Options:
A)12
B)18
C)32
D)40
E)44
Rationale: let's take numbers here.
Assume that the total number of movie theaters in the town = 100
Then number of movie theaters with 3 screens or less = 60
=> Number of movie theaters with 4 screens or more = 40
Movie theaters with 3 screens or less selling popcorn at more than $300 = 20% of 60 = 12
Number of movie theaters selling popcorn at $300 or less = 56
=> Number of movie theaters selling popcorn at more than $300 = 100-56 = 44
Of these 44 theaters, 12 are those with 3 screens or less
Therefore 32 (44-12) must be those with four screens or more

Question: If 4 Men or 6 Women take 4 days to complete some work, how many days will 8 Men and 4 Women working together take to complete the work?
Can anyone explain please?
Options:
A)1. 3/2 days
B)2. 4/9 Days
C)3. 9/4 days
D)4.5/2 days
E)5.3 days
Rationale: 4 men or 6 women takes 4 days to complete the work
So 4M = 6W
W = 2/3M
1 man in 1 day does 1 unit of work
so 4 M in 4 M = 16 units of work
now 8 M and 4 W = 8 M + 4(2/3)M
= 8M + 8M/3
= 36M
Since both set do the same work
36M in n Days = 16 units of work
n = 16/36 = 4/9 days.

Options:
A)6
B)5
C)4
D)3
E)2
Rationale: An easy way to solve this question will be just to mark the points on the coordinate plane.
You'll see that the distance between the center (-2, -1) and the point inside the circle (1, -1) is 3 units
(both points are on y=-1 line so the distance will simply be 1-(-2)=3)
So the radius must be more than 3 units.
The distance between the center (-2,-1) and the point outside the circle (-2,4) is 5 units
(both points are on x=-2 line so the distance will simply be 4-(-1)=5)
So the radius must be less than 5 units, which implies 3 < r < 5, thus as r is an integer then r=4.

The accounting department estimates that transportation expenses will increase 5 percent in the coming year, and nontransportation travel expenses will increase by 15 percent in the coming year. Last year, Chauncy Co. spent $19,500 on transportation-related expenses, and $35,000 on nontransportation travel expenses. If the annual travel budget does not increase this year, and if the accounting department’s estimates are correct, how far over the annual travel budget will expenses be this year?
Options:
A)$3,725
B)$500
C)$4,225
D)$5,725
E)$60,725
Rationale: annual travel budget of $57,000
Let, Transportation expenses = T = 19500

Speed of faster train be x m/s and slower train be y m/s
In the first case Relative speed = x-y
Relative Speed = Distance / Time taken = x-y = 240/15 = 16 m/s(1)
In the second case, the slower train moves at half its speed
Relative Speed = x-0.5y = 240/10 = 24 m/s ..(2)
Solving equation 1 & 2 we get x = 32 and y = 16 .
The speed of the faster and slower trains are 32 m/s and 16 m/s respectively

Question: Train A left Centerville Station, heading toward Dale City Station, at 3: 00 p.m. Train B left Dale City Station, heading toward Centerville Station, at 2: 20 p.m. on the same day. The trains rode on straight tracks that were parallel to each other. If Train A traveled at a constant speed of 30 miles per hour and Train B traveled at a constant speed of 10 miles per hour, and the distance between the Centerville Station and Dale City Station is 90 miles, when did the trains pass each other?
Options:
A)4: 45 p.m.
B)5: 00 p.m.
C)5: 20 p.m.
D)4: 20 p.m.
E)6: 00 p.m.
Rationale: the distance travelled by the train A in first 20 minutes will be 10.
The distance which will be remaining is 80.
Now both trains are running in opposite direction.Their speed will be added so 40.
Time at which they will meet =80/40=2
time of train B will be 2:20 +2=4:20
Hence answer is D.Hope i am correct
Answer: D
Question: Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $155. If she gets paid every other week, write an integer describing how the raise will affect her paycheck.
Options:
A)$ 145.
B)$ 146
C)$ 147
D)$ 155
E)None
Rationale: Solution:
Let the 1st paycheck be x (integer).
Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $ 155.
So after completing the 1st week she will get $ (x+155).
Similarly after completing the 2nd week she will get $ (x + 155) + $ 155.
= $ (x + 155 + 155)
= $ (x + 310)
So in this way end of every week her salary will increase by $ 155.

Question: A = {0, 1, -3, 6, -8, -10}
B = {-1, 2, -4, 7, 6, -9}
If a is a number that is randomly selected from Set A, and b is a number that is randomly selected from Set B, what is the probability that ab < 0?
Options:
A)1/4
B)1/3
C)5/13
D)5/12
E)1/2
Rationale: For the product of 2 numbers to be negative either of them must be positive or negative:
P(positive, negative) = 2/6*3/6 = 6/36;
P(negative,positive ) = 3/6 * 3/6 = 9/36
P = 6/36 + 9/36
P = 15/36
P = 5/12
