Question: Ramu rides his bike at an average speed of 45 km/hr and reaches his desitination in four hours. Somu covers the same distance in six hours. If Ramu covered his journey at an average speed which was 9 km/hr less and Somu covered his journey at an average speed which was 10 km/hr more, then the difference in their times taken to reach the destination would be (in minutes).
Options:
A)31 minutes
B)37 minutes
C)32 minutes
D)30 minutes
E)33 minutes
Rationale: 30 minutes
Distance travelled by Ramu = 45 * 4 = 180 km
Somu travelled the same distance in 6 hours.
His speed = 180/6 = 30 km/hr
Hence in the conditional case, Ramu's speed = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr and Somu's speed = 30 + 10 = 40km/hr.
Therefore travel time of Ramu and Somu would be 5 hours and 4.5 hours respectively. Hence difference in the time taken = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes.

Question: The price of 10 chairs is equal to that of 4 tables. The price of 15 chairs and 2 tables together is Rs. 4000. The total price of 12 chairs and 3 tables is:
Options:
A)Rs. 3500
B)Rs. 3750
C)Rs. 3840
D)Rs. 3900
E)None
Rationale: EXPLANATION
Let the cost of a chair and that of a table be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
Then, 10x = 4y or y = 5b/2 x
15x + 2y = 4000
15x + 2 x 5/2 x= 4000
20x = 4000
x = 200.
So, y = 172 = 500.
Hence, the cost of 12 chairs and 3 tables = 12x + 3y
= Rs. (2400 + 1500)
= Rs. 3900.

Question: A two digit number when 18 added becomes another two digit number with reversed digits. How many such two digit numbers are possible?
Options:
A)2
B)3
C)7
D)8
E)9
Rationale: Explanation:
Let the two digit number be 'ab' and the number formed after adding 18 to it is 'ba'
So ab + 18 = ba
⇒⇒ (10a + b) + 18 = 10b + a
⇒⇒ 18 = 9b – 9a
⇒⇒ 2 = b – a
So we know that ab, ba both are two digit numbers so a, b ≠≠ 0.
Also when b = 9, a = 7; b = 8, a = 6; b = 7, a = 5; b = 6, a = 4; b = 5, a = 3; b = 4, a = 2; b = 3, a = 1
Total 7 combinations are possible.

Persons	30	:	78	:: 12 : x
Working hours/day	6	:	5
30 x 6 x x = 78 x 5 x 12
x =	(78 x 5 x 12)/(30 x 6)
x = 26.

Question: A container holds 4 quarts of milk and 4 quarts of water. How many quarts of water must be added to the container to create a mixture that is 3 parts milk to 5 parts water by volume?
Options:
A)4/3
B)5/3
C)7/3
D)8/3
E)10/3
Rationale: An alternate to the alligation method is the more direct/algebraic method:
Let x be the amount of water to be added.
New total amount of water = 4+x
Total amount of milk= 4
New total = 4+4+x=8+x
Final ratio required (for water) = 5/(5+3)=5/8
Thus, (4+x)/(8+x) = 5/8 --> solving for x you get x = 8/3.
D is thus the correct answer.

If 60% of the attendees who paid their conference fee in full did not register at least two weeks in advance, what percent of conference attendees registered at least two weeks in advance?
Options:
A) 18.0%
B) 62.0%
C) 79.2%
D) 55.0%
E) 82.0%
Rationale: Refer to the table in the attachment:
Let x= No. of members who have paid in Full
60 % members paid in full and did not register in advance = 0.6x
22 % registerd in advance and paid in full.
So if total No. of members = 100, then 22 members paid Full and registered in advance.
Hence total members who paid full amount = 0.6x + 22 =x
0.4x =22
Hence x = 55
i.e. 55 out of 100 or 55 %

Question: If x and y are numbers such that (x+8)(y-8)=0, what is the smallest possible value of x^2 + y^2
Options:
A)4
B)24
C)54
D)64
E)94
Rationale: From (x+8)(y-8)=0 it follows that either, x=-8 or y=8. Thus either x^2=64 or y^2=64.
Now, if x^2=64, then the least value of y^2 is 0, so the least value of x^2 + y^2 = 64 + 0 = 64.
Similarly if y^2=64, then the least value of x^2 is 0, so the least value of x^2 + y^2 = 0 + 64 = 64.

Question: A certain telephone company offers two plans, A and B. Under plan A, the company charges a total of $0.60 for the first 9 minutes of each call and $0.06 per minute thereafter. Under plan B, the company charges $0.08 per minute of each call. What is the duration of a call, in minutes, for which the company charges the same amount under plan A and under plan B?
Options:
A)3
B)9
C)15
D)21
E)30
Rationale: Let the duration, in minutes, for which the company charges the same under plan A and plan B be t minutes.
Then under plan A the cost would be $0.6+0.06(t-9) and under plan B the cost would be $0.08t. We want these amount to be equal: 0.6+0.06(t-9)=0.08t --> 60+6(t-9)=8t --> t=3.
Answer: A.
Answer: A
Question: Wayne goes to a fruits vendor to purchase mangoes and oranges. The cost of 4 mangoes is $10, and the cost of 5 oranges is $10. If Wayne buys fruits worth $31, he has purchased at least how many mangoes?
Options:
A)1
B)2
C)6
D)8
E)13
Rationale: Cost of each mango = $10 / 4 = $2.50.
Cost of each orange = $10 / 5 = $2.
Let number of mangoes be m, and number of oranges be o.
Then 2.5m + 2o = 31
=> 5m + 4o = 62
=> 5m = 62 - 4o
To find minimum m, we need to maximize o, and ensure that (62 - 4o) is divisible by 5.
o = 3, m = (62 - (4)3) / 5 = 10.
o = 8, m = (62 - (4)8) / 5 = 6.
o = 13, m = (62 - (4)13) / 5 = 2.
More than this, m will go -ve. So, Wayne has to purchase at least 2 mangoes.

Question: How many even number in the range between 6 to 100 inclusive are not divisible by 3
Options:
A)15
B)30
C)32
D)33
E)46
Rationale: We have to find the number of terms that are divisible by 2 but not by 6( as the question asks for the even numbers only which are not divisible by 3)
For 2,
6,8,10,12,14...100
using AP formula, we can say 100 = 10 + (n-1) *2
or n=48.
For 6,
6,12,18,...96
using AP formula, we can say 96 = 12 + (n-1) *6
or n=16.
Hence, only divisible by 2 but not 3 = 48-16 = 32. hence, Answer C

Question: John have a 630ml mixture of milk and water in the ratio 7:2. How much water must be added to make the ratio 7:3?
Options:
A)30 ml
B)40 ml
C)70 ml
D)90 ml
E)100 ml
Rationale: concentration of water in mixture1 =29 (since the ratio of milk and water = 7:2) ...(1)
concentration of water in pure water= 1 ...(2)
Now the above mentioned items are mixed to form mixture2 where milk and water ratio = 7 : 3
=> concentration of water in mixture2 =310
By rule of alligation,
concentration of water in mixture1 (29)
concentration of water in pure water (1)
Mean concentration
(310)
1−310=710
310−29=790
=> Quantity of mixture1 : Quantity of water
=710:790=110:190=1:19
Given that Quantity of mixture1 = 630 ml
=> 630 : Quantity of water =1:19
=> Quantity of water =630×19=70 ml
