Question: In a certain kindergarten, half of the children are allergic to peanuts, 10 children are not allergic to cashew nuts, 10 children are allergic to both peanuts and cashew nuts, and 18 children are allergic to cashew nuts. How many of the kindergarten's children are NOT allergic to peanuts and are NOT allergic to cashew nuts?
A.14
B.10
C.8
D.6
Answer: D.6
Explanation: We are given children allergic to cashew nuts as 18 and not allergic to cashew nuts as 10, so total =10+18=28...
Children allergic to both are 10...
18 are allergic to cashew nuts, so and half or 28/2=14 are allergic to peanuts..
So children allergic to at least one of the TWO are 18+14-10=22..
Therefore children NOT allergic to any of the TWO are 28-22=6

Question: If S is the least common multiple of 90,196, and 300, which of the following is NOT a factor of S?
A.600
B.700
C.900
D.2,100
Answer: A.600
Explanation: IF S is the least common multiple of 90,196 and 300, which of the following is NOT a factor of S?
A- 600
B- 700
C- 900
D- 2100
E- 4900
90 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 5
196 = 2 * 2 * 7 * 7
300 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5
LCM = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 7 * 7
(TWO 2, TWO 3, TWO 5, TWO 7)
600 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5
700 = 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 * 7
900 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5
2100 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 7
4900 = 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 * 7 * 7=A
Question: The velocity of a falling object in a vacuum is directly proportional to the amount of time the object has been falling. If after 5 seconds an object is falling at a speed of 50 miles per hour, how fast will it be falling after 12 seconds?
A.18 miles per hour
B.120 miles per hour
C.216 miles per hour
D.1080 miles per hour
Answer: B.120 miles per hour
Explanation: Since Velocity is proportional to Time
Velocity =k*Timewhere k is the constant of proportionality
Time= 5 seconds
Velocity = 5k = 50 miles per Hour
i.e. k = 10
i.e. The relation between Velocity and Time becomes
Velocity =10*Time
Time= 12 seconds
Velocity = 10*12 = 120 miles per hour
Answer: Option B
Question: If x ¤ y = (x + y)^2 - (x - y)^2. Then √6 ¤ √6 =
A.0
B.5
C.10
D.24
Answer: D.24
Explanation: X = √6 and Y also =√6
Applying the function (√6+√6)^2 - (√6-√6)^2 = (2√6)^2 - 0 = 4 x 6 = 24.
Note: Alternative Approach is the entire function is represented as X^2 - Y^2 = (X+Y)(X-Y) which can be simplified as (x+y+x-y)(x+y-(x-y)) = (2x)(2y)=4xy. Substituting x=√6 and y = √6 you get the answer 24.

Question: The ratio of men to women in the Snyder community choir is 4 to 6. The ratio of men to women in the Leigh community choir is 5 to 6. If the two choirs merged, the ratio of men to women in the combined choir would be 22 to 27. If Snyder has 4 more men and 6 more women than Leigh, how many women are in the Snyder choir?
A.20
B.24
C.32
D.35
Answer: B.24
Explanation: This question has a number of patterns in it that we can take advantage of. We can also TEST THE ANSWERS (but we can actually eliminate most of the answer choices rather quickly.
We're told that the ratio of the Men to Women in the Snyder choir is 4 to 6,so the number of men MUST be a multiple of 4 and the number of Women MUST be a multiple of 6. The question asks how many WOMEN are in the SNYDER choir, so the answer MUST be a multiple of 5. We can eliminate AnswersA,C, D and E (since they're NOT multiples of 6). That leaves only 1 possibilitiy

Question: What time will be taken by an amount of Rs. 900 to yield Rs. 81 as interest at 4.5% per annum of simple interest?
A.2 years
B.1 years
C.3 years
D.4 years
Answer: A.2 years
Explanation: Explanation:
P= Rs 900
Rate = 4.5*
SI= Rs 81
=> SI= Time*P*rate
calculating for rate,
=> Time= SI/rate*P
= 81/4.5%*900
=> 2 years
Thus, it will take 2 years to yield Rs 81.

Question: One used-car salesperson receives a commission of $ 200 plus 3 percent of $ 1,000 less than the car’s final sale price. Another car salesperson earns a straight commission of 6 percent of the car’s final sale price. What is the final sale price of a car if both salespeople would earn the same commission for selling it?
A.$ 5,000
B.$ 6,000
C.$ 8,000
D.$ 10,000
Answer: D.$ 10,000
Explanation: This question can be solved by TESTing THE ANSWERS.
We're given the pay rate of two different salespeople who sell cars:
1) A commission of $ 200 plus 4 percent of $ 1,000 less than the car’s final sale price.
2) A straight commission of 6 percent of the car’s final sale price.
We're asked for the final sale price of a car if both salespeople would earn the SAME commission for selling it?
Let's TEST Answer B: $6,000
1st salesperson = $200 + .04(6,000 - 1,000) = $200 + .04(5,000) = $200 + $200 = $400
2nd salesperson = .06(6,000) = $360
These totals are NOT the same, so we can eliminate B. Looking at the two pay 'formulas', we can see that the 2nd salesperson will make more money than the 1st when the price of the car increases to a significant level, so we need a price that is HIGHER than $6,000. Since the difference in pay is relatively small in Answer B, we're likely looking for a number that is fairly close to $6,000 though...
Let's TEST Answer C: $8,000
1st salesperson = $200 + .04(8,000 - 1,000) = $200 + .04(7,000) = $200 + $280 = $480
2nd salesperson = .06(8,000) = $480
These totals are the SAME, so this must be the answer.

Question: A sum of Rs.42000 is divided into three parts such that the simple interests accrued on them for three, six and seven years respectively may be equal. Find the amount deposited for 6 years.
A.9000
B.5000
C.14000
D.7000
Answer: D.7000
Explanation: Let the amounts be x, y, z in ascending order of value. As the interest rate and interest accrued are same for 3 years 6 years and 7 years i.e. 3x = 6y = 7z = k.
L.C.M. of 3,6,7 = 42 So x:y:z: = 14000 : 7000 :6000
The amount deposited for 6 years = 7000

Question: A bullet train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 25 seconds. If the speed of the bullet train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
A.165 m
B.220 m
C.260 m
D.224 m
Answer: A.165 m
Explanation: A
165 M
Speed = 54 x 5/18 = 15 m/s
Length of the bullet train = (15 x 25)m = 375 m.
Let the length of the platform be x metres.
Then, (x + 375)/36 = 15
--> x + 375 = 540
x = 165m. A

Question: If the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 40 more than the average of these numbers, then the largest of these numbers is?
A.20
B.24
C.22
D.26
Answer: C.22
Explanation: Explanation:
Let the smallest of these number be x. The other two numbers are (x + 2) and (x + 4).
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = (X + (X+2) + (x+4)) / 3 + 40
3x + 3*(x + 2) + 3*(x + 4) = x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + 120
9x + 18 = 3x + 126
6x = 108
x = 18
Therefore, the largest number is 22.

Question: The number of arrangements that can be made with the letters of the word MEADOWS so that the vowels occupy the even places?
A.766
B.144
C.166
D.416
Answer: B.144
Explanation: The word MEADOWS has 7 letters of which 3 are vowels.
-V-V-V-
As the vowels have to occupy even places, they can be arranged in the 3 even places in 3! i.e., 6 ways. While the consonants can be arranged among themselves in the remaining 4 places in 4! i.e., 24 ways.
Hence the total ways are 24 * 6 = 144.

Question: Earl can stuff advertising circulars into envelopes at the rate of 36 envelopes per minutes and Ellen requires a minutes and half to stuff the same number of envelops.Working together,how long will it take Earl and Ellen to stuff 180 envelopes
A.6 minutes
B.5 minutes
C.7 minutes
D.3 minutes
Answer: D.3 minutes
Explanation: earl takes 1 min. for 36 envelopes.
ellen takes 3/2 mins for the same. so ellen can stuff ((36)/(3/2)) in 1 min. i.e., 24 envelopes a min.
so both of them when work together can stuff 36+24=60 envelopes in 1 min.
for 180 envelopes they will take 180/60 mins. i.e., 3 mins.

Question: Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?
A.12a.m
B.10a.m
C.09a.m
D.06a.m
Answer: B.10a.m
Explanation: Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km.
Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km.
Therefore 20x + 25(x - 1) = 110
45x = 135
x = 3.
So, they meet at 10 a.m.

Question: After allowing a discount of 15% on the marked price, the selling price is Rs. 6800 for an article. If it was sold at marked price, there would have been a profit of 60%. The cost price of the article is?
A.3347
B.2788
C.5000
D.2787
Answer: C.5000

Marked price = [SP(100)]/(100 - d%) = (6800 * 100)/(100 - 15) = Rs. 8000
If SP = Rs. 8000, profit = 60%
CP = [SP(100)]/(100 + 60) = (8000 * 100)/160 = Rs. 5000
