Question: The cost of an article was Rs.75. The cost was first increased by 20% and later on it was reduced by 20%. The present cost of the article is:
Options:
A)Rs. 72
B)Rs. 60
C)Rs. 75
D)Rs. 76
E)None
Rationale: Solution: Initial Cost = Rs. 75
After 20% increase in the cost, it becomes,
(75+ 20% of 75) = Rs. 90
Now, Cost is decreased by 20%, So cost will become,
(90 - 20% of 90) = Rs. 72.
So, present cost is Rs. 72.
Mind Calculation Method: 75-----20%↑--→90-----20%↓-----→72.

Options:
A)8000
B)8200
C)8400
D)8600
E)8800
Rationale: Explanation:
40% loss means SP = 60% of CP
:. CP = Rs.3600x100/60 = Rs.6000.
The SP for a gain of 40% = 6000+40% of 6000 = 6000+2400 =Rs8400.

Question: A box contains 3 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If two marbles are picked at random, what is the probability that they are either blue or yellow?
Options:
A)4/8
B)9/2
C)7/6
D)9
E)2/21
Rationale: Explanation:
Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles. Probability that both marbles are blue = Â³Câ‚‚/Â¹âµCâ‚‚ = (3 * 2)/(15 * 14) = 1/35
Probability that both are yellow = Â²Câ‚‚/Â¹âµCâ‚‚ = (2 * 1)/(15 * 14) = 1/105
Probability that one blue and other is yellow = (Â³Câ‚ * Â²Câ‚)/Â¹âµCâ‚‚ = (2 * 3 * 2)/(15 * 14) = 2/35
Required probability = 1/35 + 1/105 + 2/35
= 3/35 + 1/105 = 1/35(3 + 1/3)
= 10/(3 * 35) = 2/21

Question: Exactly one of the following numbers cannot be written as a3 + b3 where a and b are integers.
Which number is it?
Options:
A)700056
B)707713
C)7000639
D)7077283
E)7077915
Rationale: If a is an integer, then a3 gives remainder 0, 1, or 6 when divided by 7 (just consider the
remainders of 03, 13, 23, 33, 43, 53, and 63 when divided by 7). Then a3 + b3 gives remainder
0, 1, 2, 5, or 6 when divided by 7. Well, 7077283 gives remainder 3 when divided by 7. (The
remaining numbers can be represented as a sum of two cubes of integers, 700056 = 403 + 863,
707713 = 143 + 893, 7000639 = 323 + 1913, and 7077915 = 33 + 1923.)

Question: If x = 3^27 and x^x = 3^k, what is k?
Options:
A)3^9
B)3^12
C)3^27
D)3^30
E)3^33
Rationale: Solution:
We know that x=3^27
which implies x^x = (3^27)^(3^27) = 3^(27 * 3^27) [because (x^y)^z = x^(y*z))]
so 3^(3^3 * 3^27) = 3^(3^(3+27)) [because x^a * x^b = x^(a+b)]
therefore x^x = 3^(3^30)
Given that x^x=3^k
so 3^(3^30) = 3^k
Since the base is same the exponent will also be same
therefore k = 3^30

Question: A & B start a business jointly. A invests Rs 16000 for 8 month & B remains in a business for 4 months. Out of total profit, B claims 2/7 of the profit . How much money was contributed by B ?
Options:
A)11200
B)12000
C)12400
D)12800
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
B's share = 2/7 of the profit
=> A : B = 5 : 2
(We can easily find out A:B as given above by doing quick mental calculations
and it will be excellent if you can do as much as mental calculations possible.
Just for explanation, see below steps to systematically find out A : B
Let the total profit = x
B's share = 2x/7
A's share = x – 2x/7 = 5x/7
A:B = 5x/7 : 2x/7 = 5:2)
Let the money contributed by B = b
Then A:B = 16000*8 : b*4 = 5:2
=> (16000*8)/4b = 5/2
=> b = (16000*8*2)/ (4*5) = 800*8*2 = 12800. Answer : Option D

Question: Mr. Thomas invested an amount of 13,900 divided in two different schemes A and B at the simple interest rate of 14% p.a. and 11% p.a. respectively. If the total amount of simple interest earned in 2 years be 3508, what was the amount invested in Scheme B?
Options:
A)6400
B)6500
C)7200
D)7500
E)None of these
Rationale: Let the sum invested in Scheme A be x and that in Scheme B be (13900 – x).
Then, (x×14×2/100)+[(13900−x)×11×2/100]=3508
⇒ 28x – 22x = 350800 – (13900 × 22) ⇒ 6x = 45000
⇒ x = 7500.
So, sum invested in Scheme B = (13900 – 7500) = 6400.

B)5.5
C)4
D)3
E)2
Rationale: Can be solved without much calculations.
You are given that (-2,-3) is the center of the circle. Point (4,-3) lies inside the circle ---> the radius is lesser than distance of (-2,-3) from (4,-3) ---> lesser than 6 units but the radius will also be greater than the distance of (-2,-3) from (-2,2) ----> greater than 5 units.
Thus the radius is >5 but <6 and as it is an integer, the only possible value of radius = 5. 5units.

Options:
A)0
B)1
C)3
D)4
E)6
Rationale: Lets take the number as y
when y is divided by 9 the remainder is 5 hence y can be written as
y=9k +5
Multiplying by 3 will give
3y = 27k + 15
we can also write
3y = 27k + 9 + 6
Now 27k and 9 are divisible by 9 leaving the remainder as 6 hence E is the answer.

Question: a, b, c are three distinct integers from 2 to 10 (both inclusive). Exactly one of ab, bc and ca is odd. abc is a multiple of 4. The arithmetic mean of a and b is an integer and so is the arithmetic mean of a, b and c. How many such triplets are possible (unordered triplets)?
Options:
A)8
B)6
C)2
D)4
E)0
Rationale: DETAILED SOLUTION
Exactly one of ab, bc and ca is odd => Two are odd and one is even
abc is a multiple of 4 => the even number is a multiple of 4
The arithmetic mean of a and b is an integer => a and b are odd
and so is the arithmetic mean of a, b and c. => a+ b + c is a multiple of 3
c can be 4 or 8.
c = 4; a, b can be 3, 5 or 5, 9
c = 8; a, b can be 3, 7 or 7, 9
Four triplets are possible.

Question: In one year, the population, of a village increased by 5% and in the next year, it decreased by 5%. If at the end of 2nd year, the population was 9975, what was it in the beginning?
Options:
A)7787
B)10000
C)1988
D)1277
E)2081
Rationale: x*105/100 * 95/100 = 9975
X*0.9975=9975
X=9975/0.9975
=> 10000

Answer: B
Question: If a and b are positive integers of C such that a/b=2.86, which of the following must be a divisor of a?
Options:
A)10
B)B.13
C)18
D)26
E)50
Rationale: The prompt gives us a couple of facts to work with:
1) A and B are positive INTEGERS
2) A/B = 2.86
We can use these facts to figure out POSSIBLE values of A and B. The prompt asks us for what MUST be a divisor of A. Since we're dealing with a fraction, A and B could be an infinite number of different integers, so we have to make both as SMALL as possible; in doing so, we'll be able to find the divisors that ALWAYS divide in (and eliminate the divisors that only SOMETIMES divide in).
The simplest place to start is with...
A = 286
B = 100
286/100 = 2.86
These values are NOT the smallest possible values though (since they're both even, we can divide both by 2)...
A = 143
B = 50
143/50 = 2.86
There is no other way to reduce this fraction, so A must be a multiple of 143 and B must be an equivalent multiple of 50. At this point though, the value of B is irrelevant to the question. We're asked for what MUST divide into A....
Since A is a multiple of 143, we have to 'factor-down' 143. This gives us (11)(13). So BOTH of those integers MUST be factors of A. You'll find the match in the answer choices.
Final Answer:
B
Answer: B

Options:
A)76,24 kmph
B)40,24 kmph
C)96,24 kmph
D)26,24 kmph
E)12,36 kmph
Rationale: Speed downstream = 60 + 36
= 96 kmph
Speed upstream = 60 - 36
= 24 kmph

Question: Anand and Deepak started a business investing Rs. 22,500 and Rs. 35,000 respectively. Out of a total profit of Rs. 14,950, Deepak's share is:?
Options:
A)s.8467
B)s.9100
C)s.8400
D)s.8429
E)s.8420
Rationale: Ratio of their shares
= 22500 : 35000
= 9:14
Deepak's share
= 14950 * 14/23
= Rs.9100.

Question: If the set S is composed of the following numbers {99, 100, 100, 105, 106, 114, 125}, which of the following is largest?
Options:
A)The average (arithmetic mean) of set S
B)The median of set S
C)The mode of set S
D)The range of set S
E)The standard deviation of set S
Rationale: A) 99, 100, 100, 105, 106, 114, 125 = 749 and its mean is 749/7 = 107.
B) The list is of 7 numbers and median is 105.
C) Mode is number of repetition of a number in the list , here it is 100.
D) Range = Max value - min value = 125 -99 = 26.
E) SD = square root of (sum of ( mean of series - number)^2 ) / n =>< 100

Question: In X game of billiards, X can give Y 20 points in 60 and he can give Z 30 points in 60. How many points can Y give Z in X game of 120?
Options:
A)30
B)20
C)25
D)40
E)50
Rationale: X scores 60 while Y score 40 and Z scores 30.
The number of points that Z scores when Y scores 120 = (120 * 30)/40 = 90.
In X game of 100 points, Y gives (120 - 90) =30 points to C.
A
Answer: A
