Question: During one month at a particular restaurant, 1/6 of the burgers sold were veggie burgers and 1/2 of the rest of the burgers sold were double-meat. If x of the burgers sold were double-meat, how many were veggie burgers?
A.x/8
B.x/2
C.2x/5
D.3x/4
Answer: C.2x/5
Explanation: Let y be the number of total burgers.
veggie = y/6 , non veggie = 5y/6
1/4 of the rest of the burgers sold were double-meat
=> 5y/6 * 1/2 = double meat = x
=> y/6 = 2x/5 = veggie

Question: In a tree, 3/7 of the birds are parrots while the rest are toucans. If 2/3 of the parrots are female and 7/10 of the toucans are female, what fraction of the birds in the tree are male?
A.3/7
B.11/35
C.16/35
D.31/70
Answer: B.11/35
Explanation: Let x be the number of birds in the tree.
The fraction of birds that are male parrots is (1/3)(3/7)=1/7.
The fraction of birds that are male toucans is (3/10)(4/7)=6/35.
The total fraction of male birds is 1/7 + 6/35 = 11/35.
The answer is B.

Question: A number when divided by a divisor leaves a remainder of 24. When twice the original number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 11. What is the value of the divisor?
A.13
B.59
C.35
D.37
Answer: D.37
Explanation: Explanatory Answer
Decoding "A number when divided by a divisor leaves a remainder of 24"
Let the original number be 'a'.
Let the divisor be 'd'.
Let the quotient of dividing 'a' by 'd' be 'x'.
Therefore, we can write the division as a/d = x and the remainder is 24.
i.e., a = dx + 24
Decoding "When twice the original number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 11"
Twice the original number is divided by d means 2a is divided by d.
We know that a = dx + 24.
Therefore, 2a = 2(dx + 48) or 2a = 2dx + 48
When (2dx + 48) is divided by 'd' the remainder is 11.
2dx is divisible by 'd' and will therefore, not leave a remainder.
The remainder of 11 would be the remainder of dividing 48 by d.
The question is "What number will leave a remainder of 11 when it divides 48?"
When 37 divides 48, the remainder is 11.
Hence, the divisor is 37.

Question: Steve gets on the elevator at the 11th floor of a building and rides up at a rate of 57 floors per minute. At the same time Joyce gets on an elevator on the 51st floor of the same building and rides down at a rate of 63 floors per minute. If they continue traveling at these rates, at which floor will their paths cross?
A.19
B.28
C.30
D.32
Answer: C.30
Explanation: Using Speed Formula: Speed = Distance / Time
Distance to be covered = 51-11 = 40
Speed of approach = 57 + 63 floors/min
Time = 40/120 = 1/3
So Steve will cover 57x 1/3 floors in that time = 19
So he will be in 19 + 11 floor = 30th Floor

Question: An empty fuel tank with a capacity of 200 gallons was filled partially with fuel A and then to capacity with fuel B. Fuel A contains 12% ethanol by volume and fuel B contains 16% ethanol by volume. If the full fuel tank contains 28 gallons of ethanol, how many gallons of fuel A were added?
A.160
B.150
C.100
D.80
Answer: C.100
Explanation: Say there are A gallons of fuel A in the tank, then there would be 200-A gallons of fuel B.
The amount of ethanol in A gallons of fuel A is 0.12A;
The amount of ethanol in 200-A gallons of fuel B is 0.16(200-A);
Since the total amount of ethanol is 28 gallons then 0.12A+0.16(200-A)=28 --> A=100.

Question: A five-person team is to be formed from a pool of 6 East All Stars and 6 West All Stars. What is the probability that the team will contain at least 2 East All Stars?
A.fraction of 29/33
B.81/169
C.57/120
D.47/144
Answer: A.fraction of 29/33
Explanation: The question with at- least can be easily tackled by
At least = Total cases - unwanted cases
So atleast 2 player = total cases - cases with no east all stars person - case with only one east all person
Total number of cases = 12C5 = 798
Cases with no east all person = 6C5(All person from west all stars) = 6
Cases with exactly one east all person = 6C4*6C1 (4from west all stars and 1 from east all stars)= 90
So total no. of cases with with at least two members = 798-6-90 = 702
Probability = 702/798 = 29/33

Question: In a group of ducks and cows, the total number of legs are 24 more than twice the number of heads. Find the total number of cows.
A.A)14
B.B)12
C.C)16
D.D)8
Answer: B.B)12
Explanation: Explanation :
Let the number of ducks be d
and number of cows be c
Then, total number of legs = 2d + 4c = 2(d + 2c)
total number of heads = c + d
Given that total number of legs are 24 more than twice the number of heads
=> 2(d + 2c) = 24 + 2(c + d)
=> d + 2c = 12 + c + d
=> 2c = 12 + c
=> c = 12

A.-4
B.4
C.10
D.19
Answer: D.19
Explanation: The fastest approach has already been shown. Here's one more option.
Given:
x + y = 6
x – y = 3
Add the two equations to get: 2x = 9, which means x = 4.5
If x = 4.5, we can plug that value into either equation, to conclude that y = 1.5
If x = 4.5 and y = 1.5, then x² - y² = 4.5² - 1.5² = 19

A.34778
B.26888
C.22899
D.23100
Answer: D.23100
Explanation: Price at which the TV set is bought = Rs. 16,500
Discount offered = 20%
Marked Price = 16500 * 100/80 = Rs. 20625

Question: A satellite is composed of 24 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded. Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors. If the number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/4 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite, what fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded?
A.5/6
B.1/5
C.1/6
D.1/7
Answer: D.1/7
Explanation: Let x be the number of upgraded sensors on the satellite.
The number of non-upgraded sensors per unit is x/4.
The number of non-upgraded sensors on the whole satellite is 24(x/4) = 6x.
The fraction of sensors which have been upgraded is x / (x+6x) = x/7x = 1/7
The answer is D.
Question: In a two-digit number, if it is known that its unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2 and that the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 280, then the number is:
A.16
B.24
C.27
D.35
Answer: D.35
Explanation: Let the ten's digit be x. Then, unit's digit = x + 2. Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2
Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2
(11x + 2)(2x + 2) =280
22(x)(x) + 26x - 276 = 0
11(x)(x) + 13x -138 = 0
(x - 3)(11x + 46) = 0
x = 3
Hence, required number = 11x + 2 = 35.

Question: A cargo ships engines failed 100 miles away from the port. Due to the changing wind direction, it is moving 12 miles towards the port and 6 miles away from the port. If the wind pattern remains same, how many miles it will travel before reaching the port?
A.A - 179
B.B - 240
C.C - 280
D.D - 100
Answer: C.C - 280
Explanation: Ships overall distance covered per cycle is +6 miles
take 100 - 6
take 94/6 to lowest divisible number - 90/6
This means that it will take 15 "overall" actions to reach the 90th mile. -15*18 miles added later
Set cycle start at 90. travel 10 miles and reach the anchor point - add 10 to total
15*18 + 10 = 280 miles in total

Question: The sum of how many terms of the series 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + ... is 1800 ?
A.20
B.24
C.28
D.32
Answer: B.24
Explanation: This is an A.P. in which a = 6, d = 6 and Sn = 1800
Then, n [2a + (n - 1)d] = 1800
2
n [2 x 6 + (n - 1) x 6] = 1800
2
3n (n + 1) = 1800
n(n + 1) = 600
n2 + n - 600 = 0
n2 + 25n - 24n - 600 = 0
n(n + 25) - 24(n + 25) = 0
(n + 25)(n - 24) = 0
n = 24
Number of terms = 24.
