Question: John invests $x at the semi-annual constant compounded rate of 2 percent and also does $20,000 at the quarterly constant compounded rate of 4 percent. If the interests are the same after 1 year, what is the value of x??
Options:
A)40,402
B)40404
C)40000
D)50000
E)50005
Rationale: A = P(1+r/n)^nt
A= total amount accrued
P = principal deposited
r = rate of interest in decimal form
n = number of times per year, interest compounded
t = time in number of years.
.
x(1+0.02/2)^2 - x = 20,000(1+0.04/4)^4 - 20,000 [ when the principal is subtracted from the total amount accrued , the resulting difference is the interest portion and question states interests are equal)
=> x[(1.01)^2 - 1] = 20,000[(1.01)^4 - 1]
=> x[(1.01)^2 - 1] = 20,000[(1.01)^2+1][(1.01)^2-1] --> Using a^2-b^2 = a+b X a-b formula and cancel common expression on both sides
=> x = 20,000(1.0201+1) =40,402.
Hence answer is A.

Question: In a two-digit, if it is known that its unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2 and that the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144, then the number is?
Options:
A)12
B)24
C)36
D)38
E)40
Rationale: Let the ten's digit be x.
Then, unit's digit = x + 2.
Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2.
Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2.
(11x + 2)(2x + 2) = 144
22x2 + 26x - 140 = 0
11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0
(x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0
x = 2.
Hence, required number = 11x + 2 = 24.

Question: The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 8.30, is
Options:
A)35°
B)65°
C)45°
D)75°
E)95°
Rationale: Angle between hands of a clock
When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock
=30(H−M/5)+M/2 degree
When the minute hand is ahead of the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock
=30(M/5−H)−M/2 degree
Here H = 8, M = 30 and minute hand is behind the hour hand.

Question: Let q represent the integer length of a side of a triangle. If r represents the number of distinct values for q such that we can create a triangle with lengths q, 10, and 12, what is the value of r?
Options:
A)17
B)18
C)19
D)20
E)21
Rationale: From the triangle inequality rule, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. So, the three inequalities are:
1. q + 10 > 12
2. 10 + 12 > q
3. q + 12 > 10
Equation 3 is true for any positive value of q.
From equation 1, q > 2
From equation 2, 22 > q
Then 22 > q > 2 so q can be any value from 3 to 21 inclusive.
The number of possible values is 19.
The answer is C.

Question: A piece of work can be done by Ram and shyam in 12 days, By shyam Nad hari in 15 days and by hari and ram in 20 days. Ram alone can complete the work in how much days ?
Options:
A). 30
B). 35
C). 25
D). 32
E). 28
Rationale: Rate*Time = Work
Since the work done is same throughout the question so we can take the work done as 1
Let Rate of Ram be R, Hari be H and Shaym be S
A piece of work can be done by Ram and shyam in 12 days
When Ram and Shyam will work together then their rate will be added. So combined rate will be R+S
(R+S)*12 = 1
R+S = 1/12 ...(1)
By shyam Nad hari in 15 days
Similarly
S+H = 1/15 ...(2)
hari and ram in 20 days
Similarly
H+R = 1/20 ...(3)
(2)-(3)
S+H - (H+R) = 1/15 - 1/20
=> S-R = 1/60 ..(4)
(1) - (4)
R + S - (S - R) = 1/12 - 1/60 = 4/60 = 1/15
2R = 1/15 => R = 1/30
Ram alone can complet the work in how much days ?
R * t = 1
t = 1/R = 1/ (1/30) = 30 days
So, Answer will be A

Question: In the accounting branch of a commercial institute, the percentage of male and female workers is 48% and 52% respectively. In this branch, 40% of males and 20% of females are age 25 or older. If one of the workers is selected at random, what is the probability R that the worker is under 25 years old?
Options:
A) 0.30
B) 0.25
C) 0.45
D) 0.70
E) 0.90
Rationale: Percentage of male worker = 48
Percentage of female worker = 52
Let total number of workers = 1000
number of male workers= 480
number of female workers = 520
Number of male age 25 or older = (4/10)*480 = 192
Number of female age 25 or older =(2/10)*520 = 104
Total number of workers 25 or older = 192+104 = 296
Total number of workers under 25 = 1000 - 296 = 704
Probability that a worker randomly selected is under 25 years old = 704/1000 = .704
Alternatively , since the answer options are not close , we can use estimation here .
Percentage of male worker 25 or older = (4/10)*48 = 20 % approx
Percentage of female worker 25 or older = (2/10)*52 = 10 % approx
Percentage of total worker 25 or older = 30 %
Percentage of total worker under 25 = 70 %
Probability that a worker randomly selected is under 25 years old R= .7

Question: An order was placed for the supply of a carper whose length and breadth were in the ratio of 3 : 2. Subsequently, the dimensions of the carpet were altered such that its length and breadth were in the ratio 7 : 3 but were was no change in its parameter. Find the ratio of the areas of the carpets in both the cases?
Options:
A)8:8
B)8:7
C)8:1
D)8:2
E)8:6
Rationale: Let the length and breadth of the carpet in the first case be 3x units and 2x units respectively.
Let the dimensions of the carpet in the second case be 7y, 3y units respectively.
From the data,.
2(3x + 2x) = 2(7y + 3y)
=> 5x = 10y
=> x = 2y
Required ratio of the areas of the carpet in both the cases
= 3x * 2x : 7y : 3y
= 6x2 : 21y2
= 6 * (2y)2 : 21y2
= 6 * 4y2 : 21y2

Question: The total price of a basic computer and printer are $2,500. If the same printer had been purchased with an enhanced computer whose price was $500 more than the price of the basic computer, then the price of the printer would have been 2/5 of that total. What was the price of the basic computer?
Options:
A)1300
B)1600
C)1750
D)1900
E)2000
Rationale: Let the price of basic computer be C and the price of the printer be P: C+P=$2,500.
The price of the enhanced computer will be C+500 and total price for that computer and the printer will be 2,500+500=$3,000. Now, we are told that the price of the printer is 2/5 of that new total price: P=2/5*$3,000=$1200.
Plug this value in the first equation: C+1200=$2,500 --> C=$1,300.

Question: A man can hit a target once in 4 shots. If he fires 4 shots in succession, what is the probability that he will hit his target?
Options:
A)1
B)1/256
C)81/256
D)175/256
E)2
Rationale: Solution:
The man will hit the target even if he hits it once or twice or thrice or all four times in the four shots that he takes.
So, the only case where the man will not hit the target is when he fails to hit the target even in one of the four shots that he takes.
The probability that he will not hit the target in one shot =1 - Probability that he will hit target in exact one shot
=1 -1/4
=3/4
Therefore, the probability that he will not hit the target in all the four shots
=(3/4)Ã—(3/4)Ã—(3/4)Ã—(3/4)=81/256
Hence, the probability that he will hit the target at least in one of the four shots:
=1-81/256
=175/256
