A.18
B.15
C.16
D.20
Answer: A.18
Explanation: 10 litres of mixture that is replaced will contain 6 litres of A and 4 litres of B (as A:B = 3:2)
Let the initial volume of the mixture be 3K + 2K = 5K
So by condition ,
[ 3K-6 ]/ [ 2K-4+10 ] = 2/3 9k-18 =4k-8+20 5 k= 12+18 k = 6
Solve for K which is K = 6
So initial volume of liquid A = 3K = 18 litres

Question: A sum of money is to be divided among Ann, Bob and Chloe. First, Ann receives $4 plus one-half of what remains. Next, Bob receives $4 plus one-third of what remains. Finally, Chloe receives the remaining $32. How much money R did Bob receive?
A.20
B.22
C.24
D.26
Answer: B.22
Explanation: Notice that we need not consider Ann's portion in the solution. We can just let K = the money REMAINING after Ann has received her portion and go from there.
Our equation will use the fact that, once we remove Bob's portion, we have $32 for Chloe.
So, we getK - Bob's $ = 32
Bob received 4 dollars plus one-third of what remained
Once Bob receives $4, the amount remaining is K-4 dollars. So, Bob gets a 1/3 of that as well.
1/3 of K-4 is (K-4)/3
So ALTOGETHER, Bob receives4 + (K-4)/3
So, our equation becomes:K -[4 + (K-4)/3 ]= 32
Simplify to get: K - 4 - (K-4)/3 = 32
Multiply both sides by 3 to get: 3K - 12 - K + 4 = 96
Simplify: 2K - 8 = 96
Solve: K = 52
Plug this K-value intoK - Bob's $ = 32to get: 52 - Bob's $ = 32
So, Bob's $ R= 20

Question: How many numbers between 0 and 1770 have a prime tens digit and a prime units digit?
A.266
B.272
C.278
D.284
Answer: D.284
Explanation: From 1-9 there are 4 prime numbers {2, 3, 5, 7}. The 10s and 1s of the number must be made with these numbers. The total number of combinations is 4*4 = 16. Thus every set of 100 consecutive positive integers has 16 such numbers.
From 0 to 1700, there 16*17 = 272 such numbers.
From 1701 to 1770, the 10s units can only use 3 numbers {2, 3, 5}. 3*4 =12.
The total number is then 272+12 = 284
The answer is D.

Question: A man invests Rs. 5,000 at the rate of 5% per annum. How much more should he invest at the rate of 8%, so that he can earn a total of 6% per annum?
A.Rs. 1200
B.Rs. 1300
C.Rs. 2500
D.Rs. 2000
Answer: C.Rs. 2500
Explanation: Explanation :
Interest on Rs.5000 at 5% per annum = ( 5000 × 5 × 1) / 100 = Rs. 250
Let his additional investment at 8% = x
Interest on Rs.x at 8% per annum = ( x × 8 × 1 ) / 100 = 2x/25.
To earn 6% per annum for the total, interest = (5000 + x) × 6 × 1/100.
=> 250 + 2x/25 = (5000 + x) × 6 × 1/100.
=> 25000 + 8x = (5000 + x) × 6.
=> 25000 + 8x = 30000 + 6x.
=> 2x=5000.
=> x=2500.

Question: On dividing a certain number by 5, 7 and 8 successively, the remainders obtained are 2, 3 and 4 respectively. When the order of division is reversed and the number is successively divided by 8, 7 and 5, the respective remainders W will be:[/b]
A.3, 3, 2
B.3, 4, 2
C.5, 4, 3
D.W=5, 5, 2
Answer: D.W=5, 5, 2
Explanation: Let the original number be X. Then by the successive dividing we have followings :
X=5A+2
A=7B+3
B=8C+4.
So we have A=7*(8C+4)+3=7*8C+31, and X=5*(7*8C + 31)+2 = 5*7*8C + 157.
Now by dividing X by 8, 7, 5 successively we have followings :
X=8*(5*7C+19)+5
5*7C+19=7*(5C+2) + 5
5C+2=5C+2.
The remainders are, therefore, 5, 5, 2.

Question: Each light bulb at a hotel is either incandescent or fluorescent. At a certain moment, thirty percent of the incandescent bulbs are switched on, and eighty percent of the fluorescent bulbs are switched on. If 40 percent of all the bulbs are switched on at this moment, what percent of the bulbs that are switched on are incandescent?
A.20%
B.40%
C.50%
D.60%
Answer: D.60%
Explanation: Let I be the number of incandescent bulbs.
Let F be the number of fluorescent bulbs.
0.3I + 0.8F = 0.4(I+F)
0.4F = 0.1I
F = 0.25I
This means that for every 4 incandescent bulbs, there is 1 fluorescent bulb.
The percent of bulbs that are switched on which are incandescent is:
0.3I / (0.3I + 0.8F) = 0.3I / (0.3I + 0.8*0.25I) = 0.3I / 0.5I = 3/5 = 60%.
The answer is D.

Question: Tough and Tricky questions: Coordinate Geometry.
Line L contains the points (2,3) and (e,q). If q = 2, which of the following could be the equation of line m, which is perpendicular to line L?
A. 2x + y = ex + 7
B. 2x + y = –ex
C. x + 2y = ex + 7
D. y – 7 = x ÷ (e – 2)
Answer: A. 2x + y = ex + 7
Explanation: we need m=e-2, so we should gety=mx+bform in answer choices
(A) 2x+y=ex+7 => y=ex-2x+7 => y=x(e-2)+7. It is what we need
(B) 2x + y = –ex => y=-ex-2x => y=x(-e-2). Wrong
(C) x + 2y = ex + 7 => y=x(e-1/2)+7/2. Wrong
(D) y – 7 = x ÷ (e – 2) => y=(1/e-2)x+7. Wrong
(E) 2x + y = 7 – ex => y=-ex-2x+7 => y=x(-e-2)+7. Wrong

If they will go up the mountain at a rate of 3 miles per day and it will take them two days, how many miles long is the route down the mountain?
A.7
B.8
C.9
D.10
Answer: C.9
Explanation: On the way down, the rate is 1.5*3 = 4.5 miles per day.

The answer is C.
Question: A rectangular park 60 m long and 40 m wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park and rest of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is 2109 sq. m, then what is the width of the road?
A.2.91 m
B.3 m
C.5.82 m
D.4.65 m
Answer: B.3 m
Explanation: Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2.
Area of the lawn = 2109 m2.
Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2.
Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,
60x + 40x - x2 = 291
x2 - 100x + 291 = 0
(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
Answer: Option B
x = 3.
Question: A man is facing west. He turns 45 degree in the clockwise direction and then another 180 degree in the same direction and then 270 degree in the anticlockwise direction. Find which direction he is facing now ?

Question: It is required to seat 5 boys and 4 girls in a row so that the girls occupy the even places. How many such arrangements are possible?
A.2880
B.2148
C.3680
D.3280
Answer: A.2880
Explanation: Total number of candidates = 5 + 4 = 9. In the row of 9 positions, the even places are 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th.
Now, number of even places = 4.
Number of girls to occupy the even places = 4.
Even places can be filled = P (4, 4) ways.
Number of boys = 5.
The remaining 5 places can be filled by 5 boys = P (5, 5) ways
By the fundamental principle of counting:
The required number of seating arrangements
P(4, 4) x P(5, 5) = 4! x 5! = 24 x 120 = 2,880

Question: The price of 10 chairs is equal to that of 4 tables. The price of 15 chairs and 2 tables together is Rs. 4000. The total price of 12 chairs and 3 tables is:
A.1500
B.3900
C.2600
D.3100
Answer: B.3900
Explanation: Explanation:
Let the cost of a chair and that of a table be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
Then, 10x =4y or y=5/2x.
15x + 2y = 4000
15x + 2 x	5/2x = 4000
20x = 4000
x = 200.
So, y =5/2x 200= 500.
Hence, the cost of 12 chairs and 3 tables = 12x + 3y
= Rs. (2400 + 1500)
= Rs. 3900.
Answer is B
Question: Let q represent the integer length of a side of a triangle. If r represents the number of distinct values for q such that we can create a triangle with lengths q, 14, and 19, what is the value of r?
A.20
B.21
C.26
D.27
Answer: D.27
Explanation: From the triangle inequality rule, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. So, the three inequalities are:
1. q + 14 > 19
2. 14 + 19 > q
3. q + 19 > 14
Equation 3 is true for any positive value of q.
From equation 1, q > 5
From equation 2, 33 > q
Then 33 > q > 5 so q can be any value from 6 to 32 inclusive.
The number of possible values is 27.
The answer is D.
