Question: A wheel of a car of radius 21 cms is rotating at 700 RPM. What is the speed of the car in km/hr?
Options:
A)79.2 km/hr
B)55.44 km/hr
C)7.92 km/hr
D)39.6 km/hr
E)3.96 km/hr
Rationale: Explanatory Answer
The radius of the wheel measures 21 cm.
In one rotation, the wheel will cover a distance which is equal to the circumference of the wheel.
∴ in one rotation this wheel will cover 2 * π * 21 = 132 cm.
In a minute, the distance covered by the wheel = circumference of the wheel * rpm
∴ this wheel will cover a distance of 132 * 700 = 92400 cm in a minute.
In an hour, the wheel will cover a distance of 92400 * 60 = 5544000 cm.
Therefore, the speed of the car = 5544000 cm/hr = 55.44 km/hr

Question: A man saves a certain portion of his income during a year and spends the remaining portion on his personal expenses. Next year his income increases by 25% but his savings increase by 100%. If his total expenditure in 2 years is double his expenditure in 1st year, What %age of his income in the first year did he save?
Options:
A)20%
B)25%
C)28.5%
D)30%
E)32%
Rationale: 1st year Income= I
1st year savings= S
1st year Expense= E1
2nd year Income = 1.25I
2nd year savings= 2S (100% increase)
2nd Year expense= E2
E1+ E2= 2E1
E2=E1
That means Expenses are same during both years. With increase of 25% income the savings increased by 100%.
or S= .25I
or S= 25% of Income

Question: Two trains start at same time from two stations and proceed towards each other at the rate of 20 km/hr and 25 km/hr respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has traveled 65 km more than the other. What is the distance between the two stations?
Options:
A)585 km
B)767 km
C)276 km
D)178 km
E)176 km
Rationale: Explanation:
Let us assume that trains meet after 'x' hours
Distance = speed * Time
Distance traveled by two trains = 20x km and 25x km resp.
As one train travels 65 km more than the other,
25x â€“ 20x = 65
5x = 65
x = 13 hours
As the two trains are moving towards each other, relative speed = 20 + 25 = 45 km/hr
Therefore, total distance = 45*13 = 585 km.

Question: If below equations are true,
24 $ 6 = 64
35 $ 5 = 87
63 $ 7 = 99
Then based on similar logic what's the value of below equation
88 $ 8 = ?
Options:
A)(8+8 = 16) (88/8 = 11)
B)(8+8 = 16) (88/8 = 12)
C)(8+8 = 16) (88/8 = 13)
D)(8+8 = 16) (88/8 = 14)
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
The number on the right side is formed as (sum of digits of the 1st number)(number1/number2)
example,
24 $ 6 = 64 (2+4 = 6) (24/6 = 4)
35 $ 5 = 87 (3+5=8) (35/5 = 7)
63 $ 7 = 99 (6+3 =9) (63/7 =9)
Simillarly,
88 $ 8 = (8+8 = 16) (88/8 = 11)

Answer: A
Question: At a supermarket, John spent 1/4 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, 1/3 on meat products, and 1/6 on bakery products. If he spent the remaining $6 on candy, how much did John spend at the supermarket?
Options:
A) $24
B) $80
C) $90
D) $120
E) $180
Rationale: Let's let T = total number of dollars spent at the supermarket. With this variable we can set up an equation and determine T.
We are given that John spent 1/4 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, or (1/4)T, 1/3 on meat products, or (1/3)T, and 1/6on bakery products, or (1/6)T. We are also given that he spent the remaining $6 on candy. Since we know where all his money was allocated, we can sum these values together and set the sum to T. So we have:
(1/4)T + (1/3)T + (1/6)T + 6 = T
To get rid of the fractions we can multiply the entire equation by 12, and we obtain:
3T + 4T + 2T + 72 = 12T
9T + 72 = 12T
72 = 3T
T = 24
John spent $24 at the supermarket.

Options:
A)12 min
B)15 min
C)25 min
D)50 min
E)55 min
Rationale: Part filled by A in 1 min = 1/20
Part filled by B in 1 min = 1/30
Part filled by (A + B) in 1 min =(1/20 + 1/30) = 1/12
so Both pipes can fill the tank in 12 minutes.

Question: Two numbers are less than third number by 30% and 37% respectively. How much percent is the second number less than by the first
Options:
A)8%
B)10%
C)9%
D)11%
E)12%
Rationale: Let the third number is x.
then first number = (100-30)% of x
= 70% of x = 7x/10
Second number is (63x/100)
Difference = 7x/10 - 63x/100 = 7x/10
So required percentage is, difference is what percent of first number
(7x/100 * 10/7x * 100 )% = 10% ANSWER :B
Answer: B
