Question: In a cricket team, the average of eleven players is 28 years. Out of these, the average ages of three groups of three players each are 25 years, 28 years and 32 years respectively. If in these groups, the captain and the youngest player are not included, and the captain is eleven years older than the youngest player, what is the age of the captain ?
Options:
A)32 years
B)34 years
C)35 years
D)36 years
E)37 years
Rationale: Explanation :
Let the age of youngest player be x.
Then, age of the captain = (x + 11).
=> 3*25 + 3*28 + 3*32 + x + x + 11 = 11*28.
=> 75+84+96+2x+11=308
so 2x = 42
so x = 21.
Age of the captain = (x+11)
= 32 years.

Question: If a farmer wants to plough a farm field on time, he must plough 120 hectares a day. For technical reasons he ploughed only 85 hectares a day, hence he had to plough 2 more days than he planned and he still has 40 hectares left. What is the area of the farm field and how many days the farmer planned to work initially?
Options:
A)334
B)720
C)667
D)261
E)181
Rationale: Let xx be the number of days in the initial plan. Therefore, the whole field is 120⋅x120⋅x hectares. The farmer had to work for x+2x+2 days, and he ploughed 85(x+2)85(x+2) hectares, leaving 4040 hectares unploughed. Then we have the equation:
120x=85(x+2)+40120x=85(x+2)+40
35x=21035x=210
x=6x=6
So the farmer planned to have the work done in 6 days, and the area of the farm field is 120⋅6=720120⋅6=720 hectares

Question: David works at a science lab that conducts experiments on bacteria. The population of the bacteria multiplies at a constant rate, and his job is to notate the population of a certain group of bacteria each hour. At 1 p.m. on a certain day, he noted that the population was 600 and then he left the lab. He returned in time to take a reading at 4 p.m., by which point the population had grown to 4,800. Now he has to fill in the missing data for 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. What was the population at 3 p.m.?
Options:
A)2400
B)3600
C)3000
D)2800
E)2500
Rationale: let the rate be x, then population of the bacteria after each hour can be given as 600,600x, 600(x^2), 600(x^3)
now population at 4pm =4800
thus we have 600(x^3) = 4800 =8
thus x=2
therefore population at 3pm = 600(4) = 2400

Question: A train travels from station A to station B. If it travels at a speed of 80 miles per hour, it ends up reaching the station 30 minutes late. If it travels at 120 miles per hour, it reaches the station 15 minutes early. What is the amount of time that the train is scheduled to take for the journey and what is the distance between the stations?
Options:
A)	2 hours, 225 miles
B)	3 hours, 350 miles
C)	1.75 hours, 180 miles
D)	5 hours, 550 miles
E)	6 hours, 650 miles
Rationale: Let t be the usual time and x be the distance between AB. So we need to find t and Distance x. The question gives us 2 combinations of speedtime, but the distance remains the same for both condition.
Equation 1 - x= 80 (t+.5) (converted 30 mins into hr) added .5 hrs because it is late or took more time than usual.
Equation 2 - x= 120 (t-.25) subtracted .25 hrs because it is early or took less time than usual.
Now equating 12 we get 100(t+.5)=120(t-.25)
=> 8t +4 = 12t - 3
=> 4t=7 => t= 1.75 hrs.
Hence x= 80(1.75+.5) =>80 X 2.25 => 180 miles.
Hence correct answer C.

Question: At a certain organisation, the number of male members went up by 13% in the year 2001 from year 2000, and the number of females members went down by 6% in the same time period. If the total membership at the organisation went up by 1.2% from the year 2000 to 2001, what was the ratio of male members to female members in the year 2000?
Options:
A)1:2
B)1:3
C)2:3
D)3:5
E)2:1
Rationale: men increase by 13% ==> 1.13M = males in 2001
women decrease by 6% ==> 0.94F = women in 2001
total employees increase by 1.2% ==> 1.012*(M + F) = total number of employees in 2001
Obviously
(males in 2001) + (females in 2001) = total number of employees in 2001
1.13M + 0.94F = 1.012*(M + F)
1.13M + 0.94F = 1.012M + 1.012F
1.13M - 1.012M = 1.012F - 0.94F
0.108M = 0.072F
M/F = (0.072)/(0.118) = 72/118 = 3/5

Question: a, b, and c are integers and a<b<c. S is the set of all integers from a to b, inclusive. Q is the set of all integers from b to c, inclusive. The median of set S is (3/4)*b. The median of set Q is (6/8)*c. If R is the set of all integers from a to c, inclusive, what fraction of c is the median of set R?
Options:
A) 3/8
B) 1/2
C) 11/16
D) 5/8
E) 3/4
Rationale: The answer isC: 11/16.
The key to this problem is remembering that the median for a consecutive set of numbers is equivalent to its mean. For example, the mean and median of a set consisting of x, x+1, x+2, ... ,y will always be (x+y)/2.
For set S, consisting of numbers (a, a+1,...,b), the median is given to be 3/4*b:
(a+b)/2 = (3/4)*b
a = b/2
For set Q, consisting of numbers (b, b+1,...,c), the median is given to be 6/8*c:
(b+c)/2 = (6/8)*c
b = (1/2)*c
For set R, consisting of numbers (a, a+1,...c), the median needs to be found:
a = b/2 = (1/2*c)/2 = (1/4)*c
Median = (a + c)/2 = (1/4*c + c)/2 = (5/4)*c/2 = (5/8)*c (ANSWER D)

Question: The area of the square formed on the diagonal of a rectangle as its side is 108 1/3 % more than the area of the rectangle. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 28 units, find the difference between the sides of the rectangle?
Options:
A)1m
B)5m
C)8m
D)2m
E)9m
Rationale: Let the sides of the rectangle be l and b respectively.
From the given data,
(√l2 + b2) = (1 + 108 1/3 %)lb
=> l2 + b2 = (1 + 325/3 * 1/100)lb
= (1 + 13/12)lb
= 25/12 lb
=> (l2 + b2)/lb = 25/12
12(l2 + b2) = 25lb
Adding 24lb on both sides
12l2 + 12b2 + 24lb = 49lb
12(l2 + b2 + 2lb) = 49lb
but 2(l + b) = 28 => l + b = 14
12(l + b)2 = 49lb
=> 12(14)2 = 49lb
=> lb = 48
Since l + b = 14, l = 8 and b = 6
l - b = 8 - 6 =2m.

Question: There are 9 baskets numbered from 1 to 9 and filled with apples. 10 children are asked to pick apples one by one from each basket such that the number of apples picked by each child from each basket is equal to the number marked on the basket. If there were 1000 apples in total and the baskets were filled in such a way that none of the basket became empty in the process, how many apples were left in the end?
Options:
A)440
B)550
C)660
D)770
E)880
Rationale: Each child takes a total of 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 9*10/2 = 45 apples.
The total number of apples taken by 10 children is 10*45 = 450
The number of apples left in the end is 1000 - 450 = 550 apples.
The answer is B.

Question: A man sells an article at a gain 15%. If he had bought it at 10% less and sold it for 5 less, he would have gained 25%. Find the cost price of the article.
Options:
A)150
B)160
C)170
D)180
E)200
Rationale: Let the C.P. be 100
First S.P. = 115
Second C.P. = 90
Second S.P = 125% of 90 = 112.50
Difference of two selling prices is 115 – 112.50 = 2.50 and C.P. of the article is 100
But actual difference is 5.
∴ C.P. = 100⁄2.50 × 5 = 200.

Question: A certain plant was 11 feet long on the day it was plantedthe length grows by a constant amount everyday(inc. the first day it was planted).
if this plant grew by 60% b/w the 4th day and 10 th day after it was planted ,how many feet per day does the plant grow
Options:
A)a) 2
B)b) 4.5
C)c) 1.83
D)d) 5.5
E)e) 3
Rationale: If the plant is 11 feet tall when it is planted, it will be 11 + k feet tall at the end of the day (where k is the constant length it grows by every day).
Similarly, at the end of the 4th day the plant must be 11 + 4k feet tall and at the end of the 10th day it must be 11 + 10k feet tall.
Therefore 6k = 0.6 (11 + 4k)
=> k = 1.83
Therefore the plant grows by 1.83 feet every day.
Option (C)
Answer: C
Question: The equation y = ax*b* + c produces the
following (x, y) coordinate pairs: (0, 2),
(1, 7), and (2, 42). What is the value of abc?
Options:
A)10
B)20
C)30
D)40
E)60
Rationale: To begin, plug x = 0 and y = 2 into the equation y = axb + c. Note that the first term
drops out:
2 = a(0)b + c
2 = c
Now you can substitute 2 for c in the original equation, giving you y = axb + 2. Next, plug in
x = 1 and y = 7. Notice that everything drops out except for the coefficient of the first term:
7 = a(1)b + 2
5 = a
You can now substitute 5 for a in the equation, giving you y = 5xb + 2. Now plug in x = 2
and y = 42:
42 = 5(2)b + 2
40 = 5(2)b
8 = 2b
23 = 2b
3 = b
Finally, you can see that abc = (5)(3)(2) = 30.
correct answer C)30
Answer: C
Question: What is the units digit of 18! + 4!?
Options:
A)0
B)1
C)2
D)3
E)4
Rationale: Check if there are trailing zeroes
4! /5 = Not divisible , hence there must be a numeric value of the units digit which is non zero
Calculate it 4! = 4*3*2*1 =>24
18! /5 is divisible m so it will have trailing zeroes
18! = Has units digit as 0
4! = Has units digit 4
So, Units digit of 18! + 4! will be 4

Question: In year Y imported machine tools accounted for 25 percent of total machine-tools sales in the United States, and Japanese imports accounted for 65 percent of the sales of imported machine tools. If the total sales of machine tools imported from Japan that year was x billion dollars, then the total sales of all machine tools in the United States was how many billion dollars?
Options:
A)9x/80
B)13x/20
C)80/9x
D)20x/13
E)80x/13
Rationale: Sales of imported tools = 25% of the total sales = 0.25*{total} = {total}/4;
Sales of Japanese tools = 65% of the sales of imported tools = 0.65*{total}/4 = 13/20*{total}/4 = 13*{total}/80.
Since the sales of of Japanese tools was x, then 13*{total}/80 = x --> {total} = 80x/13.
