Question: A not-so-good clockmaker has four clocks on display in the window. Clock #1 loses 17 minutes every hour. Clock #2 gains 15 minutes every hour relative to Clock #1 (i.e., as Clock #1 moves from 12:00 to 1:00, Clock #2 moves from 12:00 to 1:15). Clock #3 loses 20 minutes every hour relative to Clock #2. Finally, Clock #4 gains 20 minutes every hour relative to Clock #3. If the clockmaker resets all four clocks to the correct time at 12 noon, what time will Clock #4 display after 6 actual hours (when it is actually 6:00 pm that same day)?
A.5:00
B.5:34
C.5:42
D.6:00
Answer: B.5:34
Explanation: C1 loses 15 minutes every hour. So after 60 minutes have passed, C1 displays that 60-15 = 45 minutes have passed.
C2 gains 15 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on C1. Thus, the time displayed on C2 is 75/60 = 5/4 the time displayed on C1. So after 60 minutes have passed, C2 displays the passing of (5/4 * 45) minutes.
C3 loses 20 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on C2. Thus, the time displayed on C3 is 40/60 = 2/3 the time displayed on C2. So after 60 minutes have passed, C3 displays the passing of (2/3 * 5/4 * 45) minutes.
C4 gains 20 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on C3. Thus, the time displayed on C4 is 80/60 = 4/3 the time displayed on clock 3. So after 60 minutes have passed, C4 displays the passing of 4/3 * 2/3 * 5/4 * 45 = 50 minutes.
C4 loses 10 minutes every hour.
In 6 hours, C4 will lose 6*10 = 60 minutes = 1 hour.
Since the correct time after 6 hours will be 6pm, C4 will show a time of 6-1 = 5:34pm.
The correct answer is B.

Question: Kate made a deposit in a savings account that pays 5% compound interest annually two years ago. If her current account balance is $1,323, how much did she deposit in the account?
A.$1000
B.$1100
C.$1200
D.$1300
Answer: C.$1200
Explanation: We are given the final amount at the end of two years (i.e initial amount invested + interest) = $1323
Interest rate = 5%
No of Cycles = 2
A = P (1 +r)^n
1323 = P (1 + .05)^2
1323 = P (1 + 1/20)^2
1323 = P*(21/20)^2
Solving for P = 1200

Question: If the perimeter of square region Q and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2:3 then the ratio of the area of R to the area of Q
A.25:16
B.24:25
C.5:6
D.4:5
Answer: B.24:25
Explanation: We know Perimeter of a square (Pq) = 4*side
Perimeter of a rectangle (Pr) = 2(length+breath)
Let us assume 40 to be the perimeter of the square (since we know each side of a square is equal and the perimeter is divisible by 4, also take in to account the length and breadth of the rectangle is in the ration 2k:3k = 5k; we can assume such a number)
Therefore,
Pq = Pr = 40
Area of the square = 100 sq. units
We know 2(length+breadth) = 40
i.e. length + breadth = 20 (or 5k = 20 given that l:b (or b:l) = 2:3)
Therefore length = 8, breath = 12
Area of the rectangle = 8*12 = 96 sq. units
Question asked = Area of the rectangle : Area of the square = 96:100 ==> 24:25=B

Question: If john makes a contribution to a charity fund at school, the average contribution size will increase by 50% reaching $75 per person. If there were 1 other contributions made before john's, what is the size of his donation?
A.$100
B.$150
C.$200
D.$250
Answer: A.$100
Explanation: Cavg = average contribution before John
Cavg*1.5 = 75, therefore the average cont is $50 before John.
If he needs to increase the average contribution by $25, he must put in $25 for each of the 1 people.
so $25.
But, he also has to put in the average for himself (the twoth person), so add $75.
So $100 is your answer.

Question: Exactly 15% of the reporters for a certain wire service cover local politics in Country X. If 25% of the reporters who cover politics for the wire service do not cover local politics in Country X, what percent of the reporters for the wire service do not cover politics?
A.20%
B.42%
C.44%
D.80%
Answer: D.80%
Explanation: Let's assume there are 100 reporters --> 15 reporters cover local politics.
Now, as 25% of the reporters who cover all politics do not cover local politics then the rest 75% of the reporters who cover politics do cover local politics, so if there are x reporters who cover politics then 75% of them equal to 15 (# of reporters who cover local politics): 0.75x=15--> x=20, hence 20 reporters cover politics and the rest 100-20=80 reporters do not cover politics at all.

Question: Martha is 4 times the age of her daughter,Lyndra 4 years ago she was 8 times her daughters age,after how may years will martha be twice lyndra's age
A.14y
B.28y
C.7y
D.21y
Answer: A.14y
Explanation: Let m and l be the present ages of Martha and Lyndra
Then m=4l
4 years ago
(m-4)=8(l-4)
m = 8l-28
Equate "m"
4l = 8l - 28
4l = 28
l = 7
m = 28
After x years , Martha ll be twice of Lyndra
(m+x) = 2(l+x)
28+x = 2*7+2x
28+x = 14+2x
x = 14
So after 14 years martha and lyndra ages ll be 42 and 21

Question: Preeti covers a distance in 40 min , if she drives at a speed of 60 km/h on an average. Find the speed at which she must drive at to reduce the time of the journey by 50%.
A.60 km/h
B.70 km/h
C.117.64 km/h
D.100 km/h
Answer: C.117.64 km/h
Explanation: Given Speed = 60 Kmph.
It means Preeti covered 60 km in 60 min (1 hour). So, in 40 min he will cover 40 km.
50% time reduced = 40 - 50% of 40 = 20 min.
Thus, Preeti needs to cover 40 km in 20 min (0.34 hour).
Speed * Time = Distance.
Speed * 0.34 = 40
Speed = 117.64 kmph.
