Question: When positive integer N is divided by positive integer J, the remainder is 42. If N/J = 204.07, what is value of J?
Options:
A)200
B)400
C)800
D)600
E)1200
Rationale: When a number is divided by another number, we can represent it as : Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Remainder
So, Dividend/Divisor = Quotient + Remainder/Divisor
Given that N/J = 204.07
Here 204 is the quotient.
Given that Remainder = 42
So, 204.07= 204 + 42/J
So, J = 600

Question: What two-digit number is less than the sum of the square of its digits by 12 and exceeds their doubled product by 5?
Options:
A) 95
B) 99
C) 26
D) 73
E) None of the Above
Rationale: Let the digits be x and y. The number would be 10x + y.
We are given that 2xy + 5 = 10x +y = x^2 y^2 -12
Thus 2xy +5 = x^2 + y^2 - 12
x^2 + y^2 -2xy = 16
(x-y)^2 = 16
(x-y) = 4 or -4
Substituting the values of (x-y) in the equation 2xy +5 = 10x + y
x comes out to be 1 or 9... thus the two numbers can be 15 or 99
Thus the answer is B

Question: Daniel went to a shop and bought things worth Rs. 25, out of which 30 Paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 10%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Options:
A)A)19.7
B)B)20
C)C)21.3
D)D)21.7
E)E)22
Rationale: Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25
Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax
=> Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = Rs.30/100
Let the cost of the tax free items = x
Given that tax rate = 10%
∴ (25−30/100−x)10/100 = 30/100
⇒ 10(25 −0.3 −x) = 30
⇒ (25 − 0.3 − x) = 3
⇒ x = 25 − 0.3 − 3
= 21.7

Question: Event E is defined to be rolling an even number on a 6-sided die and Event F is defined to be rolling a 1, 2 or 3. Calculate the probability of rolling a die such that events E and F occur simultaneously on a single roll of the die.
Options:
A)1/2
B)1/6
C)0
D)5/6
E)1
Rationale: Determine if E and F are independent.
P(E|F) = the probability of event E occurring given that event F has already occurred
P(E|F) ≠ P(E) as P(E) is changed if it is given that F occurs.
Consequently, P(E∩F) ≠ P(E)P(F) since the events are not independent. As a result, P(E∩F) ≠ 1/4 = P(E)P(F)
We must use the more complex formula for finding the intersection of E and F:
P(E∩F) = P(F)P(E|F)
P(F) = the probability of event F occurring
The probability of rolling a 1, 2, or 3 is 3/6 = 1/2
P(E|F) = the probability of event E occurring given that event F has already occurred
If event F already occurred, we are limited to the numbers 1, 2, or 3. Within this range of 3 possible numbers, only one number--namely, 2--is an even number. Therefore, P(E|F) = 1/3
P(E∩F) = P(F)P(E|F) = (1/2) * (1/3) = 1/6

Rationale: Explanation :
Using log a – log b = log(a/b) ,
=> 2/(y-5) = (y-5) / (y-3.5), where y = 2x.
Solving we get, y= 4 or 8 i.e x = 2 or 3.
It can't be 2 as log of negative number is not deifned.

Question: Lexy walks 5 miles from point A to point K in one hour, then bicycles back to point A along the same route at 15 miles per hour. Ben makes the same round trip, but does so at half of Lexy’s average speed. How many minutes does Ben spend on his round trip?
Options:
A)40
B)80
C)120
D)160
E)180
Rationale: Lexy walks 5 miles from point A to point K in one hour, then bicycles back to point A along the same route at 15 miles per hour. Ben makes the same round trip, but does so at half of Lexy’s average speed. How many minutes does Ben spend on his round trip?
Average speed = total distance/total time
We know the total distance is 5+5 (going from A to K then from K to A)
Time = distance/speed
Time = 5/15
Time = 1/3 hour
Average speed = (10)/(1hr + 1/3hr)
Average speed (lexi) = 10 / 1.33
Therefore, if Ben's average speed is 1/2 of lexi's then his speed = 10/2.66.
This means it took him 2.66 hours to cover the same 10 miles Lexi did. 2.66 hours = roughly 160 minutes.
