Question: A motorcycle importer is planning on increasing the price of a certain model by $1000. At this new price 7 fewer motorcycles will be sold per month, but the total revenues will increase by $26,000 to $594,000. What is the number of motorcycles the manufacturer will sell at this new price?
Options:
A)62
B)63
C)64
D)65
E)72
Rationale: I will make an equation in x and then make educated guesses. Here's how:
Assuming x motorcycles were sold every month initially.
(568000/x + 1000)(x-7) = 594000
(568/x + 1)(x-7) = 594
Now 568 = 8*71
Assuming x = 71 (We have all integers so it is obvious that 568/x should be an integer.
We get 9*66 = 594 (matches)
So he will sell 71 - 7 = 64 bikes this month

Question: What no. should be subtracted from x^3+4x^2−7x+12x^3+4x^2−7x+12, if it is to be perfectly divisible by x+3x+3?
Options:
A)30
B)42
C)45
D)49
E)51
Rationale: According to remainder theorem when dfracf(x)x+adfracf(x)x+a, then the remainder is f(−a)f(−a).
In this case, as x+3x+3 divides x3+4x2−7x+12–kx3+4x2−7x+12–k perfectly (kk being the number to be subtracted), the remainder is 0 when the value of xx is substituted by -3.
i.e., (−3)3+4(−3)2−7(−3)+12−k=0(−3)3+4(−3)2−7(−3)+12−k=0
or −27+36+21+12=k−27+36+21+12=k

Question: Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 590 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)s.268
B)s.288
C)s.298
D)s.300
E)s.388
Rationale: Let the amount paid to X per week = x
and the amount paid to Y per week = y
Then x + y = 590
But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10
∴12y/10 + y = 590
⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 590
⇒ 22y/10 = 590
⇒ 22y = 5900
⇒ y = 5900/22 = 500/2 = Rs.268

Question: A company has issued 500 preferred shares and 400 common shares both of par value Rs. 100 each. The dividend on a preferred share and a common share is 8% and 12%, respectively. The company had a total profit of 150000 rupees out of which some amount was kept in reverse fund and the remaining disturbed as dividend. Find the amount kept in reserve fund.
Options:
A)141000
B)141500
C)141300
D)141250
E)141200
Rationale: Face value of each preferred share = 100
Dividend per preferred share = 100×8/100
Total dividend in all preferred shares = (500×100×8)/100=Rs.4000
Face value of each common share = 100
Dividend per common share = 100×12/100
Total dividend in all common shares = 400×100×12/100 = Rs.4800
Total dividend = Rs.4000 + Rs.4800 = Rs.8800
amount kept in reserve fund = Rs.150000 - Rs.8800 = Rs.141200

Question: A man gets a simple interest of Rs.800 on a certain principal at the rate of 5% p.a in two years. Find the compound interest the man will get on twice the principal in two years at the same rate.
Options:
A)Rs.500
B)Rs.250
C)Rs.5012.50
D)Rs.5062.50
E)410
Rationale: Let the principal be Rs.P
S.I at 5% p.a in 8 years on Rs.P = Rs.800
(P)(8)(5)/100 = 800
P = 2000
C.I on Rs.2P i.e., Rs.4000 at 5% p.a in two years
=4000{ [1 + 5/100]2 - 1} = 4000{ 212 - 202 /202}
= Rs.410

Question: A company bought for its 7 offices 2 computers of brand N and 4 computers of brand M. In how many ways could computers be distributed among the offices if each office can have only 1 computer.
Options:
A)196
B)105
C)256
D)292
E)312
Rationale: This problem has to do withcombinations. Here's the general idea: if you have a set of n elements, and you are going to choose r of them (r < n), then the number of combinations of size r one could choose from this total set of n is:
# of combinations = nCr = (n!)/[(r!)((n-r)!)]
where n! is the factorial symbol, which means the product of every integer from n down to 1. BTW, nCr is readn choose r.
In this problem, let's consider first the three computers of brand M. How many ways can three computer be distributed to seven offices?
# of combinations = 7C4 = 35
There are 35 different ways to distribute three computers to 7 offices. (The massive amount of cancelling that occurred there is very much typical of what happens in the nCr formula.)
One we have distributed those three M computers, we have to distribute 2 N computers to the remaining four offices. How many ways can two computer be distributed to four offices?
# of combinations = 3C2 = 3
For each of the 35 configurations of distributing the M computers, we have 3 ways of distributing the N computers to the remaining offices. Thus, the total number of configurations is 35*3 = 105. Answer choice =B
Answer: B
Question: How many 4 letter combinations can be made from the letters of the word VERMONT if the first letter has to be a vowel and the last letter has to be a consonant, and each letter can be used only once?
Options:
A)21
B)42
C)120
D)600
E)200
Rationale: Vowel: E O
Consonants: V R M N T
First letter can be filled in 2 Ways ( As the question states thatfirst letter has to be a vowel)
Fourth letter can be filled in 5 Ways ( As the question states thatthe last letter has to be a consonant)
Now since each letter can be used only once, and 2 letters out of 7 letters are already used in First and fourth letter
Second letter can be filled in 5 Ways
Third letter can be filled in 4 Ways
So, Total number of ways = 2 Ways x 5 Ways x 4 ways x 5 ways = 200

Question: At a party, there were five times as many girls as boys and three times as many adults as children. Which of the following could NOT be the number of people at the party?
Options:
A)258
B)259
C)216
D)120
E)72
Rationale: Five times as many girls as boys --> F = 5M.
Three times as many adults as children --> (F + M) = 3C.
The number of people at the party = F + M + C = 3C + C = 4C.
The number of people at the party must be a multiple of 4. The only answer choice which is NOT a multiple of 4 is A.
Answer: A.
Answer: A
Question: The price of rice falls by 20%. How much rice can be bought now with the money that was sufficient to buy 10 kg of rice previously?
Options:
A)5 kg
B)12,5 kg
C)25 kg
D)30 kg
E)None
Rationale: Solution: Let Rs. 100 be spend on rice initially for 10 kg.
As the price falls by 20%, new price for 10 kg rice,
= (100 -20% of 100) = 80
New price of rice = 80/10 = Rs. 8 per kg.
Rice can bought now at = 100/8 = 12,5 kg.
