Answer: C
Question: If x and y are different integers, both divisible by 11, then which is not necessarily true?
Options:
A)x^2 + y^2 is divisible by 11
B)x - y is divisible by 11
C)xy is divisible by 11
D)x + y is divisible by 11
E)x + y is divisible by 22
Rationale: Let x = 11k and let y = 11j.
Then x+y = 11(k+j) and k+j could be even or odd.
Thus 11(k+j) is not necessarily divisible by 22.
The answer is E.

Options:
A)5
B)10
C)15
D)20
E)30
Rationale: Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place. So, there is 1 way of doing it.
Tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 numbers.
So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.
The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.
Therefore Required number of numbers = 1 x 5 x 4 = 20.

Options:
A)45°
B)30°
C)11.25°
D)18°
E)15°
Rationale: The complement of angle A is the angle which, when added to angle A, gives 90 degrees. The two acute angles of a right triangle are complements, for example.
The original angle is x, so the complement is 7x, and together, these add up to 90 degrees.
x + 7x = 90
8x = 90
x = 11.25°

Question: A bag contains 2 yellow, 3 green and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that none of the balls drawn is blue?
Options:
A)1/2
B)10/21
C)9/11
D)7/11
E)6/11
Rationale: Total number of balls = 2 + 3 + 2 = 7
Let S be the sample space.
n(S) = Total number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7 = 7C2
Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls , none of them is blue.
n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls , none of them is blue
= Number of ways of drawing 2 balls from the total 5 (=7-2) balls = 5C2
(âˆµ There are two blue balls in the total 7 balls. Total number of non-blue balls = 7 - 2 = 5)
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)=5C2/7C2=(5Ã—4/2Ã—1)/(7Ã—6/2Ã—1)=5Ã—4/7Ã—6=10/21

Question: The speed of a railway engine is 84 Km per hour when no compartment is attached, and the reduction in speed is directly proportional to the square root of the number of compartments attached. If the speed of the train carried by this engine is 24 Km per hour when 9 compartments are attached, the maximum number of compartments that can be carried by the engine is:
Options:
A)19
B)18
C)16
D)17
E)14
Rationale: the reduction in speed is directly proportional to the square root of the number of compartments attached
Doesreductionmean amount subtracted? or percentage decrease? There are at least two interpretations, and the wording does not provide a clear interpretation between them.
Evidently what the question intends is the subtraction interpretation. What is subtracted from the speed is directly proportional to the square root of the number of compartments attached.
In other words, if S = speed, and N = number of compartments, then
S = 84 - k*sqrt(N)
wherekis a constant of the proportionality. In general, if A is directly proportional to B, we can write A = k*B and solve for k.
If N = 9, then S = 24
24 = 84 - k*sqrt(9) =84 - 3k
k = 20
Now, we need to know: what value of N makes S go to zero?
0 = 84 - 20*sqrt(N)
20*sqrt(N) = 84
sqrt(N) = 4.2
n = 4.2^2 >17
With 18 compartments, the train does not budge. Therefore, it would budge if there were one fewer cars. Thus, 17 is the maximum number of cars the engine can pull and still move.

Question: Two out of ten employees are capable of doing a certain task. Sixty percent of the five employees, including the two who are capable, are assigned to a project involving this task. what percentage of employees assigned to the project are not capable?
Options:
A)43.33%
B)66.66%
C)13.33%
D)38.33%
E)23.33%
Rationale: Given 60% of 10 employees including 2 who are capable of doing task.
60% of 10 employeees
= 60/100 * 10
= 6 employees
===> 2 employees who are capable of doing the task and four employee who is not capable.
percentage of employees assigned who are not capable
= 4/6 * 100
= 66.66%

Question: The sum of all the digits of the integers from 18 to 21 inclusive is 24 (1 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 24). What is the sum Q of all the digits of the integers from 0 to 99 inclusive?
Options:
A)450
B)810
C)900
D)1000
E)1100
Rationale: We want the sum of the digits from 0 to 99, so I approximated:
0-9 ->45-> (9+0)*10/2
40-49 ->85(13+4)*10/2
90-99 ->135(18+9)*10/2
We can see at a glance that theweightgoes up as the numbers go up (meaning the difference between 85 and 45 is 40, while 135-85 is 50, this means that the second part of this sequence carries more weight for our result), so we know that the final answer has to be more than 850 (85*10) but close to it, and that's just Q=900:the answer is C.

Question: A tank is filled by three pipes with uniform flow. The first two pipes operating simultaneously fill the tank in the same time during which the tank is filled by the third pipe alone. The second pipe fills the tank 5 hours faster than the first pipe and 4 hours slower than the third pipe. Find the time required by the first pipe to fill the tank ?
Options:
A)10 hours
B)15 hours
C)17 hours
D)18 hours
E)20 hours
Rationale: Explanation:
Suppose, first pipe alone takes x hours to fill the tank .
Then, second and third pipes will take (x -5) and (x - 9) hours respectively to fill the tank.
As per question, we get
1/x+1/x−5=1/x−9
=>x−5+x/x(x−5)=1/x−9
=>(2x−5)(x−9)=x(x−5)
=>x2−18x+45=0
After solving this euation, we get
(x-15)(x+3) = 0,
As value can not be negative, so x = 15

Question: A circular rim 28 inches in diameter rotates the same number of inches per second as a circular rim 49 inches in diameter. If the smaller rim makes x revolutions per second, how many revolutions per minute does the larger rim makes in terms of x ?
Options:
A)48pi/x
B)75x
C)34.2x
D)24x
E)x/75
Rationale: C = (pi)d
C(small): (pi)*28
C(large): (pi)*49
Lets say the time horizon is 60 seconds, so during that time the smaller rim covers a distance of (pi)*28*60 = (pi)*(1680) inches
(pi)*(1680) = (pi)*(49)(x)
pi*(34.2) = pi*(x)
34.2=x
Answer: C. 34.2x

Options:
A)a)	$ 58,500
B)b)	$ 54,000
C)c)	$ 21,000
D)d)	$ 5,400
E)e)	$3,600
Rationale: Initially each invest in x. Hence total investment is 3x.
Total investment is also 5(x-7800).
3x = 5(x-7800)
x= 5*7800/2 = 19500
3x = 58500 and the answer is A.

Question: If a and b are nonzero integers such that 2a+1 = 5b+1, then each of the following must be true EXCEPT
Options:
A)0 < b/a < 1
B)ab is positive.
C)On the number line, b lies between 0 and a.
D)The ratio of a to b is equivalent to 10/4.
E)a – b is positive.
Rationale: This question can be solved by TESTing VALUES. Based on its wording, you would likely need to do 2 TESTs to get to the correct answer though.
We're told that A and B are NONZERO INTEGERS and that 2a+1 = 5b+1 or 2A = 5b. We're told that each of the answer is always true EXCEPT for one of them...
Before we get to the actual work, it's important to note a few details:
1) We are NOT told that A and B are positive - we're just told that they're NONZERO - that's interesting - it means that we have to consider the possibility that they're both NEGATIVE...
2) 4 of the answers will always be true, while one of them will EITHER be sometimes true OR never true. We'll have to keep working until we find 1 answer that is not true (for whatever reason) - that will be the solution to this question.
Since 2A = 5B, I'm going to run 2 pairs of TESTs at the same time...
A = 5
B = 2
AND
A = -5
B = -2
Answer A: 0 < B/A < 1
2/5 and -2/-5 both = 2/5. Answer A appears true.
Answer B: AB is positive
(2)(5) and (-2)(-5) both = +10. Answer B appears true.
Answer C: B is between 0 and A on the number line
0....2....5
-5....-2....0
Answer C appears true.
Answer D: A/B = 10/4
5/2 = -5/-2
10/4 = 5/2
Answer D appears true.
Answer E: A - B is positive
5 - 2 = 3
-5 - (-2) = -3 *****This is NOT always true.

Options:
A)1.35%
B)85.71%
C)3.12%
D)4.78%
E)3.69%
Rationale: Let the annual bonus be X.
A corporation triples its annual bonus.
So new bonus = 7X.
Increase = 7X-X =6X
The increase is what percent of the employees’ new bonus
= (6X/7X)*100
= 85.71%
Hence B.

Question: A boatman can row 3 km against the stream in 20 minutes and return in 18 minutes. Find the rate of current ?
Options:
A)1/3 kmph
B)2/3 kmph
C)1/4 kmph
D)1/2 kmph
E)1/6 kmph
Rationale: Explanation:
Speed in upstream = Distance / Time = 3 x 60/20 = 9 km/hr.
Speed in downstream = 3 x 60/18 = 10 km/hr
Rate of current = (10-9)/2 = 1/2 km/hr.

In the sequence above each term after after the first one-half the previous term. If x is the tenth term of the sequence, then x satisfies which of the following inequalities?
Options:
A)0.1 < x < 1
B)0.01 < x < 0.1
C)0.001 < x < 0.01
D)0.0001 < x < 0.001
E)0.000001 < x < 0.00001
Rationale: In the Sequence notice that the sequence is just the 1/(2^n) ...
so for 1st term=1/2^1=1/2
2nd term=1/(2^2)1/4, 3rd term=1/(2^3)=1/8 and so on...
Thus the 10th term will be 1/(2^10)=1/1024
Roughly, 1/1024 can be 1/1000=0.001 but since denominator is a bit more than 1000 therefore the actual value will be a bit less than 0.001.
thus the ans will lie btw. 0.000001 and 0.0001.(E)

Question: Ifaequals the sum of the even integers from 2 to 100, inclusive, andbequals the sum of the odd integers from 1 to 99, inclusive, what is the value of a - b ?
Options:
A)1
B)50
C)19
D)20
E)21
Rationale: This is a solution from Beatthegmat:
even numbers:
(100-2)/2 + 1 = 50 even integers.
(100+2)/2 = 51 is the average of the even set.
sum = avg*(#of elements) = 51*50 = 2550 = a
odd numbers:
(99-1)/2 + 1 = 50 odd integers.
(99+1)/2 = 50 is the average of the odd set.
sum = avg*(#of elements) = 50*50 = 2500 = b
a-b = 2550 - 2500 = 50. (B)

Question: If Ajay drives at 4/5th of his usual speed to his office, he is 6 minutes late. What is his usual time to reach his office?
Options:
A)36
B)24
C)30
D)18
E)19
Rationale: Explanation:
Let t be his usual time to reach his office and v be his usual speed.
v = d/t ……….(d is the distance Ajay travels while going to his office)
vt = d
At v1 = 4v/5 ; t1 = t + 6
4v/5 = d/(t + 6)
4v/5* (t + 6) = d
4v/5* (t + 6) = vt
On solving we get,
t = 24 minutes

Question: A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. Find the length of the train?
Options:
A)150 meter
B)299 meter
C)666 meter
D)155 meter
E)144 meter
Rationale: Speed = 60*(5/18) m/sec = 50/3 m/sec
Length of Train (Distance) = Speed * Time
(50/3) * 9
= 150 meter
Answer: A
Answer: A
Question: In a 500 m race, the ratio of the speeds of two contestants A and B is 3 : 4. A has a start of 155 m. Then, A wins by:
Options:
A)60 m
B)20m
C)40 m
D)20m
E)23m
Rationale: To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500 - 155)m, i.e., 345 m.
While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.
While A covers 345 m, B covers 4 x 345/3	m	= 460 m.
Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 460 m and therefore remains 40 m behind.
A wins by 40 m.

Question: Two full tanks one shaped like the cylinder and the other like a cone contain liquid fuel the cylindrical tank held 500 lts more then the conical tank After 200 lts of fuel is pumped out from each tank the cylindrical tank now contains twice the amount of fuel in the canonical tank How many lts of fuel did the cylindrical tank have when it was full?
Options:
A)1200
B)279
C)2879
D)27976
E)27711
Rationale: Let the cylindrical tank capacity x + 500 then the conical tank capacity = x
After 200 lts pumped out, then remaining fuel with the tanks = x +300, x - 200
Given that first term is doubt the second.
x+300x−200=21x+300x−200=21
Solving we get x = 700
Cylindrical tank capacity = 1200 lts
