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 80 more candidates got selected than A. What was the number of candidates appeared from each State?
A.7000
B.8000
C.8800
D.8900
Answer: B.8000
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, 80 more candidates got selected than State A
From these, it is clear that 1% of the total appeared candidates in State B = 80
=> total appeared candidates in State B = 80 x 100 = 8000
=> total appeared candidates in State A = total appeared candidates in State B = 8000

Question: Mary travels the first 9 hours of her journey at 40 mph speed and the remaining 6 hours at 30 mph speed. What is the average speed of Mary's travel in mph?
A.32 mph
B.34 mph
C.36 mph
D.35 mph
Answer: C.36 mph
Explanation: Explanation :
Average speed=Total Distance/Time.
Total distance travelled by mary = Distance covered in the first 9 hours + Distance covered in the next 6 hours.
Distance covered in the first 9 hours = 9Ã—40=360 miles
Distance covered in the next 6 hours= 6Ã—30=180 miles
Therefore, total distance travelled = 360+180=540 miles.
The total time taken = 9+6=15hours.
Hence, the average speed =540/15= 36 mph.

Question: If x^6 > x^9 > x^7, which of the following could be the value of x?
A.-6
B.-1/2
C.2
D.1/2
Answer: B.-1/2
Explanation: x^6 > x^7 > x^9
1)Here we have an even power of a variable (x) that is greater than both a larger odd power of the variable x and a smaller odd power of the variable x.
This can be possible only if the base is negative; therefore, the variable, x, must be a negative number.
2) Now if the variable x is negative, the higher power results in a smaller number if x<-1, and a higher power results in a larger number if 0>x>-1.
With this information, we know that x is a negative number between 0 and -1; therefore, B (-1/2) is the only option.
Question: A furniture manufacturer has two machines, but only one can be used at a time.

A.14
B.13
C.11
D.9
Answer: D.9
Explanation: 'Approximately' could actually make such a question ambiguous. Not this one though but a similar question with the answer as 9.2 days. You round off 8.89 days as 9 days and everything is fine in this question. What do you do when you get 9.2 days? Do you need 9 days or 10 days? Can you round off 9.2 as 9 even though that is what you do with numbers? No, because in 9 days your work is not over. You do need 10 days.
To finish a work say Machine K you need to work full 9 days and a part of the 10th day. If I ask you how many days do you need to complete the work, will you say 9 or 10? You will say 10 even if you don't use the 10th day fully=D

Question: A man rows to a place 48 km distance and back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is:
A.1 km/hr
B.2.5 km/hr
C.3 km/hr
D.4 km/hr
Answer: A.1 km/hr
Explanation: Sol.
Suppose he moves 4 km downstream in x hours. Then,
Speed downstream = [4/x] km/hr, Speed upstream = [3/x] km/hr.
∴ 48/(4+x) + 48/(3/x) = 14 or x = 1/2.
So, Speed downstream = 8 km/hr, Speed upstream = 6 km/hr.
Rate of the stream = 1/2 (8-6) km/hr = 1 km/hr.

Question: Which of the following inequalities is equivalent to 11 - 11x > 133?
A. x > -2
B. x > -1
C. x > -3
D. x > -11
Answer: D. x > -11
Explanation: You can work with the inequality in the same way as you do when you have the equal to sign. You can take terms to the other side by flipping their sign, you can multiply/divide the inequality by the same term on both sides of the equation etc.
The only important thing to note is the following:
When you multiply/divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality flips.
To illustrate,
11 - 11x > 133
11x > -122 (Correct)
x > -11 (Correct)
the correct option is D

Question: A person covered one-fourth of the total distance at 14 kmph and remaining distance at 24 kmph. What is the average speed for the total distance?
A.20 (4/11)kmph
B.21 (4/11)kmph
C.21 (7/3)kmph
D.27 (7/3)kmph
Answer: A.20 (4/11)kmph
Explanation: Let the total distance be x km
total time taken = (x/4)/14 + (3x/4)/24 = x/56 + x/32 = 11x/224
Average speed = x/(11x/224) = 224/11kmph
= 20 (4/11)kmph.

Question: A squirrel can climb 5 metres of a pole in one minute but slips 2 metres in the next minute. How much time will the squirrel take to climb 26 metres?
A.15 minutes
B.18 minutes
C.12 minutes
D.58 minutes
