Question: The sum of two numbers is 64, and one of them is 12 more than the other. What are the two numbers?
Options:
A)26-38
B)50-34
C)60-24
D)42-42
E)21-63
Rationale: In this problem, we are asked to find two numbers. Therefore, we must let x be one of them. Let x, then, be the first number.
We are told that the other number is 12 more, x + 12.
The problem states that their sum is 64:
word problem = 64
The line over x + 12 is a grouping symbol called a vinculum. It saves us writing parentheses.
We have:
2x = 64 âˆ’ 12
= 52.
x = 52/2
= 26.
This is the first number. Therefore the other number is
x + 12 = 26 + 12 = 38.
The sum of 26 + 38 is 64.

Question: The average of 6 numbers is 6.8. If one of the numbers is multiplied by a factor of 3, the average of the numbers increases to 9.2. What number is multiplied by 3?
Options:
A) 9.5
B) 8.0
C) 7.2
D) 5.0
E) 4.0
Rationale: The average of 6 numbers is 6.8
The sum of 6 numbers will be 6.8 x 6 = 40.8
The average of 6 number after one of the number is multiplied by 3 is 9.2
The sum of the numbers will now be 9.2 x 6 = 55.2
So the sum has increased by 55.2-40.8 = 14.4
Let the number multiplied by 3 be n
Then,
3n = n+14.4
or 2n = 14.4
or n = 7.2

Question: The water from one outlet, flowing at a constant rate, can fill a swimming pool in 7 hours. The water from a second outlet, flowing at a constant rate, can fill the same pool in 4 hours. If both outlets are used at the same time, approximately what is the number of hours required to fill the pool?
Options:
A) 0.22
B) 0.31
C) 2.54
D) 3.21
E) 4.56
Rationale: Always remember RT=W i.e Rate*Time = Work
Also remember that rate can be added or subtracted. For e.g if A do a work in 2 day and B do a work in 2 day.
They both of them together will do a work in 1 day.
So now your question first determine both outlets rate.
1st outlet rate = 1/7 (R=W/T here W=1 work, T = 7hrs)
2nd outlet rate = 1/4 (R=W/T here W=1 work, T = 4hrs)
Both of them working together rate = 1st outlet rate + 2nd outlet rate = 1/7+1/4 = 11/28
again apply the formula RT=W
T = W/R = 1/11/28 = 28/11 =2.54

Question: There are 6 working days in a regular week and for each day, the working hours are 10. A man earns Rs. 2.10 per hour for regular work and Rs. 4.20 per hour for overtime. If he earns Rs.525 in 4 weeks, how many hours did he work?
Options:
A)245
B)285
C)275
D)255
E)265
Rationale: Explanation :
Regular working hours in 4 weeks = (4 × 6 × 10) = 240 hours
Amount earned by working in these regular working hours
= 240 × 2.10 = Rs.504
Additional amount he earned = 525 - 504 = Rs.21
Hours he worked overtime = 21/4.2 = 210/42 = 5 hours
Total hours he worked = 240 + 5 = 245 hours

Question: There are three categories of jobs A, B and C. The average salary of the student who got the job of A and B categories is 26 lakh per annum. The average salary of the students who got the job of B and C category is 44 lakh per annum and the average salary of those students who got the job of A and C categories is 34 lakh per annum. The most appropriate (or closet) range of average salary of all the three categories (if it is known that each student gets only one category of jobs i.e. , A, B and C):
Options:
A)lies between 30 and 44
B)lies between 28 and 34
C)lies between 34 and 44
D)lies between 27 and 44
E)None of these
Rationale: Solution: Let the number of students who got the job of A, B and C categories is a, b and c respectively,
Then the total salary,
= [{26(a+b)+44(b+c)+34(c+a)}/2(a+b+c)]
= [(60a+70b+78c)/2(a+b+c)]
= [30(a+b+c)+(5b+9c)]/(a+b+c)
= 30 + some positive value
Thus, the minimum salary must be Rs. 30 lakh and the maximum salary can not exceed 44, which is the highest of the three.

Question: If x^2 − 2x − 15 = (x + r)( x + s) for all values of x, and if r and s are constants, then which of the following is a possible value of( r − s)/2?
Options:
A)8
B)2
C)− 2
D)− 4
E)− 5
Rationale: We know that given ax^2 + bx + c = 0, Sum of the roots = -b/a and product of the roots = c/a.
The roots here are -r and -s.
-r - s = -(-2)/1 = r + s = -2
(-r)*(-s) = -15/1 = rs
So one of r and s is -5 and the other is 3. So (r - s)/2 could be 4 or -4.
