Question: A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 meter long in 25 seconds. What is length of the train ?
A.140 meter
B.145 meter
C.150 meter
D.155 meter
Answer: C.150 meter
Explanation: Explanation:
Let the length of the train is x meter and Speed of the train is y meter/second
Then x/y = 15 [because distance/speed = time]
=> y = 15/x
x+100/25 =x/15
x=150 meters
So length of the train is 150 meters

Question: If f > x > y > z on the number line, y is halfway between x and z, and x is halfway between w and z, then (y - x)/(y - f) =
A.1/4
B.1/3
C.1/2
D.3/4
Answer: B.1/3
Explanation: Let y-z=t ---> since y is halfway between x and z and x>y we have x-y=t. Moreover x-z=(x-y)+(y-z)=2t. Similarly since x is halfway between w and z, we have f-x=2t. So y-x=-t, y-f=-3t. ---> (y - x)/(y - f) = 1/3.
The answer is (B).
Question: A father is now three times as old as his son. Five years back, he was four times as old as his son. The age of the son (in years) is
A.12
B.15
C.18
D.20
Answer: B.15
Explanation: Explanation:
Let son's age be x years. Then, father's age = (3x) years.
Five years ago, father's age = (3x - 5) years and son's age = (x - 5) years.
So, 3x - 5 = 4 (x - 5) 3x - 5 = 4x - 20 x = 15.

Question: How many seconds will a 450 metre long train take to cross a man running with a speed of 6 km/hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 60 km/hr?
A.25
B.30
C.40
D.45
Answer: B.30
Explanation: Explanation :
Speed of train relatively to man = ( 60 - 6)km/hr
= 54 km /hr
= (54 x 5 / 18)m/sec
= 15 m/sec
Time taken to pass the man = (450 / 15)sec = 30 sec.

A.78 days.
B.143 days.
C.149 days.
D.148 days.
Answer: B.143 days.
Explanation: B
143 days.
From the above formula i.e (m1*t1/w1) = (m2*t2/w2)
so (13*6*88/1) = (6*8*d/1)
on solving, d = 143 days.

Question: Evaluate: |4 - 8(3 - 12)| - |5 - 11| =
A.49
B.55
C.69
D.70
Answer: D.70
Explanation: According to order of operations, inner brackets first. Hence
|4 - 8(3 - 12)| - |5 - 11| = |4 - 8*(-9)| - |5 - 11|
According to order of operations, multiplication within absolute value signs (which may be considered as brackets when it comes to order of operations) next. Hence
= |4 + 72| - |5 - 11|
= |76| - |-6|
= 76 - 6 = 70

Question: Two train each 500 m long, are running in opposite directions on parallel tracks. If their speeds are 45 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively, the time taken by the slower train to pass the driver of the faster one is?
A.20s
B.24s
C.22s
D.23s
Answer: B.24s
Explanation: Relative speed = 45+30 = 75 km/hr = 750/36 m/s = 125/6 m/s
We are calculating the time taken by the slower train to pass the driver of the faster one
.Hence the distance = length of the smaller train = 500 m
Time = distance/speed = 500/(125/6) = 24 s

Question: A bicyclist's wheel has a circumference of 2 meters. if the bicyclist covers 20 meters in 5 hours at a constant speed, how many rotations does the wheel make per hour at that speed?
A.2
B.16
C.17
D.18
Answer: A.2
Explanation: The bicyclist covers y meters in t hrs. So he covers y/t meters in one hour.
To cover y/t meters, the bicycle's wheel went round and round that is, multiple times, the wheel completed one circumference on the road. How many times did it complete one full rotation. Since the circumference is x, the number of times it completes the circumference is y/xt.
given : x=2; y=20 and t=5
hence y/xt =20/2*5=2

Question: A train travels from New York to Chicago, a distance of approximately 480 miles, at an average rate of 60 miles per hour and arrives in Chicago at 5:00 in evening, Chicago time. At what hour in the morning, New York time, did the train depart for Chicago? (Note : Chicago time is one hour earlier than New York time)
A.10:00
B.4:00
C.5:00
D.6:00

Question: The avg weight of A,B & C is 84 kg. If D joins the group, the avg weight of the group becomes 80 kg.If another man E who weights is 3 kg more than D Replaces A, Then the avgof B,C,D&E becomes 79 kg. What is the weight of A?
A.60
B.34
C.75
D.87
Answer: C.75
Explanation: A + B + C = 3 *84 = 252
A + B + C + D = 4 * 80 = 320 ---- (i)
So, D = 68& E = 68 + 3 = 71
B + C + D +E = 79 * 4 = 316 --- (ii)
From Eq. (i) & (ii)
A-E = 320 – 316 = 4
A = E +4 = 71 + 4 = 75

Question: P, Q and R have $7000 among themselves. R has two-thirds of the total amount with P and Q. Find the amount with R?
A.2800
B.2403
C.3998
D.2539
Answer: A.2800
Explanation: A
2800
Let the amount with R be $ r
r = 2/3 (total amount with P and Q)
r = 2/3(7000 - r) => 3r = 14000 - 2r
=> 5r = 14000 => r = 2800.
Question: A certain debt will be paid in 52 installments from January 1 to December 31 of a certain year. Each of the first 8 payments is to be $410; each of the remaining payments is to be $65 more than each of the first 8 payments. What is the average (arithmetic mean) payment that will be made on the debt for the year?
A.443
B.450
C.465
D.468
Answer: C.465
Explanation: Total number of installments = 52
Payment per installment for the first 8 installments = 410
Payment per installment for the remaining 32 installments = 410+65=475
Average = (8*410 + 44*475)/52 = 465

Question: If a, b, and c are three different positive integers whose sum is prime, which of the following statements could be true?
A.Each of a, b, and c is prime.
B.Each of a + 3, b + 3, and c + 3 is prime
C.Each of a + b, a + c, and b + c is prime
D.The average (arithmetic mean) of a, b, and c is prime
Answer: A.Each of a, b, and c is prime.
Explanation: 3 different +ve integers (assume a, b, c) – sum is a prime number
All prime numbers except 2 are odd.
Consider 2 -> There is no combination of a, b & c to get a sum of 2. (a, b and c have to be different and positive integers)
Now for a, b and c to add up to a prime number (>2) the possibilities are
2 numbers are even positive integers and 1 is an odd positive integer ( E, E, O – i.e. assume a & b are even and c is odd)
OR
All 3 are odd positive integers (O, O, O – a, b & c are odd)
(A)	E, E, O (even if 1 of the even numbers is 2 there is another number which cannot be prime) combination not true
but O, O, O combination could be true.
(B)	E+3 could be prime but O+3 is an even integer >2 so cannot be prime
So E,E,O combination not true (a+3 OK, b+3 OK but c+3 – cannot be prime ) and O,O,O (a/b/c+3 cannot be prime)combination is also not true.
(C)	E+O could be prime but O+O cannot be So E,E,O (a+b cannot be prime) combination and O,O,O (a+b, b+c and c+a cannot be prime) combination not true
(D)	If the average of 3 numbers is a prime number then the sum of the 3 numbers is a multiple of 3 and the arithmetic mean. So the sum cannot be even – therefore this option is also not possible.
(E)	If a+b=c then a+b+c = 2c which is an even no and hence this option is not possible

Question: In the equation a = 36.12b, b and a are integers. If a/b leaves a remainder of r, which of the following must divide into r?
A.2
B.3
C.4
D.6
Answer: B.3
Explanation: 1) It says it is a equation, so a=36.12b should be 36.12 * b..
2) It says b is an integer, again it means 36.12 * b..
Otherwise b would be just a digit and it would be mentioned..
Although not clearly mentioned that 36.12b is actually 36.12 * b, BUT entire info points towards that..
and that is why I have taken a/b = 36.12
