Question: A positive number x is multiplied by 2, and this product is then divided by 4. If the positive square root of the result of these two operations equals x, what is the value of x ?
A. 9/4
B. 3/2
C. 4/3
D. 2/3
Answer: A. 9/4
Explanation: We need to produce an equation from the information given in the problem stem. We are first given that x is multiplied by 2 and then the product is divided by 3. This gives us:
2x/3
Next we are given that the positive square root of the result (which is 2x/3) is equal to x. This gives us
√(2x/3) = x
2x/3 = x^2
2x = 3x^2
3x^2 – 2x = 0
x(3x – 2) = 0
x = 0 or
3x – 2 = 0
3x = 2
x = 9/4
Because x is positive, x = 9/4. The answer is A.

Question: A group of five women and three men have tickets for seven adjacent seats in one row of a theatre. If the three men will not sit in three adjacent seats, how many possible different seating arrangements are there for these 8 theatre-goers?
A. 7! – 2!3!2!
B. 7! – 4!3!
C. 8! - 6!3!
D. 7 × 2!3!2!
Answer: C. 8! - 6!3!
Explanation: 8 people can sit in 8! different ways. But because 3 men cannot sit together, we take them as a unit.
This unit of men, among themselves can sit in 3! ways.
Hence, 8! - 3!.
This unit of men along with 5 women can sit in 6! different ways which also needs to be eliminated.
Hence 8! - 6!3!

A.500 per year
B.600 per year
C.700 per year
D.800 per year
Answer: C.700 per year
Explanation: Shortcut method :
If borrowed amount be M and it is to be paid in equal instalments, then
M=na+ra/100×Y×n(n−1)/2
where Y = no. of instalments per annum
a = annual instalment
Here, M = 4200, y = 1, r = 10, n = 5, a = ?
4200 = 5a + 10a⁄100 × 5(5 - 1)⁄2

Question: Ram's age and Shyam's age are in the ratio 3 : 4. Seven years ago the ratio of their ages was 2: 3. Find the ratio of their ages five years hence?
A.26:36
B.22:33
C.26:38
D.26:33
Answer: D.26:33
Explanation: Let ages of Ramu and Shyamu be x and y respectively.
x/y = 3/4 => x = 3/4 y
Also (x - 7) / (y - 7) = 2/3
=> 3x - 21 = 2y - 14
3x = 2y + 7
But x = 3/4 y
3 * 3/4 y = 2y + 7
9y = 8y + 28 => y = 28 years
Ratio of their ages five years hence
= (21 + 5) / (28 + 5) = 26/33.

Question: John takes 12 hours to complete a certain job, while Bill takes only 6 hours to complete the same job. If Steve is faster than John but slower than Bill at completing the same job, then which of the following could be the time it takes the three men together, working at their constant, individual rates, to complete the job?
A.2 hours, 24 minutes
B.2 hours, 40 minutes
C.3 hours, 20 minutes
D.3 hours, 45 minutes
Answer: B.2 hours, 40 minutes
Explanation: The rate of John plus Bill is 1/12 + 1/6 = 1/4 of the job completed per hour.
If Steve worked at the same rate as John, the rate would be 1/4 + 1/12 = 1/3
The slowest possible time would be 3 hours.
If Steve worked at the same rate as Bill, the rate would be 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12
The fastest possible time would be 12/5 hours = 2 hours, 24 minutes.
The actual time is somewhere between these two extreme points.

QUESTION #11:
How many words (with or without meaning) can be formed using all the letters of the word “SELFIE” so that the two E’s are not together?
A. 660
B. 600
C. 500
D. 300
Answer: D. 300
Explanation: The question is asking the total number of arrangements possible with the letters of the word “SELFIE” where two E’s are not together.
Arrangements when two E’s are not together = Total arrangements - Arrangements when two E’s are together
In total there are 6 letters but two are identical. so we can arrange in 6! ways. but we divide for those objects that are identical. so divide by 2!. Hence,
Total arrangements = 6!/2!
Now two E's are coupled together. Consider this couple (EE) as one letter. apart from this there are 4 more letters. so we can arrange these 5 different objects in 5! ways.
Two E's can arrange themselves in 2! ways, but we divide for those objects that are identical. so divide by 2!. so arrangement for E's would be 2!/2!.
Hence, Arrangements when two E’s are together = 5! * (2!/2!)
Arrangements when two E’s are not together = 6!/2! - 5! = 5! * ( 6/2 -1 ) = 120 * 2 = 240.

Question: Jane bought 300 packets of chocolate. She was able to sell 1/3 of them at a 10% profit, another 1/3 of them at zero profit and the remainder was sold at a 5% loss. Find the total profit or loss made by Jane after selling those 300 packets. A packet sold at a loss had a price of $9.
Please provide an intuitive answer if possible. Thanks!!
A.0
B.Profit of $20
C.Loss of $25
D.Profit of $50
Answer: D.Profit of $50
Explanation: A packet sold at a 10% loss had a price of $9, thus the cost of a packet is $10.
100 packets was sold at a 10% profit --> gives profit of 10*0.1*100 = $100.
100 packets was sold at a 5% loss --> gives loss of 10*0.05*100 = $50.
The overall Profit is $100 - $50 = $50.

Question: A driver would have reduced the time it took to drive from home to the store by 1/3 if the average speed had been increased by 21 miles per hour. What was the actual average speed, in miles per hour, when the driver drove from home to the store?
A.36
B.42
C.45
D.48
Answer: B.42
Explanation: Let R be the original speed and let T be the original time.
Since the distance remains the same (we're just changing the rate and time), any increase in rate or time is met with a decrease in the other term. Decreasing the time by 1/3 would give us:
D = (R)(T) = (2T/3)(x*R)
x = 3/2 since (2T/3)(3R/2) = (R)(T) = D
3R/2 = R + 21
R/2 = 21
R= 42
The answer is B.
Question: Train P crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train Q crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds. The length of train P is three-fourths the length of train Q. What is the ratio of the speed of train P to that of train Q?
A.15:8
B.15:7
C.15:1
D.15:3
Answer: A.15:8
Explanation: Given that train P crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train Q crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds.
Let the length of train P be LP and that of train Q be LQ
given that LP = 3/4 LQ
As the train P and Q crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 75 seconds respectively,
=> Speed of train P = VP = LP/30
Speed of train Q = VQ = LQ/75
LP = 3/4 LQ
=> VP = 3/4 LQ/(30) = LQ/40
Ratio of their speeds = VP : VQ
= LQ/40 : LQ/75 => 1/40 : 1/75 = 15:8

2. If a condition is given, you always find the condition space and fill the condition space first.
Here we need to form a 3 digit number given 2 conditions that the tens and units digit are odd. the digits we can use here are all the digits from 0 to 9 and since nothing is mentioned about the digits being repeated or not, we always consider the with repetition case.
So making 3 empty spaces _ Odd Odd.
The total number of ways of filling the units digit is 5, since we can use any one out of 1,3,5,7 and 9. Similarly the total number of ways of filling the tens digit is 5. Now since the digits can be repeated and we need to have a 3 digit number, we can fill the hundreds digit in 9 ways, since we can use any one out of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. We cannot use 0 since we need a 3 digit number.
So the answer here will be 9 * 5 * 5 = 225 ANS:B

Question: 800 students took the test on English and Maths. 35% students failed in english and 45% failed in maths. 40% of those who passed in maths also passed in english, then how many students failed in both ?
A.a) 162
B.b) 138
C.c) 16
D.d) 38
Answer: C.c) 16
Explanation: Passed in english = 65%
Passed in maths = 55%
Passed in both = 40% of 55% = 2/5 * (55%) = 22%
Passed in (English + Maths - Both + Neither) = 100%
65 + 55 - 22 + Neither = 100
Neither = 100 - 98 = 2% = 0.02 * 800 = 16

Question: A, B, C subscribe Rs. 50,000 for a business. If A subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more than C, out of a total profit of Rs. 39,000, what will be the amount A receives?
A.14700
B.14500
C.14900
D.16380
Answer: D.16380
Explanation: Total amount invested = 50000
Assume that investment of C =x.
Then investment of B =5000+x,
Investment of A =4000+5000+x=9000+x
x+5000+x+9000+x=50000
⇒3x+14000=50000
⇒3x=50000–14000=36000
⇒x=36000/3=12000
Investment of C =x=12000
Investment of B =5000+x=17000
Investment of A =9000+x=21000
Ratio of the investment of A, B and C
=21000:17000:12000
=21:17:12
Share of A = Total profit ×21/50
=39000×21/50=16380
