Question: A water tank is one-fourth full. Pipe A can fill a tank in 10 minutes and pipe B can empty it in 8 minutes. If both the pipes are open, how long will it take to empty or fill the tank completely?
Options:
A)4 min. to empty
B)6 min. to full
C)10 min. to empty
D)9 min. to full
E)8 min. to full
Rationale: Clearly, pipe B is faster than pipe A and so, the tank will be emptied.
Part to be emptied = 1/4
Part emptied by (A + B) in 1 minute = (1/8 - 1/10) = 1/40
1/40 : 1/4 :: 1 : x
x = (1/4 * 1 * 40) = 10 min.
So, the tank will be emptied in 10 min.

Question: The expression x#y denotes the product of the consecutive multiples of 3 between x and y, inclusive. What is the sum of the exponents in the prime factorization of 21#30?
Options:
A)10
B)11
C)12
D)13
E)14
Rationale: First, let's translate the expression 21#30, using the definition given:
21#30 = 21×24×27×30
We need the prime factorization of this product.
Let's factor out 3 from each multiple.
21#30 = 3^4(7×8×9×10)
Now let's replace each consecutive integer with its prime factorization:
21#30 = 3^4(7×2^3×3^2×(2×5))
Let's group the prime bases:
21#30 = 2^4×3^6×5×7
The sum of the exponents is 4 + 6 + 1 + 1 = 12
The answer is C.

Options:
A).8
B)9
C)6
D)5
E)2
Rationale: Explanation:
Let the numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8.
Then, [x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8)] / 5 = 51
5x + 20 = 255
x = 47
So, required difference = (47 + 8) – 47 = 8

Question: Company A's workforce consists of 10 percent managers and 90 percent software engineers. Company B's workforce consists of 30 percent managers, 10 percent software engineers, and 60 percent support staff. The two companies merge, every employee stays with the resulting company, and no new employees are added. If the resulting companyís workforce consists of 25 percent managers, what percent of the workforce originated from Company A?
Options:
A)10%
B)20%
C)25%
D)50%
E)75%
Rationale: Let say Company A has x employes and B has y employees. Now they merge and total no of employees = x+y employees.
Per the question Company A's workforce consists of 10 percent managers and 90 percent software engineers. Company B's workforce consists of 30 percent managers, 10 percent software engineers, and 60 percent support staff. We translate it into equation as follows:
.1x + .3y = .25 (x+y)
=> x + 3y =2.5 (x+y)
=> .5y = 1.5x
=> y=3x.
Now we know total employee = x+y. we need to find %age of x in total (x+y) ie x/(x+y) X100%
=> x/(3x+x) [substitute y=3x] => x/4x X 100%
=> .25 X 100 % => 25%.

Question: A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 2 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is?
Options:
A)36
B)50
C)28
D)47
E)29
Rationale: Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec. [(25/2) * (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 2) km/hr. x - 2 = 45 ==> x = 47 km/hr

What is the 100th digit of d to the right of decimal point ?
Options:
A)0
B)1
C)5
D)8
E)9
Rationale: Now, let's see first we have those single digit numbers that occupy 9 spaces
Then the next integers from 10 to 19 will be 10 of them that will occupy 2 places each hence 20
The next ones will be from 20 to 29, 10 of them again, 2 places each hence 20 and so on
...
Until we get to 50-59 which will be 10 integers again, 2 places each hence 20 digits.
Now the 100th digit will be in the 50-59 range taking into consideration the first 9 single digit integers.
We also know that the tenth digits is always in an even place while the units digit is in the odd place. Therefore, the 100th digit will be the tenth digit of the given range (50-59) thus 5

Question: Machine A can do a certain job in 8 hours. Machine B can do the same job in 10 hours. Machine C can do the same job in 12 hours. All three machines start the job at 9:00 a.m. Machine A breaks down at 11:00 a.m., and the other two machines finish the job. Approximately what time T will the job be finished?
Options:
A)Noon
B)12:30 p.m.
C)1:00 p.m.
D)1:30 p.m.
E)2:00 p.m.
Rationale: Ans: C (1:00pm)
From 9:00-11:00c(2 hrs)
A can do 1/8 Job/hr. so in 2 hours he can do 1/4 job.
B can do 1/10 job/hr so in 2 hrs. he can do 1/5 Job.
C can do 1/12 job/hr so in 2 hours he can do 1/6 job.
Total = 1/4+1/5+1/6 = 37/60 Job
Now balance work needs to be done by B and C.
Balance Work= 23/60 Job
Combined rate of B and C = 1/10+1/12 = 11/60 job/hr.
So they will do 22/60 work in 2 hrs (approx. to the balance work of 23/60)
Hence the Job will be completed 2hrs. after 11:00 i.e. @ 1:00pm=T
Ans: C (1:00pm)

Question: Two cars P and Q start at the same time from A and B which are 120 km apart. If the two cars travel in opposite directions, they meet after one hour and if they travel in same direction (from A towards B), then P meets Q after 6 hours. What is the speed of car P?
Options:
A)22 km/hr
B)70 km/hr
C)77 km/hr
D)66 km/hr
E)44 km/hr
Rationale: Let their speed be x km/hr and y km/he respectively.
Then, 120/(x + y) = 1 => x + y = 120 --- (i)
Now, when they move in same direction:
(Distance traveled by P in 6 hrs) - (Distance traveled by Q in 6 hrs) = 120 km
6x - 6y = 120 => x - y = 20 --- (ii)
Sloving (i) and (ii), we get x = 70, y = 50
P's speed = 70 km/hr.

Options:
A)105
B)108
C)110
D)113
E)115
Rationale: To solve:
Average tips for Sarah, Fatima and Sarah = $100
Total tips = 3*100 = 300
Average tips for Fatima, Salma, and Lina = $90
Total tips = 3*90 = 270
Lina's tips = $85

Question: If the productivity of a brigade grows by 40% when the number of the workers in the brigade is increased by one, then which of the following is closest to the ratio of the productivity of a 12-person brigade to that of a 10-person brigade?
Options:
A)1.51
B)0.82
C)1.2
D)1.21
E)1.44
Rationale: B = 10-men brigade
p = increase in the productivity = 40%
Solution: B x p = B x 1.4 = 1.4B -------> the productivity of 11 men brigade
1.4B x p = 1.4B x 1.1 = 1.51B -----> the productivity of 12 men brigade
The ratio of the productivity of a 12-men brigade to that of a 10-men brigade = 1.51B/B = 1.51

Question: The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 9 km/hr completes one round in 5 min, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is?
Options:
A)337500 m
B)300000 m
C)153600 m
D)33750 m
E)9000 m
Rationale: Perimeter = Distance covered in 5 min. = (9000 x 5)/60 m = 750 m.
Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.
Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 750 or x = 75.
Length = 225 m and Breadth = 150 m.
Area = (225 x 150) m2 = 33750 m

Bag A:
R:W:B = 2:6:9
Bag B
R:W = 1:4
6X + 4Y = 22 i.e 3X + 2Y = 11
X has to be odd to make an odd sum from the eq.
X = 1 , Y = 4 OR X = 3, Y = 1
So R can be 2X i.e 2 or 6.

Rationale: 2/10 (20%) of the members are women and 2/8 of the members are married men. Let the total numbers of members is 80 (the LCM of 10 and 8). Then there are:
2/10*80 = 16 women;
80 - 16= 64 men;
2/8*64 = 16 married men;
64 - 16 = 48 unmarried men.
So, only option III is true.
