Question: A man purchased $510 worth savings bonds in denominations of $15 and $30, including at least 1 of each denomination. He gave away 8 of the bonds as gifts but then lost all the rest of the bonds he had purchased. If the number of $30 bonds he gave away was a multiple of the number of $15 bonds he gave away, what was maximum possible value of the bonds that he lost?
Options:
A)180
B)225
C)285
D)300
E)330
Rationale: Let the number of 15$ bonds given be x, then the number of 30$ bills given = kx, where k is an integer.
Thus, x+kx = 8 --> x(1+k) = 8. Thus, we could have
x = 1, k=7 --> The value left with him = 510 - (15+210) = 285
x = 8,k =0 --> The value left with him = 510 - (120) = 390
x =4, k =1 --> The value left with him = 510 - (60+120) = 330
x=2,k=3 --> The value left with him = 510 - (30+180) = 300
Thus, the answer is E.

Question: Five children, Anaxagoras, Beatrice, Childeric, Desdemona, and Ethelred, sit randomly in five chairs in a row. What is the probability that Childeric and Ethelred sit next to each other?
Options:
A)1/30
B)1/15
C)1/5
D)2/5
E)7/20
Rationale: Total no of empty space is 5 so total no of ways A B C D and E can sit is 5 !
Solution 1:
Now condition is C&E will sit together
If they sit at 1st and 2nd place . # of ways will be 1*3! but C&E can be either at 1 or at 2 so # of ways will be 1*3!*2!
Similarly they can sit together at position 2 and 3 or 3 and 4 or 4 and 5
So total # ways will be 1*3!*2! + 1*3!*2! + 1*3!*2! + 1*3!*2! = 4 *1*3! *2 !
So probability is (4! * 2! ) / 5! = 2/5
Solution 2:
Consider C*E as 1 person . So we have 4 ppl and 4 places . # of ways they can sit is 4!
C&E can sit as C&E or E&C so total # of ways is 4! * 2!
So probability will be 2/5

Question: A woman says, "If you reverse my own age, the figures represent my husband's age. He is, of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one-eleventh of their sum." The woman's age is
Options:
A)23 years
B)34 years
C)45 years
D)54 years
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Let x and y be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman's age.
Then, woman's age = (10X + y) years; husband's age = (10y + x) years.
Therefore (10y + x)- (10X + y) = (1/11) (10y + x + 10x + y)
(9y-9x) = (1/11)(11y + 11x) = (x + y) 10x = 8y x = (4/5)y
Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5.
So, x = 4, y = 5.
Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years.

Question: Nicole cycles at a constant rate of 10 kilometers per hour, and is passed by Jessica, who cycles at a constant rate of 20 kilometers per hour. If Jessica cycles at her constant rate for x minutes after passing Nicole, then stops to wait for her, how many minutes will Jessica have to wait for Nicole to catch up to her?
Options:
A)a) x minutes
B)b) x/2 minutes
C)c) 2x/3 minutes
D)d) 3x/2 minutes
E)e) 2x minutes
Rationale: Speed of nicole = 20km/h or 20/60 km/min = 1/3 km/min.
Once jessica passed the nicole, the distance between the nicole and jessica will increase at the rate of (30-20) = 10km/h or 1/6 km/min
now jessica is cycling for x minutes after passing the nicole, so in those x minutes distance between jessica and nicole would be (1/6)*x = x/6 km.
So, the time taken by nicole to travel x/6 km = (x/6)/(1/3) = x/2. hence answer should be

Question: Two employees A and B are paid a total of Rs. 550 per week by their employer. If A is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to B, how much is B paid per week?
Options:
A)A)Rs.180
B)B)Rs.200
C)C)Rs.250
D)D)Rs.280
E)E)Rs.300
Rationale: Let the amount paid to A per week = x
and the amount paid to B per week = y
Then x + y = 550
But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10
∴12y/10 + y = 550
⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 550
⇒ 22y/10 = 550
⇒ 22y = 5500
⇒ y = 5500/22 = 500/2 = Rs.250

Question: The price of petrol increased by 25% and so a person reduced his consumption by 25%. What percentage is the rise or fall in the expenditure incurred by him on petrol ?
Options:
A)6.25%
B)6.50%
C)6.76%
D)6.80%
E)6.0%
Rationale: Assume he consumes 100 liters of petrol,and petrol costs him Rs.100/-
His total expenditure = Rs.10000/-
Now price got increased by 25%. If a value got increased by 25% then the new value is 125% of the previous value. so 125%(100) = Rs.125
But he reduced his consumption by 25%, so his new consumption is 75%(100) = 75
His total expenditure = 125 x 75 = Rs.9375
Percentage change in the expenditures = 10000−9375/10000×100=6.25%

Question: If y is an integer, then the least possible value of |39 - 6y| is
Options:
A)1
B)2
C)3
D)4
E)5
Rationale: We know that 6y is a multiple of 6, so let’s first look at the multiples of 6 closest to 39. We have “36” and “42”. Let’s subtract both of these from 39 and see which one produces the smallest result. When 6y = 36, y is 6 and when 6y = 42, y is 7. Let’s start with letting y = 6.
|39-6(6)|
|39-36|
|3| = 3
Next, let’s let y equal 5.
|39-6(7)|
|39-42|
|-3| = 3
We see that the smallest possible value of |39-6y| is 3.
