Question: A box contains 3 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If two marbles are drawn at random, what is the probability that at least one is green?
A.23/35
B.23/38
C.23/15
D.22/35
Answer: A.23/35
Explanation: Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles.
Probability that at least one green marble can be picked in the random draw of two marbles = Probability that one is green + Probability that both are green
= (6C1 * 9C1)/15C2 + 6C2/15C2
= (6 * 9 * 2)/(15 * 14) + (6 * 5)/(15 * 14) = 36/70 + 1/7
= 46/70 = 23/35

Question: In a bag, there are six 6-sided dice (numbered 1 to 6), three 12-sided dice (numbered 1 to 12), and two 20-sided dice (numbered 1 to 20). If four of these dice are selected at random from the bag, and then the four are rolled and we find the sum of numbers showing on the four dice, how many different possible totals are there for this sum?
A.42
B.60
C.61
D.84
Answer: C.61
Explanation: As 'complex-looking' as this question might appear, it's actually rather simple. Pay careful attention to what the specific questions asks for - the number of DIFFERENT possible SUMS from 4 dice. Since we're dealing with some 'special' dice (some 12-sided and 20-sided dice), we have to adjust out math accordingly, but the possibilities are rather limited:
1) The minimum number on any given die is 1
2) The maximum possible sum would only occur if we took the 4 biggest possible dice and rolled the highest possible number on each.
With 4 dice, we could end up with any SUM between:
4 (if we rolled 1s on all 4 dice)
to
64 (if we rolled two 20s on the 20-sided dice and two 12s on the 12-sided dice).
Thus, there are only 61 possible sums.

Question: A cyclist rides a bicycle 7 km at an average speed of 10 km/hr and again travels 10 km at an average speed of 7 km/hr. What is the average speed for the entire trip?
A.7.59
B.7.79
C.7.99
D.8.19
Answer: C.7.99
Explanation: distance = 17 km
time = 7/10 + 10/7 = (49 + 100) / 70 = 149 / 70 hours
average speed = (17 * 70) / 149 = 7.99 km/h
The answer is C.
Question: Last year, for every 100 million vehicles that traveled on a certain highway, 80 vehicles were involved in accidents. If 4 billion vehicles traveled on the highway last year, how many of those vehicles were involved in accidents? (1 billion = 1,000,000,000)
A.1600
B.3200
C.800
D.400
Answer: B.3200
Explanation: To solve we will set up a proportion. We know that “100 million vehicles is to 80 accidents as 4 billion vehicles is to x accidents”. To express everything in terms of “millions”, we can use 4,000 million rather than 4 billion. Creating a proportion we have:
100/80 = 4,000/x
Cross multiplying gives us:
100x = 4,000 * 80
x = 40 * 80 = 3200

Question: Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time which they take to cross each other is?
A.10.7
B.10.9
C.10.2
D.10.8
Answer: D.10.8
Explanation: Relative speed = 60 + 40 = 100 km/hr.
= 100 * 5/18 = 250/9 m/sec.
Distance covered in crossing each other = 140 + 160 = 300 m.
Required time = 300 * 9/250 = 54/5
= 10.8 sec.

Question: The volume of the sphere QQ is (dfrac{37}{64}%)less than the volume of sphere PP and the volume of sphere RR is (dfrac{19}{27}%) less than that of sphere QQ. By what is the surface areaof sphere RR less than the surfacearea of sphere PP?
A.56%
B.68%
C.75%
D.85%
Answer: C.75%
Explanation: Let the volume of sphere PP be 64 parts.
Therefore volume of sphere QQ
=64−3764%=64−3764% of 6464
=64−37=27=64−37=27 parts.
The volume of RR
=27−1927×27=27−1927×27
=27−19=8=27−19=8 parts.
Volume ratio:
=P:Q:R=64:27:8=P:Q:R=64:27:8
Radius ratio:
=P:Q:R=4:3:2=P:Q:R=4:3:2
The surface area will be 16:9:516:9:5
Surface area of RR is less than the surface area of sphere PP
16k−4k=12k16k−4k=12k
Now,
=12k16k×100=12k16k×100
=75%=75%
Thus surface area of sphere RR is less than the surface area of sphere P by 75%

Question: On January 1, 2076, Lake Loser contains x liters of water. By Dec 31 of that same year, 2/7 of the x liters have evaporated. This pattern continues such that by the end of each subsequent year the lake has lost 2/7 of the water that it contained at the beginning of that year. During which year will the water in the lake be reduced to less than 1/4 of the original x liters?
A.2077
B.2078
C.2079
D.2080
Answer: D.2080
Explanation: The answer is D
here is the long explanation
This fraction problem contains anunspecifiedtotal (the x liters of water in the lake). Pick an easysmartnumber to make this problem easier. Usually, the smart number is the lowest common denominator of all the fractions in the problem. However, if you pick 28, you will quickly see that this yields some unwieldy computation.
The easiest number to work with in this problem is the number 4. Let's say there are 4 liters of water originally in the lake. The question then becomes: During which year is the lake reduced to less than 1 liter of water?
At the end of 2076, there are 4 × (5/7) or 20/7 liters of water in the lake. This is not less than 1.
At the end of 2077, there are (20/7) × (5/7) or 100/49 liters of water in the lake. This is not less than 1.
At the end of 2078, there are (100/49) × (5/7) or 500/343 liters of water in the lake. This is not less than 1.
At the end of 2079, there are (500/343) × (5/7) or 2500/2401 liters of water in the lake. This is not less than 1.
At the end of 2080, there are (2500/2401) × (5/7) or 12500/16807 liters of water in the lake. This is less than 1.
Notice that picking the number 4 is essential to minimizing the computation involved, since it is very easy to see when a fraction falls below 1 (when the numerator becomes less than the denominator.) The only moderately difficult computation involved is multiplying the denominator by 7 for each new year.
The correct answer is D.

Question: It takes eight hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car. It takes 20 minutes more, if 200 km is done by train and the rest by car. The ratio of the speed of the train to that of the cars is:
A.2 : 3
B.3 : 2
C.3 : 4
D.4 : 3
Answer: C.3 : 4
Explanation: Let the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr.
Then, 120/x + 480/y = 8 --> 1/x + 4/y = 1/15 ------ (i)
Also, 200/x + 400/y = 25/3 --> 1/x + 2/y = 1/24 ----(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60 and y = 80.
--> Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4.

Question: Rohit invests a sum of money at compound interest which doubles itself in 3 years, find in how many years will it amount to four times itself ?
A.6
B.7
C.8
D.9
Answer: A.6
Explanation: Explanation:
Case (I) When Time (T) = 3 years, principle P becomes 2P.
Therefore, amount = 2P
A = P (1 + R/100)T
2P = P (1 + R/100)3
(1 + R/100)3 = 2
(1 + R/100) = 3√2 -------- (A)
(III) Find T for which P becomes 4P
When Time = X and Amount = 4P
4P = P (1 + R/100)X
(1 + R/100)X = 4
(1 + R/100) = 41/X --------- (B)
Equating (A) and (B) we get,
41/X = 3√2 = 21/3
22/X = 21/3
2/X = 1/3
X = 6 years

Question: Jackie has two solutions that are 4 percent sulfuric acid and 12 percent sulfuric acid by volume, respectively. If these solutions are mixed in appropriate quantities to produce 60 liters of a solution that is 5 percent sulfuric acid, approximately how many liters of the 12 percent solution will be required?
A.18
B.20
C.24
D.33.75
Answer: D.33.75
Explanation: let a=amount of 4% acid and b= amount of 12% acid.
Now, The equation translates to,
0.04a + .12b = .05(a+b)
but a+b= 60
therefore .04a + .12b = .05(60)
=> 4a + 12b = 300
but b=60-a
therefore
4a+ 12(60-a) = 300
=> 16a = 420
hence a = 26.25.b= 60-26.25 = 33.75

Question: The Kiljaro Highway is marked with Milestones denoting the distance to the town of Kiljaro. Tommy left kiljaro and drove the highway, passing the 20 km milestone at 8:30. Some time afterwards, Tommy got a phone call asking him to return home, and he made a U-turn at the 160 km milestone. At 09:A0 Tommy passed the milestone marking 70 km to Kiljaro. The variable A represents the tens digit of the minutes in 09:A0. Assuming Tommy maintained the same constant speed during the entire drive, how many kilometers did Tommy travel in one minute?
A.230/(30+10A)
B.230/(30+60A)
C.230/38A
D.220/(30+10A)
Answer: A.230/(30+10A)
Explanation: Since we are dealing with the variables in the answer choices,the best possible method according to me would besubstitution.
Substitute A with 3.meaning tommy would have travelled a distance of ((160-20) + (160-70)) in 60 minutes.
230 Kms in 60 minutes ==> 3.8km/hr.
Substitute A with 3 in the answer options.
Option A
Question: A certain sum amounts to Rs.1600 in 4 years and Rs.1900 in 7 years. Find the rate % per annum?
A.9.33%
B.7.33%
C.5.33%
D.8.33%
Answer: D.8.33%
Explanation: 4 --- 1600
7 --- 1900
--------------
3 --- 300
N = 1 I = 100 R = ?
P = 1600 - 400= 1200
100 = (1200*1*R)/100
R = 8.33%

Question: Points A, B, and, C have xy-coordinates (2,0), (8,12), and (14,0), respectively. Points X, Y, and Z have xy-coordinates (6,0), (8,4), and (10,0), respectively. What fraction Q of the area of triangle ABC is the area of triangle XYZ?
A. 1/9
B. 1/8
C. 1/6
D. 1/5
Answer: A. 1/9
Explanation: If you notice, both triangles ABC and XYZ have a side on X axis. we can take these sides as bases for each triangle, therefore
Area of ABC is 1/2*12*12 (Height of ABC is the y coordinate of the third point (8,12))
similarly Area of XYZ is 1/2*4*4
dividing area of XYZ with that of ABC gives Q=1/9.A

Question: There are 600 students in a school. The ratio of boys and girls in this school is 3:5. Find the total of girls & boys are there in this school?
A.265
B.276
C.375
D.387
Answer: C.375
Explanation: In order to obtain a ratio of boys to girls equal to 3:5, the number of boys has to be written as 3 x and the number of girls as 5 x where x is a common factor to the number of girls and the number of boys. The total number of boys and girls is 600. Hence
3x + 5x = 600
Solve for x
8x = 600
x = 75
Number of boys
3x = 3 × 75 = 225
Number of girls
5x = 5 × 75 = 375
C
Question: For a,f,d are the positive integers, and d|a means that “a is divisible by d”, if d|af, which of the following must be true?
A.d|a
B.d|f
C.d|2af
D.d|(a+f)
Answer: C.d|2af
Explanation: d/a means a is divisible by d
d/af means af divisible by d.
all are integers so ,
if af is divisible by d,
1 a can be divisible by d
or
2 f can be divisble by d.
so the question stem asks must true.
so option a and b are could but not must.
option c is 2af divisible by d. if ab is divisible by d then 2af is divisible by d.
option d and e we can't predict.
so option C is correct.
