Question: Two Trains A and B start simultaneously from stations 500 miles apart, and travel the same route toward each other on adjacent parallel tracks. If Train A and Train B travel at a constant rate of 50 miles per hour and 50 miles per hour, respectively, how many miles will Train A have traveled when the trains pass each other, to the nearest mile?
Options:
A) 112
B) 133
C) 150
D) 250
E) 288
Rationale: Since we know the distance (500) and the combined rate (100), we plug it into the formula:
Distance = Rate * Time
500 = 100 * Time
We can solve for the time they will meet cause we added the rate of Train A and Train B together.
So the time will be 500/100 from dividing 100 on both sides to isolate Time in the equation above.
Time will be 5 hours so now you can plug that in for Train A’s distance.
Distance = Rate * Time
Distance = 50 * 5
Distance = 250 according to answer choice D.

Rationale: Explanation:
(2\times 14) men +(7\times 14)boys=(3\times 11)men+(8\times 11)boys
Leftrightarrow 5 men= 10 boys Leftrightarrow 1man= 2 boys
(2 men+ 7 boys) = (2 x 2 +7) boys = 11 boys
( 8 men + 6 boys) = (8 x 2 +6) boys = 22 boys.
Let the required number of days be x.
More boys , Less days (Indirect proportion)
More work , More days (Direct proportion)
begin{matrix} Boys\: 22:11\Work\: 1:3 end{::14:x
(22\times 1\times x)=(11\times 3\times 14) Leftrightarrow {462}{22}=21
Hence, the required number of days = 21

Question: The income tax in the area where the Jones family lives is scheduled to increase by 12% next year. Since the Jones family cannot afford an increase in their tax bill, how much will they have to reduce income by to keep their cost the same?
Options:
A)10.7%
B)10%
C)10.3%
D)10.9%
E)10.2%
Rationale: Solution: Let the current tax be represented by Rs. 100.
The tax rate rises 12%. So, to continue to have the same income, they need to increase their tax,
= (100 + 12% of 100) = Rs. 112.
But, they want to keep tax expense the same, so they have to cut Rs. by 12 to keep it to Rs. =100.
The % decrease in income is,
(12/112)*100 = 10.7%.
Mental Calculation Method;
100-----12%↑---→112------X%↓---→100.
Here, X = (12/112)*100 = 10.7%.

Question: P, Q and R can do a work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. How many days does it need to complete the work if P does the work and he is assisted by Q and R on every third day?
Options:
A)15
B)24
C)78
D)96
E)32
Rationale: Explanation :
Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/20
Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/30
Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/60
P is working alone and every third day Q and R is helping him
Work completed in every three days = 2 × (1/20) + (1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60) = 1/5
So work completed in 15 days = 5 × 1/5 = 1
Ie, the work will be done in 15 days
