Question: A certain stock exchange designates each stock with a two-letter or three-letter code, where each letter is selected from the 26 letters of the alphabet. If the letters may be repeated and if the same letters used in a different order constitute a different code, how many different stocks is it possible to uniquely designate with these codes without using the letters A, B, or C?
Options:
A)10,494
B)11,585
C)12,696
D)13,787
E)14,898
Rationale: The number of two-letter codes is 23*23=529.

Question: In a game of 60 points; A can give B 5 points and C 15 points. Then how many points B can give C in a game of 22?
Options:
A)can give C 1 points
B)can give C 4 points
C)can give C 2 points
D)can give C 6 points
E)can give C 8 points
Rationale: A: B = 60 : 55, A : C = 60 : 45.
B/C = ( B/ A * A/C) = (55 / 60 * 60 / 45) = 11/9 = 22 /18
Therefore ,In a game of 22, B can give C 4 points.
Answer is B.

Question: A train crosses a platform 100 m long in 60 seconds at a speed of 45 km/hr. The time taken by the train to cross an electric pole is :
Options:
A)8 sec
B)52 sec
C)1 minute
D)Data inadequate
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Speed = (45 *5/18)m/sec =25/2m/sec
Let the length of the train be x metres.
Then,x+100 / 25/2 =60 or x=650m
Time, taken by the train to cross an electric pole = (650 *2/25)sec = 52 sec.

Question: A family pays $850 per year for an insurance plan that pays 80 percent of the first $1,000 in expenses and 100 percent of all medical expenses thereafter. In any given year, the total amount paid by the family will equal the amount paid by the plan when the family's medical expenses total.
Options:
A)$1,000
B)$1,250
C)$1,400
D)$1,800
E)$2,200
Rationale: Upfront payment for insurance plan = 850$
Family needs to pay 20 % of first 1000 $ in expense = 200$
Total amount paid by family when medical expenses are equal to or greater than 1000 $ = 850 + 200 = 1050 $
Total amount paid by insurance plan for first 1000 $ = 850 $
Total amount paid by family will equal amount paid by plan when medical expense = 1250 $
(Since insurance plan will pay 100% of amount that exceeds 1050$ )

Options:
A)8
B)4
C)5
D)12
E)11
Rationale: Since there are 3 colors, if you take 3 cards, you could still have 1 card per color and not have a match.
Therefore, upon taking the 4th card, you will definitely have a match since the 4th card will form at least a pair with the 1st 3
So 3+1 = 4

Question: Mr. Smith calculated the average of 10three digit numbers. But due to a mistake he reversed the digits of a number and thus his average increased by 49.5. The difference between the unit digit and hundreds digit of that number is :
Options:
A)a) 4
B)b) 3
C)c) 2
D)d) 1
E)e) 5
Rationale: Since the average increased by 49.5 and there were a total of 10 numbers, it means the incorrect number was 495 greater than the correct number.
Say, the correct number was abc (where a, b and c are the digits of the 3 digit number)
Then the incorrect number was cba.
100c + 10b + a - (100a + 10b + c) = 495
99c - 99a = 99(c - a) = 495
495 = 99*5 = 99(c - a)
So c - a = 5

Question: If x and a are integers and (15^x + 15^(x+1))/4^a = 15^a what is the value of x?
Options:
A)2
B)3
C)4
D)5
E)Cannot be determined
Rationale: \frac{15^x( 1+ 15)}{4^a} = 15^a
(15^x . 4^2 ) / 4^a = 15^a. 4^0
15^x . 4^(2-a) = 15^a. 4^0
Equating the powers, x = a; 2-a = 0; So x = a = 2=A

Question: Rs. 730 were divided among Punith, Michael, Suresh in such a way that if Punith gets Rs. 3, then Michael gets Rs. 4 and if Michael gets Rs. 3.50 then Suresh gets Rs. 3. The share of Michael exceeds that of Suresh by
Options:
A)Rs 30
B)Rs 40
C)Rs 70
D)Rs 210
E)Rs 310
Rationale: Explanation :
Let A = Punith, B = Michael, C = Suresh.
A:B = 3:4 and B:C = 7/2:3 = (8/7)*(7/2)*(8/7)*3 = 4:(24/7)
A : B : C = 3 :4: 24/7 = 21 : 28 : 24.
Bs share = Rs. [730 *(28/73)]= Rs. 280.
Cs share = Rs. [730 * (24/73)] = Rs. 240.
Difference of their shares = 40

Question: A clock loses a minute every three hours for 4 days and gains 1% in the subsequent 6 days. If it was set right on Friday at 11 AM, what will be the time at the end of 10 days?
Options:
A)11:54:40 AM
B)11:56:24 AM
C)12:16:40 PM
D)11:54:24 AM
E)12:06:36 PM
Rationale: Clock loses: 1 minute in 3 hours = 8 minutes in 24 hours = 32 minutes in 4 days.
Clock gains: 1% in the subsequent 6 days = 1% in 6*24*60 minutes = 86.40 minute in 6 days;
Net gain in 10 days = 86.40 - 32 = 54.4 minutes.
11AM + 54.4 minutes = 11:54 and 4/10th of a minute or 24 seconds.

Rationale: P = 3Q so Q = P/3
P+10 = 2(Q+10) = 2(P/3+10)
P/3 = 10
P = 30
Three years ago, P was 27.
The answer is A.

Question: The true discount on a bill of Rs. 2260 is Rs. 360. What is the banker's discount?
Options:
A)Rs. 428
B)Rs. 422
C)Rs. 412
D)Rs. 442
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
F = Rs. 2260
TD = Rs. 360
PW = F - TD = 2260 - 360 = Rs. 1900
True Discount is the Simple Interest on the present value for unexpired time
=>Simple Interest on Rs. 1900 for unexpired time = Rs. 360
Banker's Discount is the Simple Interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time
= Simple Interest on Rs. 2260 for unexpired time
=360/1900 × 2260 = 0.19 × 2260 = Rs. 428 Answer : Option A

we get 28
Time taken =28/(28/28 + 28/14 + 28/7)
=28/(1+2+4)
=28/7

Question: There are two examinations rooms A and B. If 10 students are sent from A to B, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from B to A, then the number of students in A is double the number of students in B. The number of students in room A is:
Options:
A)100
B)110
C)112
D)115
E)119
Rationale: Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively.
Then, x - 10 = y + 10 x - y = 20 .... (i)
and x + 20 = 2(y - 20) x - 2y = -60 .... (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80.
The required answer A = 100.

Options:
A)1464
B)1462
C)2679
D)2776
E)9782
Rationale: Explanation:
Amar invests Rs. 1,00,000 for 12 months : Mohan invests Rs. 1,40,000 for 12 months : Sham invests Rs.1,60,000 for 12 months : Ramesh invests Rs. 50,000 for 4 months
Amar : Mohan : Sham : Ramesh = 30 : 42 : 48 : 5
Sham's share = (48/125) * 30,500 = 11712
Mohan's share = (42/125) * 30,500 = 10248
Difference between shares of Sham's and Mohan's = 1464

Question: Mr. John used to purchase certain number of mangoes for $360 Since the price of mangoes is reduced by 10% he got 12 more mangoes today. Find the original price of 110 mangoes.
Options:
A)367
B)380
C)400
D)406
E)412
Rationale: Mr. John used to purchase certain number of mangoes for $360 Since the price of mangoes is reduced by 10% he got 12 more mangoes today. Find the original price of 120 mangoes.
Method 1:
Let price per mango = x. Let number of mangoes be n. Then, nx = 360.
Now price = 0.9x; number of mangoes = n + 12. Total amount = 0.9x*(n+12) = 360.
nx = 0.9nx + 10.8x => 0.1nx = 10.8x => n = 108 => x = 360/108 = 3.33
Original price of 110 mangoes = 110*3.33 = 367.

Question: Six years ago I was three times as old as my brother, and now I am twice as old my brother. Find my brother's age.
Options:
A)8 years
B)24 years
C)12 years
D)16 years
E)26 years
Rationale: Let brother's age = x
And my age = 2x
6 years ago:
Brother age = x-6
My age = 2x-6
I was 3 time his age then,
2x-6 = 3(x-6)
2x-6 = 3x-18
3x-2x = 18-6
x = 12
Brother's age = 12years
My age now = 2x
= 2(12)
= 24years

Question: The simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs.49500 at he end of three is Rs.17820. What would be the compound interest accured on the same amount at teh same rate in the same period? (Round off your answer to two decimal places)?
Options:
A)Rs.20043.94
B)Rs.20043.97
C)Rs.20043.99
D)Rs.20043.90
E)Rs.20043.91
Rationale: Let the rate of interest be R% p.a.
(49500)(3)(R)/100 = 17820
495R = 5940
R = 12
CI on Rs.49500 at 12% p.a. for three years
= 49500{[1 + 12/100]3 - 1} = 69543.936 - 49500 = Rs.20043.94
when rounded off to two decimal places.

Question: To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of the bucket is reduced to two-fifth of its present ?
Options:
A)62.5
B)65
C)61
D)64
E)60
Rationale: Let the capacity of 1 bucket = x.
Then, the capacity of tank = 25x.
New capacity of bucket = 2/5 x
Therefore, Required number of buckets = (25x)/(2x/5)
= (25x) x 5/2x
= 125/2
= 62.5
Answer is A.
