Question: The distance between two cities A and B is 330 km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travels towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m. and travels towards A at
75 km/hr. At what time will they meet?
A.11 am.
B.12 a.m
C.10 a.m
D.9 a.m
Answer: A.11 am.
Explanation: x hrs after 8 am
train 1 starting from A travel x hours till the trains meet
dist travelled by train 1 in x hrs = 60x km
train 2 starting from B, travels (x-1) hrs
distance travelled by train 2 in(x-1) hrs = 75(x-1) km
total dist travelled = dist travelled by train 1 + dist travelled by train 2
=>330 = 60x+75(x-1)
12x+15(x-1) = 66
12x+15x-15 =66
27x=66+15=81
3x=9=>x=3
hence 3 hrs after 8 am =>11 am

A.600
B.300
C.1200
D.900
Answer: C.1200
Explanation: Let no. of Attendee are A.
Now As per the condition of the problem stated above .
We have following population in the convention as Attendee.
Total no. of females = [2/3]*A
Total no. of females as student : [1/6]*A
Total no. of students = [1/3]*A
Total no. of male as student = [1/6]*A
Total no. of males = A - [2/3]*A = [1/3]A
No. of males which are not student = [1/3]A - [1/6]*A = 200
Hence A = 1200
Total no of males who are not student will be the answer as it states it should be neither female nor student

Question: A tourist purchased a total of $2,000 worth of traveler’s checks in $10 and $50 denominations, During the trip the tourist cashed 7 checks and then lost all of the rest. If the number of $10 checks cashed was one more or one less than the number of $50 checks cashed, what is the minimum possible value of the checks that were lost?
A.$1,430
B.$1,310
C.$1,290
D.$1,770
Answer: D.$1,770
Explanation: Let the number of $10 checks cashed beT
Let the number of $50 checks cashed beF
7 checks cashed;
T+F=7
Now; T can be F+1 OR T can be F-1
Let's check both conditions;
T=F+1
T+F=7
F+1+F=7
2F=6
F=3
T=4
Value cashed = 3*50+4*10=150+40=$190
Let's check the other condition as well;
T=F-1
T+F=7
F-1+F=7
2F=8
F=4
T=3
Value cashed = 4*50+3*10=200+30=$230
The more money he cashes, the less loss he incurs. Thus, we must consider the latter case.
Value cashed = $230
Value lost = 2000-230 = $1770

Question: A man cheats while buying as well as while selling. While buying he takes 10% more than what he pays for and while selling he gives 20% less than what he claims to. Find the profit percent, if he sells at 13% below the cost price of the claimed weight.
A.19.63%
B.20%
C.37.5%
D.25%
Answer: A.19.63%
Explanation: There is a one step calculation method too. It requires more thought but is faster.
The man takes 10% more than what he pays for. So if he claims to take 100 pounds, he pays $100 but he actually takes 110 pounds for which he will take from the customer $110. Hence, in effect, there is a 10% mark up.
While selling, he sells 20% less. This means, he claims to sell 100 pounds and gets $100 but actually sells only 80 pounds and should have got only $80 for it. So this is again a mark up of $20 on $80 which is 25%.
But he also sells at 13% less
(1 + m1%)(1 + m2%)(1 - d%) = (1 + p%)
11/10 * 5/4 * 87/100 = (1 + p%)
profit % = 19.63%

Question: What annual installment will discharge a debt of $1092 due in 3 years at 12% simple interest?
A.$210
B.$115
C.$295
D.$325
Answer: D.$325
Explanation: Let each installment be x
[x + (x*12*1/100)] + [x + (x*12*2/100)] + x = 1092
28x/25 + 31x/25 + x = 1092
x = 325

Question: A 300 meter long train crosses a platform in 39 seconds while it crosses a signal pole in 18 seconds. What is the length of the platform?
A.769m
B.678m
C.350m
D.168m
Answer: C.350m
Explanation: Speed = [300 / 18] m/sec = 50/3 m/sec.
Let the length of the platform be x meters.
Then, x + 300 / 39 = 50/3
3(x + 300) = 1950 è x = 350m.
Answer: C
Question: Two trains leave a station traveling in the same direction. Train A leaves traveling at a constant speed of 50 mph, while train B leaves traveling at a constant speed of 80 mph. If train B left the station 30 minutes after train A left, in how many minutes will train B overtake train A?
A.30
B.40
C.50
D.60
Answer: C.50
Explanation: We can use a form of the equation D=RT [distance=rate*time]
Train A will have traveled for 30 minutes longer when train B overtakes it so
time of train A: T + 30 minutes = T + 1/2 hours (switch to hours since the rates are in hours)
time of train B: T
rate of train A: 50 mph
rate of train B: 80 mph
the distance traveled by each will be the same when B overtakes A so set the right side of D=RT equal to each other for the two trains
50*(T+1/2)=80*T
50T+25=80T
25=30T
25/30=T
5/6 hours = T which is 5/6*60 = 50 minutes

Question: One water pump can fill half of a certain empty tank in 3 hours. Another pump can fill half of the same tank in 312312 hours. Working together, how long will it take these two pumps to fill the entire tank?
A.1 7/13
B.1 5/8
C.3 1/4
D.3 3/13
Answer: D.3 3/13
Explanation: One pump can fill a tank in 3 hours and another in 3.5 hours
so the rate at which both can half fill the tank is (1/3+1/3.5) => 13/21
Thus half of the tank can be filled in 21/13
so for filling the complete tank => 21/13*2 = 42/13

Question: Cost is expressed by the formula tb^4. If b is doubled, the new cost Q is what percent of the original cost?
A.Q=200
B.Q=600
C.Q=800
D.Q=1600
Answer: D.Q=1600
Explanation: Original Cost C1=t1*b1^4
New Cost C2=t2*b2^4....only b is doubled so t2=t1 and b2=2b1
C2=t2*(2b1)^4
=16(t1*b1^4)
=16C1
16 times C1=>1600% of C1
Ans D =1600
