Question: What is the probability that when a hand o f 6 cards is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards, It contains 2 Queen?
Options:
A)1/23445
B)113/22434
C)29187by1017926
D)1017926/29187
E)None of these
Rationale: nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
Total number of possible hands = 52C6
52C6 = (52!)/((52-6)! × 6!)
52C6 = 61075560.
Number of hands with 2 Queen and 4 non-Queen cards = 4C2 × 48C4
4C2 = (4!)/(2! × 2!) = 6.
48C4 = (48!)/(44! × 4!) = 3 × 47 × 46 × 45 = 291870
(other 2 cards must be chosen from the rest 48 cards)
P (2 Queen) = (4C2 × 48C4)/52C6 = 29187/1017926

Question: What is the probability P of randomly selecting an arrangement of the letters of the wordMEDITERRANEANin which the first letter is E and the last letter is R?
Options:
A)1/13
B)1/20
C)1/26
D)1/50
E)1/100
Rationale: Why do you calculate the total combinations and everything, it is much easier to calculate as follows:
3/13 * 1 * 1 * 1 * 1 ..... * 2/12 = 6/156 = 1/26
This is because 3/13 = Probability that first letter will be E and 2/12 = probability that thefirstletter will be R. Between everything else cuts down to 1*1*1... e.g. probability of the second letter is P=11/11 = 1, > we do not care what's in between.C

Question: If $x is invested at a constant annually compound interest rate of k percent, what is the ratio of the total amount including interest after 4n years to that after 2n years?
Options:
A)(1+k)^n
B)(1+k/100)^2n
C)(1+kn/100)
D)(1+n/100)^k
E)(1+kn)
Rationale: Amount after 4n years will be = x ( 1 + k/100)^4n
Amount after 3n years will be = x ( 1 + k/100)^2n
So, required ratio will be -
{ x ( 1 + k/100)^4n } / {x ( 1 + k/100)^2n } = (1+k/100)^2n
Hence answer will be a. (1+k/100)^2n

Question: The largest number in a series of consecutive even integers is w. If the number of integers is n, what is the smallest number in terms of w and n?
Options:
A)w– 2n
B)w–n + 1
C)w– 2(n– 1)
D)n– 6 + w
E)w – n/2
Rationale: Another method would be to use the concept of Arithmetic Progressions. Consecutive even integers form an AP where the common difference is 2.
In an AP, Last term = First term + (n-1)*common difference
w = First term + (n-1)*2
First term = w - 2(n-1)

Question: 8 books are to be arranged in a shelf. Among these, 3 are copies of the same Math book, 3 are copies of the same Physics book and the remaining are copies of the same Chemistry book. How many different arrangements can be created?
Options:
A)8!/{3!^3}
B)8!/{3!3!2!2!}
C)8!/{3!^2}
D)8!/{(2!)(3!^2)}
E)8!/{2!^3}
Rationale: The total number of ways in which a total N items, out of which p are identical of one type, q are identical of another type and rest are different, can be arranged in a line is N!/{p!q!}
In the given problem, we have 8 books out of which 3 are identical Math books, 3 are identical Physics books and the remaining 2 are the same Chemistry books.
Hence the number of words that can be formed is 8!/{3!3!2!}

Question: In a certain experiment, the data collected is the number of organisms per sample, and this data follows a normal distribution. If the sample of data has a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 14, which of the following is exactly 2.60 standard deviations more than the mean?
Options:
A)a) 43.6
B)b) 60
C)c) 72
D)d) 77.5
E)e) 81
Rationale: Standard Deviation is a relatively rare category in the Quant section, although you're like to be tested on it 1 time on Test Day. You'll never be asked to calculate SD though, so you really just need to learn the basic 'concepts' behind it.
Here, we're told two things about a group of numbers:
1) The average of the group is 80
2) The standard deviation of the group is 14
If you go 1 SDupfrom the average, you hit.....80+14 = 94
If you go 1 SDdownfrom the average, you hit.....80-14 = 66
If you go 2 SDsupfrom the average, you hit.....80+2(14) = 108
If you go 2 SDsdownfrom the average, you hit.....80-2(14) = 52
Etc.
Here, we're asked for the number that is EXACTLY 2.60 SDs above the mean....
2.60 SDsupwould be.....80 + 2.60(14) = 43.6

Question: If X and Y are sets of integers, X # Y denotes the set of integers that belong to set X or set Y, but not both. If X consists of 12 integers, Y consists of 18 integers, and 6 of the integers are in both X and Y, then X # Y consists of how many integers?
Options:
A)6
B)16
C)18
D)30
E)174
Rationale: The number of integers that belong to set X ONLY is 12-6=6;
The number of integers that belong to set Y ONLY is 18-6=12;
The number of integers that belong to set X or set Y, but not both is 6+12=18.

Question: If x is the median of the set {x, 11/3, 28/9, 21/5, 9/2}, x could be
Options:
A)16/5
B)17/5
C)30/7
D)4
E)31/7
Rationale: The median is the middle number once all the numbers are arranged in increasing/decreasing order.
We see that
11/3 = 3.something,
28/9 = 3.something
21/5 = 4.something
9/2 = 4.something
So x should greater than the smallest two numbers and smaller than the greatest two numbers. We can see that x = 4 is possible. (First look at the simplest option or the middle option since options are usually arranged in increasing/decreasing order)
Answer (D)
Answer: D
Question: If e>0.9, which of the following options can be the value of e?
Options:
A)0.9^2
B)√(0.9)
C)0.09
D)0.9
E)0.9^3
Rationale: Lets take a few examples
When .2 is squared it gives .04
when .5 is squared it gives .25
When .9 is squared it gives .81
So raising a fraction to its power of 2 or 3 only reduces the value of the fraction
This is because
.2 = 2/10
.2^2= 4/100
.2^3=8/1000
Since the denominator gets an extra 0 each time u increase the power , it is going to drag the value down
But if you just think about the opposite case :
Then we can see , if squaring a fraction diminish its value, then taking the square root of it will again increase its value
that is √(0.04) will give you back 0.2
so √(0.04) > 0.04
so obviously diminishing the power will appreciate the value
So e √(0.9) > 0.9
Hence Correct Answer is (B)
Answer: B
Question: If 25/999=0.002, what is the 81st digit to the right of the decimal point in the decimal equivalent of the fraction?
Options:
A)6
B)5
C)4
D)3
E)2
Rationale: 0.[u]25[/u = 0.002002002002.....
Every 3rd digit is 5 and every multiple of 3 will be the digit 2. Since 81 is multiple of 3, the 81st digit is 2.

Question: A shopkeeper sells 20% of his stock at 25% profit ans sells the remaining at a loss of 5%. He incurred an overall profit of Rs. 400. Find the total worth of the stock?
Options:
A)25500
B)25000
C)40500
D)20000
E)40000
Rationale: Let the total worth of the stock be Rs. x.
The SP of 20% of the stock = 1/5 * x * 5/4 = 5x/20
The SP of 80% of the stock = 4/5 * x * 0.95 = 152x/200
Total SP = 50x/200 + 152x/200 = 202x/200
Overall profit = 152x/200 - x = 2x/200
x/50 = 400 => x = 40000

Question: A dishonest milkman wants to make a profit on the selling of milk. He would like to mix water (costing nothing) with milk costing Rs.46 per litre so as to make a profit of 20% on cost when he sells the resulting milk and water mixture for Rs.54 In what ratio should he mix the water and milk?
Options:
A)1:20
B)1:10
C)1:8
D)1:45
E)6:11
Rationale: water = w (liter)
Milk = m (liter)
==> Cost = Price x Quantity = 0.46m
==> Revenue = Price x Quantity = 0.54(m + w)
==> Profit =0.54(m+w) - 0.46m = 0.2*(0.46m)[20% of cost]
==> 0.54m + 0.54w - 0.46m = 0.092m
==> 0.012m = 0.54w
==> m/w = 0.54/0.012 = 45
--OR--
w/m = 1/45
D is correct.

Question: Which of the following number is divisible by 24 ?
Options:
A)35718
B)63810
C)3125736
D)537804
E)None
Rationale: 24 = 3 x8, where 3 and 8 co-prime.
Clearly, 35718 is not divisible by 8, as 718 is not divisible by 8.
Similarly, 63810 is not divisible by 8 and 537804 is not divisible by 8.
Consider option (C),
Sum of digits = (3 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 6) = 27, which is divisible by 3.
Also, 736 is divisible by 8.
3125736 is divisible by (3 x 8), i.e., 24.
