Question: If a boat goes 6 km upstream in 30 minutes and the speed of the stream is 3 kmph, then the speed of
the boat in still water is
Options:
A)12 kmph
B)13 kmph
C)14 kmph
D)15 kmph
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Rate upstream = (6/30)*60 kmh = 12 kmph.
Speed of stream = 3 kmph.
Let speed in still water is x km/hr
Then, speed upstream = (x ï¿½3) km/hr.
x-3 = 12 or x = 15 kmph

Question: Find the invalid no.from the following series 15 46 63 71 75 77 78
Options:
A)23
B)46
C)45
D)59
E)40
Rationale: In this question, if you start from the beginning, firstly the difference is 31, then the difference is 17, then the difference is 8. So there is no logic. If you start backwards,you can see that firstly, 1 is added, then 2 is added, then 4 is added, then 8,16 and 32 should have been added. So you have got the right clue. So 15 + 32 the first number should be 47 and afterwards, the series becomes + 16, + 8, + 4and so on. 46

Question: An article was sold after a discount of 20% and there wasa gain of 20%. If the profit made onit was Rs.6 less than thediscount offered on it, find its SP?
Options:
A)Rs. 48
B)Rs. 56
C)Rs. 72
D)Rs. 81
E)Rs. 83
Rationale: Let CP = Rs. 100x
SP = Rs. 120x
MP = 120x/80 * 100 = Rs. 150x

Question: An alloy of copper and zinc contains copper and zinc in the ratio 8 : 2. Another alloy of copper and zinc contains copper and zinc in the ratio 4 : 6. In what ratio should the two alloys be mixed so that the resultant alloy contains equal proportions of copper and zinc?
Options:
A)5 : 1
B)4 : 1
C)3 : 1
D)6 : 1
E)8 : 1
Rationale: Let Alloy_1 be x units, and let Alloy_2 be y units.
So, fraction of copper in Alloy_1 = 8x/10, and fraction of zinc in Alloy_1 = 2x/10
Similarly, fraction of copper in Alloy_2 = 4y/10, and fraction of zinc in Alloy_2 = 6y/10.
Mixing them, we get
copper = 8x/10 +4y/10; zinc = 2x/10 + 6y/10
So, 8x+4y = 2x+6y
-> 6x = 2y
-> x/y =6/2 = 3/1
So, they must be mixed in the ratio 3 : 1

Question: The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and that of B and C be 43 kg, then the weight of B is:
Options:
A)33 kg
B)31 kg
C)32 kg
D)36 kg
E)37 kg
Rationale: B
31 kg
Let A, B, C represent their respective weights.
Then, we have: A + B + C = (45 x 3) = 135 .... (i)
A + B = (40 x 2) = 80 .... (ii)
B + C = (43 x 2) = 86 ....(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get: A + 2B + C = 166 .... (iv)
Subtracting (i) from (iv), we get : B = 31.
B's weight = 31 kg.

Question: A square mirror has exactly half the area of the rectangular wall on which it is hung. If each side of the mirror is 24 inches and the width of the wall is 42 inches, what is the length of the wall, in inches?
Options:
A) 21.4
B) 23.4
C) 25.4

Question: Mr. Kramer, the losing candidate in a two-candidate election, received 942,568 votes, which was exactly 30 percent of all votes cast. Approximately what percent of the remaining votes would he need to have received in order to have won at least 50 percent of all the votes cast?
Options:
A)10%
B)12%
C)15%
D)29%
E)20%
Rationale: Let me try a simpler one.
Lets assume that candidate got 30% votes and total votes is 100.
Candidate won = 30
Remaining = 70
To get 50%, candidate requires 20 votes from 100 which is 20% and 20 votes from 70.
20/70 = 2/7= .285 = 28.5%
Which is approx 29%. Hence the answer is D.

Options:
A)30
B)20
C)23

Number of students who answered Q2 correctly =20, therefore, all students who took test answered Q2 correctly.
So, number of students who answered Q1 correctly, also answered Q2 correctly = 20.
Number of students who answered both Q1 & Q2 correctly = 20.

Question: List I: 3, 4, 8, 19
List II: x, 3, 4, 8, 19
Options:
A) 6
B) 7
C) 8
D) 9
E) 10
Rationale: We start by calculating the median of the numbers of list I: 3, 4, 8, 19. We see that the numbers in the list are in order already and, since we have an even number of numbers, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
median = (4 + 8)/2
median = 12/2
median = 6
The median of list I is 6.
Looking at list II: x, 3, 4, 8, 19, we see that we have an odd number of terms. Thus, when the list is ordered from least to greatest the median must be the middle term. Since the medians of the two lists must be equal, we know that the median of list II must be 6 and therefore x is 6.
The answer is A.

Question: Two trains, B and C, started simultaneously from opposite ends of a 50-mile route and traveled toward each other on parallel tracks. Train B, traveling at a constant rate, completed the 50-mile trip in 4 hours; Train C, traveling at a constant rate, completed the 50-mile trip in 2 hours. How many miles had train B traveled when it met train C?
Options:
A) 16.66
B) 24
C) 32.66
D) 42
E) 46
Rationale: As the ratio of the rates of B and C is 2 to 4 then the distance covered at the time of the meeting (so after traveling the same time interval) would also be in that ratio, which means that B would cover 2/(2+4)=2/6 of 50 miles: 50*2/6=16.66 miles.
Answer: A.

Question: 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 70, 75, 100, 100, 100.
The list above shows the scores of 10 schoolchildren on a certain test. If the standard deviation of the 10 scores is 22.3, rounded to the nearest tenth, how many of the scores are more than 1 standard deviation below the mean of the 10 scores?
Options:
A)1
B)2
C)3
D)4
E)5
Rationale: The average of {40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 70, 75, 100, 100, 100} is 69.5.
1 standard deviation below the mean is 69.5 - 22.3 = 47.2. Hence there are two scores (40 and 45) more than 1 standard deviation below the mean.

Question: In 1995 a certain store had 1,900 tools in stock that had been purchased for $30 each. If 1,000 of these tools were sold in 1995 for $40 each and the remaining 800 were sold in 1996 for $50 each, how many greater was the gross profit on the tools sold in 1996 than the gross profit on those sold in 1995?
Options:
A)$0
B)$6,000
C)$8,000
D)$32,000
E)$40,000
Rationale: The keyword here isGross Profit:
Gross Profit = (Selling Price - Original Price)*(# of Items Sold)
So lets figure out what the Gross Profit for 1995:
GP1995 = (40-30)*(1000) = 10000
And the Gross Profit for 1996:
GP1996 = (50-30)*(900) = 18000
So the difference would be:
18000-10000 = 8000

E)13
Rationale: According to order of operations, inner brackets first where 6×4÷3 is first calculated since it has a multiplication and a division.
6×4÷3 = 24÷3 = 8
Hence
11 + sqrt(- 4 + 6×4÷3) = 11 + sqrt(- 4 + 8)

Let us break the problem into different parts.
We know that after six, all the numbers that are divisible by three can be ordered. This is because we can expand them as the sum off sixes and nines.
After twenty six, the numbers that are divisible by three if subtracted by twenty can also be ordered.
After forty six, all the numbers will fit in one of the already discussed category. Thus all the numbers can be ordered.
So forty three is the last number that does not come under any of the already discussed category.
44 = 20 + 6 * 4, 45 = 6 * 6 + 9

Question: In a certain school, 20% of students are below 8 years of age. The number of students above 8 years of age is 2/3 of the number of students of 8 years of age which is 72. What is the total number of students in the school?
Options:

80% of x = 72 + 2/3 of 72
80/100x = 120
x = 150.
