Question: According to a survey, at least 65% of people like apples, at least 75% like bananas and at least 80% like cherries. What is the minimum percentage of people who like all three?
A.15%
B.20%
C.25%
D.0%
Answer: B.20%
Explanation: To minimize the percentage who like all three, let's maximize the percentage who like 2 out of 3.
80% like cherries and 20% don't like cherries.
Let's combine this with the people who like bananas.
20% don't like cherries but do like bananas.
55% like cherries and bananas.
25% like cherries but not bananas.
Now let's distribute the people who like apples.
20% like bananas and apples, but not cherries.
25% like cherries and apples, but not bananas.
20% like all three.
35% like cherries and bananas, but not apples.
The answer is B.

A.x^2 + 5x + 6 > 0
B.|x + 2| > 4
C.9x - 7 < 3x + 14
D.x^2 - 4x + 3 < 0
Answer: D.x^2 - 4x + 3 < 0
Explanation: Factorizing x^2 - 4x + 3 < 0 we get, (x - 3)(x - 1) < 0.
This inequality will hold good when one of the terms (x - 3) or (x - 1) is positive and the other is negative.
Evaluating both the options, we get 1 < x < 3. i.e., a finite range of values for "x".

Question: The average of four positive integers is 67. The highest integer is 93 and the least integer is 39. The difference between the remaining two integers is 28. Which of the following integers is the higher of the remaining two integers?
A.72
B.78
C.80
D.82
Answer: D.82
Explanation: Let the four integers be A, B, C and D where A > B > C > D.
(A + B + C + D)/4 = 67 => A + B + C + D = 268 ---> (1)
A = 93, D = 39 and B - C = 28
(1) => B + C = 268 - (A + D) = 268 - 132 = 136.
B + B -28 = 136
B = (136 + 28)/2 = 82

there will be 1 case when x,y,z will buy house a
another when they buy house b
and another when they buy house c
so the prob that they buy same house is 3*1/27=1/9
ANSWER:B
Question: X, Y, Z working alone finish constructing a house in 4, 6 and 12 hrs. resp. X starts alone and works for 1 hr. He is then joined by Y and they work together for 1 hr. Finally Z joins them and they all work together to finish the work. If they start working at 9 am, at what time will they finish?
A.11.30 am
B.11.35 am.
C.11.40 am.
D.12 am
Answer: C.11.40 am.
Explanation: Let the total work be 12 units
Efficiency of X = 3 units/ hour
Efficiency of Y = 2 units/ hour
Efficiency of Z = 1 units/ hour
So, X completes 3 units of work by 10 am
So, X and Y completes 5 units of work by 11 am
Work left is 4 units ( 12 - 3 - 5 ) and combined efficiency of X, Y and Z is 6 units
So, time required to complete 4 units will be 4/6 => 4/6*60 = 40 minutes...
So they will require 40 minutes after 11 am to complete the remaining work...
Hence answer will be (C) 11:40 am

Question: At the beginning of 2011, Albert invests $15,000 at 10% simple annual interest, $6,000 at 7% simple annual interest, and $x at 8% simple annual interest. If, by the end of 2011, Albert receives interest totaling 9% of the sum of his three investments, then the ratio of $x to the sum of his two other investments is
A.1 : 3
B.1 : 4
C.1 : 6
D.1 : 7
Answer: D.1 : 7
Explanation: Total interest earned = (10/100)*15000 + (7/100)*6000 + (8/100)*x = (192,000+8x)/100
Also, Total interest earned = (9/100)*(15000 + 6000 + x) = (9/100)*(21000 + x)
i.e. (9/100)*(21000 + x) = (192,000+8x)/100
i.e. 189,000 + 9x = 192,000+8x
i.e. x = 3000
Required ratio = x / (15000 +6000) = 3000 / 21000 = 1/7

Question: The average height of 35 boys in a class was calculated as 180cm. It has later found that the height of one of the boys in the class was wrongly written as 166 cm whereas his actual height was 106 cm. Find the actual average height of the boys in the class (Round off your answer to two decimal places)?
A.178.26
B.178.29
C.178.2
D.178.23
Answer: B.178.29
Explanation: Calculated average height of 35 boys = 180 cm.
Wrong total height of 35 boys = 180 * 35 cm. This was as a result of an actual height of 106 cm being wrongly written as 166 cm. Correct total height of 35 boys = 180 * 35 cm - 166 cm + 106 cm
= 180 * 35 cm - 166 cm + 106 cm/35 = 180 cm - 60 /35 cm
= 180 cm - 1.71 cm = 178.29 cm.

D.(bc)/2
Answer: B.g + c
Explanation: I did get the correct answer within 80 seconds and it was not by luck either. I did not pick numbers but just used the concept stated by Ian.
The 3 numbers can be written as
a, (a + 2)(a + 4).
If 'a' is divisible by 4, then even 'c' or 'a + 4' is divisible by 4. However, is 'b' is divisible by 4, then both 'a' and 'a + 4' are still divisible by 2.
A - (a + c) = a + (a + 4) = 2a + 4 = 2(a + 2) = 2b. 2b will always be divisible by 4 even if 'b' is not divisible by 4. Reason: 'b' already has a prime factorization of at least a '2'. Hence '2b' has two 2s.
C - ac = a(a+4). If, as stated above, one of them is divisible by 4, then the product is divisible. If both of them are not divisible by 4, then the product is still divisible by 4 because of the presence of two 2s again in the prime factorization.
D - bc/2 = (a + 2)(a + 4)/2. Either b or c is divisible by 2. Hence, if we assume that b is divisible by 2 and not divisible by 4, then it leaves us just one possibility. Is c divisible by 4? It has to be because c is the next consecutive even integer.
E - abc/4 = a(a + 2)(a + 4)/4. One of these integers is divisible by 4 already. If we again assume 'b' to be that integer divisible by 4, then we are left with the question - Is a(a + 4) divisible by 4? This is the same as option C.
B - g + c = (a + 2) + (a + 4) = 2a + 6 = 2(a + 3). (a + 3) will never be divisible by 2 because it is an odd integer. Hence, 2(a + 3), although divisible by 2, will not be divisible by 4 because it has just one 2 in its prime factorization.
As a whole, whether you choose numbers (2, 46 being the easiest) or solve conceptually, the answer is still easily obtainable within 2 minutes.B

Question: Mean of 3 numbers is 10 more than the least of the numbers and 15 less than greatest of the 3. If the median of 3 numbers is 5, Find the sum of the 3 numbers?
A.33
B.30
C.28
D.27
Answer: B.30
Explanation: Ans: Median is when the given numbers are arranged in ascending order, the middle one. Let the numbers are x, 5, y where x is the least and y is greatest.
Given that x+5+y3=x+10x+5+y3=x+10
and x+5+y3=y−15x+5+y3=y−15
Solving we get x = 0 and y = 25.
So sum of the numbers = 0 + 5 + 25 = 30
Answer:B
Question: A number when divided by 5 gives a number which is 8 more than the remainder obtained on dividing the same number by 34. Such a least possible number V is
A.74
B.V=75
C.V=175
D.V=680
Answer: B.V=75
Explanation: I solved this question by plugging in numbers from the answer choices.
A.) 74
Starting with answer choice A, I immediately eliminated it because 74 is not even divisible by 5.
B.) 75
I divide 75/5 and get 15 as an answer. I divide 75/34 and get a remainder of 7.
15-7 = 8 so I know the correct answer isB

= 1/2 (20 + 18) * (13)
= 247 cm2
Answer:D
Question: Average between two sets of numbers is closer to the set withmore no's?
A.80
B.90
C.110
D.120
Answer: B.90
Explanation: If on a test three people answered 90% of the questions correctly and two people answered 80% correctly, then the average for the group is not 85% but rather 3×90+2×805=4305=86.3×90+2×805=4305=86.
Here, 90 has a weight of 3 => it occurs 3 times.
Whereas 80 has a weight of 2 => it occurs 2 times.
So the average is closer to 90 than to 80 as we have just calculated.
