Question: Can C and can В are both right circular cylinders. The radius of can C is twice the radius of can B, while the height of can C is half the height of can B. If it costs $4.00 to fill half of can B with a certain brand of gasoline, how much would it cost to completely fill can C with the same brand of gasoline?
Options:
A) $1
B) $2
C) $4
D) $8
E) $16
Rationale: Let x be the radius of b and 2h be the height of B. Therefore, radius of C = 2x and height = h
Vol of b = 3.14*x^2*2h
Vol of a = 3.14*4x^2*h
cost to fill half of B = $4 --> cost to fill full B = $8
--> 3.14*x^2*2h = 8 --> 3.14*x^2*h = 4 --> 4*(3.14*x^2*h) = $16

Question: The average height of 35 boys in a class was calculated as 184cm. 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?
Options:
A)187.89 cm
B)182.29 cm
C)123.98 cm
D)149.98 cm
E)146.89 cm
Rationale: Calculated average height of 35 boys = 184 cm.
Wrong total height of 35 boys = 184 * 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 = 183 cm - (166 cm + 106 cm)/35
= 184 cm - 60 /35 cm
= 184 cm - 1.71 cm = 182.29 cm.

E)e) 120
Rationale: One specific boy is seated to either of end seat, lets call him b1
One specific girl is seated in the middle, lets call her g1
Note the question says *specific girl* and *specific boy*, so we do not consider for example the other girl , g2, being seated on seat #4. Same goes with the specific boy, b1.
b1 can be seated 2 different seats : 2!
g1 is seated on the seat #4, fixed (no other alternative) : 1
the remaining 5 seats can be filled with the remaining people b2,b3,g2,w1,w2: 5!
2! x 1 x 5! = 240

Question: What is the greatest prime factor of 42^2+75^2+6300
Options:
A)3
B)7
C)11
D)13
E)79
Rationale: 42^2 = (50-8)(50-8) = 1764
75^2 = (100-25)(100-25) = 5625
1764+5625+6300 = 13689
this number is divisible by 3 and 9
divide by 9 and get 1521, the sum of this number is again a multiple of 9, thus we can divide it one more time by 9. we get 169, and 169 is 13^2. thus the answer is 13.

Answer: D
Question: If 5 machines can produce 20 units in 10 hours, how long would it take 20 machines to produce 180 units?
Options:
A)50 hours
B)40 hours
C)22.5 hours
D)12 hours
E)8 hours
Rationale: Here, we're told that 5 machines can produce 20 units in 10 hours....
That means that EACH machine WORKS for 10 hours apiece. Since there are 5 machines (and we're meant to assume that each machine does the same amount of work), then the 5 machines equally created the 20 units.
20 units/5 machines = 4 units are made by each machine every 10 hours
Now that we know how long it takes each machine to make 4 units, we can break THIS down further if we choose to...
10 hours/4 units = 2.5 hours per unit when 1 machine is working.
The prompt asks us how long would it take 20 machines to produce 180 units.
If 20 machines each work for 2.5 hours, then we'll have 20 units. Since 180 units is '9 times' 20, we need '9 times' more TIME.
(2.5 hours)(9 times) = 22.5 hours

C)1:2
D)2:5
E)2:11
Rationale: Let x be the area of each face of the cube.
The area painted red is 4(x/2) = 2x
The area painted white is 4(x/2) + 2x = 4x
The ratio of red to white is 2x:4x which is 1:2.

Question: If the range W of the six numbers 4,3,14,7,10 and x is 12, what is the difference between the greatest possible value of x and least possible value of x?
Options:
A)	0
B)	2
C)	12
D)	13
E)	15
Rationale: The range W of a set is the difference between the largest and smallest elements of a set.
Without x, the difference between the largest and smallest elements of a set is 14-3=11<12, which means that in order 12 to be the range of the set x must be either the smallest element so that 14-x=12 ---> x=2 OR x must the largest element so that x-3=12 --> x=15.
The the difference between the greatest possible value of x and least possible value of x is 15-2=13.

Question: Aravind had $ 2100 left after spending 30 % of the money he took for shopping. How much money did he
take along with him?
Options:
A)4000
B)3000
C)4500
D)5000
E)5500
Rationale: Let the money he took for shopping be m.
Money he spent = 30 % of m
= 30/100 × m
= 3/10 m
Money left with him = m – 3/10 m = (10m – 3m)/10 = 7m/10
But money left with him = $ 2100
Therefore 7m/10 = $ 2100
m = $ 2100× 10/7
m = $ 21000/7
m = $ 3000
Therefore, the money he took for shopping is $ 3000.

Question: A number is four less than two times the other number. If their difference is 21, what is the greater number?
Options:
A)50
B)46
C)31
D)21
E)15
Rationale: A = one number
B = other number
A = -4 + 2B
A - B = 21
solve for A by adding B to each side
A = B + 21
Substitute (B + 21) for A in A = -4 + 2B
(B + 21) = -4 + 2B
add -B to each side
21 = -4 + B
add 4 to each side
25 = B
Since A = B + 21 , A = 25 + 21 , A = 46

Question: A boat covers a certain distance downstream in 1 hour, while it comes back in 1.30 hours. If the speed of the stream be 3 kmph, what is the speed of the boat in still water?
Options:
A)10
B)13
C)11
D)08
E)15
Rationale: Let the speed of the water in still water =x
Given that speed of the stream = 3 kmph
Speed downstream =(x+3) kmph
Speed upstream =(x−3) kmph
He travels a certain distance downstream in 1 hour and come back in 1 1⁄2 hour.
i.e., distance travelled downstream in 1 hour = distance travelled upstream in 1 1⁄2 hour
Since distance = speed × time, we have
(x+3)×1=(x−3)3/2
⇒2(x+3)=3(x−3)
⇒2x+6=3x−9
⇒x=6+9=15 kmph
Answer is E.

Options:
A)d
B)2d
C)15d
D)d + 5
E)d + 15
Rationale: If we add or subtract a constant to each term in a set:
Mean will increase or decrease by the same constant.
SD will not change.
If we increase or decrease each term in a set by the same percent (multiply by a constant):
Mean will increase or decrease by the same percent.
SD will increase or decrease by the same percent.
So in our case SD will change by same multiple (% increase) as we are multiplying each number in a set by 2--> SD=2d.

Question: Harriet planned to complete a certain task on Wednesday, January 1, but because of illness the completion date was postponed 44 days. On which day of the week in February was the task completed?
Options:
A)Monday
B)Tuesday
C)Wednesday
D)Thursday
E)Friday
Rationale: This type of story problem is essentially just about a repeating pattern and a 'remainder.'
We're told that Harriet planned to complete a certain task on WEDNESDAY, January 1, but because of illness the completion date was postponed 44 DAYS. We're asked on what day of the week the task was actually completed on.
Since the task was supposed to be completed on a Wednesday....
A 1 day postponement would be Thursday
A 2 day postponement would be Friday
A 3 day postponement would be Saturday
A 4 day postponement would be Sunday
A 5 day postponement would be Monday
A 6 day postponement would be Tuesday
A 7 day postponement would be Wednesday
A 8 day postponement would be Thursday
Etc.
So this question is ultimately asking how many 'groups of 7' are there, and how many 'leftover days' are there, when you postpone 44 days.
44/7 = 6 remainder 2
This means that there are 6 full weeks AND 2 extra days after a Wednesday....Thus, the task was completed on a Friday.

Question: The average monthly income of P and Q is Rs. 5050. The average monthly income of Q and R is 6250 and the average monthly income of P and R is Rs. 5200. The monthly income of P is?
Options:
A)Rs.4078
B)Rs.4000
C)Rs.4029
D)Rs.4027
E)Rs.4020
Rationale: Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:
P + Q = (5050 * 2) = 10100 --- (i)
Q + R = (6250 * 2) = 12500 --- (ii)
P + R = (5200 * 2) = 10400 --- (iii)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:
2(P + Q + R) = 33000 = P + Q + R = 16500 --- (iv)
Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get, P = 4000.
P's monthly income = Rs.4000.
