Question: In a contest, there are 9 identical boxes: in 7 boxes there are a $50 bill into each box, and in 2 boxes there are a $100 bill into each one. To win and get the money picked, you have to choose two boxes that contain different bills. What is the probability to win?
Options:
A) 2/9
B) 1/9
C) 49/1296
D) 7/36
E) 7/18
Rationale: We are told that we have 9 identical boxes, 7 of $50 and 2 of $100. The bills are picked simultaneous and randomly, B1 and B2, in different flavors. There are two acceptable outcomes: 1) B1 is $50 and B2 is $100; 2) B1 is $100 and B2 is $50. Let's go: 1) B1 = (7/9)(2/8)= 7/36 chance of this happening. 2) B2 = (2/9)(7/8) = 7/36 chance of this happening. Then: (7/36)+(7/36)= 7/18, chance of getting the result that you wanted. Answer E.

one of them is a girl?
Options:
A)1/3
B)4/7
C)4/9
D)4/11
E)5/7
Rationale: Let b stand for boy and g for girl. The sample space of the experiment is
S = {(g, g), (g, b), (b, g), (b, b)}
Let E and F denote the following events :
E : ‘both the children are girls’
F : ‘at least one of the child is a girl’
Then E = {(g,g)} and F = {(g,g), (g,b), (b,g)}
Now E n F = {(g,g)}
Thus P(F) = 3/4
and P (E n F )= 1/4
Therefore P(E|F) = P(E ∩ F)/P(F) = (1/4)/(3/4) = 1/3

Question: Before being simplified, the instructions for computing income tax in country R were to add 5 percent of one's annual income to the average(arithmetic mean) of 100 units of Country R's currency and 1 percent of one's annual income. Which of the following represents the simplified formula for computing the income tax, in country R's currency, for a person in that country whose annual income is I?
Options:
A)50 + I/200
B)50 + 3I/100
C)50+ 11I/200
D)100+ I/50
E)100+ 3I/100
Rationale: Income of a person is I
5 percent of ones annual income = 5I/100
100 units of Country R's currency = 100
1 percent of one's annual income = I/100
Average of 100 units and 1 percent annual income = 50 + I/200
Sum of average and 5 percent = 5I/100 + 50 + I/200
= 50 + 11I/200
So answer is C.

B)(xz - y) / 100
C)(xz - y) / 10,000
D)(xyz - 2y) / 100
E)(xyz - 2y) / 10,000
Rationale: We're told that X percent of Y percent of Z is DECREASED by Y percent. We're asked for the result of all of this math.
IF....
X = 10
Y = 50
Z = 100
First, 50% of 100 = 50
Next, 10% of 50 = 5
Finally, 5 decreased by 50% of itself is 2.5
So we're looking for an answer that equals 2.5 when X=10, Y=50 and Z=100.

Question: A certain list of 100 data has an average (arithmetic mean) of 5 and a standard deviation of d, where d is positive. Which of the following pairs of data, when added to the list, must result in a list of 100 data with standard deviation less than d?
Options:
A)-5 and 0
B)0 and 0
C)0 and 5
D)0 and 10
E)5 and 5
Rationale: Standard deviation shows how much variation there is from the mean. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values.
So when we add numbers, which are far from the mean we are stretching the set making SD bigger and when we add numbers which are close to the mean we are shrinking the set making SD smaller.
According to the above adding two numbers which are closest to the mean will shrink the set most, thus decreasing SD by the greatest amount.
Closest to the mean are 5 and 5 (actually these numbers equal to the mean) thus adding them will definitely shrink the set, thus decreasing SD.
Answer: E.
Answer: E

Question: In a chess competition involving some men and women, every player needs to play exactly one game with every other player. It was found that in 45 games, both the players were women and in 190 games, both players were men. What is the number of games in which one person was a man and other person was a woman?
Options:
A)40
B)120
C)180
D)200
E)220
Rationale: This is similar to handshake problem, If there are NN people, then number of handshakes = 1+2+...N=N∗(N−1)/2
No. of Women be xx and given x∗(x−1)/2=45 This gives x=10
|||y No. of Men : solve y∗(y−1)/2=190. This gives y=20

Question: How many numbers between 200 and 700 begin or end with 5?
Options:
A)20
B)60
C)140
D)110
E)120
Rationale: How many numbers between 200 and 700 begin or end with 5?
Just think that those numbers are:
i) The ones ending in 5: 205, 215, 225, ... , 695 --> 50 numbers
ii) The ones beginning in 3: 300, 301, 302, 303, ... , 393, ... , 399 --> 100 numbers
BUT 10 out of the first 50 numbers are repeated in the second set.
THEREFORE, the solution is 140 numbers.

Question: A new home buyer pays 4% annual interest on her first mortgage and 9% annual interest on her second mortgage. If she borrowed a total of $340,000, 80% of which was in the first mortgage, what is her approximate monthly interest payment?
Options:
A)$1,416
B)$1,733
C)$3,466
D)$13,333
E)$20,796
Rationale: 0.04x + 0.09y = 340000 [1]
0.04x = 0.80 * 340000 = 272000 [2]
272000 + 0.09y = 340000 --> 0.09y = 64000 [3]
272000 / 12 = 22666.67 [4]
64000 / 12 = 5666.67 [5]
Adding [4,5] we get: 28333.33 [6]
Dividing [6] / 2 to get an average we get 1.416,ANS A
Answer: A
Question: Gasoline varies in cost from $0.93 to $1.13 per gallon. If a car’s mileage varies from 16 to 24 miles per gallon, what is the difference between the most and least that the gasoline for a 480-mile trip will cost?
Options:
A)$15.13
B)$15.30
C)$15.72
D)$16.01
E)$16.23
Rationale: Solution:
We know that the per gallon cost of gasoline varies from $0.93 - $1.13.
Now we want to find the MAXIMUM difference between the least amount of money spent on gasoline and the largest amount of money spent i.e. to calculate max. trip cost - min. trip cost.
Mileage is given to be 16 to 24 miles per gallon, thus to travel 480 miles you will need gasoline in the range 480/24 to 480/16 which is 20 to 30 gallons.
So, for these 20 gallons and 30 gallons of gasoline the cost is as follows: (divide this task into 2 parts, 1 for 30 gallons and 2nd one for 20 gallons).
Case 1: for 30 gallons the cost is 30*0.93 to 30*1.13 which is $27.90 to $33.90
Case 2: for 20 gallons the cost is 20*0.93 to 20*1.13 which is $18.60 to $22.60
Thus, the maximum cost of the 480 mile trip is $33.90 and minimum is $18.60
so the difference is $33.90 - $18.60 = $15.30

Question: Ramesh purchased a refrigerator for Rs. 14500 after getting a discount of 20% on the labelled price. He spent Rs. 125 on transport and Rs. 250 on installation. At what price should it be sold so that the profit earned would be 10% if no discount was offered?
Options:
A)34778
B)26888
C)20350
D)17600
E)12778
Rationale: Price at which the TV set is bought = Rs. 14,500
Discount offered = 20%
Marked Price = 12500 * 100/80 = Rs. 18125
The total amount spent on transport and installation = 125 + 250 = Rs. 375\Total price of TV set = 18125 + 375 = Rs. 18500
The price at which the TV should be sold to get a profit of 10% if no discount was offered = 18500 * 110/100
= Rs. 20350

Question: If 3 people a,b,c can do a work simultaneously in 6 days. a and b can do work in 10 days. b and c can do work in 15 days. c and a can do the same work in 20 days.In how many days that a can complete the same work alone?
Options:
A)20
B)25
C)30
D)24
E)19
Rationale: a+b+c=1/6(one day work)
a+b=1/10;b+c=1/15;c+a+1/20
b=1/15-c;c=1/20-a;---------(2)
substitute equation 2 in a+b=1/10
a=1/10-b;a=1/10-1/15+c;
a=1/10-1/15+1/20-a;
2a=1/10-1/15+1/20;
a=1/24(one day work)
That is the no of days that a can work alone is 24 days
