Question: In a certain game of dice, the player’s score is determined as a sum of two throws of a single die. The player with the highest score wins the round. If more than one player has the highest score, the winnings of the round are divided equally among these players. If Jim plays this game against 21 other players, what is the probability of the minimum score that will guarantee Jim some monetary payoff?
Options:
A)41/50
B)1/221
C)1/216
D)1/36
E)1/42
Rationale: Toguaranteethat Jim will get some monetary payoff he must score the maximum score of 6+6=12, because if he gets even one less than that so 11, someone can get 12 and Jim will get nothing.
P(12)=1/6^2=1/36.

Question: A magician has five animals in his magic hat: 3 doves and 2 rabbits. If he pulls two animals out of the hat at random, what is the chance X that he will have a matched pair?
Options:
A)X=2/5
B)X=3/5
C)X=1/5
D)1/2
E)7/5
Rationale: P(both doves) + P(both rabbits) = p(matched pair)
(3/5)*(2/4) + (2/5)*(1/4) = 2/5
Hi How did you get the probability 2/4 and 1/4???
You have 3 doves and 2 rabbits i.e. a total of 5 animals.
The probability that you pick a dove on your first pick is 3/5 (since there are 3 doves)
The probability that you pick a dove on your second pick too is 2/4 (because now only 2 doves are left after we picked a dove in the first pick. ALso only 4 animals are left to choose from)
Similarly,
The probability that you pick a rabbit on your first pick is 2/5 (since there are 2 rabbits)
The probability that you pick a rabbit on your second pick too is 1/4 (because now only 1 rabbit is left after we picked a rabbit in the first pick. Also only 4 animals are left to choose from)
Probability of picking a matched pair = 3/5 * 2/4 + 2/5 * 1/4 = 2/5

Question: A bag contains 12 red marbles. If someone were to remove 2 marbles from the bag, one at a time, and replace the first marble after it was removed, the probability that neither marble would be red is 36/49. How many marbles are in the bag?
Options:
A)24
B)48
C)84
D)72
E)80
Rationale: ok let me see if i can explain what went on in the previous post
lets say i have x marbles in the bag in total --> out of them 12 are red
so the probability of pulling a non-red marble is (x -12) / x
now the marble is placed back in the bag and we have x marbles again, of which again 12 are red. so the probability of pulling a non-red marble out is (x-12) / x
probability theorm states that if the probability of event A occuring is m and the probability of event B occuring is n then the probability of both A and B occuring is m*n
so therefore the probability of 2 non-red marbles getting pulled out is [(x-12)/x ] * [(x-12)/x]
this is given as 36/49
-->(x-12)^2= 36/49
x^2
square rooting u have x-12/x = 6/7 or 7x-6x =84 or x =84

Question: The average of runs of a cricket player of 10 innings was 34. How many runs must he make in his next innings so as to increase his average of runs by 4 ?
Options:
A)78
B)79
C)85
D)87
E)89
Rationale: Explanation:
Average = total runs / no.of innings = 34
So, total = Average x no.of innings = 34 x 10 = 340.
Now increase in avg = 4runs. So, new avg = 34+4 = 38runs
Total runs = new avg x new no. of innings = 38 x 11 = 418
Runs made in the 11th inning = 418 - 340 = 78 Answer: A

Question: The difference between compound interest and simple interest on a sum for two years at 8% per annum, where the interest is compounded annually is Rs.16. if the interest were compounded half yearly , the difference in two interests would be nearly
Options:
A)24.64
B)24.69
C)24.62
D)24.6
E)24.61
Rationale: Explanation:
For 1st year S.I =C.I.
Thus, Rs.16 is the S.I. on S.I. for 1 year, which at 8% is thus Rs.200
i.e S.I on the principal for 1 year is Rs.200
Principle = = Rs.2500
Amount for 2 years, compounded half-yearly
C.I = Rs.424.64
Also,
Hence, [(C.I) - (S.I)] = Rs. (424.64 - 400) = Rs.24.64

Options:
A)51
B)64
C)49
D)29
E)37
Rationale: (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2
8^2+ 8^4 + 8^6 = 8^2 (1+8^2+8^4)
if the above expression is solved even then every term of the expression will remain a multiple of 8^2 which is out of parenthesis
hence, b must be a multiple of 8^2 i.e. 64

Question: A train running at a speed of 36 kmph crosses an electric pole in 12 seconds. In how much time will it cross a 370 m long platform?
Options:
A)19
B)27
C)29
D)47
E)49
Rationale: Let the length of the train be x m.
When a train crosses an electric pole, the distance covered is its own length.
So, x = 12 * 36 * 5 /18 m = 120 m.
Time taken to cross the platform = (120 +370)/ 36 * 5/18
= 49 min.

Question: The prime sum of an integer n greater than 1 is the sum of all the prime factors of n, including repetitions. For example , the prime sum of 12 is 7, since 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 and 2 +2 + 3 = 7. For which of the following integers is the prime sum greater than 30 ?
Options:
A)440
B)512
C)550
D)620
E)750
Rationale: Large numbers are made in two ways:
Either by taking small prime numbers and raising them to higher powers or taking large prime numbers in the first place.
31*2 = 62 (large prime number)
2^6 = 64 (many small prime numbers)
To get a sum as large as 30 or more, you would need some large prime numbers. So options such as 512, 700 and 750 which have small prime numbers as factors should be ignored first. 440 also splits into 11, 4( which is 2*2), 2, 5 - relatively small prime numbers.
You are left with 620 which is 31*2*2*5 (sum greater than 30)

Thus, log10X + 2log10X + 3/2 log10X = 27
=> 9/2 log10X = 27
=> log10X = 6

Question: A sum of Rs.4600 is invested at a compound interest for three years, the rate of interest being 10% p.a., 20% p.a. and 25% p.a. for the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd years respectively. Find the interest received at the end of the three years.
Options:
A)Rs.2990
B)Rs.3120
C)Rs.3320
D)Rs.2760
E)None of these
Rationale: Let A be the amount received at the end of the three years.
A = 4600[1 + 10/100][1 + 20/100][1 + 25/100]
A = (4600 * 11 * 6 * 5)/(10 * 5 * 4)
A = Rs.7590
So the interest = 7590 - 4600 = Rs.2990

Question: Henry eats X scones in X percent of the time it takes Rachel to eat Y scones. If Rachel eats four scones in ten minutes, then the number of minutes it takes Henry to eat 20 scones must be equal to which of the following?
Options:
A)Y/2
B)20/Y
C)100Y/(15X)
D)XY/250
E)Y/(5X)
Rationale: Rachel eats 4 scones/10 minutes = 2/5 scones per minute
The time for Rachel to eat 1 scone is 5/2 minutes.
The time for Rachel to eat Y scones is 5Y/2 minutes.
The time for Henry to eat X scones is 5YX/200 minutes.
The time for Henry to eat 1 scone is 5Y/200 minutes.
The time for Henry to eat 20 scones is 100Y/200 = Y/2 minutes.
The answer is A.

Question: Jill works as a waitress at the local diner where she earns an hourly wage of $4.00 per hour and a standard tip rate of 15% of the cost of the orders she serves. If she worked one 8-hour shifts this week and averaged $40 in orders per hour, how much did Jill earn this week?
Options:
A)280
B)300
C)80
D)350
E)400
Rationale: Jill earns 4 dollars/hour and the hourly tip is (3/20)*40.
Jill thus earns 4*8+8*2*3 per day(or 4(8)+6(8)=10(8)=80).
Jill has worked for 1 days -> 80*1=80.
This matches answer choice C.

Question: Annie has 3 times the number of stamps that Doris does and Jane has 7 stamps more than Doris does. If Annie, Doris, and Jane each increase their number of stamps by 4, which of the following must be true after each person increases her number of stamps?
Annie has more stamps than Jane.
Jane has 3 more stamps than Doris.
The sum of the numbers of stamps that Annie and Doris have is a multiple of 4.
Options:
A)None
B)IIIonly
C)and III only
D)and III only
E)II, and III
Rationale: Given that:
A=3D;
J=D+7;
After increase:
Alice: A=3D+4;
Jane: J=D+11;
Doris: D+4.
Analyze each option:
Alice has more stamps than Jane.
3D+4>D+11 --> D>7/3=3.5. Thus this statement will be true if D is more than or equal to 4. Since we don't know that, then this statement is not always true.
Jane has 3 more stamps than Doris.
D+11=(D+4)+3. This is not true for ANY value of D.
The sum of the numbers of stamps that Alice and Doris have is a multiple of 4.
The sum of the numbers of stamps that Alice and Doris have is (3D+4)+(D+4)=4D+8=4(D+2). So, this sum is a multiple of 4 for ANY value of D, which smeans that this statement is always true.
Answer: B (III only).

Question: The banker's discount on Rs.1550 due a certain time hence is Rs.155. Find the true discount and the banker's gain.
Options:
A)14
B)15
C)18
D)21
E)None
Rationale: Solution
Sum	=B.D x T.D/ B.D - T.D
= B.D x T.D/ B.G
T.D / B. G	=Sum / B.D
= 1550 / 155
= 10 / 1
If B.D is Rs. 11,T.D= Rs.10.
If B.D is Rs.155,
T.D	= Rs.(10 / 11 x 155)
= Rs.140.
And, B.G	= Rs(155 - 140)
= Rs.14.
