Question: A boat M leaves shore A and at the same time boat B leaves shore B. They move across the river.
They met at 500 yards away from A and after that they met 300 yards away from shore B without
halting at shores. Find the distance between the shore A & B
A.1100 yards
B.1200 yards
C.1300 yards
D.1400 yards
Answer: B.1200 yards
Explanation: Explanation :
The boats first met after 500yards from A.
Let the total distance between A and B be x.
Then,
500/a = x - 500 / b, ------------(1)
where, a = speed of A,
b = speed of B.
Assuming both boats are coming back to their original start place without halting at the shores,
Distance coverred by A = x + 300
Distance covered by B = 2x - 300
x+300/a = 2x-300/b -----------------------(2)
From above,
500/x-500 = x+300/2x-300
Solve, for x = 1200

Question: By mixing two brands of tea and selling the mixture at the rate of Rs. 177 per kg. a shopkeeper makes a profit of 18%. If to every 2 kg of one brand costing Rs. 200 per kg, 3 kg of the other brand is added, then how much per kg does the other brand cost?
A.116.6
B.116.68
C.116.69
D.116.66
Answer: D.116.66
Explanation: Let the cost of the brand be Rs. X per kg.
C.P. of 5 kg = (2 * 200 + 3 * x) = Rs. (400 + 3x)
S.P of 5 kg = Rs. (5 * 177) = Rs. 885
[885 - (400 + 3x)]/(400 + 3x) * 100 = 18
24250 - 150x = 3600 + 27x
177x = 20650 => x = 116 2/3
So, cost of the other brand = Rs. 116.66.Answer:D

Question: A bus covered a distance of 250 km, partly at an average speed of 40 kmph and partly at 60 kmph. If the total time taken is 6.5 hours, then the distance covered at 40 kmph is
A.130 km
B.120km
C.100km
D.280km
Answer: D.280km
Explanation: Let the partial distance covered at 40 kmph be X
Let the another partial distance covered at 60 kmph be (250 - x)
Thus, x/40 - (250 - x)/60 = 6.5
or, x/40 + (250 - x)/60 = 6.5
or, (3x + 500 - 2x)//120 = 6.5
or 500 + x = 780
x=280

Question: In ten years, David will be four times as old as Aaron. Twenty years ago, David was twice as old as Ellen. If David is five years older than Ellen, how old is Aaron?
A.0.5–5
B.6–10
C.11–15
D.16–20
Answer: A.0.5–5
Explanation: Let David's present age be 'd', Aaron's present age be 'a' and Ellen's present age be 'e'
In ten years, David will be four times as old as Aaron --> d+10 = 4(a+10)
Twenty years ago, David was twice as old as Ellen --> d-20 = 2(e-20)
David is seven years older than Ellen --> d = e + 5
e+5-20 = 2e-40
e-15 = 2e-40
e = 25
d = 32
42 = 4a + 40
a = 0.5

Question: Gasoline varies in cost from $0.95 to $1.15 per gallon. If a car’s mileage varies from 16 to 24 miles per gallon, what is the difference between the most and least that the gasoline for a 480-mile trip will cost?
A.$15.50
B.$15.72
C.$16.10
D.$16.50
Answer: A.$15.50
Explanation: Solution:
We know that the per gallon cost of gasoline varies from $0.95 - $1.15.
Now we want to find the MAXIMUM difference between the least amount of money spent on gasoline and the largest amount of money spent i.e. to calculate max. trip cost - min. trip cost.
Mileage is given to be 16 to 24 miles per gallon, thus to travel 480 miles you will need gasoline in the range 480/24 to 480/16 which is 20 to 30 gallons.
So, for these 20 gallons and 30 gallons of gasoline the cost is as follows: (divide this task into 2 parts, 1 for 30 gallons and 2nd one for 20 gallons).
Case 1: for 30 gallons the cost is 30*0.95 to 30*1.15 which is $28.50 to $34.50
Case 2: for 20 gallons the cost is 20*0.95 to 20*1.15 which is $19.00 to $23.00
Thus, the maximum cost of the 480 mile trip is $34.50 and minimum is $19.00
so the difference is $34.50 - $19.00 = $15.50

mixture must be drawn off and replaced with water so that the mixture may be half water and half
syrup?
A.13
B.14
C.15
D.16
Answer: C.15
Explanation: Explanation :
Let the quantity of the initial liquid in the vessel = 8 litre and quantity of water in the initial liquid = 3
litre andquantity of syrup in the initial liquid = 5 litreLet x litre of the mixture is drawn off and replaced
with waterQuantity of water in the new mixture = 3−3x8+xQuantity of syrup in the new mixture =
5−5x8Given that in the new mixture, quantity of water = quantity of
syrup⇒3−3x8+x=5−5x8⇒10x8=2⇒5x4=2⇒x=85⇒85litre
Initially we assumed that the quantity of the initial liquid in the vessel = 8 litre for
the ease of calculations. For that 8/5 litre of the mixture to be drawn off and replaced
with water so that the mixture may be half water and half syrup
Now, if the initial liquid in the vessel = 1 litre, quantity of the mixture to be drawn off
and replaced with water so that the mixture may be half water and half syrup
=85×18=15
It means 1/5 of the mixture has to be drawn off and replaced with water so that the mixture
may be half water and half syrup

Question: A wire can be bent in the form of a circle of radius 56cm. If it is bent in the form of a square, then its area will be
A.7744
B.8844
C.5544
D.4444
Answer: A.7744
Explanation: length of wire = 2 PieR= 2 *(22/7 )*56 = 352 cm
side of the square = 352/4 = 88cm
area of the square = 88*88 = 7744 sq cm Answer: A
Question: Machine M, N, O working simultaneously Machine M can produce x units in 3/4 of the time it takes machine N to produce the same amount of units. Machine N can produce x units in 1/3 the time it takes machine O to produce that amount of units. If all three machines are working simultaneously, what fraction of the total output is produced by machine N?
A.1/2
B.1/3
C.4/13
D.8/29
Answer: A.1/2
Explanation: Now ultimately the speed of every machine is given with respect to Mach O.
So lets assume the speed of O, say 12 hrs to make x units (assuming 6 because we can see we will need to divide by 3 and 4
Mach O makes x units in 12 hrs
So, Mach N = 1/3 of O = 1/3*12 = 4 hrs to make x units
and Mach M = 3/4 of N = 3/4*4 = 6 hrs to make x units
No they are running simultaneously. Lets see how much each mach makes in 1 hr
Mach O = x/12 units
Mach N = x/4 units
Mach M = x/6 units
In 1 hr, together they make - x/12+x/4+x/6 = x/2
So what ratio of this has Mach N made?
(x/4) / (x/2) = 1/2
Ans:A=1/2
Question: A circular mat with radius 10 inches is placed on a square tabletop, each of whose sides is 24 inches long. Which of the following is closest to the fraction of the tabletop covered by the mat?
A.5/12
B.2/5
C.0.5451
D.3/4
Answer: C.0.5451
Explanation: C.
It is a circle inscribed in a square.
Square side=24---> square(table) area=24^2
Circle diameter=20---> Circle area=PiR^2=100Pi (where Pi=~3.14)
covered fraction=100*3.14/24*24=~314/24*24=0.5451

Question: In a certain company, a third of the workers do not have a retirement plan. 20% of the workers who do not have a retirement plan are women, and 40% of the workers who do have a retirement plan are men. If 128 of the workers of that company are men, how many of the workers are women?
A.80
B.95
C.105
D.112
Answer: D.112
Explanation: Set up equation:
x = total number of workers
128 = 0,4 * 2/3 * x + 0,8 * 1/3 * x
128 = 16/30 x
x = 240
240 - 128 = 112
