compounded semiannually. The sum of money in the account on December 31st, 2009 is approximately what percent of the initial deposit?
A.117%
B.120%
C.121%
D.133%
Answer: D.133%
Explanation: Since Michelle earns 12% interest compounded semiannually, then she earns 6% interest every 6 months.
Now, the simple interest earned in 5 periods (30 months = 5*6 months) would be 6%*5=30%. But, since the interest iscompoundedevery 6 months, then there would be interest earned on interest (very small amount) thus the actual interest earned would be a little bit more than 30%, only answer choice D fits.

Question: A bag contains equal number of 25 paise, 50 paise and one rupee coins respectively. If the total value is Rs 105, how many types of each type are present?
A.75 coins
B.60 coins
C.30 coins
D.25 coins
Answer: B.60 coins
Explanation: EXPLANATION:
Bag consists of 25 paise, 50 paise and 1 rupee (100 paise) so the ratio becomes 25 : 50 : 100 or 1 : 2 : 4
Total value of 25 paise coins =(1 / 7 ) x 105 = 15
Total value of 50 paise coins = (2 / 7) x 105 = 30
Total value of 100 paise coins = (4 / 7) x 105 = 60
No. of 25 paise coins = 15 x 4 = 60 coins
No. of 50 paise coins = 30 x 2 = 60 coins
No. of 1 rupee coins = 60 x 1 = 60 coins
Therefore, there are 60 number of coins of each type.

Question: A plane flies 420 miles with the wind and 350 miles against the wind in the same length of time. If the speed of the wind is 23 mph, what is the speed of the plain in still air?
A.253 mph.
B.275 mph.
C.296 mph.
D.278 mph.
Answer: A.253 mph.
Explanation: The speed of the plane in still air = x miles/hour
The speed of the wind is 23 mph
Speed with the wind = (x + 23) mph
Speed against the wind = (x – 23) mph
Time = Distance/ Speed
According to the problem,
420/(x + 23) = 350/(x – 23)
420(x – 23) = 350(x + 23)
420x – 9660 = 350x + 805
420x – 350x = 8050 + 9660
70x = 17710
x = 17710/70
x = 253
Therefore, the speed of the plane in still air = 253 mph.

Question: A lump of two metals weighing 18 g is worth Rs. 87 but if their weight is interchanged, it would be worth Rs. 78.60. If the price of one metal be Rs. 6.70 per gram, find the weight of the other metal in the mixture.
A.8g
B.12g
C.15g
D.18g
Answer: A.8g
Explanation: Solution: Cost of (18 g of 1st metal + 18 g of 2nd metal) = Rs. 165.60
Cost of (1 g of 1st metal + 1 g metal of 2nd metal) = Rs. 9.20
Hence cost of 1 g of 2nd metal,
= 9.20 - 6.70
= Rs. 2.5
Mean price = Rs. 87/18
quantity of 1st metal /quantity of 2nd metal = 14/6:56/30 = 5:4
Quantity of 2nd metal = (18*4)/9 = 8 g.

A.5%
B.10%
C.20%
D.25%
Answer: C.20%
Explanation: Let A,B,C and D individual tickets be X and total tickets is 4X..
Now with Kelly they get a discount , total tickets here is 5x.
We are told that group discount is same as total price without discount..
When we need to solve 5X till we get 4X..
Take options..5X - 5%(5X) = 5x - (0.05)(5X) = 5x - 0.25X = 4.75X...not same as 4X..
(B) 5X - 10% of 5x => 5x - (0.1)(5x) = 4.5X, which is again not equal to 4x. So, this is not the correct option.
(C) 5X - 20% of 5x => 5x - (0.2)(5x) = 4X, this is same as 4X...no need to do other options..

Answer: B.120
Explanation: n th term of A.P. is given by a+(n-1)d
4 th term = a+3d
12 th term = a+11d
Given a+3d+a+11d=20 --> 2a+14d=20 --> a+7d = 10
Sum of n term of A.P = n/2[2a+(n-1)d]
subsitiuing n = 12 ...we get 12/2[ 2a + 14d] = 15 [a+7d] = 12*10 = 120...
Answer is B...

If 24% of the total students passed 4 topics only and 500 students passed in 3 topics only, find the total number of students who appeared in the examination?
A.2500
B.2000
C.1600
D.4545
Answer: A.2500
Explanation: DETAILED SOLUTION
Let the number of appearing students be 100.
Pass only in 0 topic – 10
1 – 16 (20% of 80)
2 – 20 (25% of 80)
3 – 20% (100 – (16+20+24+20))
4 – 24%
5 – 20%
Therefore, 20% of x = 500 = ) x = 2500

Question: Two men Amar and Bhuvan have the ratio of their monthly incomes as 6 : 5. The ratio of their monthly expenditures is 3 : 2. If Bhuvan saves one-fourth of his income, find the ratio of their monthly savings?
A.3 : 5
B.3 : 10
C.3 : 8
D.1 : 2
Answer: B.3 : 10
Explanation: Let the monthly incomes of Amar and Bhuvan be 6x and 5x respectively.
Let the monthly expenditure of Amar and Bhuvan be 3y and 2y respectively.
Savings of Bhuvan every month = 1/4(5x)
= (His income) - (His expenditure) = 5x - 2y.
=> 5x = 20x - 8y => y = 15x/8.
Ratio of savings of Amar and Bhuvan
= 6x - 3y : 1/4(5x) = 6x - 3(15x/8) : 5x/4 = 3x/8 : 5x/4
= 3 : 10.

Question: 24 oz of juice P and 25 oz of juice W are mixed to make smothies X and Y . The ratio of p to W in smothie X is 4 is to 1 and that in Y is 1is to 5.How many ounces of juice P are contained in the smothie X?
A.5
B.10
C.15
D.20
Answer: D.20
Explanation: Easy way to solve this question is start from the answer and then conform the information provided in the question.
we can start from option D i.e 20 ... as a quantity of juice P in X because it is the only one option that gets divided by 4 is 20 ... since in the X the juice P to W ratio is 4:1
this gives us that quantity of juice P in X = 20 therefore quantity of Juice W will be 5 ... hence ratio = 4:1
This will lead to quantity of juice P in X = 4 and quantity of Juice W = 20 ... hence ratio 1:5
if we calculate total Juice P = 24 and total of juice W = 25
it fits because totals are same as what mentioned in the question ...
thus ans is D
