In how much time after the train has crossed the Mike do the John meets to Mike?rtaking the John (he is riding on the horse) before it starts overtaking the Mike
Options:
A)2534
B)3545
C)3521
D)4564
E)3576
Rationale: Let the length of the train be L metres and speeds of the train Arun and Sriram be R, A and S respectively, then
---------- (i)
and ---------(ii)
From eq.(i) and (ii)
3(R - A ) = 2 (R + K)
R = 3A + 2K
In 30 minutes (i.e 1800 seconds), the train covers 1800R (distance) but the Arun also covers 1800 A (distance) in the same time. Therefore distance between Arun and Sriram, when the train has just crossed Sriram
= 1800 ( R - A) - 24 ( A + K)
Time required =
= (3600 - 24) = 3576 s

Options:
A)(5,0)
B)(0,5)
C)(0, (136^(1/2))/2)
D)(-5,-3/2)
E)(1,5)
Rationale: The midpoint of a segment is exactly halfway between its endpoints and it's location can be found using the Midpoint Theorem, which states:
• The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the two endpoints.
• Likewise, the y-coordinate is the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.
So, x=(-15+5)/2=-5 and y=(2-5)/2=-3/2 --> coordinates of the midpoint are (-5, -3/2).

Question: Siddharth wants to borrow Rs.9000 at rate of interest 6% p.a. at S.I and lend the same amount at C.I at same rate of interest for two years. What would be his income in the above transaction?
Options:
A)s.21.60
B)s.21.29
C)s.32.40
D)s.21.26
E)s.21.12
Rationale: Amount of money Siddharth borrowed at S.I at 6% p.a. for two years = Rs.9,000
He lend the same amount for C.I at 6% p.a. for two years.
=> Siddharth's income = C.I - S.I
= p[1 + r/ 100]n - p - pnr/100
= p{ [1 + r/ 100]2 - 1 - nr/100
= 9,000{ [1 + 6/100]2 - 1 - 12/100}
= 9,000 {(1.06)2- 1 - 0.12} = 9,000(1.1236 - 1 - 0.12)
= 9,000 (0.0036) = 9 * 3.6 = Rs.32.40

Question: The Italian size of a suit jacket is N centimeters, where N is the linear distance between the armpits when the jacket is laid on a flat surface. The American size of a suit jacket is P inches, where P is twice the linear distance between the armpits when the jacket is laid on a flat surface. If, for a particular jacket, N = P + 15, which of the following is closest to the value of N? (One inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters.)
Options:
A)36
B)47
C)58
D)68
E)72
Rationale: Since one inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters, then N centimeters is N/2.54 inches.
Next, since the American size (P inches) is twice the Italian size (N/2.54 inches), then P=2*N/2.54.
As given that N = P + 15, then N=2*N/2.54+15 --> N=~68.

Question: Consider four digit numbers for which the first two digits are equal and the last two digits are also equal. How many such numbers are perfect squares ?
Options:
A)3
B)2
C)4
D)0
E)1
Rationale: Explanation :
If we let the four-digit number be XXYY, then this number can be expressed as:
1000X + 100X + 10Y + Y = 1100X + 11Y = 11(100X + Y) = k^2 (since it's a perfect square)
In order for this to be true, 100X + Y must be the product of 11 and a perfect square, and looks like X0Y. So now our question is "which product of 11 and a perfect square looks like X0Y?" We can test them:
11 x 16 = 176; 11 x 25 = 275; 11 x 36 = 396; 11 x 49 = 593; 11 x 64 = 704; 11 x 81 = 891
The only one that fits the bill is 704.
This means there is only one four-digit number that works, and it's 7744.

Options:
A)an odd integer
B)an even integer
C)a prime number
D)a composite number
E)a negative integer
Rationale: Solution:
(x + 1) times (4x + 1) means (x + 1)(4x + 1)
(x + 1)(4x + 1) = 4x^2+5x+1
For 4x^2+5x+1 to be odd, 5x+1 must be odd since 4x^2 is always even.
So 5x must be even, hence x must be even.
Therefore x is an even integer.

the card drawn is an ace. Clearly, we have to find P (QQA)
Now P(Q) = 4/52
Also, P (Q|Q) is the probability of second queen with the condition that one queen has
already been drawn. Now there are three queen in (52 - 1) = 51 cards.
Therefore P(Q|Q) = 3/51
P(A|QQ) is the probability of third drawn card to be an ace, with the condition
that two queens have already been drawn. Now there are four aces in left 50 cards.
Therefore P(A|QQ) = 4/50
By multiplication law of probability, we have
P(QQA) = P(Q) P(Q|Q) P(A|QQ)
= 4/52 × 3/51 × 4/50
= 2/5525.

Question: A rectangular field has to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 680 sq. feet, how many feet of fencing will be required?
Options:
A)80 feet
B)85 feet
C)83 feet
D)88 feet
E)90 feet
Rationale: Given that area of the field = 680 sq. feet
=> lb = 680 sq. feet
Length(l) = 20 feet
=> 20 × b = 680
=> b = 680/20 = 34 feet
Required length of the fencing = l + 2b = 20 + (2 × 34) = 88 feet

Question: The price of 10 bat is equal to that of 4 balls. The price of 15 balls and 2 bats together is Rs. 4000. The total price of 12 chairs and 3 balls is:
Options:
A)Rs. 3200
B)Rs. 3500
C)Rs. 3700
D)Rs. 3900
E)Rs. 4000
Rationale: Let the cost of a chair and that of a table be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
Then, 10x = 4y or y = 5 x.
2
15x + 2y = 4000
15x + 2 x 5 x = 4000
2
20x = 4000
x = 200.
So, y = 5 x 200 = 500.
2
Hence, the cost of 12 chairs and 3 tables = 12x + 3y
= Rs. (2400 + 1500)
= Rs. 3900.

Question: You can collect as many rubies and emeralds as you can. Each ruby is worth Rs. 4 crore and each emerald is worth Rs. 5 crore. Each ruby weighs 0.3 kg. And each emerald weighs 0.4 kg. Your bag can carry at the most 12 kg. What should you collect to get the maximum wealth?
Options:
A)20 rubies and 15 emeralds
B)40 rubies
C)28 rubies and 9 emeralds
D)None of these
E)Cannot be determined
Rationale: Explanation :
The limits our wealth is the capacity of bag which is 12 Kg. So we should make each unit of weight to worth the max.
Rubee: 0.3 Kg worth 4 Crore,
so 1 Kg of Rubee is worth 4/(0.3) = 40/3 = 13.33 Crore.
Emerald: 0.4 Kg worth 5 crore
so 1 Kg of Emerald is worth 5/(0.4) = 50/4 = 12.5 Crore.
As value per kilogram is more for Rubee we should pick max rubees for max wealth.
Here we can accomadate the whole 12Kg with 40 rubees which is worth 160 Crore.

E)250 m
Rationale: Let the length of the train e x meter, and let the speed of train be y km/h, then
\inline x=\left ( y+3 \right )\frac{5}{18}\times 36 ........(1)
and \inline x=\left ( y+6\right )\frac{5}{18}\times 30 ........(2)
From eq (1) and (2), we get
\inline (y+3)\times 36 = ( y+6)\times 30
y = 12 km/h
\inline \therefore \inline x=(y+3)\times \frac{5}{18}\times 36
x= 150 m
