Question: 6 men and 8 women can complete a work in 10 days. 26 men and 48 women can finish the same work in 2 days. 15 men and 20 women can do the same work in - days.
A.4 days
B.6 days
C.2 days
D.8 days
Answer: A.4 days
Explanation: Explanation :
Let work done by 1 man in 1 day = m and work done by 1 woman in 1 day = b
Work done by 6 men and 8 women in 1 day = 1/10
=> 6m + 8b = 1/10
=> 60m + 80b = 1 --- (1)
Work done by 26 men and 48 women in 1 day = 1/2
=> 26m + 48b = Â½
=> 52m + 96b = 1--- (2)
Solving equation 1 and equation 2. We get m = 1/100 and b = 1/200
Work done by 15 men and 20 women in 1 day
= 15/100 + 20/200 =1/4
=> Time taken by 15 men and 20 women in doing the work = 4 days

Question: A fruit shop on its opening in a day, had 400 mangoes and 600 oranges. If 57 percent of the mangoes and 42 percent of the oranges got sold during the day, what percent of the total number of planted fruits were sold ?
A. 45.5%
B. 46.5%
C. 48.0%
D. 49.5%
Answer: C. 48.0%
Explanation: 57% of 400 mangoes sold, hence 0.47*200 = 228 sold.
42% of 600 oranges sold, hence 0.42*600 = 252 sold.
Thus (germinated)/(total) = (228 + 252)/(400 + 600) = 480/1000 = 48% fruits sold.

II. n is divisible by 9
III. n is divisible by 36
A.I only
B.I and II only
C.I ,II and III only
D.II and III only
Answer: C.I ,II and III only
Explanation: Rule for divisibility by 3: The sum of the digits of the number should be multiple of 3
Rule for divisibility by 9: The sum of the nos digits of the number should be divisible by 9 or the number should be divisible by 3 two times.
Rules for divisibility by 36: The sum of the digits should a multiple of 36
Consider no 11111111...36 times = The sum 36*1=36----> divisbible by 3,9 and 36
consider number to be 222....36 times, then sum of the no. 36*2=72 divisibly by 3,9 and 36
So why so because when you sum the numbers either you can add the digits 36 times or multiply the digit *36..
Note that since 36 is divisble by 36,9 and 3 and thus the sum of the nos will be divisible by all the nos.

Question: A dishonest person wants to make a profit on the selling of milk. He would like to mix water (costing nothing) with milk costing 33 $ per litre so as to make a profit of 20% on cost when he sells the resulting milk and water mixture for 36$. In what ratio should he mix the water and milk?
A.1:20
B.1:10
C.1:8
D.1:4
Answer: B.1:10
Explanation: He needs to make a profit of 20%, which means he needs to sell the milk +water combination for 39.6 (20% of 33 +33)
Now, he plans to sell 1 liter of this solution of milk and water for 36. which means he needs to sell 1.1 liters of this solution to earn 39.6. (36 for 1 liter and so 39.6 for 1.1 liters)
Hence the water added would be .1 liter.
Therefore the ratio of water to milk is .1/1 = 1/10

Question: If k is a positive integer, which of the following must be divisible by 22?
A. (k – 4)(k)(k + 3)(k + 7)
B. (k – 4)(k – 2)(k + 3)(k + 5)
C. (k – 2)(k + 3)(k + 5)(k + 6)
D. (k + 1)(k + 3)(k + 5)(k + 7)
Answer: D. (k + 1)(k + 3)(k + 5)(k + 7)
Explanation: 22=11*2.
Note that the product of two consecutive even integers is always divisible by 8 (since one of them is divisible by 4 and another by 2). Only option B offers two consecutive even numbers for any integer value of k: k-4 and k-2, if k=even or k+3 and k+5 if k=odd.
Also from the following 3 consecutive integers:(k-4), (k-3),(k-2)one must be divisible by 3, if it's not k-4 or k-2 then it must be k-3 (if it's k-4 or k-2 option B is divisible by 3 right away). But if it's k-3 then (k-3)+6=k+3must also be divisible by 3.
So, option B: (k – 4)(k – 2)(k + 3)(k + 5) is divisible by 8 and 3 in any case.

Question: What is the units digit of 2222^(333)*3333^(444)?
A.0
B.2
C.4
D.6
Answer: C.4
Explanation: Each of the other explanations to this question has properly explained that you need to break down the calculation into pieces and figure out the repeatingpatternof the units digits.
Here's another way to organize the information.
We're given [(2222)^333][(3333)^222]
We can 'combine' some of the pieces and rewrite this product as....
([(2222)(3333)]^222) [(2222)^111]
(2222)(3333) = a big number that ends in a 6
Taking a number that ends in a 6 and raising it to a power creates a nice pattern:
6^1 = 6
6^2 = 36
6^3 = 216
Etc.
Thus, we know that ([(2222)(3333)]^222) will be a gigantic number that ends in a 6.
2^111 requires us to figure out thecycleof the units digit...
2^1 = 2
2^2 = 4
2^3 = 8
2^4 = 16
2^5 = 32
2^6 = 64
2^7 = 128
2^8 = 256
So, every 4powers, the pattern of the units digits repeats (2, 4, 8, 6.....2, 4, 8, 6....).
111 = 27 sets of 4 with a remainder of 3....
This means that 2^111 = a big number that ends in an 8
So we have to multiply a big number that ends in a 6 and a big number that ends in an 8.
(6)(8) = 48, so the final product will be a gigantic number that ends in an 4.
Final Answer:
C
Question: A man has Rs. 528 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and ten-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has ?

A.9
B.18
C.36
D.60
Answer: C.36
Explanation: Easiest way is to treat it like an arrangements question in the following manner:
From the boys we need to select 2 to be clown and pet: This can be done in 3*2 ways
Similarly for the girls, we have 6*5 ways.
Thus total = 30+6 = 36 ways. Thus C is the correct answer.

Question: A jar full of whisky contains 40% alcohol. A part of this whisky is replaced by another containg 19% alcohol and now the percentage of alcohol was found to be 22%. What quantity of whisky is replaced ?
A.1/3
B.2/3
C.2/5
D.3/5
Answer: D.3/5
Explanation: Let us assume the total original amount of whiskey = 10 ml ---> 4 ml alcohol and 6 ml non-alcohol.
Let x ml be the amount removed ---> total alcohol left = 4-0.4x
New quantity of whiskey added = x ml out of which 0.19 is the alcohol.
Thus, the final quantity of alcohol = 4-0.4x+0.19x ----> (4-0.21x)/ 10 = 0.26 ---> x = 20/3 ml.
Per the question, you need to find the x ml removed as a ratio of the initial volume ---> (20/3)/10 = 3/5.
Hence, D is the correct answer.

Question: For all positive integers f, f◎ equals the distinct pairs of positive integer factors. For example, 16◎ =3, since there are three positive integer factor pairs in 16: 1 x 16, 2 x 8, and 4 x 4.
What is the greatest possible value for f◎ if f is less than 100?
A.6
B.7
C.8
D.9
Answer: A.6
Explanation: I took numbers in reverse order from 99 and got 6 distinct pairs in 96.
I thought it may be because 96=(2^5*3) has (5+1)*(1+1)=12(perhaps maximum) factors.
1*96,2*48*4*24,8*12,16*6,32*3

Question: In a rectangular coordinate system, what is the area of a quadrilateral whose vertices have the coordinates (3,-1), (3, 8), (14, 2), (14,-5)?
A.76
B.88
C.100
D.112
Answer: B.88
Explanation: By graphing the points, we can see that this figure is a trapezoid. A trapezoid is any quadrilateral that has one set of parallel sides, and the formula for the area of a trapezoid is:
Area = (1/2) × (Base 1 + Base 2) × (Height), where the bases are the parallel sides.
We can now determine the area of the quadrilateral:
Area = 1/2 × (9 + 7) × 11 = 88.
The answer is B.
Question: It was calculated that 75 men could complete a piece of work in 20 days. When work was scheduled to commence, it was found necessary to send 25 men to another project. How much longer will it take to complete the work?
