Question: How many keystrokes are needed to type numbers from 1 to 200?
Options:
A)400
B)500
C)492
D)200
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanatory Answer
While typing numbers from 1 to 200, there are 9 single digit numbers: from 1 to 9.
Each of these numbers requires one keystroke.
That is 9 key strokes.
There are 90 two-digit numbers: from 10 to 99.
Each of these numbers requires 2 keystrokes.
Therefore, 180 keystrokes to type the 2-digit numbers.
There are 101 three-digit numbers: from 100 to 200.
Each of these numbers requires 3 keystrokes.
Therefore, 303 keystrokes to type the 3-digit numbers.
Totally, therefore, one requires 9 + 180 + 303 = 492 keystrokes.

Question: Three people who work full-time are to work together on a project, but their total time on the project is to be equivalent to that of only one person working full-time. If one of the people is budgeted for 1/2 of his time to the project and a second person for 1/3 of her time, what part of the third worker's time should be budgeted to this project?
Options:
A)1/3
B)1/4
C)1/6
D)1/8
E)1/9
Rationale: Explanation:
One-half (1/2) plus one-third (1/3) equals five-sixths (5/6), so one-sixth (1/6) of the third worker's time should be budgeted to the project in order for the total time to be equivalent to that of one person working full-time.
If x 2 - x - 6 = 0, then (x + 2)(x - 3) = 0, so x = -2 or x = 3.

Question: We have 20 thousand dollars that must be invested among 4 possible
mutual funds. Each investment must be in units of 1 thousand dollars,
and there are minimal investments that need to be made if one is to
invest in these funds. The minimal investments are 2, 2, 3 and 4 thou-
sand dollars. How many dierent investment strategies are available if
an investment must be made in each mutual fund?
Options:
A)220
B)240
C)260
D)280
E)300
Rationale: Since minimal investments must be made for 2, 2, 3, and 4 thousand dollars into
the four mutual funds, this leaves 20-2-2-3-4 = 9 thousand dollars to invest as one
pleases. Thus, we want to determine the number of ways of dividing up 9 thousand dollars
among 4 different mutual funds. Consider 12 different boxes aligned as shown and check
three of them:Here, we have checked the first, fifth, and tenth boxes. Each such diagram corresponds to
a way of investing the remaining money as follows. We order the mutual funds. Count
the number of unchecked boxes to the left of the first checkmark. Call this number k1.
In the illustration above, k1 = 0. Next, count the number of unchecked boxes between
the first two checkmarks. Call this number k2. In the illustration, k2 = 3. Next, call
k3 the number of unchecked boxes between the second and third checkmarks, and call k4
the number of unchecked boxes after the third checkmark. Thus, k3 = 4 and k4 = 2.
Observe that k1 + k2 + k3 = 9, the total number of unchecked boxes. Make additional
investments (beyond the required minimal investments) of k1 thousand dollars in the first
fund, k2 thousand dollars in the second fund, k3 thousand dollars in the third fund, and
k4 thousand dollars in the fourth fund. Thus, the total number of dierent investments is
the same as the number of ways of choosing three blocks (to check) from among 12 blocks.
This number is(12 3)=12/3*9=12*11*10/3*2*1=220

Question: P can do a work in the same time in which Q and R together can do it. If P and Q work together, the work can be completed in 10 days. R alone needs 50 days to complete the same work. then Q alone can do it in
Options:
A)30 days
B)25 days
C)20 days
D)15 days
E)24 days
Rationale: Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/10
Work done by R in 1 day = 1/50
Work done by P, Q and R in 1 day = 1/10 + 1/50 = 6/50
But Work done by P in 1 day = Work done by Q and R in 1 day . Hence the above equation can be written as
Work done by P in 1 day × 2 = 6/50
=> Work done by P in 1 day = 3/50
=> Work done by Q and R in 1 day = 3/50
Hence work done by Q in 1 day = 3/50 – 1/50 = 2/50 = 1/25
So Q alone can do the work in 25 days

Question: Two cars A and B start from Boston and New York respectively simultaneously and travel towards each other at constant speeds along the same route. After meeting at a point between Boston and New York the two cars A and B proceed to their respective destinations of New York and Boston. Car A reaches New York 100 minutes after the two cars have met and Car B reaches Boston 90 minutes after they have met. How long did Car A take to cover the distance between Boston and New York?
Options:
A)1 hour
B)1 hour 10 minutes
C)2 hours 30 minutes
D)1 hour 40 minutes
E)2 hours 40 minutes
Rationale: Both cars leave at the same time
Both cars travel at constant speed
Stealing a useful piece of information from Paragkan:
If two objects A and B start from opposite points and, after having met en route, reach their respective destinations in a and b mins (or any other measure of time) respectively, then the ratio of their speeds
ratio of speed: (a/b) = sq. rt(b/a)
sq. rt(b/a)
sq. rt(90/100)
sq. rt(3/2)
So, for every three units of distance A travels, B travels two. Because we know the ratio of speed and the time it took B to travel the distance A hasn't yet covered, we can find the time it took A to cover the distance B did in 90 minutes.
90*(2/3)where 2/3 represents the lesser amount of time it took A to travel the distance B did in 90 minutes.
= 60 minutes.
Therefore, A took 100 minutes to travel the first portion then 60 minutes to travel the distance B did in 90 minutes. A spent (100+60)=160 minutes on the road.

C)2 hr
D)2 hr 20 min
E)3 hr
Rationale: Sol:
Lets Perry Rate be P and Rate of Maria be M
(rate)*(time)= Work or rate = work/time
first equation=> P+M = 1/45
converting it to hrs P+M= 1/(45/60) => 1/(3/4) =>4/3
second equation => M+3M =>1/20
converting it to hrs 4M=1/(20/60) =>1/(1/3) =>3
therefore M= 3/4 and P=7/12
Rate of Perry = 7/12
time= work/rate (work = 1 job)
Time= 1 hrs 7 mins

Question: A fair gold coin with sides marked heads and tails is to be tossed eight times. What is the probability that the coin will land tails side up more than five times?
Options:
A)A)37/256
B)B)56/256
C)C)65/256
D)D)70/256
E)E)81/256
Rationale: Landing on tails more than 5 times means tails has to hit 6, 7 or 8 times.
8!/6!2! = 7*4 = 28
8!/7!1! = 8
8!/8! = 1
28 + 8 + 1 = 37/256

Question: Suppose we have six marbles: 3 blue marbles, 2 red marbles, and one green marble. Suppose we are going to put them into three cups: a black cup, a white cup, and a purple cup. We could put all six in any cup and leave two cups empty; or we could put marbles in two cups and leave one cup empty; or we could put some marbles in each of the three cups. How many combinations are possible?
Options:
A)90
B)180
C)360
D)540
E)720
Rationale: # ways to distribute Blue marbles(3) is :
1 in each cup= 1
2 in one cup and 1 in other=6
all 3 in one cup = 3
total 1+6+3=10 possibilities
# ways to distribute Red marbles(2) is :
1 in each cup = 3 ways
all in one cup = 3ways
total 6ways.
# ways to distribute Green marbles(1) is :
3 ways
total number of ways = 10*6 *3 = 180 ANS:B

Question: A train running at the speed of 52 km/hr crosses a pole in 18 seconds. What is the length of the train?
Options:
A)120 metres
B)180 metres
C)260 metres
D)150 metres
E)100 meters
Rationale: Speed=52 x5/18m/sec=130/9	m/sec.
Length of the train = (Speed x Time).
Length of the train =	130/9 x 18m = 260 m.
ANSWER:C
Answer: C
Question: When a train travels at a speed of 60kmph,it reaches the destination on time.when the same train travels at a speed of 50kmph,it reaches its destination 15min late.what is the length of journey?
Options:
A)75km
B)50km
C)60km
D)85km
E)95km
Rationale: Let x be the time reached with the speed 60km/h
50km/h ----> x+15
Distance is equal so
60(km/h)× xhr = 50(km/h) × (x+15) hr
So
60 x = 50x + 750
So the would be in km
And x = 75
So
75km
ANSWER:A
Answer: A
Question: A jogger running at 9 kmph along side a railway track is 250 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metre long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger?
Options:
A)3.6 sec
B)37 sec
C)36 sec
D)72 sec
E)None of these
Rationale: Speed of train relative to jogger
= (45 – 9) km/h = 36 km/h
= (36 × 5⁄18) m/sec = 10 m/sec
Distance to be covered = (250 + 120) m = 370 m.
∴ Time taken = (370⁄10) sec = 37 sec.

Question: One pipe can fill a tank three times as fast as another pipe. If together the two pipes can fill the tank in 35 minutes, then the slower pipe alone will be able to fill the tank in
Options:
A)144 mins
B)140 mins
C)136 mins
D)132 minw
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Let the slower pipe alone fill the tank in x minutes
then faster will fill in x/3 minutes.
Part filled by slower pipe in 1 minute = 1/x
Part filled by faster pipe in 1 minute = 3/x
Part filled by both in 1 minute =
1/x+3/x=1/35
=>4/x=1/35
x=35∗4=140 mins
Option B
Answer: B
Question: In a division sum,the divisor is 10 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder.If the remainder is 46,what is the dividend ?
Options:
