Question: Fox jeans regularly sell for $15 a pair and Pony jeans regularly sell for $18 a pair. During a sale these regular unit prices are discounted at different rates so that a total of $6 is saved by purchasing 5 pairs of jeans: 3 pairs of Fox jeans and 2 pairs of Pony jeans. If the sum of the two discounts rates is 18 percent, what is the discount rate on Pony jeans?
A.9%
B.10%
C.11%
D.35%
Answer: D.35%
Explanation: You know that Fox jeans costs $15, and Pony jeans costs $18, you also know that 3 pairs of Fox jeans and 2 pairs of Pony jeans were purchased. So
3(15) = 45 - Fox
2(18) = 36 - Pony
The total discount discount is $6 and you are asked to find the percent discount of pony jeans,
so 45(18 - X)/100 + 36(X)/100 = 6 or 45*18 -45*x + 36*x =6*100 or 9x = -6*100 +45*18
x=210/6= 35%

Question: A dealer offers a cash discount of 20%. Further, a customer bargains and receives 20 articles for the price of 15 articles. The dealer still makes a profit of 20%. How much percent W above the cost price were his articles marked?
A.100%
B.80%
C.75%
D.66+2/3%
Answer: A.100%
Explanation: Good question...2:11 min
Marked Price (M) = Cost Price (C) + Mark up...(EQN. A)
Selling price = 20% Discount over M = 0.8*M
Given that, a customer bargains and receives 20 articles for the price of 15 articles-->*afurther loss of 25%to the dealer--> BUT aNET PROFIT of 20%over cost price (C)
0.75* 0.8 * M =1.2 * C
Hence, M/C = 2/1 = 200%=W
From Eqn. A , (C + Mark up)/C = 200% -->Mark up / C = 100%
Ans. A

Question: In the xy-plane, the point (2, 1) is the center of a circle. The point (-2, 1) lies inside the circle and the point (2, -5) lies outside the circle. If the radius r of the circle is an integer, then r =
A.6
B.5
C.4
D.3
Answer: B.5
Explanation: An easy way to solve this question will be just to mark the points on the coordinate plane.
You'll see that the distance between the center (2, 1) and the point inside the circle (-2, 1) is 4 units
(both points are on y=1 line so the distance will simply be 2-(-2)=4)
So the radius must be more than 4 units.
The distance between the center (2,1) and the point outside the circle (2,-5) is 6 units
(both points are on x=2 line so the distance will simply be 1-(-5)=6)
So the radius must be less than 6 units, which implies 4 < r < 6, thus as r is an integer then r=5.
Answer: B.
Question: If there are 30 red and blue marbles in a jar, and the ratio of red to blue marbles is 3:2, what is the probability that, drawing twice, you will select two red marbles if you return the marbles after each draw?
A.1/25
B.2/25
C.6/25
D.9/25
Answer: C.6/25
Explanation: 30 red and blue marbles in a jar, and the ratio of red to blue marbles is 3:2
So, 5x=30 ---> x=6
Red marbles = 3*x = 3*6 = 18
Blue marbles = 2*x = 2*6 = 12
Prob to select a red marble = 18/30 = 3/5
Prob to select 2 red marbles with replacement = 3/5*2*5 = 6/25
Hence, answer will be C.

C.100
D.110
Answer: A.120
Explanation: The 1st envelope can be filled up in 6 ways.
The 2nd envelope can be filled up in 5 ways and the 3rd envelope can be filled up in 4 ways.
Therefore, by the principle of association, the three envelopes can be filled up in 6 x 5 x 4 = 120 ways
ANSWER:A
Question: In a certain year, the population of a certain town was 9000. If in the next year the population of males increases by 5% and that of the females by 8% and the total population increases to 9600, then what was the ratio of population of males and females in that given year?
A.4 : 5
B.5 : 4
C.2 : 3
D.Data inadequate
Answer: A.4 : 5
Explanation: Let the population of males = x; then the population of females = 9000 – x
Now, 5% of x + 8% of (9000 – x)
= (9600 – 9000 ) = 600
or 0.05x + 720 – 0.08x = 600
or 720 – 600 = 0.08x – 0.05x
or, 120 = 0.03x
x = 4000
Reqd ratio of population of males and females
4000/9000−4000=4000/5000=4:5

Question: In a competitive examination in State A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates. State B had an equal number of candidates appeared and 7% candidates got selected with 82 more candidates got selected than A. What was the number of candidates appeared from each State?
A.8400
B.8200
C.6000
D.5000
Answer: B.8200
Explanation: State A and State B had an equal number of candidates appeared.
In state A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates
In state B, 7% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates
But in State B, 82 more candidates got selected than State A
From these, it is clear that 1% of the total appeared candidates in State B = 82
=> total appeared candidates in State B = 82 x 100 = 8200
=> total appeared candidates in State A = total appeared candidates in State B = 8200

Question: A container holding 12 ounces of a solution that is 1 part alcohol to 2 parts water is added to a container holding 4 ounces of a solution that is 1 part alcohol to 3 parts water. What is the ratio of alcohol to water in the resulting solution?
A.2:5
B.3:7
C.3: 5
D.5:11
Answer: D.5:11
Explanation: Container 1 has 12 ounces in the ratio 1:2
or,
x+2x=12 gives x(alcohol)=4 and remaining water =8
container 2 has 4 ounces in the ratio 1:3
or,
x+3x=4 gives x(alcohol)=1 and remaining water =3
mixing both we have alcohol=4+1 and water =8+3
ratio thus alcohol/water =5/11

Question: A man can do a piece of work in 5 days, but with the help of his son he can do it in 2 days. In what time can the son do it alone ?
A.7 1/2 days
B.6 1/2 days
C.5 1/3 days
D.3 1/3 days
Answer: D.3 1/3 days
Explanation: Explanation:
In this type of question, where we have one person work and together work done. Then we can easily
get the other person work just by subtracting them. As
Son's one day work =
(1/2−1/5)=(5−2)/10=3/10
So son will do whole work in 10/3 = 3 1/3 days
