Question: A family pays $900 per year for an insurance plan that pays 80 percent of the first $1,000 in expenses and 100 percent of all medical expenses thereafter. In any given year, the total amount paid by the family will equal the amount paid by the plan when the family's medical expenses total.
A.$1,000
B.$1,200
C.$1,300
D.$1,800
Answer: C.$1,300
Explanation: Upfront payment for insurance plan = 900$
Family needs to pay 20 % of first 1000 $ in expense = 200$
Total amount paid by family when medical expenses are equal to or greater than 1000 $ = 900 + 200 = 1100 $
Total amount paid by insurance plan for first 1000 $ = 900 $
Total amount paid by family will equal amount paid by plan when medical expense = 1300 $
(Since insurance plan will pay 100% of amount that exceeds 1100$ )

Question: There are 35 kids in a play school. 26 kids play with white color balls and some kids play with yellow color balls and 19 kids play with both color balls. How many kids use yellow color balls?
A.12
B.32
C.5
D.28
Answer: D.28
Explanation: Explanation :
n(AuB)= n(A) + n(B) - n(AnB)....(1)
n(A) = number of kids playing with white color balls = 26
n(AUB) = total number of kids in the play school = 35
n(AnB) = number of kids playing with both white and yellow color balls = 19
we have to find,
n(B) = number of kids playing with yellow color balls
From (1), 35 = 26 + n(B) - 19
n(B) = 35 + 19 - 26 = 28
Hence, Answer is 28 kids play with yellow color
balls.

Question: If the perimeter of square region D and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2:3 then the ratio of the area of R to the area of D
A.25:16
B.24:25
C.5:6
D.4:5
Answer: B.24:25
Explanation: We know Perimeter of a square (Pd) = 4*side
Perimeter of a rectangle (Pr) = 2(length+breath)
Let us assume 40 to be the perimeter of the square (since we know each side of a square is equal and the perimeter is divisible by 4, also take in to account the length and breadth of the rectangle is in the ration 2k:3k = 5k; we can assume such a number)
Therefore,
Pd = Pr = 40
Area of the square = 100 sq. units
We know 2(length+breadth) = 40
i.e. length + breadth = 20 (or 5k = 20 given that l:b (or b:l) = 2:3)
Therefore length = 8, breath = 12
Area of the rectangle = 8*12 = 96 sq. units
Question asked = Area of the rectangle : Area of the square = 96:100 ==> 24:25=B
Question: How many natural numbers are there between 43 and 200 which are exactly divisible by 6?
A.26
B.25
C.24
D.22
Answer: A.26
Explanation: 43/6 = 7, remainder = 1. Hence 5 more should be added to 43 to get the minimum
number divisible by 6 between 43 and 200.
=> Minimum number divisible by 6 between 43 and 200 = 43 + 5 = 48
200/6 = 33, remainder = 2. Hence 2 should be decreased from 200 to get the maximum
number divisible by 6 between 43 and 200.
=> Maximum number divisible by 6 between 43 and 200 = 200 - 2 = 198
Hence, natural numbers numbers divisible by 6 between 43 and 200 are 48, 54, 60,...198
This is Arithmetic Progression with a = 48, d = 6, l=198
Number of terms =(l−a)/d+1=(198−48)/6+1=150/6+1=25+1=26

Question: If G is to be chosen at random from the set {5,8,7,1} and K is to be chosen at random from the set {14,8,3}, what is the probability that GK will be even?
A.1
B.5
C.8
D.4
Answer: A.1
Explanation: Method-1
GK will be even when
1) G is even and K is odd, Probability of G even is (1/4) and Probability of K odd is (1/3), so Probability of Case(1) = (1/4)*(1/3) = (1/12)
2) G is Odd and K is Even, Probability of G Odd is (3/4) and Probability of K Even is (2/3), so Probability of Case(2) = (3/4)*(2/3) = (6/12)
3) G is even and K is Even, Probability of G even is (1/4) and Probability of K Even is (2/3), so Probability of Case(1) = (1/4)*(2/3) = (2/12)
Total Favorable Probability = (1/12)+(6/12)+(2/12) = (12/12) = 1

Question: The total of company C's assets in 1994 was 150% greater than the total in 1993, which in turn was 400% greater than the total in 1992. If the total of company C's assets in in 1992 was N dollars, which one of the following represents company C's assets in 1994:
A.7N
B.8N
C.9N
D.12.5N
Answer: D.12.5N
Explanation: Let's use actual numbers. Starting in 1992, let's say company C had $100 in assets.
In 1993, the total assets were 400% GREATER, which means 1992 PLUS 400% of 1992:
$100 + 4x$100 = $100 + $400 =$500
In 1994, the total assets were 150% GREATER than they were in 1993, which means 1993 PLUS 300% of 1993:
$500 + 1.5x$500 = $500 + $750 =$1250
This is 12.5 times the 1992 number, so the correct answer is 12.5N.

Question: Two teams are distributing information booklets. Team A distributes 60% more boxes of booklets than Team H, but each box of Team A’s has 60% fewer booklets than each box of Team H’s. Which of the following could be the total number of booklets distributed by the two groups?
A.2,000
B.3,200
C.4,100
D.4,800
Answer: C.4,100
Explanation: Let x be the no of booklets in each box that team H distributes. So, Team A has 60% fewer - 0.4x.
Let y be the no. of boxes distributed by team H. So, Team A distributes 60% more - 1.6y
Total booklets distributed by team A = xy
Total booklets distributed by team H=0.64xy
Total booklets distributed = xy+0.64xy=1.64xy
As no. of booklets can only be integer, plugging the answer choice equal to 1.64xy should give an integer.
Choice A - 1.64xy=2000; xy=2000/1.64 = doesn't provide an integer value.
Similarly all answer choices, except choice C, fail to provide an integer value.
Choice C = 4100/1.64= 2500 and is the correct answer.

Question: For arranging a picnic, each student contributed an amount equal to the number of students while the teacher contributed an amount equal to twice the number of students. However, if each student would have contributed an amount equal to twice the number of students and the teacher would have contributed an amount equal to the number of students, they would have generated Rs. 1056 more. Find the number of students in the group?
A.24
B.25
C.33
D.50
Answer: C.33
Explanation: Explanation:
Let the number of students = x. Thus, we get,
[(2x2 + x) – (x2 + 2x)] = 1056
x2 - x - 1056 = 0
Solving the equation, we get, x = 33 or x = - 32.
Since the number of students are to be positive, number of students = x = 33
ANSWER: C
Question: A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by C in two more days. If they get Rs. 3000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of A, B and C respectively (in Rs):
A.200, 250, 300
B.300, 200, 250
C.200, 300, 400
D.None of these
Answer: B.300, 200, 250
Explanation: Explanation:
A's 5 days work = 50%
B's 5 days work = 33.33%
C's 2 days work = 16.66% [100- (50+33.33)]
Ratio of contribution of work of A, B and C = 50:33 1/3 :16 2/3
= 3 : 2 : 1
A's total share = Rs. 1500
B's total share = Rs. 1000
C's total share = Rs. 500
A's one day's earning = Rs.300
B's one day's earning = Rs.200
C's one day's earning = Rs.250

Question: The smallest 3 digit prime number is?
A.101
B.103
C.109
D.113
Answer: A.101
Explanation: The smallest 3-digit number is 100, which is divisible by 2.
100 is not a prime number.
101 < 11 and 101 is not divisible by any of the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.
101 is a prime number.
Hence 101 is the smallest 3-digit prime number.

Question: If 5 gallons of gasoline are added to a tank that is already filled to 3/4 of its capacity, the tank is then filled to 9/10 of its capacity. How many gallons does the tank hold?
A. 20
B. 30
C. 36
D. 40
Answer: B. 30
Explanation: Let the Capacity of the tank=C
(3/4)C + 5 = (9/10)C
=>(9/10)C - (3/4)C = 5
=>(3/20)C = 5
=>C = (5*20)/3 = 33.33
Number of gallons of gasoline that the tank currently holds = 3/4*C +5 = 24.99+5 = 29.99=30

Question: Right triangle ABC is to be drawn in the xy-plane so that the right angle is at A and AB is parallel to the y-axis. If the x- and y-coordinates of A, B, and C are to be integers that are consistent with the inequalities -5 ≤ x ≤ 2 and 4 ≤ y ≤ 9 , then how many different triangles can be drawn that will meet these conditions?
A.54
B.1440
C.2,160
D.2,916
Answer: B.1440
Explanation: We have the rectangle with dimensions 9*5 (9 horizontal dots and 5 vertical). AB is parallel to y-axis and AC is parallel to x-axis.
Choose the (x,y) coordinates for vertex A: 9C1*5C1;
Choose the x coordinate for vertex C (as y coordinate is fixed by A): 8C1, (9-1=8 as 1 horizontal dot is already occupied by A);
Choose the y coordinate for vertex B (as x coordinate is fixed by A): 4C1, (5-1=4 as 1 vertical dot is already occupied by A).
9C1*5C*8C1*4C1=1440.

A.$526.31
B.527.31
C.516.31
D.528.31
Answer: A.$526.31
Explanation: Let C.P. be $x
Then 109% of x - 90% of x = 100
19% of x = 100
19/100 *X = 100
19x = 10000
x = 526.31
Answer is A
