Question: How many 4-digit Y numbers (ABCD) can be formed such that |A – D| = 2?
Options:
A)2,000
B)1,900
C)1,800
D)1,600
E)1,500
Rationale: 1) A=0 and D-8
2) A and D as 1 and 9..so 3*100= 300 extra ways ans 1800-300 = 1500.
we are looking for |A-D|=2 so any of the two can be bigger..
these two can have values (1,3) ; (2,4) so on till (7,9) so total 7*2 = 14..
another arrangement could be A as 2 and D as 0... D as 2 and A as 0 is not possible as number will become 3 digits..
so the ways A and D can be placed = 14+1=15 ways..
B and C can be placed in 10*10 ways..
Total Y= 15*10*10=1500.E

Question: The radius and height of a right circular cone are in the ratio 3 : 4. If its volume is 96∏ cm³, what is its slant height?
Options:
A)8 cm
B)10 cm
C)12 cm
D)14 cm
E)None
Rationale: Sol.
Let the radius and the height of the cone be 3x and 4x respectively. Then,
1/3 * ∏ * (3x)² * 4x = 96∏ ⇔ 36x³
= (96 * 3) ⇔ x³ = [96 * 3 / 36] = 8 ⇔ x = 2
&ther4; Radius = 6 cm, Height = 8 cm.
Slant height = √6² + 8 ² cm = √100 cm = 10 cm.

Options:
A)359m
B)3320m
C)350m
D)3598m
E)310m
Rationale: Speed = [300 / 18] m/sec = 50/3 m/sec.
Let the length of the platform be x meters.
Then, x + 300 / 39 = 50/3
3(x + 300) = 1950 è x = 350m.

Question: The temperature of a certain cup of coffee 15 minutes after it was poured was 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature F of the coffee t minutes after it was poured can be determined by the formula F = 120*2^(-at) + 60, where F is in degrees Fahrenheit and a is a constant. Then the temperature of the coffee 30 minutes after it was poured was how many degrees Fahrenheit?
Options:
A)65
B)75
C)80
D)85
E)90
Rationale: First, we have to find a.
We know that after t=15 minutes the temperature F=120 degrees.
Hence:
120 = 120*(2^-15a)+60
60 = 120*(2^-15a)
60/120 = 2^-15a
1/2 = 2^-15a
2^-1 = 2^-15a
-1 = -15a
1/15 = a
Now we need to find F after t=30 minutes:
F = 120*(2^-1/15*30)+60
F = 120* (2^-2) +60
F = 120* (1/2^2) +60
F = 120*1/4 +60
F = 30+60 = 90

Question: A certain series is defined by the following recursive rule: Sb=K(Sb-1) , where k is a constant. If the 1st term of this series is 64 and the 25th term is 192, what is the 9th term?
Options:
A)ROOT 2
B)ROOT 3
C)64*ROOT 3
D)64*3^1/3
E)64*3^24
Rationale: Ans...D
No need for any GP formula here
The rule is that bth term is K times the (b-1)th term.
1st = 64
2nd = k.64
3rd = k^2.64
.
.
.
9th term = k^8 *64
.
.
.
so 25th = k^24*64
Using this solve for k and substitute k in the equation for the 9th term

E)198/270
Rationale: In how many ways we can select a girl and a boy from 45 lady and 60 gentlemen? In 45*60 = 2,700 ways.
We have a total of 17 couples so, the probability of selecting a couple is 17/2,700 = 17/2700.
Probability of there will not be a couple = 1 - (17/2700)
= 2683 / 2700

Question: A 270 m long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds.What is the length of the other train?
Options:
A)230 m
B)240 m
C)260 m
D)320 m
E)350 m
Rationale: speed of first train= (120 * 5/18)m/sec

speed of other Train= (80 * 5/18)m/sec
= 200/9 m/sec
time to cross each other= 9 sec
Let x be the length of 2nd train
therefore 9 = (270+ x)/(100/3 +200/9)
500 = 270 + x
230m = x

If the ratio of the three angles is 1:3:8, then the measures of these angles can be written as x, 3x and 8x. Also the sum of the three interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. Hence
x + 3x + 8x = 180
Solve for x
12x = 180
x = 15
The measures of the three angles are
x = 15°
3x = 3 × 15 = 45°
8x = 8 × 15 = 120°

Question: A dealer offers a cash discount of 10% and still makes a profit of 35% when he further allows 20 articles to be sold at the cost price of 15 articles to a particular sticky bargainer. How much percent above the cost price were his articles listed?
Options:
A)80%
B)100%
C)120%
D)60%
E)90%
Rationale: Given
Cash Discount - 10%
Profit - 35%
Items Sold - 20
Price Sold at = List Price of 15
Assume List price = $20
Total Invoice = $300
-10% Cash Discount = $270
Let cost price of 20 items be x
So total cost = 20*x
Given the shopkeeper had a profit of 20%
20 * x * 135/100 = 270
or x = $10
Which means his products were listed at $20 which is a 100% markup over $10

Question: David used part of $100,000 to purchase a house. Of the remaining portion, he invested 1/3 of it at 4 percent simple annual interest and 2/3 of it at 6 percent simple annual interest. If after a year the income from the two investments totaled $320, what was the purchase price of the house?
Options:
A)$96,000
B)$94,000
C)$88,000
D)$75,000
E)$40,000
Rationale: Of all the answer choices, (A) and (D) do not offer a number divisible by 3. (E) can be eliminated easily because when you invest 1/3 of $60,000 ($20,000) @ 4% interest rate, you earn $800 interest, which is definitely more than $320. But, if you calculate 2/3 of $60,000 ($40,000) @ 6% interest rate, you earn $2400 interest. Total interest when $60,000 is the remaining amount: $800 + $2400 = $3200. We need $320. It means the remaining amount should be $6000. Therefore, (B) is the answer.

Question: A dealer offers a cash discount of 16% and still makes a profit of 25% when he further allows 60 articles to be sold at the cost price of 50 articles to a particular sticky bargainer. How much percent above the cost price were his articles listed?
Options:
A)50%
B)60%
C)70%
D)75%
E)78+(4/7)%
Rationale: Given
Cash Discount - 16%
Profit - 25%
Items Sold - 60
Price Sold at = List Price of 50
Assume List price = $10
Total Invoice = $500
-16% Cash Discount = $420
Let cost price of 60 items be x
So total cost = 60*x
Given the shopkeeper had a profit of 25%
60 * x * 125/100 = 420
or x = $7*4/5=$28/5
Which means his products were listed at $10 which is a 78+(4/7)% markup over $28/5

Question: In the first 1000 natural numbers, how many integers exist such that they leave a remainder 4 when divided by 7, and a remainder 9 when divided by 11?
Options:
A)11
B)14
C)12
D)13
E)10
Rationale: Explanatory Answer
Step 1: Find the first number common to both the sequences.
The first sequence: Numbers leaving a remainder of 4 when divided by 7: 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53, 60, 67, ....
The second sequence: Numbers leaving a remainder of 9 when divided by 11: 9, 20, 31, 42, 53, 64, .....
From the listing of the two sequences we can identify the first number that is a part of the both the sequences is 53.
Step 2: Compute common difference of terms common to both sequences and find number of terms.
The common difference of the first sequence is 7 and that of the second sequence is 11.
Elements common to both the sequences will have a common difference that is the LCM of 7 and 11.
77 is the LCM of 7 and 11.
Every 77th number after 53 will satisfy both the conditions.
The terms that are common to both the arithmetic sequences can be expressed as 77k + 53.
Because we are interested in the first 1000 natural numbers, k will take values from 0 to 12.
i.e., a total of 13 values.
Choice D is the correct answer.

Question: tom and Bonnie are opposing participants in an online auction. Each has a constant bidding strategy: tom always bids up by raising $40 over any previous bid. Bonnie always bids up by doubling any previous bid. The auction begins with an initial bid by a third player, and progresses as follows: tom bids up first, and Bonnie follows. tom bids up again, and Bonnie follows and raises the bid to a final $600. What was the dollar value of the initial price?
Options:
A)90
B)45
C)46
D)255
E)466
Rationale: Initial bid = p$
tom = p+40
Bonnie = 2p
The sequence is R---> B ---> R -----> B ---> 600
Thus per the sequence we have: p+40, 2(p+40), 2p+80+40 , 2(2p+120)
Now given, 2(2p+120) = 600----> p =90$. Thus A is the correct answer.

Question: It takes printer A 4 more minutes more than printer B to print 40 pages. Working together, the two printers can print 50 pages in 6 minutes. How long will it take Printer A to print 120 pages?
Options:
A)12
B)18
C)20
D)24
E)36
Rationale: If it takes 4 more minutes for A to print 40 pages than it takes B,
it takes 5 more minutes for A to print 50 pages than it takes B.
Thus if b is the number of minutes than B takes to print 50 pages,
we can write:
1/b+1/(b+5)=1/6 (since in 1 minute, they print 1/6th of the 50 page job)
6(2b+5)=b(b+5)
b^2-7b-30=0
(b-10)(b+3)=0
b=10
Thus it takes A 15 minutes to print 50 pages and 15*120/50=36 minutes to print 120 pages (ANSWER E)
Answer: E
Question: The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and that of B and C be 43 kg, then the weight of B is:
Options:
A)31 kg
B)32 kg
C)33 kg
D)34 kg
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Let A, B, C represent their respective weights. Then, we have:
A + B + C = (45 x 3) = 135 …. (i)
A + B = (40 x 2) = 80 …. (ii)
B + C = (43 x 2) = 86 ….(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get: A + 2B + C = 166 …. (iv)
Subtracting (i) from (iv), we get : B = 31.
B’s weight = 31 kg.
