Question: In a graduating class of 238 students, 144 took geometry and 119 took biology. What is the difference between the greatest possible number and the smallest possible number of students that could have taken both geometry and biology?
Options:
A)144
B)119
C)113
D)88
E)31
Rationale: Greatest Possible Number taken both should be 144 (As it is maximum for One)
Smallest Possible Number taken both should be given by
Total - Neither = A + B - Both
Both = A+B+Neither - Total (Neither must be 0 to minimize the both)
So 144 + 119 + 0 - 238 = 25
Greatest - Smallest is 144-25 = 119
So answer must be B. 119

Answer: C
Question: Line E has the equation 3x + y = 7. Which of the following lines is perpendicular to Line E?
Options:
A) y = 3x + 4
B) y = –3x – 6
C) y = (1/3)x – 1
D) y = (–1/3)x + 2
E) y = (–7/3)x – 5
Rationale: I first rewrote the equation in the standard y=mx+b form. Therefore, Line E as presented, 3x + y = 7, can be rewritten as follows: y=-3x+7.
Thought process next is what line would be perpendicular to Line E? Any line with a reciprocal of the slope but in the opposite direction. The reciprocal of any fraction/integer is 1 over that number/integer. Therefore the reciprocal of -3 is -1/3 - need to drop the negative sign because the line would kinda run parallel and we want perpendicular. Scan the answers choices and notice C as the only one.

Options:
A)1 : 1
B)2 : 3
C)5 : 2
D)4 : 3
E)7 : 9
Rationale: Mixture A has a total of 5 + 3 = 8 parts. If in the final mixture this represents 4 parts, then the total number of parts in mixture B should be (8/4)*3 = 6.
So, we should take of mixture B a quantity with 3 and 3 parts, respectively.
This will give us in the final mixture (5 + 3) : (3 + 3), which means 4:3

Question: Ramesh purchased a refrigerator for Rs. 17500 after getting a discount of 20% on the labelled price. He spent Rs. 125 on transport and Rs. 250 on installation. At what price should it be sold so that the profit earned would be 10% if no discount was offered?
Options:
A)34778
B)26888
C)24475
D)17600
E)12778
Rationale: Price at which the TV set is bought = Rs. 17,500
Discount offered = 20%
Marked Price = 17500 * 100/80 = Rs. 21875
The total amount spent on transport and installation = 125 + 250 = Rs. 375\Total price of TV set = 21875 + 375 = Rs. 22250
The price at which the TV should be sold to get a profit of 10% if no discount was offered = 22250 * 110/100
= Rs. 24475

Question: The area of a rectangle is 15 square centimeters and the perimeter is 16 square centimeters. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
Options:
A)2&4
B)3&5
C)4&6
D)5&7
E)6&8
Rationale: Let x and y be the length and width of the rectangle. Using the formulas for the area and the perimeter, we can write two equations.
15 = x y and 16 = 2 x + 2 y
Solve the second equation for x
x = 8 - y
Substitute x in the equation 15 = x y by 8 - y to rewrite the equation as
15 = (8 - y) y
Solve for y to find
y = 3 and y = 5
Use x = 8 - y to find x
when y = 3 , x = 5 and when y = 5 , x = 3.
The dimensions of the rectangle are 3 and 5.

Question: In Goshawk-Eurasian nature reserve 30 percent of the birds are Hawks, and 40 percent of the non-Hawks are Paddyfield-Warblers. If there are 25 percent as many Kingfishers as Paddyfield-Warblers in the reserve, then what percent of the birds W in the nature reserve are not Hawks, Paddyfield-Warblers, or Kingfishers?
Options:
A)25%
B)35%
C)45%
D)70%
E)80%
Rationale: 1. We are given the following percentages: 30 (70), 40 (60), 25 (75). There are two threads from here. First starts at 30% and finishes there. Second one starts at 70, then 40, and then 25. We need a value that is divisible by 7, 2, and 5 at least once. lets pick a number now, say 700. So say if Non Hawks are 700 (this is 70% of the total, so total = 1000), then Paddy Warbs are 2/5 x 700 = 1400/5 = 280. Kingfishers, therefore, are 280/4 = 70. Lets add them up. 300 hawks + 280 Peddy Warbs + 70 kingsifhers = 650. So all others are 1000 - 650= 350 or 35% of total birds.
The main job here to to identify the smart number to start the question with. This can be time consuming, but once identified, this question can be solved fairly quickly.
2. Another method: If X is total --> Non Hawks = 0.7X --> Warbs = 0.4(0.7X) --> KFs = 0.25(0.4(0.7X)).
Our job is to find out W: (0.3X + 0.28X + 0.07X)/ X. OR 0.65X/X = 0.65. We need to find 1-0.65 = 0.35 or 35%.B
Answer: B
Question: A man rows his boat 70 km downstream and 45 km upstream, taking 2 1/2 hours each time. Find the speed of the stream?
Options:
A)1 kmph

D)8 kmph
E)7 kmph
Rationale: Speed downstream = d/t = 75/(2 1/2) = 28 kmph
Speed upstream = d/t = 45/(2 1/2) = 18 kmph
The speed of the stream = (28 - 18)/2 = 5 kmph

Question: The price of a mobile was increased by 40 percent. The new price was then decreased by 15 percent. A single increase of what percent is equivalent to these two successive changes?
Options:
A)25%
B)19%
C)30%
D)22.5%
E)15%
Rationale: consider base price - $100
25% increase = 1.40*100 = $140
Then a 15% decrease on new price = 0.85* 140 = $119
so final price of radio - $119
therefore a 19% increase

Question: Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 550 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)A)Rs.200
B)B)Rs.220
C)C)Rs.250
D)D)Rs.300
E)E)Rs.350
Rationale: Let the amount paid to X per week = x
and the amount paid to Y per week = y
Then x + y = 550
But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10
∴12y/10 + y = 550
⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 550
⇒ 22y/10 = 550
⇒ 22y = 5500
⇒ y = 5500/22 = 500/2 = Rs.250

Question: When the positive integer y is divided by 11, the quotient is z and the remainder 3. When y is divided by 19, the remainder is also 3. What is the remainder when z is divided by 19?
Options:
A)4
B)3
C)2
D)1
E)0
Rationale: Any Number which when divided by divisor d1,d2, etc. leaving same remainderrtakes the form ofK+r
where k = LCM (d1,d2)
In this case the divisors are 1119 and remainder is 3.
so LCM (11,19) = 209
So N= 209+3 = 212
Also y=d1q+3 ; which means d1q=209d1=11 therefore q=19
And ( z divided by 19)19/19 leaves remainder 0.

Question: Divide Rs. 2379 into 3 parts so that their amounts after 2, 3 and 4 years respectively may be equal, the rate of interest being 5% per annum at simple interest. The first part is?
Options:
A)388
B)3769
C)8782
D)828
E)271
Rationale: Let the parts be x, y and [2379 - (x + y)]
x + (x * 2 * 5/100) = y + (y * 3 * 5/100) = z + (z * 4 * 5/100)
11x/10 = 23y/20 = 6z/5 = k
x = 10k/11, y = 20k/23, z = 5k/6
But x + y + z = 2379
10k/11 + 20k/23 + 5k/6 = 2379
k = (2379 * 11 * 23 * 6)/3965 = (3 * 11 * 23 * 6)/5
x = [10/11 * (3 * 11 * 23 * 6)/5] = 828
Hence, the first part is Rs. 828.

Question: What is the 149th digit to the right of the decimal point in the decimal form of 30/33?
Options:
A)5
B)6
C)9
D)0
E)1
Rationale: To solve ,we first have to use some long division.Long division allows us to get 30/33 in decimal form, which is 0.909090… where “90” is repeating.
We see that the 1st, 3rd, 5th digit to the right of the decimal point is a 9 and that the 2nd, 4th, 6th digit to the right of the decimal point is a 0. In other words, each odd-positioned digit is a 9, and each even-positioned digit is a 0.
Then the 149th digit to the right of the decimal point and we see that 149 is odd, then 149th digit is a 9.

Question: The weight of a hollow sphere is directly dependent on its surface area. The surface area of a sphere is 4π·R^2, where R is the radius of the sphere. If a hollow sphere of radius 0.15 cm made of a certain metal weighs 8 grams, a hollow sphere of radius 0.3 cm made of the same metal would weigh how many Q grams?
Options:
A)Q= 16
B)Q=32
C)64
D)128
E)512
Rationale: Weight directly proportional to 4 pi r^2
Now, 4pi is constant, so, weight is directly proportional to r^2.
When radius = 0.15, weight = 8, so (0.15) ^ 2 proportional to 8;
(0.15)^2 * 4 proportional to 8*4, solving further
(0.15)^2 * 2 ^2 = (0.15*2)^2 = 0.3 ^ 2; so answer = 32 (B)

Question: The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the smaller, is 15. The sum of the numbers is:
Options:
A)380
B)395
C)400
D)425
E)Either (a) or (b)
Rationale: Let the numbers be x and y.
Then, xy = 9375 and	x	= 15.
y
xy	=	9375
(x/y)	15
y2 = 625.
y = 25.
x = 15y = (15 x 25) = 375.
Sum of the numbers = x + y = 375 + 25 = 400.

Question: Set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, y}
Which of the following possible values for y would cause Set A to have the smallest standard deviation?
Options:
A)1
B)2.5
C)3
D)3.5
E)7
Rationale: SD is minimum or least when the number is closest to the mean of the existing numbers
Calculating mean of the rest of the numbers gives mean = (approx)3.6
So the new number should be near to the mean and only number closest to the mean is 3.5

Question: 35% of the employees of a company are men. 60% of the men in the company speak French and 40% of the employees of the company speak French. What is % of the women in the company who do not speak French?
Options:
A)4%
B)10%
C)96%
D)90.12%
E)70.77%
Rationale: No of employees=100(say)
Men=35
Women=65
Men speaking french=0.6*35=21
Employees speaking french=0.4*100=40
Therefore women speaking French=40-21=19
And women not speaking French=65-19=46
% of women speaking French=46/65*100=70.77%

Options:
A)257
B)287
C)290
D)400
E)480
Rationale: Total ways of arranging 7 person in a circle = 6! = 720 ways
If we consider two women as one, then we have 5+1=6 persons. Arranging these six persons in circle will take = 5! = 120 ways
And two women can arrange themselves in 2! ways
Total ways in which two women sit together in circle = 5!*2! = 240 ways
Total ways in which two women doesn’t sit together in circle = 6! - 5!*2! = 720 - 240 = 480 ways
