Question: A mixture of 180 liters of wine and water contains 20% water. How much more water should be added so that water becomes 25% of the new mixture?
A.4 liters
B.8 liters
C.10 liters
D.12 liters
Answer: D.12 liters
Explanation: Number of liters of water in180 liters of the mixture = 20% of 120 = 20/100 * 180 = 36 liters.
P liters of water added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture.
Total amount of water becomes (36 + P) and total volume of mixture is (180 + P).
(36 + P) = 25/100 * (180 + P)
96+4P = 180+P
P = 12 liters.

Question: In a survey about potential presidential candidates A and B, 35% of the public like A and 53% like B. If the percentage of the public who like one candidate only is twice the percentage of the public who like both candidates, then what is the percentage of the public that like neither?
A.27%
B.34%
C.41%
D.22%
Answer: B.34%
Explanation: Let x be the percentage of people who like both.
Then the percentage of people who like only 1 but not both is 2x.
35% + 53% = 2x + 2(x) because the percentage who like both are counted twice.
Then x = 22% and 2x = 44%
100% = 22% + 44% + Neither
Neither = 34%
The answer is B.

Question: What is the sum of the digits of integer k, if k = (10^40- 46)
A.351
B.360
C.363
D.369
Answer: A.351
Explanation: There are 41 digits in 10^4
When we subtract 46 from it, there will be 40 digits left.
10^4 can be written as 9999999....(40 times) + 1
So,
10^40 - 46 = 9999999....(40 times) + 1 - 46 = 9999999....(40 times) -45
Consider the last 2 digits,
99-45 = 54
The last 2 digits will be 54.
And our number would be 99999......99954 with 2 less 9s after subtraction.
Number of 9s left are 38 and the last two digits are 54
The sum of the digits will be
(38*9) + 5 + 4 =351

Question: The arithmetic mean of set M is zero. If N = {-2.22; -1.96; -1.68; 1.62; 1.94; 2.16} is the subset of M consisting of all those elements in M which are more than two but less than three standard deviations away from the arithmetic mean of M, what could be equal to the standard deviation of M?
A.0.54
B.0.77
C.0.82
D.0.97
Answer: B.0.77
Explanation: This is a fairly straightforward question that can be solved quickly by just applying the options
We are provided with Mean, m= 0
and N = {-2.22; -1.96; -1.68; 1.62; 1.94; 2.16} is the subset of M
N consists of all those elements in M that are more than 2 but less than 3 MDs away from the arithmetic mean of M
If an element is 1 MD away from the mean, we can write it as either m + MD or m - MD
Similarly, if an element is 2 MDs away from the mean, we can write it as either m + 2*MD or m - 2*MD
So, if these elements lie within 2 and 3 MDs of mean, m=0
we can find which one of these values of MD satisfies each value within N
Only MD = 0.77 does

Question: Train X and train Y pass one another traveling in opposite directions. Sixty minutes later they are 100 miles apart. If train X’s constant speed is 30 miles per hour greater than train Y’s, how far does train X travel during that time?
A.28
B.40
C.65
D.72
Answer: C.65
Explanation: Let the rate of the Train Y be R
Then the rate of the Train X will be R+30 (given)
As per relative rate concept, the rate at which they are increasing the distance between them is R+(R+30) [add the rates] i.e. 2R+30
d=100 and t = 1 hr
using RTD table, (2R+30) * 1 = 100 ==> R= 35 miles/hr
So the rate of train X is 65 miles/hr (since R+30)
The distance traveled by Train X in 60 min is R*T = 65 * 60/60 = 65 miles (C)

Question: In the first week of last month, Company X realized an average wholesale profit of $1428 per day from the sale of q units of Product Y. Which of the following CANNOT be the difference between Product Y’s sale price and cost per unit?
A.$3
B.$4
C.$7
D.$13
Answer: D.$13
Explanation: The key operator that everyone seems to have missed is the average. The average profit of $1428 per day is equivalent to a total profit of $9996 for the whole week.
Therefore, the difference between sale price and cost per unit is equal to $9996, which is divisible by all of the answer choices, except for 13.
So, D is the answer.
Question: Ritesh and Co. generated revenue of Rs. 1,500 in 2006. This was 12.5% of its gross revenue. In 2007, the gross revenue grew by Rs. 2,500. What is the percentage increase in the revenue in 2007?
A.12.5%
B.20.83%
C.25%
D.50%
Answer: B.20.83%
Explanation: Explanation :
Given, Ritesh and Co. generated revenue of Rs. 1,500 in 2006 and that this was 12.5% of the gross revenue.
Hence, if 1250 is 12.5% of the revenue, then 100% (gross revenue) is:
=>(100/12.5)×1500.
=>12,000.
Hence, the total revenue by end of 2007 is Rs. 12,000. In 2006, revenue grew by Rs. 2500. This is a growth of:
=>(2500/12000)×100.
=>20.83%.

Explanation: The product of first ‘n’ natural numbers is denoted by n!.
n! = n(n-1) (n-2) ………………..3.2.1.
Ex. 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 =120
Note 0! = 1
Proof n! =n, (n-1)!
Or (n-1)! = [n x (n-1)!]/n = n! /n
Putting n = 1, we have
O! = 1!/1
or 0 = 1
