Question: The ratio of the incomes of A and B is 2:3 and the ratio of their expenditure is 1:2. If at the end of the year, each saves $500 then the income of A is?
A.$1000
B.$1500
C.$1200
D.$900
Answer: A.$1000
Explanation: Let the income of A and B be $2x and $3x
Let their expenditures be $y and $2y
2x-y = 500-------1)
3x-2y = 500-------2)
From 1) and 2)
x = 500
A's income = 2x = 2*500 = $1000

Question: John and Cindy were each given X dollars in advance for each day they were expected to perform at a community festival. John eventually performed on all 20 days of the festival, while Cindy performed on 5 fewer days than John performed. If Cindy gives John y dollars of her advance payment so that they would have each received the same daily rate, what was John paid in advance, in terms of Y?
A.8Y
B.7Y
C.10Y
D.12Y
Answer: B.7Y
Explanation: Both of them were given X $ each
Cindy to adjust Y $ in advance to John
So Cindy now has (X-Y)$ and John has (X+Y) $ such that their daily rate becomes same
So Rate of CIndy= Rate of John
Also , Cindy works for 15 days and John works for full 20 days
(X-Y) / 15 = (X+Y) / 20
Solving 20x-20y=15x+15y =>5x=35y => x=35/5y
X= 7Y

Question: The ages of Patrick and Michael are in the ratio of 3 : 5 and that of Michael and Monica are in the ratio of 3 : 5. If the sum of their ages is 145, what is the difference between the ages of Patrick and Monica?
A.27
B.48
C.45
D.72
Answer: B.48
Explanation: Ages of P and Mi=3x+5x
Ages of Mi and Mo=3x:5x
Rationalizing their ages. ratio of their ages will be 9x:15x:25x
Sum=47x=145
x=3
Difference if ages of Pa and Mo=25x-9x=16x=16*3=48
Answer B
Question: Adam's mother is 26 years older than him. Next year, however, she will be 3 times older than her son. How old is Adam's mother?
A.35 years
B.36 years
C.37 years
D.38 years
Answer: D.38 years
Explanation: At the present
Adam is x years old.
Adam's mother is y=x+26 years old.
Next year
Adam will be x+1 years old.
Adams mother will be y+1=3 (x+1) years old.
If we combine the two equations,
y=x+26, and
y+1=3 (x+1), then
x+26+1=3x+3
2x=27-3
2x=24
x=12
This is Adam's age at the moment. Since his mother is 26 years older than him, her age is 12+26=38.

A. compounding annually
B. compounding quarterly
C. compounding daily
D. compounding monthly
Answer: C. compounding daily

This process will be repeated every day till the amount matures
Compounding annually will give least returns
Question: What is the probability that the sum of two dice will yield a 9, and then when both are thrown again, their sum will again yield a 9? assume that each die has 8 sides with faces numbered 1 to 8.
A.1/64
B.1/36
C.1/12
D.1/6
Answer: A.1/64

Question: The number of students in 3 classes is in the ratio 2:3:4. If 12 students are increased in each class this ratio changes to 8:11:14. The total number of students in the three classes in the beginning was
A.162
B.108
C.96
D.54
Answer: A.162
Explanation: Solution: Let the number of students in the classes be 2x, 3x and 4x respectively;
Total students = 2x+3x+4x = 9x.
According to the question,
(2x+12)/(3x+12) = 8/11
24x+96 = 22x+132
Or, 2x = 132-96
Or, x = 36/2 = 18
Hence, Original number of students,
9x = 9*18 = 162.

Question: Find a 5-digit integer whose value is equal to the sum of the factorials of its own digits.
A.40585
B.41585
C.42585
D.44585
Answer: A.40585
Explanation: factorial values from 0 to 9
0!=1
1!=1
2!=2
3!=6
4!=24
5!=120
6!=720
7!=5040
8!=40320
9!=362880 now given that it is a 5 digit number
so we can eliminate 9! from the count.
but
0-9 numbers can be arranged in 5 digit numbers in 9x9x9x9x9=59049(if repetition)
If not:
9x8x7x6x5=15120
by crosscheck we can eliminate numbers with 1,2,3,6,7,8,9 numbers in twice or thrice or more
40585
4!+0!+5!+8!+5!= 24 + 1 + 120 + 40320 + 120
= 40585

Question: A line has a slope of 3/4 and intersects the point (-12, -39). At which point E does this line intersect the x-axis?
A.(40,0)
B.(30,0)
C.(0,40)
D.(40,30)
Answer: A.(40,0)
Explanation: Assume that the equation of the line is y=mx+c, where m and c are the slope and y-intercept.
You are also given that the line crosses the point (-12,-39), this means that this point will also lie on the line above.
Thus you get -39=m*(-12)+c , with m=3/4 as the slope is given to be 3/4.
After substituting the above values, you get c = -30.
Thus the equation of the line is y=0.75*x-30 and the point where it will intersect the x-axis will be with y coordinate = 0.
Put y=0 in the above equation of the line and you will get, x=40.
Thus, the point E of intersection is (40,0).
A is the correct answer.
Question: There can be myriad ways to create a palindrome. One day, I thought of making my own palindrome. I thought of a number and then decided to add the reversed number to it. Sadly, I did not get a palindrome.
So I kept repeating this step and eventually I succeeded in creating a palindrome. I don't know if you can always create a palindrome using this method but I was able to generate one of four digits.
Can you tell me the number at which I started?
A.192
B.130
C.185
D.167
Answer: A.192
Explanation: A
192
I started with the number 192.
Adding the reversed 291 to 192 gave me 483.
Similarly,
483 + 384 = 867
867 + 768 = 1635
1635 + 5361 = 6996

Question: A box contains four gold coins, of which two coins have heads on both their faces, one coin has tail on both its faces and the fourth coin is a normal one. A coin is picked at random and then tossed. If head is the outcome of the toss, then find the probability that the other face (hidden face) of the coin tossed is also a head.
A.4/5
B.3/5
C.2/5

How many ways can you get heads from this entire set of coins? There are five ways (four as identified above and one from the normal coin)
Therefore probability = (number of ways to get heads from a two-headed coin)/(number of ways to get heads from any coin)
= 4/5

Question: 12500 shares, of par value Rs. 20 each, are purchased from Ram by Mohan at a price of Rs. 25 each. If Mohan further sells the shares at a premium of Rs. 11 each, find his gain in the transaction.
A.75000
B.76000
C.77000
D.74000
Answer: A.75000
Explanation: Face value of each share = Rs.20
Market value of each share = Rs.25
Number of shares = 12500
Amount required to purchase the shares = 12500 × 25 = 312500
Mohan further sells the shares at a premium of Rs. 11 each
ie, Mohan further sells the shares at Rs.(20+11) = Rs.31 per share
total amount he gets by selling all the shares = 12500 × 31 = 387500
His gain = 387500 - 312500 = Rs.75000

A.6
B.6.6
C.60
D.100
Answer: A.6
Explanation: [Reveal]Spoiler:
TimeB: 660/x
TimeQ: [660/x+10]
660/x = [660/x+10] *110/100
660/x =66*11/x+10
660x+10= 66*11*x
660x +6600 = 66*11*x
x= 100
plug in back to timeQ
660/100+10 => 660/110 = 6=A

Question: Find how many positive integers less than 10,000 are there suchthat the sum of the digits of the no. is divisible by 3?
A.2367
B.2456
C.2799
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: Jim bought edging to go around a circular garden with a radius of 3 feet. Later he decided to
double the diameter of the garden. How many more feet of edging must he buy?
A.28.84' additional edging
B.48.84' additional edging
C.38.84' additional edging
D.18.84' additional edging
