Question: There are 6 boxes numbered 1, 2,3,4,5 and 6. Each box is to be filled up either with a red or a green ball in such a way that at least 1 box contains a green ball & the boxes containing green balls are consecutively numbered. The total no. of ways in which this can be done is?
Options:
A)18
B)20
C)21
D)23
E)26
Rationale: If only one of the boxes has a green ball, it can be any of the 6 boxes. So, this can be achieved in 6 ways.
If two of the boxes have green balls and then there are 5 consecutive sets of 2 boxes. 12, 23, 34, 45, 56.
Similarly, if 3 of the boxes have green balls, there will be 4 options.
If 4 boxes have green balls, there will be 3 options.
If 5 boxes have green balls, then there will be 2 options.
If all 6 boxes have green balls, then there will be just 1 options.
Total number of options = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21

Question: F is the set of the first n positive odd numbers, where n is a positive integer. Given that n > k, where k is also a positive integer, x is the maximum value of the sum of k distinct members of F, and y is the minimum value of the sum of k distinct members of F, what is x + y?
Options:
A) kn
B) kn + k^2
C) kn + 2k^2
D) 2kn – k^2
E) 2kn
Rationale: Probably the easiest way to solve this question would be to assume some values for n and k.
Say n=3, so F, the set of the first n positive odd numbers would be: F={1, 3, 5};
Say k=1, so X, the maximum value of the sum of K distinct members of F would simply be 5. Similarly, Y, the minimum value of the sum of K distinct members of F would simply be 1.
X+Y=5+1=6.
Now, substitute n=3 and k=1 in the options provided to see which one yields 6. Only asnwer choice E fits: 2kn=2*3*1=6.

Question: Mr X, a businessman, had income in the year 1995 such that he earned a profit of 20% on his investment in the business. In the year 1996 his investment was less by 3000 but still had the same income (Income = Investment + Profit) as that in 1995. Thus the per cent profit earned in 1996 increased by 6%. What was his investment in 1995?
Options:
A)100000
B)100500
C)63000
D)Data inadequate

Question: A three digit number divisible by 7 becomes divisible by 3 when 16 is subtracted from it. The largest such number is :
Options:
A)994
B)981
C)963
D)951
E)942
Rationale: Out of all the 5 options, only 994 is NOT divisible by 3. All others are divisible
So Answer = A (No further calculation required)
Addition of any two non-divisible numbers by 3 gives the resultant divisible by 3
16 is non-divisible by 3; we are subtracting a number from that so that the resultant becomes divisible by 3
Applying the above rule,It means that the number which we are going to add should be non-divisible by 3
So comes the answer = 994

Question: John has 6 pairs of shoes; each pair is a different color. If Kim randomly selects 2 shoes without replacement from the 12 shoes, what is the probability that she will select 2 shoes of the same color?
Options:
A)2/5
B)1/5
C)1/9
D)1/8
E)1/11
Rationale: Can be tackled in this way as well: Probability of selecting any 1 out of 12 shoes = 12/12 = 1
Probability of selecting the next shoe (out of 12 available) having the same color = 1/9 (as after selecting the 1st one, there is only 1 another shoe left with the same color).
Thus the total probability = 1*1/11=1/11.
E is the correct answer.

Question: Three competing juice makers conducted a blind taste test with mall shoppers. The shoppers could choose to taste any number of the three brands of juices but had to select at least one juice that they liked. If 100 shoppers liked brand J, 200 shoppers liked brand K, 700 shoppers liked brand L, 350 shoppers liked exactly 2 juices, and 100 shoppers liked all three juices, how many shoppers took the taste test?
Options:
A)1,300
B)1,000
C)900
D)700
E)450
Rationale: Given: Atleast 1 juice was liked by the participants. --> Neither = 0
Assume, I -->No overlap between the sets
II --> Overlap between 2 sets
III --> Overlap between 3 sets
I + 2*(II) + 3*(III) = 100 + 200 + 700
I + 2*(350) + 3*(100) = 1000
I = 0
Total number of shoppers who took the taste test = I + II + III = 0 + 350 +100 = 450

Question: Two trains are traveling on a collision course. If train A is traveling at a speed of 350 mph and train B is traveling 28% slower, how much time will it take the trains to collide if the initial distance between the two is 1655.5 miles?
Options:
A)Two hours and 30 minutes.
B)One hour and 10 minutes.
C)Two hours and 45 minutes.
D)Three hours and 15 minutes.
E)Four hours and 20 minutes.
Rationale: Answer is C. Two hours and 45 minutes.
Since they are racing towards each other, the speed is accumulative, ie. 350 mph + 350*0.72 = 602 (0.72 because the second train is 28% slower)
So time before collision is total distance / total speed = 1655.5/602 = 2 hours and 45 mins

Question: A certain article of clothing was discounted during a special sale to 3/4 of its original retail price. When the clothing didn't sell, it was discounted even further to 2/5 of its original retail price during a second sale. By what percent did the price of this article of clothing decrease from the first sale to the second sale?
Options:
A)50%
B)33.33%
C)25%
D)46.66%
E)12.5%
Rationale: Say the original retail price of the item was $200.
The price after the first sale = 3/4 * $200 = $150.
The price after the second sale = 2/5 * $200 = $80.
The percent change from the first sale to the second = (150 -80) / 150 = 1/3 = 46.66%.

Question: A part-time employee’s hourly wage was increased by 20%. She decided to decrease the number of hours worked per week so that her total income did not change. By approximately what percent should the number of hours worked be decreased?
Options:
A)9%
B)17%
C)25%
D)50%
E)100%
Rationale: Let's plug in somenicenumbers and see what's needed.
Let's say the employee used to make $1/hour and worked 100 hours/week
So, the TOTAL weekly income was $100/week
After the 20% wage increase, the employee makes $1.20/hour
We want the employee's income to remain at $100/week.
So, we want ($1.20/hour)(new # of hours) = $100
Divide both sides by 1.20 to get:
new # of hours = 100/1.20
≈ 83 hours
So, the number of hours decreases from 100 hours to (approximately) 83 hours.
This represents a 17% decrease (approximately) .

Question: Average between two sets of numbers is closer to the set withmore numbers?
Options:
A)75
B)80
C)85
D)90
E)96
Rationale: 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.

Question: In how many ways can a group of 12 friends be seated round 2 tables if one of the tables can seat 8 and the other can seat 4 people?
Options:
A)15C5 * 9! *4!
B)15C3 * 8! *3!
C)15C4 * 9! *3!
D)15C2 * 10! *3!
E)12C4 * 7! * 3!
Rationale: 8 people can be selected from 12 people in 12C8 ways.
Remaining 4 people can be selected from 4 people in 4C4 ways.
Now, arranging 8 people on a round table = (8-1) ! = 7!
Arranging 4 people on a round table = (4-1) ! = 3!
Hence, total number of ways = 12C8 * 7! * 4C4 * 3!
= 12C4 * 7! * 3!

Question: What are the last two digits of 63*35*37*82*71*41*53?
Options:
A) 10
B) 30
C) 40
D) 70
E) 80
Rationale: We know that to find the last two digits, we need to find the remainder we get when we divide the product by 100.
Remainder of (63*35*37*82*71*41)/ 100
Note that we can simplify this expression by canceling out the 5 and 2 in the numerator and denominator. But before we do that, here is an important note:
Note: We cannot just cancel off the common terms in the numerator and denominator to get the remainder. But, if we want to cancel off to simplify the question, we can do it, provided we remember to multiply it back again.
So say, we want to find the remainder when 14 is divided by 10 i.e. 14/10 (remainder 4). But we cancel off the common 2 to get 7/5. The remainder here will be 2 which is not the same as the remainder obtained by dividing 14 by 10. But if we multiply 2 back by 2 (the number we canceled off), the remainder will become 2*2 = 4 which is correct.
Take another example to reinforce this – what is the remainder when 85 is divided by 20? It is 5.
We might rephrase it as – what is the remainder when 17 is divided by 4 (cancel off 5 from the numerator and the denominator). The remainder in this case is 1. We multiply the 5 back to 1 to get the remainder as 5 which is correct.
So keeping this very important point in mind, let’s go ahead and cancel the common 5 and 2.
We need the
Remainder of (63*7*37*41*71*41*5*2)/10*5*2
Remainder of (63*7*37*41*71*41)/10
Now using concept 2, let’s write the numbers in form of multiples of 10
Remainder of (60+3)*7*(30+7)*(40+1)*(70+1)*(40+1)/10
Remainder of 3*7*7*1*1*1/10
Remainder of 147/10 = 7
Now remember, we had canceled off 10 so to get the actual remainder so we need to multiply by 10: 7*10 = 70.
When 63*35*37*82*71*41 is divided by 100, the remainder is 70. So the last two digits of 63*35*37*82*71*41 must be 80.

Question: Set J consists of the terms {a, b, c, d, e}, where e > d > c > b > a >0.1. Which of the following operations would decrease the standard deviation of Set J?
Options:
A)Multiply each term by e/d
B)Divide each term by e/c
C)Multiply each term by −1
D)Divide each term by d/e
E)Multiply each term by 1
Rationale: CONCEPT: Standard Deviation is Defined as Average Deviation of Terms in the set from the Mean value of the set. i.e.
1) It depends on the separation between the successive terms of the set
2) If a Constant Value is Added/Subtracted in every terms of set then the Separation between successive terms does NOT change Hence S.D. remains Constant
3) If a Constant Value is Multiplied in every terms then the Separation between succesive terms gets multiplied by the constant Hence S.D. remains gets multiplied by same Number

Answer: B
Question: A can contains a mixture of liquids A and B is the ratio 7:5. When 6 litres of mixture are drawn off and the can is filled with B, the ratio of A and B becomes 7:9. How many liter of liquid A was contained by the can initially?
Options:
A)12
B)18
C)14
D)20
E)22
Rationale: Ci*Vi = Cf*Vf
(7/12)*(V1 - 6) = (7/16)*V1
(V1 - 6)/V1 = 3/4
6 accounts for the difference of 1 on ratio scale so Initial volume = V1 = 4*6 = 24 litres.
7/12 of the initial mixture was liquid A so liquid A was (7/12)*24 = 14 litres.

Question: Out of 40 applicants to a law school, 15 majored in political science, 20 had a grade point average higher than 3.0, and 10 did not major in political science and had a GPA equal to or lower than 3.0. How many R applicants majored in political science and had a GPA higher than 3.0?
Options:
A)5
B)10
C)15
D)25
E)35
Rationale: Total applicants = 40
Political science = 15 and Non political science = 40 - 15 = 25
GPA > 3.0 = 20 and GPA <= 3.0 = 20
10 Non political science students had GPA <= 3.0 --> 15 Non political science students had GPA > 3.0
GPA > 3.0 in political science = Total - (GPA > 3.0 in non political science) R= 20 - 15 = 5

Question: What is the perimeter, in meters, of a rectangular garden 24 meters wide that has the same area as a rectangular playground 16 meters long and 12 meters wide?
Options:
A)48
B)56
C)64
D)76
E)192
Rationale: Say Length of garden is L meters.
Then (L*24) = 16 * 12 [Given area is same. Area= L * B]
Therefore L works out to 8 meters.
Perimeter of Garden = 2* (8+24) = 64 meter.

Question: In a fuel station the service costs $2.10 per vehicle and every liter of fuel costs $0.70. Assuming that you fill up 3 mini-vans and 2 trucks, what will be the total cost, if a mini-van's tank is 65 liters and a truck's tank is 120% bigger and they are all empty?
Options:
A)$338.50
B)$341.40
C)$344.30
D)$347.20
E)$350.10
Rationale: The service cost of 3 vans and 2 trucks is 5*2.10 $10.50
The fuel in 3 vans is 3*65 = 195 liters
The fuel in 2 trucks is 2*65*2.2 = 286 liters
The total fuel (vans + trucks) = 481 liters
The total fuel cost is 481*0.7 = $336.70
The total cost is $336.70 + $10.50 = $347.20
The answer is D.
