C.1,073,751,842
D.1,073,751,806
Answer: B.1,073,751,824
Explanation: Given that the answers have different last digits, there are several ways to solve this, but the most straight forward way is to check the algorithm. 4^n has a cycle of 1.
4^1 = 4
4^2 = 16
4^3 = 64
Observe that the last digit of the resultant of 4^1 and 4^3 is 4. If we continue 4^n, the last digit follows the pattern 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 6, .... So, all we need look for is the last digit in the pattern.
Cycle of 1, power of 15, last digit is 4.

Question: In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'LEADING' be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together?
A.720
B.127
C.137
D.129
Answer: A.720
Explanation: The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.
When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).
Now, 5 (4 + 1) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

Question: In a 1000 m race, A beats B by 50 m and B beats C by 100 m. In the same race, by how many meters does A beat C?
A.145m
B.829m
C.822m
D.929m
Answer: A.145m
Explanation: By the time A covers 1000 m, B covers (1000 - 50) = 950 m.
By the time B covers 1000 m, C covers (1000 - 100) = 900 m.
So, the ratio of speeds of A and C =
1000/950 * 1000/900 = 1000/855 So, by the time A covers 1000 m, C covers 855 m.
So in 1000 m race A beats C by 1000 - 855 = 145 m.

Question: An article costs Rs. 600. What should be the marked price of an article so that after 10% discount, the trader makes 20% profit?
A.Rs. 802
B.Rs. 800
C.Rs. 8029
D.Rs. 888
Answer: B.Rs. 800
Explanation: Explanation:
Cost price of article = Rs. 600
Profit % = 20%
Therefore,
selling price of article = 120% of C.P.
= (120 / 100) * 600 = Rs. 720
Marked price = ?
Discount % = 10%
S.P. = Rs. 720
90% of M.P. = S.P.
90/100 * M.P. = 720
M.P. = 720 * (100/90) = Rs. 800'

Question: Total 100 members are writing exam. In the 48 members are writing first exam. 45 members are writing second exam. 38 members are writing third exam. 5 members are writing all the three exams. How many members are writing 2 exams?
A.66
B.21
C.88
D.719
Answer: B.21
Explanation: otal number of exams written by 100 students = 48 + 45 + 38 = 131
Now let us say x members are writing only 1 exam, y members are writing only 2 exams, z members are writing only 3 exams.
Therefore, x + 2y + 3z = 131 also x + y + z = 100.
Given that z = 5. So x + 2y = 116 and x + y = 95.
Solving we get y = 21.
So 21 members are writing exactly 2 exams.

Question: Shopkeeper rise price by 34% and gives successive discount of 10% and 15%. What is overall % gain or loss?
A.2.51%
B.4.51%
C.3.51%
D.6.51%
Answer: A.2.51%
Explanation: Let d initial price be 100
34 % rise
now price = 134/100*100 = 134
10% discount
Then price = 134 * 90/100 = 120.6
15 % discount
Then price = 120.6 * 85/100 = 102.51
So Gain = 102.51 - 100 = 2.51
Gain % = Gain * 100 /CP
==> 2.51 * 100 /100 = 2.51%

Question: The difference of two numbers is 11. One third of their sum is 7. What are the two numbers?
A.21,10
B.16,5
C.3,14
D.11,10
Answer: B.16,5
Explanation: Let the two numbers be x and y.
Equation (i): x - y = 11
Equation (ii): (x + y)/3 = 7
Solve system of equations:
x + y = 21
x - y = 11
(add equations together) --- 2x = 32 --- x=16
16 - y = 11 --- y=5
Since x=16 and y=5, answer B (16,5) is correct.
Question: A shade of paint is made by evenly mixing m gallons of white paint, costing $12 a gallon, with n gallons of blue paint, costing $30. What is the cost, in dollars per gallon, of the resulting mixture?
A.12m +30n
B.42(12m +30n)
C.(12m +30n)/42
D.(12m +30n)/(M+ N)
Answer: D.(12m +30n)/(M+ N)
Explanation: M gallons of white paint and N gallons of blue paint are combined to form a new mixture. The total number of gallons in the new mixture will be M + N gallons
M gallons of white paint cost $12, so the cost of adding this mixture is 12M
N gallons of blue paint cost $30, so the cost of adding this mixture is 30N
The cost per gallon of the new mixture is equal to the total cost of all the paint used divided by the total number of gallons used to produce it:
cost of new mixture: 12M + 30N
total gallons used: M+N
cost per gallon = total cost/total gallons used = (12M + 30N)/(M+N)

Question: A person invested in all Rs. 2600 at 4%, 6% and 8% per annum simple interest. At the end of the year, he got the same interest in all the three cases. The money invested at 4% is?
A.3888
B.2799
C.2799
D.1200
Answer: D.1200
Explanation: Let the parts be x, y and [2600 - (x + y)].
Then,
(x * 4 * 1)/100 = (y * 6 * 1)/100 = {[2600 - (x + y)] * 8 * 1}/100
y/x = 4/6 = 2/3 or y = 2/3 x
So, (x * 4 * 1)/100 = [(2600 - 5/3 x) * 80/100
52x = (7800 * 8) => x = 1200
Money invested at 4% = Rs. 1200.Answer:D

A.4/15
B.13/15
C.56/15
D.6/15
Answer: B.13/15
Explanation: Method-1
AB will be odd when
1) A is odd and B is even, Probability of A odd is (2/3) and Probability of B even is (2/5), so Probability of Case(1) = (2/3)*(2/5) = (4/15)
2) A is even and B is odd, Probability of A even is (1/3) and Probability of B odd is (3/5), so Probability of Case(2) = (1/3)*(3/5) = (3/15)
3) A is odd and B is odd, Probability of A odd is (2/3) and Probability of B odd is (3/5), so Probability of Case(1) = (2/3)*(3/5) = (6/15)
Total Favorable Probability = (4/15)+(3/15)+(6/15) = (13/15)

A.2889
B.2798
C.1052
D.2789
Answer: C.1052
Explanation: S.I. = (956 - 800) = Rs. 156.
Rate = (100 * 156) / (800 * 3) = 6 1/2 %
Now rate = (6 1/2 + 4) = 10 1/2 %
New S.I. = (800 * 21/2 * 3/100) = Rs. 252
New amount = (800 + 252)
= Rs.1052.

Answer: A.None
Explanation: given 2x/y is prime and greater than 2.
=> 2x/y could be any of the following
3,5,7....
=> 2x/y is odd and prime (as 2 is the only even prime number and its not in this set)
1. x = y , can't be true
if x=y , 2x/y = 2 which is not odd and prime.
2. y=1. can't be true.
if y=1,2x/y = 2x = even which is not odd & prime.
3. x and y are prime integers, need not be true.
lets say 2x/y = 3 and say y=2 prime
=>x = 6/2 = 3 prime
satisfies the given condition here.
but when 2x/y = 3 and y=5 prime
=> x = 15/2 not prime

Question: A student was asked to find the arithmetic mean of the numbers 3, 11, 7, 9, 15, 13, 8, 19, 17, 21, 14 and x. He found the mean to be 12. What should be the number in place of x ?
A.8
B.7
C.6
D.5
Answer: B.7
Explanation: Clearly, we have (3 + 11 + 7 + 9 + 15 + 13 + 8 + 19 + 17 + 21 + 14 + x) / 12 = 12.
or 137 + x = 144 o144 - 137 = 7.
Answer: B
Question: For the positive numbers, n, n + 3, n + 5, n + 8, and n + 9, the mean is how much greater than the median?
A.0
B.1
C.n+l
D.n+2
Answer: A.0
Explanation: Let’s first calculate the mean (arithmetic average).
mean = sum/quantity
mean = (n + n + 3 + n + 5 + n + 8 + n + 9)/5
mean = (5n + 25)/5
mean = n + 5
Next, we determine the median. The median is the middle value when the terms are ordered from least to greatest. The terms ordered from least to greatest are as follows:
n, n + 3, n + 5, n + 8, n + 9
The median is n + 5.
Finally we are asked how much greater the mean is than the median. To determine the difference we can subtract the smaller value (the median) from the larger value (the mean) and we get:
n + 5 – (n + 5) = n + 5 – n – 5 = 0
The answer is A
Question: If p/5 = r/2 and r = 0.75s, what is the ratio of p to r to s?

D.6 : 4 : 3
Answer: C.15 : 6 : 8
Explanation: p/5=r/2, r=0.75s, what is p:r:s?
we get p/r=5/2 and r/s=3/4, so
5/3*3/2 and 2/2*3/4
15/6 and 6/8

A.1 km
B.2 km
C.3.3 km
D.4 km
Answer: C.3.3 km
Explanation: C
3 km
Let the total distance be 3x km.
Then, x/3 + x/4 + x/5 = 52/60
47x/60 = 52/60 => x = 1.1
Total distance = 3 * 1.1= 3.3 km.
Question: A company issued 20000 shares of par value Rs. 10 each. If the total divided declared by the company is Rs.24000, find the rate of dividend paid by the company.
A.10
B.11
C.12
D.13
Answer: C.12
Explanation: Number of shares = 20000
Face value of each share = Rs.10
