A.35, 25
B.40, 20
C.25, 35
D.50, 50
Answer: A.35, 25
Explanation: Let X% be the percentage of spirit in A and Y% in B
3X/100 + 2Y/100 = 29% of (3 + 2)
3X/100 + 2Y/100 = 1.45
3X + 2Y = 145 ----------(i)
X/100 + 9Y/100 = (34/100) x 10
X + 9Y = 340 ----(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get X = 25 and Y = 35
A contains 25% spirit and B contains 35% of spirit.

Question: The output of a factory was increased by 10% to keep up with rising demand. To handle the holiday rush, this new output was increased by 25%. By approximately what percent would the output now have to be decreased in order to restore the original output?
A.20%
B.24%
C.30%
D.27%
Answer: D.27%
Explanation: The original output increases by 10% and then 25%.
Total % change = a + b + ab/100
Total % change = 10 + 25 + 10*25/100 = 37.5%
Now, you want to change it to 0, so,
0 = 37.5 + x + 37.5x/100
x = -37.5(100)/137.5 = 27% approximately

Question: Mr. Kramer, the losing candidate in a two-candidate election, received 942,568 votes, which was exactly 42 percent of all votes cast. Approximately what percent of the remaining votes would he need to have received in order to have won at least 50 percent of all the votes cast?
A.10%
B.12%
C.14%
D.17%
Answer: C.14%
Explanation: Let me try a simpler one.
Lets assume that candidate got 42% votes and total votes is 100.
Candidate won = 42
Remaining = 58
To get 50%, candidate requires 8 votes from 100 which is 8% and 8 votes from 58.
8/58 = .137 = 13.7%
Which is approx 14%. Hence the answer is C.

Question: The profits of QRS company rose 10% from March to April, then dropped 20% from April to May, then rose 50% from May to June. What was the percent increase for the whole quarter, from March to June?
A.15%
B.32%
C.40%
D.62%
Answer: B.32%
Explanation: We need multipliers.
multiplier for a 10% increases = 1 + 0.10 = 1.1
multiplier for a 20% decreases = 1 – 0.20 = 0.8
multiplier for a 50% increases = 1 + 0.50 = 1.5
Now, multiply these. First, multiply (0.8) and (1.5), using the doubling & halving trick. Half of 0.80 is 0.40, and twice 1.5 is 3
(0.8)*(1.5) = (0.4)*(3) = 1.2
Now, multiply this by 1.1
1.2*1.1 = 1.32
Thus, the three percent changes combined produce a 32% increase. Answer = (B).
Question: For what values of 'k' will the pair of equations 3x + 4y = 12 and kx + 12y = 30 NOT have a unique solution?

Answer: B.9
Explanation: Explanatory Answer
Condition for Unique Solution to Linear Equations
A system of linear equations ax + by + c = 0 and dx + ey + g = 0 will have a unique solution if the two lines represented by the equations ax + by + c = 0 and dx + ey + g = 0 intersect at a point.
i.e., if the two lines are neither parallel nor coincident.
Essentially, the slopes of the two lines should be different.
What does that translate into?
ax + by + c = 0 and dx + ey + g = 0 will intersect at one point if their slopes are different.
Express both the equations in the standardized y = mx + c format, where 'm' is the slope of the line and 'c' is the y-intercept.
ax + by + c = 0 can be written as y = −abx−ca−abx−ca
And dx + ey + g = 0 can be written as y = −dex−ge−dex−ge
Slope of the first line is −ab−ab and that of the second line is −de−de
For a unique solution, the slopes of the lines should be different.
∴ −ab≠−de−ab≠−de
Or ad≠bead≠be
Condition for the equations to NOT have a unique solution
The slopes should be equal
Or ad=bead=be
Apply the condition in the given equations to find k
In the question given above, a = 3, b = 4, d = k and e = 12.
Therefore, 3k=4123k=412
Or 'k' should be equal to 9 for the pair of equations to NOT have a unique solution.
When k = 9, the system of equations will represent a pair of parallel lines (their y-intercepts are different). So, there will be NO solution.

Question: Tea worth Rs. 126 per kg and Rs. 135 per kg are mixed with a third variety of tea in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2. If the mixture is worth Rs. 153 per kg, what is the price of the third variety per kg ?
A.Rs.182.50
B.Rs.170.5
C.Rs.175.50
D.Rs.180
Answer: C.Rs.175.50
Explanation: Explanation:
Tea worth Rs. 126 per kg and Rs. 135 per kg are mixed in the ratio 1 : 1
So their average price
=(126 + 135)/2=130.5
Hence let's consider that the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties of tea, one at Rs. 130.50 per kg and the other at Rs. x per kg in the ratio 2 : 2, i.e., 1 : 1. Now let's find out x
By rule of alligation,
(xâˆ’153):22.5=1:1
â‡’xâˆ’153=22.50
â‡’x=153+22.5=175.5

3 + 4 + 2 = 9 , divisible by 3.
5 + 5 + 2 = 12 , divisible by 3.
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 , not divisible by 3.
The number 1111 is not divisible by 3 the answer is D.
Question: If (t-8) is a factor of t^2-kt-40, then k=
A.16
B.1
C.2
D.6
Answer: B.1
Explanation: t^2-kt-48 = (t-8)(t+m) where m is any positive integer.
if 48/8 = 6, then we know as a matter of fact that:
m = +6
and thus k = 8-6 = 1
t^2-kt-m = (t-a)(t+m) where a>m
t^2+kt-m = (t-a)(t+m) where a<m
t^2-kt+m = (t-a)(t-m)
t^2+kt+m = (t+a)(t+m)
