Question: A tourist purchased a total of $1,700 worth of traveler’s checks in $10 and $50 denominations, During the trip the tourist cashed 7 checks and then lost all of the rest. If the number of $10 checks cashed was one more or one less than the number of $50 checks cashed, what is the minimum possible value of the checks that were lost?
Options:
A)$1,430
B)$1,310
C)$1,290
D)$1,470
E)$1,150
Rationale: since total cashed checks = 7 ans $10 check cashed = one less or more than $50 checks
Therefore either $10 checks = 3 and $50 checks = 4 OR $10 checks = 4 and $50 checks = 3
using this information 1st option gives us the maximum cashed value therefore if we negate this value from total value we will get minimum value of which checks have lost
Therfore 1700 - 230 = 1470 hence answer is D

Question: John throws a coin until a series of seven consecutive heads or three consecutive tails appears. What is the probability that the game will end after the eighth throw?
Options:
A)1/128
B)2/16
C)3/16
D)7/16
E)9/16
Rationale: Let's consider the routes that would lead to ending the game on the fourth toss. In order to be a win at that point, tosses #2#3#4 would all have to be the same, either H or T, and in order for the game NOT to end on the third toss, the first toss would have to be different from the other four. Thus, the only two possible sequences are
H-T-T-T--T-T-T-T ----> P = (1/2)^8 = 1/256
T-H-H-H-H-H-H-H ----> P = (1/2)^8 = 1/256
Either one of these would satisfy the condition, so we could have one or the other. OR means add in probability.
1/256 + 1/256 = 2/256 = 1/128

Question: Bhajan Singh purchased 120 reams of paper at Rs 80 per ream. He spent Rs 280 on transportation, paid octroi at the rate of 40 paise per ream and paid Rs 72 to the coolie. If he wants to have a gain of 8 %, what must be the selling price per ream?
Options:
A)90
B)89
C)87.48
D)86
E)85
Rationale: Explanation:
Total investment = Rs. (120 * 80 + 280 + (40/100) * 120 + 72).
= Rs. (9600 + 280+48 + 72) = Rs, 10000.
Sell price of 120 reams = 108% of Rs. 10000 = Rs. 10800.
Sell Price per ream = Rs. [10800/120] = Rs. 90. Answer: A

Question: If x and y are integers and x divided by y is 22.15, then which of the following integers is a possible value for the remainder when x is divided by y? I. 15 II. 5 III. 3
Options:
A)II,III only
B)I,III only
C)I,II only
D)I only
E)III only
Rationale: x=22.15y from which x = 22y + 15y/100 or x = 22y + 3y/20.
Since x and y are integers, 3y/20 must also be an integer. 3 is not divisible by 20, then y must be divisible by 20, and therefore, y/20 is an integer and 3y/20 is an integer which is a multiple of 3. From the given answers, only 15 and 3 are divisible by 3.

Question: Of the science books in a certain supply room, 50 are on botany, 65 are on zoology, 90 are on physics. 40 are on geology, and 110 are on chemistry. If science books are removed randomly from the supply room, how many must be removed to ensure that 80 of the books removed are on the same science?
Options:
A)81
B)159
C)166
D)285
E)314
Rationale: I solve it using the tough luck technique:
According to question: What is the least number of books you should pick so as to get at least 80 books of the same science subject.
80 books of the same science subjects is possible only for two subjects: Physics=90>80 OR Chemistry=110>80
Now, we need to be certain that out of the books we picked, there are either at least 80 physics books or 80 chemistry books
What if we pick the first 80 books and none of them is either Physics or Chemistry. Possible. Thus, we first count all our negatives.
We picked:
50 Botany Books
65 Zoology Books
40 Geology Books
Now, any book we pick will be either Chemistry or Physics. But unfortunately, we can't be lucky enough to pick 80 books and all of them will be Physics, right!!
Thus, in order to make sure that we have 80 books of either of these 2 subjects, we must pick
79*2+1 books
Because, we could have picked the books in following order;
1st book picked: Physics
2nd book picked: Chemistry
3rd book picked: Physics
Thus, Total= 50+65+40+79*2+1=155+1+158=314

Question: Robert is traveling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 p.m. if he travels at 10 km/hr; he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 km/hr. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 p.m.?
Options:
A)109
B)12
C)99
D)81
E)22
Rationale: Let the distance traveled be x km.
Then, x/10 - x/15 = 2
3x - 2x = 60 => x = 60 km.
Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60/10 = 6 hrs.
So, Robert started 6 hours before 2. p.m. i.e., at 8 a.m.
Required speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.
