Question: Train A and Train B began traveling towards each other from opposite ends of a 500-mile long track at 1:00 PM. If Train A traveled at 35 miles per hour and Train B traveled at 15 miles per hour, at what time did the trains meet?
Options:
A)5:40 PM
B)6:00 PM
C)7:20 PM
D)11:00 PM
E)9:20 PM
Rationale: This question tests your concepts of relative speed:
If two trains are moving in opposite direction, then distance will reduce at a rate of (Speed of 1 + Speed of 2)
If two trains are moving in same direction, then distance will reduce at a rate of (Speed of 1 - Speed of 2)
Here the trains are moving towards each other, hence in opposite direction.
Trains will cover the 500 mile track in a time of 500/(15 + 35) = 500/50 = 10 hours
Trains started at 1:00 PM, there they will meet at 11:00 PM

Question: Stephanie, Regine, and Brian ran a 20 mile race. Stephanie and Regine's combined times exceeded Brian's time by exactly 2 hours. If nobody ran faster than 8 miles per hour, who could have won the race?
I. Stephanie, Brian
II. Regine
III.Stephanie
Options:
A)I only
B)II only
C)III only
D)I or II only
E)II, or III only
Rationale: Given that S+R=B+2, where S, R, and B are times in which Stephanie, Regine, and Brian completed the race.
Min time one could complete the race is 20/8=2.5 hours. Let's see if Brian could have won the race: if he ran at the fastest rate, he would complete the race in 2.5 hours, so combined time needed for Stephanie and Regine would be S+R=B+2=4.5 hours, which is not possible as sum of two must be more than or equal the twice the least time: 2*2.5=5. So Brian could not have won the race.
There is no reason to distinguish Stephanie and Regine so if one could have won the race, another also could. So both could have won the race.

Gretzky Street is intersected every 350 meters by a perpendicular street, and each of those streets other than Orr Street and Howe Street is given a number beginning at 1st Street (one block east of Orr Street) and continuing consecutively (2nd Street, 3rd Street, etc...) until the highest-numbered street one block west of Howe Street. What is the highest-numbered street that intersects Gretzky Street?
Options:
A)12th
B)13th
C)14th
D)15th
E)16th
Rationale: 5.6 km / 350 m = 16.

Question: If -3 < x < 0, which of the following must be true?
I. x^5 < x^2
II. x^5 < 2 – x
III. x^4 < x^2
Options:
A)I only
B)I and II only
C)II and III only
D)I and III only
E)I, II and III
Rationale: I. x^5 < x^2 --> since x is always negative x^5 is always negative and x^2 is always positive therefore x^5 < x^2, so this statement is true.
II. x^5 < 2 – x --> x(x^4+1) < 2 --> negative*positive < 0 < 2, so this statement is also true.
III. x^4 < x^2 --> reduce by x^2 (we can safely do that since from -3 < x < 0 is follows that x^2>0): x^2 < 1. Since -3 < x < 0, then x^2 can be greater than 1. Hence, this statement is false.

Question: If M and N are positive integers that have remainders of 1 and 3, respectively, when divided by 9, which of the following could NOT be a possible value of M+N?
Options:
A)86
B)58
C)31
D)22
E)13
Rationale: M=9p+1
N=9q+3
We need M+N=9p+1+9q+3=9(p+q)+4
Pick numbers for pq
Since it is an addition of pq and the answer to this expression should be an integer (because all the numbers being added are integers),
we just need to choose values so that we get integer multiples of 6 so
p+q=0 ; M+n = 4
p+q=1 ; M+N = 13
P+q=2 ; M+N = 22
and so on, so basically you get something like - 4,13,22,31,40,..... all the other options were turning up.
Then I directly tried p+q=9 because it was closer to 86 for the first option, i got 85,
So Answer A.

Question: Two stations P and Q are 110 km apart on a straight track. One train starts from P at 7 a.m. and travels towards Q at 20 kmph. Another train starts from Q at 8 a.m. and travels towards P at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?
Options:
A)22
B)10
C)39
D)88
E)27
Rationale: Explanation:
Assume both trains meet after x hours after 7 am
Distance covered by train starting from P in x hours = 20x km
Distance covered by train starting from Q in (x-1) hours = 25(x-1)
Total distance = 110
=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 110
=> 45x = 135
=> x= 3
Means, they meet after 3 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 10 am

Question: What is the remainder when 1990990900032 is divided by 32 ?
Options:
A)16
B)8
C)4
D)2
E)0
Rationale: For powers of 2 - A number ending in as many 0s as the exponent of 2 will be divisible by that power of 2.
e.g. 2^4 = 16
A number N ending in four 0s will be divisible by 16.
e.g. 2^5 = 32
A number N ending in five 0s will be divisible by 32.
and so on...
1990990900032 = 1990990900000 + 32
1990990900000 ends in five 0s so will be divisible by 32.
32 is divisible by 32.
So 1990990900032 will be divisible by 32. Remainder will be 0.

hence values of a,b and c are 1, 4 and 12 respectively..
a+b+c=17
ANSWER:C
Answer: C
Question: If x : y = 1 : 2, find the value of (2x + 3y) : (x + 4y)
Options:
A)5 : 6
B)7 : 8
C)8 : 9
D)9 : 10
E)11 : 12
Rationale: x : y = 1 : 2 means x/y = 1/2
Now, (2x + 3y) : (x + 4y) = (2x + 3y)/(x + 4y) [Divide numerator and denominator by y.]
= [(2x + 3y)/y]/[(x + 4y)/2] = [2(x/y) + 3]/[(x/y) + 4], put x/y = 1/2
We get = [2 (1/2) + 3)/(1/2 + 4) = (1 + 3)/[(1 + 8)/2] = 4/(9/2) = 4/1 × 2/9 = 8/9
Therefore the value of (2x + 3y) : (x + 4y) = 8 : 9
Answer is C

Question: closed cylindrical tank contains 36pi cubic feet of water and its filled to half its capacity. When the tank is placed upright on its circular base
on level ground, the height of water in the tank is 4 feet. When the tank is placed on its side on level ground, w hat is the height, in feet, of the
surface of the water above the ground?
Options:
A)1 ft
B)2 ft
C)3 ft
D)4 ft
E)5 ft
Rationale: We know that the volume of cylinder = πr^2h
Given tank height = 4ft.
⇒ π r^2 4 = 36π
⇒ r = 3
So the radius is 3 which means the diameter is 6.
As the cylinder is filled to initially exactly half of the capacity, When this cylinder is placed on its side, Water comes up to the height of the radius.
So water comes up to 3 ft

Question: A 300 m long train crosses a platform in 51 sec while it crosses a signal pole in 18 sec. What is the length of the platform?
Options:
A)287
B)350
C)828
D)277
E)550
Rationale: Speed = 300/18 = 50/3 m/sec.
Let the length of the platform be x meters.
Then, (x + 300)/5A = 50/3
3x + 900 = 2550 => x = 550 m.

Answer: B
Question: By weight, liquid X makes up 0.8 percent of solution A and 1.8 percent of solution B. If 250 grams of solution A are mixed with 700 grams of solution B, then liquid X accounts for what percent of the weight of the resulting solution?
Options:
A)1.46%
B)1.93%
C)10%
D)15%
E)19%
Rationale: I think there is a typo in question.
It should have been "By weight Liquid 'X ' makes up..... "
Weight of Liquid X = 0.8 % of Weight of A + 1.8% of Weight of B
When 250gms of A and 700gms of B is mixed :
Weight of Liquid X = (0.8 * 250)/100 + (1.8* 700)/100 = 14.6gms
% of Liquid X in resultant mixture = (14.6/1000) *100 = 1.46%
