Question: It's Valentine's day and Alan has promised to cook his girlfriend Alana her favorite meal: fish fingers and custard. Alana will be arriving in one hour exactly. Alan only has a microwave. The fish fingers take 13 minutes to defrost in the microwave and 6 minutes to cook in the microwave. The custard must be prepared after the fish fingers and takes 24 minutes to cook in the microwave and then 6 minutes to cool sufficiently so as not to burn someone's tongue. It will take Alan 1 minute to plate the food. However, Alan is on his Xbox and really wants to play one more game of his football video game before Alana arrives. What is the maximum length of each half of the match that Alan can play to ensure the meal is ready for Alana's arrival?
A.5 min
B.6 minutes
C.7 minutes
D.8 minutes
Answer: A.5 min
Explanation: Alana will arrive in 60 minutes.
The total meal preparation time is 13 (fish finger defrost) + 6 (fish finger cook) + 24 (custard cook) + 6 (custard cool) + 1 (plate time) = 50 minutes.
Alan therefore has 10 minutes (60-50 = 10) to play his football video game.
As football matches have two halves, Alan have select 5 minute halves (10/2 = 5)

Question: In a 1000 m race, A beats B by 60 m and B beats C by 100 m. In the same race, by how many meters does A beat C?
A.154 m
B.176 m
C.268 m
D.129 m
Answer: A.154 m
Explanation: By the time A covers 1000 m, B covers (1000 - 60) = 940 m.
By the time B covers 1000 m, C covers (1000 - 100) = 900 m.
So, the ratio of speeds of A and C =
1000/940 * 1000/900 = 1000/846 So, by the time A covers 1000 m, C covers 846 m.
So in 1000 m race A beats C by 1000 - 846 = 154 m.

At the end of the second week, there are 5A new members (since each 5 new members from the previous week brings A new members);
At the end of the third week, there are 5A^2 new members (since each 5A new members from the previous week brings A new members);
...
At the end of the twelfth week, there are 5A^11 new members (since each 5A^10 new members from the previous week brings A new members).
We are given that 5A^11=B. Out of the answers only D yields integer value for A: 5A^11=3^11 * 5^12 --> A=3*5=15.

Question: In an election between two candidates A and B, the number of valid votes received by A exceeds those received by B by 15% of the total number of votes polled. If 20% of the votes polled were invalid and a total of 8720 votes were polled, then how many valid votes did B get?
A.2160
B.2420
C.2834
D.3150
Answer: C.2834
Explanation: Let the total number of votes polled in the election be 100k.
Number of valid votes = 100k - 20% (100k) = 80k
Let the number of votes polled in favour of A and B be a and b respectively.
a - b = 15% (100k) => a = b + 15k
=> a + b = b + 15k + b
Now, 2b + 15k = 80k and hence b = 32.5k
It is given that 100k = 8720
32.5k = 32.5k/100k * 8720 = 2834
The number of valid votes polled in favour of B is 2834.

Question: A store sells a certain product at a fixed price per unit. At the product's current price, A units cost a total of exactly $300. If the price were lowered by $5 from its current value, then A + 2n units would cost exactly $300; if the price were raised by $5, then A – n units would cost exactly $300. What is the value of A?
A.10
B.15
C.20
D.25
Answer: C.20
Explanation: It got too complicated when I used algebra. Using plugging in, it was quite fast.
Price Quantity total value
p a pa = 300
p-5 a+2n (p-5)(a+2n) = 300
p+5 a-n (p+5)(a-n) = 300
Solving three equations for three unknowns. Tough!!
Plugging in, I always start with C. C was the answer here, so saved calculation!
Putting values in above equations:
Price Quantity total value
15 20 300
10 20+2n 300 -> 10(20 + 2n)=300 -> 200 +20n = 300 -> 20n = 100 -> n =5
20 15 300
So a = 20 satisfies all equations!!
Question: The average weight of 46 students in a class is 52 kg. 5 of them whose average weight is 48 kg leave the class and other 5 students whose average weight is 54 kg join the class. What is the new average weight (in kg) of the class ?
A.51 1⁄23
B.52 15/23
C.52 15⁄3
D.43.42
Answer: B.52 15/23
Explanation: Total weight of 46 students
= 46 × 52 = 2392 kg
Total weight of 5 students who leave
= 5 × 48 = 240 kg
Total weight of 5 students who join
= 5 × 54 = 270 kg
Therefore, new total weight of 46 students
= 2392 – 240 + 270 = 2422
⇒ New average weight = 2422⁄46 = 52 15/23 kg

C. x^2 + 13x + 13 = 0 => (2x -7) ( x - 1)
D. x^2 + 13x + 13 = 0 => (x + 6) (x + 7)
None of the answer equations have exactly both the same roots as the question equation, but at least one of them does share one of the two roots.
So IMO "B" is correct answer... because it shares the one root (part of the solution), -3, from the (x+3) portion of its factoring

Question: A machine P can print one lakh books in 8 hours, machine Q can print the same number of books in 10 hours while machine R can print them in 12 hours. All the machines are started at 9 A.M. while machine P is closed at 11 A.M. and the remaining two machines complete work. Approximately at what time will the work (to print one lakh books) be finished ?
A.1:00 P.M.
B.2:00 P.M
C.1:30 P.M.
D.2:30 P.M.
Answer: A.1:00 P.M.
Explanation: (P + Q + R)'s 1 hour's work =	(	1	+	1	+	1	)	=	37	.
8	10	12	120
Work done by P, Q and R in 2 hours =	(	37	x 2	)	=	37	.
120	60
Remaining work =	(	1 -	37	)	=	23	.
60	60
(Q + R)'s 1 hour's work =	(	1	+	1	)	=	11	.
10	12	60
Now,	11	work is done by Q and R in 1 hour.
60
So,	23	work will be done by Q and R in	(	60	x	23	)	=	23	hours = 2 hours.
60	11	60	11
So, the work will be finished approximately 2 hours after 11 A.M., i.e., around 1 P.M.
Option A
Question: In a certain state, gasoline stations compute the price per gallon p, in dollars, charged at the pump by adding a 3 percent sales tax to the dealer's price per gallon d, in dollars, and then adding a gasoline tax of $0.18 per gallon. Which of the following gives the dealer's price per gallon d in terms of the price per gallon p charged at the pump?
A.d = (p-0.03)/1.18
B.d = p/1.21
C.d= (p-0.18)/1.03
D.d = p-0.20
Answer: C.d= (p-0.18)/1.03
Explanation: Let dealers price (d) be 1. so adding 3% to dealers price is d+ 3% of d. i.e. 1 + 3% of 1 which is1 + 0.03. then add 0.18 to the value.
Now 1.03 + 0.18. this is now 1.21. you have the gasoline stations price (p) as 1.21 dollars.
Now sub 1.21 in the options to know which option gave you d = 1. d must equal 1 because you earlier picked 1 as the value of d in the question.
PS: always remember to start from E upwards.

Question: In order to fulfill a local school’s request for a cakes, B parents agreed to each bake an equal number of cakes. If p of the parents did not bake any cakes, which of the following represents the additional number of cakes that each of the other parents had to bake in order for the school’s request for a cakes to be fulfilled?
A.pa/(B(B-p))
B.pa/2
C.pa/B
D.p/B-p
Answer: A.pa/(B(B-p))
Explanation: No of cakes each parent has to bake : a/B
No of parents did not bake cake = p
No of cakes that were not baked by p parents = p*a/B
No of parents has to bake additional cakes = B-p
additional number of cakes that each of the other parents had to bake in order for the school’s request for a cakes = pa/(B(B - P))
