Question: Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs.750 per week by their employer. If X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week?
Options:
A)s.200.90
B)s.250.90
C)s.290.90
D)s.300.90
E)s.340.90
Rationale: Let the amount paid to X per week = x
and the amount paid to Y per week = y
Then x + y = 750
But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10
∴12y/10 + y = 750
⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 750
⇒ 22y/10 = 750
⇒ 22y = 7500
⇒ y = 7500/22 = Rs.340.90

Question: Ganesh spends 30% of his monthly salary on food, 5% of the remaining on personal use and saves 80% of the remaining amount. If his monthly salary is Rs.12,000, how much money does he save every month ?
Options:
A)Rs.3500
B)Rs.4200
C)Rs.2000
D)Rs.1245
E)Rs. 6384
Rationale: Explanation:
Ganesh's monthly income = Rs.12,000
He spends 30% on food.
The total money spent on food = 30/100 * 12000 = Rs. 3600
Now, his monthly remaining income = Rs.12000 – Rs.3600 = Rs. 8400
Out of Rs. 8400, he spends 5% for his personal use
The total money spent on his personal use = 5/100 * 8400 = Rs. 420
Now, his monthly remaining income = Rs.8400 – Rs.420 = Rs. 7980
Out of Rs. 7980, he saves 80%.
Amount saved = 80/100 * 7980 = Rs. 6384

Answer: D
Question: How many terminating zeroes does 200! have?
Options:
A)40
B)48
C)49
D)55
E)64
Rationale: we must realize that the trailing zeros depend on the number of 10s (i.e. 10s or its multiples) in the factorial. 10=5*2, so we are looking for 5s and 2s. By virtue of being the more frequent number, we don't need to count the number of 2s, because there will always be equal or more 2s than 5s in a factorial. So, essentially we are looking for 5s and its exponents.
Start with finding 5s. 200/5= 40. So we have 40 fives (and 40 twos) which means we'll have 40 zeros. If the answer was a decimal, such as 201/5, round down.
Now look for two 5s, that is 25. So, 200/25= 8, so we have eight more zeros.
Lastly, 5^3= 125, and we have one such number in 200!, which gives us one more trailing zero. Therefore, we have 40+8+1=49 trailing zeros.

Options:
A)360
B)380
C)400
D)416
E)412
Rationale: Mr. John used to purchase certain number of mangoes for $360 Since the price of mangoes is reduced by 10% he got 12 more mangoes today. Find the original price of 120 mangoes.
Method 1:
Let price per mango = x. Let number of mangoes be n. Then, nx = 360.
Now price = 0.9x; number of mangoes = n + 12. Total amount = 0.9x*(n+12) = 360.
nx = 0.9nx + 10.8x => 0.1nx = 10.8x => n = 108 => x = 360/108 = 3.33
Original price of 125 mangoes = 125*3.33 = 416.

Question: How many of the following numbers are divisible by 132?
264, 396, 462, 792, 968, 2178, 5184, 6336,528,1320,660,1056
Options:
A)4
B)5
C)6
D)7
E)8
Rationale: Explanation:
A number is divisible by 132, if it is divisible by each one of 11, 3 and 4.
Clearly, 968 is not divisible by 3. None of 462 and 2178 is divisible by 4.
Also, 5184 is not divisible by 11.
Each one of remaining 8 is divisible by each one of 11, 3 and 4 and therefore, by 132.

Question: The batting average for 40 innings of a cricket player is 50 runs. His highest score exceeds his lowest score by 172 runs. If these two innings are excluded, the average of the remaining 38 innings is 48 runs. Find out the highest score of the player.
Options:
A)150
B)174
C)180
D)166
E)165
Rationale: Explanation:
Total runs scored by the player in 40 innings = 40 × 50
Total runs scored by the player in 38 innings after excluding two innings = 38 × 48
Sum of the scores of the excluded innings = 40 × 50 - 38 × 48 = 2000 - 1824 = 176
Given that the scores of the excluded innings differ by 172. Hence let's take
the highest score as x + 172 and lowest score as x
Now x + 172 + x = 176
=> 2x = 4
=> x =4/2= 2
Highest score = x + 172 = 2 + 172 = 174

Options:
A)36
B)26
C)72
D)29
E)22
Rationale: Sum of the 10 numbers = 230
If each number is increased by 3, the total increase =
3 * 10 = 40
The new sum = 230 + 30 = 260 The new average = 260/10
= 26.

Question: If h is a positive integer, and if the units' digit of h^2 is 4 and the units' digit of (h + 1)^2 is 1, what is the units' digit of (h + 2)^2 ?
Options:
A)	0
B)	2
C)	4
D)	6
E)	8
Rationale: A for me.
_1² = _1
_2² = _4
_3² = _9
_4² = _6
_5² = _5
_6² = _6
_7² = _9
_8² = _4
_9² = _1
_0² = _0
On the list, the only number that squared has the units digit = 4 preceding a number that squared has the units digit = 1 is the _8.
So, h = _8, that has square 4. The next square is 1 andnext nextsquare is 0.

Options:
A)1
B)2
C)3
D)4
E)5
Rationale: if k = 5, then n = 5j + 5 = 5(j+1)
=> n is a multiple of 5, which contradicts what is stated in the question
Also, examples for other choices :
101 - 5* 20 = 1
103 - 5*20 = 3
107 - 5 * 21 = 2
109 - 5 * 21 = 4
E is the correct answer

Options:
A)30
B)23
C)24
D)26
E)22
Rationale: Explanation:
Let the number of hens be x and the number of cows be y.
Then, x + y = 48 .... (i)
and 2x + 4y = 140 x + 2y = 70 .... (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 26, y = 22.
The required answer = 22.
