Question: Two dice are tossed once. What is the probability of getting an even number on the first die or a total sum of 6 on the two dice?
A.5/9
B.5/12
C.7/12
D.11/18
Answer: C.7/12
Explanation: There are 36 possible outcomes for two dice.
The number of outcomes with an even number on the first die is 3*6=18.
The number of outcomes with a sum of 6 is 5.
We need to subtract the outcomes that have both an even number on the first die and a sum of 6 because we have counted those outcomes twice. This number of outcomes is 2.
The number of outcomes with either an even number on the first die or a sum of 6 is 18+5-2=21.
The probability is 21/36=7/12.
The answer is C.

Question: In a mixture of 13 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 3 : 2. If 3 liters of this mixture is replaced by 3 liters of milk, then what will be the ratio of milk and water in the newly formed mixture?
A.9 : 1
B.9 : 2
C.9 : 7
D.9 : 4
Answer: D.9 : 4
Explanation: Given: Total quantity of mixture = 13 liters
3 litres of mixture is removed from the container – So, let's forget this altogether!
Now, you are left with only 10 litres of mixture in 3:2 ratio.
Milk in 10 litres mix = 10 x	3	= 6 litres
(2 + 3)
Water in 10 litres mix = 10 x	2	= 4 litres
(2 + 3)
We add 3 litres milk to this.
So, milk in new mix is = 6 liters + 3 litres = 9 litres
Water= 4 litres
Ratio of milk : water = 9 : 4

A. (k – 4)(k)(k + 3)(k + 7)
B. (k – 4)(k – 2)(k + 3)(k + 5)
C. (k – 2)(k + 3)(k + 5)(k + 6)
D. (k + 1)(k + 3)(k + 5)(k + 7)
Answer: D. (k + 1)(k + 3)(k + 5)(k + 7)
Explanation: 24=8*3.
Note that the product of two consecutive even integers is always divisible by 8 (since one of them is divisible by 4 and another by 2). Only option B offers two consecutive even numbers for any integer value of k: k-4 and k-2, if k=even or k+3 and k+5 if k=odd.
Also from the following 3 consecutive integers:(k-4), (k-3),(k-2)one must be divisible by 3, if it's not k-4 or k-2 then it must be k-3 (if it's k-4 or k-2 option B is divisible by 3 right away). But if it's k-3 then (k-3)+6=k+3must also be divisible by 3.
So, option B: (k – 4)(k – 2)(k + 3)(k + 5) is divisible by 8 and 3 in any case.

Answer: B
Question: A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:
A.56
B.50
C.72
D.27
Answer: B.50
Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec
= (25/2) m/sec. [(25/2) * (18/5)] km/hr
= 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed
= (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 45
==> x = 50 km/hr.
Answer: B
Question: Train A and Train B began traveling towards each other from opposite ends of a 480-mile long track at 1:00 PM. If Train A traveled at 35 miles per hour and Train B traveled at 25 miles per hour, at what time did the trains meet?
A.5:40 PM
B.6:00 PM
C.7:20 PM
D.9:00 PM
Answer: D.9:00 PM
Explanation: This question tests your concepts of relative speed:
If two trains are moving in opposite direction, then distance will reduce at a rate of (Speed of 1 + Speed of 2)
If two trains are moving in same direction, then distance will reduce at a rate of (Speed of 1 - Speed of 2)
Here the trains are moving towards each other, hence in opposite direction.
Trains will cover the 500 mile track in a time of 500/(25 + 35) = 480/60 = 8 hours
Trains started at 1:00 PM, there they will meet at 9:00 PM
Option D
Question: An amount of 1,00,000 is invested in two types of shares. The first yields an interest of 9% p.a. and the second, 11% p.a. If the total interest at the end of one year is 9 3⁄4% , then the amount invested in each share was:
A.52,500; 47,500
B.62,500; 37,500
C.72,500: 27,500
D.82,500; 17,500
Answer: B.62,500; 37,500
Explanation: Let the sum invested at 9% be x and that invested at 11% be (100000 – x).
Then,
(x×9×1/100)+[(100000−x)×11×1/100]
= (100000×39/4×1/100)
⇒ 9x+1100000−11x/100=39000/4=9750
⇒ 2x = (1100000 – 975000) = 125000 ⇒ x = 62500.
∴ Sum invested at 9% = 62500.
Sum invested at 11% = (100000 – 62500) = 37500.

Question: Two trains are moving in opposite directions at 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is?
A.48 sec
B.77
C.55
D.27
Answer: A.48 sec
Explanation: Relative speed = 60 + 90 = 150 km/hr.
= 150 * 5/18 = 125/3 m/sec.
Distance covered = 1.10 + 0.9 = 2 km = 2000 m.
Required time = 2000 * 3/125 = 48 sec.
