A.5/8
B.1/5
C.6/11
D.3/11
Answer: C.6/11
Explanation: A square with an area of 4 has a perimeter of 8.
For the area to be >4, the longer piece must be >8.
The wire must be cut within 3 meters from either end.
The probability of this is 6/11.
The answer is C.
Question: The size of the obtuse angle of a rhombus is twice the size of its acute angle. The side length of the rhombus is equal to 10 feet. Find its area.
A.90.56 ft.sq
B.87.5 ft.sq
C.86.6 ft.sq
D.75.85 ft.sq
Answer: C.86.6 ft.sq
Explanation: A rhombus has 2 congruent opposite acute angles and two congruent opposite obtuse angles. One of the properties of a rhombus is that any two internal consecutive angles are supplementary. Let x be the acute angle. The obtuse angle is twice: 2x. Which gives the following equation.
x + 2 x = 180 degrees.
Solve the above equation for x.
3x = 180 degrees.
x = 60 degrees.
We use the formula for the area of a triangle that uses the side lengths and any one of the angles then multiply the area by 2.
area of rhombus = 2 (1 / 2) (10 feet) 2 sin (60 degrees)
= 86.6 feet square (rounded to 1 decimal place)
Answer is C

A.28
B.27
C.15
D.19
Answer: C.15
Explanation: Total members in the group = 7
Average amount = Rs. 20
Total amount with them = 7 * 20 = Rs. 140
One number has Rs. 50. So, the amount with remaining 6 people = 140 - 50 = Rs. 90
The average amount with them = 90/6 = Rs. 15.

Question: The ratio between the number of sheep and the number of horses at the Stewart farm is 5 to 7, If each horse is fed 230 ounces of horse food per day and the farm needs a total 12,880 ounces of horse food per day, what is the number of sheep in the farm?
A.18
B.28
C.40
D.56
Answer: C.40
Explanation: Let the number of sheeps and horses be 4x and 7x.
Now total number of horses = total consumption of horse food/consumption per horse = 12880/230 = 56, which is equal to 7x. => x = 8
Sheeps = 5x = 5*8 = 40. Hence C.

Question: A paint crew gets a rush order to paint 80 houses in a new development. They paint the first y houses at a rate of x houses per week. Realizing that they'll be late at this rate, they bring in some more painters and paint the rest of the houses at the rate of 1.25x houses per week. The total time C it takes them to paint all the houses under this scenario is what fraction of the time it would have taken if they had painted all the houses at their original rate of x houses per week?
A. 0.8(80 – y)
B. 0.8 + 0.0025y
C. 80/y – 1.25
D. 80/1.25y
Answer: B. 0.8 + 0.0025y
Explanation: This may be a case of bad numberpicking but it worked for me.
80 houses. Let's say that y=40 houses are painted at the rate x=10 houses per week <=> 1/10 week per house. 40*1/10 = 4 houses per week will be painted at this rate.
80-y = 80-40 = 40 houses are to be painted at the faster rate. X*1,25=12,5 houses per week <=> 1/12,5 weeks per house * 40 houses = 40/12,5 = 80/25 = 320/100 = 3,2 weeks.
Which means finishing all houses at normal rate C=> 2*4 = 8 weeks. Faster rate = 4+3,2 = 7,2 weeks.
7,2/8 = 9/10 = 0,9. Insert y=40 in equations and it is clear that only (B) gives us 0,9.
Question: X can finish a work in 21 days. Y can finish the same work in 15 days. Yworked for 10 days and left the job. how many days does X alone need to finish the remaining work?
A.3
B.5
C.7
D.8
Answer: C.7
Explanation: Work done by X in 1 day = 1/21
Work done by Y in 1 day = 1/15
Work done by Y in 10 days = 10/15 = 2/3
Remaining work = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
Number of days in which X can finish the remaining work = (1/3) / (1/21) = 7

Question: There were 36,000 hardback copies of a certain novel sold before the paperback version was issued. From the time the first paperback copy was sold until the last copy of the novel was sold 9 times as many paperback copies as hardback copies were sold. If a total of 436,000 copies of the novel were sold in all, how many paperback copies were sold?
A.45,000
B.360,000
C.364,500
D.392,000
Answer: B.360,000
Explanation: Say x was the # of hardback copies sold from the time the first paperback copy was sold.
Then the total # of paperback copies sold was 9x;
Hence the total # of copies sold was (hardback)+(paperback)=(36+x)+(9x)=436 --> x=40.
So, the total # of paperback copies sold was 9x=9*40=360 or 360,000.

C.s.396
D.s.368
Answer: C.s.396
Explanation: (A = 2/3 B and B = 1/4 C) = A/B = 2/3 and B/C = 1/4
A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 1:4 = 3:12
A:B:C = 2:3:12
A;s share = 561 * 2/17 = Rs. 66
B's share = 561 * 3/17 = Rs. 99
C's share = 561 * 12/17 =Rs.396.

Question: What is the value of n if the sum of the consecutive odd intergers Y from 1 to n equals 169?
A.47
B.25
C.37
D.33
Answer: B.25
Explanation: Before you tackle this question you must first understand that the question is comprised of two key parts, 1st is finding out how manytermsis in that sequence and 2nd whatactual number valuethat term is. In an arithmetic progression, in this case consecutive odd integers 1, 3, 5, ...., there are two set of rules.
Rule #1 (Arithmetic Sequence): xn = a + d(n-1) Identifies what the actual # in the sequence would be. Each number in the sequence has a term such as 1(is the first term), 3(is the second term) and so on. So if I were to ask you to find out what the 10th term is of that sequence you would use that formula to find that value.
a=1 (first term)
d=2 (the common difference) remember in the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7 the common difference is always 2
*On a side note we use n-1 because we don't have d in the first term, therefore if we were solving for the first term we would get 0 as n-1 and 0 times d would give us 0, leaving only the first term. This works regardless what your first term is in any sequence.
But remember the question asksWhat is thevalueof n if the sum of the consecutive odd integers from 1 to n equals 169?which means we first need a consecutive sequence that sums up to 169 and than find what the value of the n is, in this case it would be the last number in that sequence. In order to find that we first need to knowhow many terms(how many of the n there is) in order to be able to plug n in this formula given we know what the sum is. For that to happen we need to use Rule #2.
Rule #2 (Summing an arithmetic series): 169 = n/2(2a+(n-1)d). Given the question gives us what the sum is (169 in this case) we would simply use this formula to solve for n. Once we solve for n (13 in this case) we can simply plug n into the first formula (rule 1) and find the value.
It feels very confusing and difficult at first, but once you identify the steps all you need to do is plug and play. We have the sum (169) of a sequence, the number of terms in that sequence is (unknown). Rule #2 tells us how many numbers there are in that sequence and Rule #1 gives us what that last term is.

Question: In a certain region, the number of children who have been vaccinated against rubella is twice the number who have been vaccinated against mumps. The number who have been vaccinated against both is twice the number who have been vaccinated only against mumps. If 7,000 have been vaccinated against both, how many have been vaccinated only against rubella?
A.2,5000
B.7,500
C.10,000
D.14,000
Answer: D.14,000
Explanation: Use a single variable as far as possible.
Number vaccinated only against mumps = x
Number vaccinated against both = 2x = 7000 (so x = 3500)
Then, number vaccinated against mumps (including both) = x + 2x = 3x
Number vaccinated against rubella = 2*3x = 6x
Then, number vaccinated against only rubella = 6x - 2x = 4x = 4*3500 = 14,000

Question: If the average of 8x and 8y is greater than 120, and x is twice y, what is the least integer value of x ?
A.20
B.25
C.30
D.32
Answer: A.20
Explanation: Substitution can be used in the following way:
Always start with the equation: x = 2y. It is more straight forward to manage as compared to the inequality.
Substitute y = x/2, not the other way because you need to find the minimum value of x. So you can get rid of y.
Now go on to the inequality. So 8y = 8x/2 = 4x
Now average of 8x and 4x is greater than 120. Average of 8x and 4x is 6x. So,
6x > 120
x > 20

Question: Pipe A that can fill a tank in an hour and pipe B that can fill the tank in half an hour are opened simultaneously when the tank is empty. Pipe B is shut 10 minutes before the tank overflows. When will the tank overflow?
A.37 mins
B.35 mins
C.40 mins
D.32 mins
Answer: A.37 mins
Explanation: The last 10 minutes only pipe A was open. Since it needs 1 hour to fill the tank, then in 10 minutes it fills 1/5th of the tank, thus 5/6 of the tank is filled with both pipes open.
The combined rate of two pipes is 1 + 2 = 3 tanks/hour, therefore to fill 5/6th of the tank they need (time) = (work)/(rate) = (5/6)/3 = 5/18 hours = 27 minutes.
Total time = 10+ 27= 37 minutes.

Question: If x is an integer, then x(x – 1)(x – k) must be evenly divisible by two when k is any of the following values EXCEPT
A.-1
B.-2
C.-1
D.2
Answer: A.-1
Explanation: We have the product of 3 integers: (x-1)x(x-k).
Note that the product of 3 integers is divisible by 2 if at least one multiple is divisible by 2. Now, to guarantee that at least one integer out of x, (x – 1), and (x – k) is divisible by 2 these numbers must have different remainders upon division by 2, meaning that one of them should have remainder of 1, another reminder of 2 and the last one remainder of 0, so be divisible by 2.
Next, if k=-1 then we'll have (x-1)x(x+1)=(x-1)x(x+1) --> which means that (x-1) and (x+1) will have the same remainder upon division by 2. Thus for k=-1 we won't be sure whether (x-1)x(x-k) is divisible by 2.
Answer: A.
Question: How many three digits number can be formed by using the digits 4,5,6,7,8,9 if the repetition of digits not allowed?
A.80
B.70
C.60
D.40
Answer: C.60
Explanation: For a number to be odd we must have 5,7 or 9 at the unit place. So there 3 ways of filling the unit place. Since the repetion of digits is not allowed, the tenths place can be filled with any of the remaining 5 digits in 5 ways. Now hundreds place can be filled in 4 ways by the remaining 4 numbers. So the required number of numbers is 3x5x4 =60 Answer : C

Question: A can do a piece of work in 80 days. He works at it for 10 days & then B alone finishes the remaining work in 42 days. In how much time will A and B, working together, finish the work?
A.10 days
B.230 days
C.50 days
D.40 days
Answer: B.230 days
Explanation: B
30 days
Work done by A in 10 days=10/80=1/8
Remaining work=(1-(1/8))=7/8
Now, work will be done by B in 42 days.
Whole work will be done by B in (42*8/7)=48 days
Therefore, A's one day's work=1/80
B’s one day's work=1/48
(A+B)'s one day's work=1/80+1/48=8/240=1/30
Hence, both will finish the work in 30 days.

Question: An auto assembly plant performs six functions with each frame that arrives: add axles, add wheels to the axles, install the windshield to the frame, install the instrument panel, install the steering wheel, and install the interior seating. Once those six tasks are performed, each car goes to a separate building for finishing touches. If these tasks can be arranged along a linear assembly line in any order, except that the axles must be installed before the wheels can be added, how many T ways can the assembly line be arranged?
A.120
B.240
C.360
D.480
Answer: C.360
Explanation: C) 360
short way: there are 6C! ways to do the six tasks. Half will have wheels before axles and half will have axles before wheels. So we want T=6C!/2 -> 720/2 = 360
Question: 6x − 12 = 6y
5y + 5x = 5
Which of the following is the number of solutions to the system of equations shown above?
A.More than three
B.Exactly three
C.Exactly two
D.Exactly one
Answer: D.Exactly one
Explanation: 6x − 12 = 6y
=> 6x - 6y = 12
=> x- y =2 -- 1
5y + 5x = 5
=>x + y = 1 -- 2
From equation 1 and 2 , we get
2x = 3
=> x=1.5
y=-0.5
Therefore , the given system will have Exactly one solution

Question: A train starts full of passengers. At the first station, it drops one-third of the passengers and takes 280 more. At the second station, it drops one-half of the new total and takes 12 more. On arriving at the third station, it is found to have 248 passengers. Find the number of passengers in the beginning.
A.240
B.248
C.280
D.288
Answer: D.288
Explanation: Let x be no. of passengers at beginning
At, 1st station is drops 1/3rd so remaining 2/3rd are in train only plus 280 i.e., 2x/3+280
at 2nd stop 1/2 of new total and 12 more i.e., (2x/3+280)/2 + 12 = 248
on solving above equation we get x as 288

Question: A Man travelled a distance of 60 km in 8 hours. He travelled partly on foot at 4 km/hr and partly on
bicycle at 9 km/hr. What is the distance travelled on foot?
A.16 km
B.14 km
C.12 km
D.10 km
Answer: C.12 km
Explanation: Explanation:
Let the time in which he travelled on foot = x hour
Time for travelling on bicycle = (9 - x) hr
Distance = Speed * Time, and Total distance = 60 km
So,
4x + 8(9-x) = 60
=> 4x = 12
=> x = 3
So distance traveled on foot = 4(3) = 12 km
