Question: A farmer has an apple orchard consisting of Fuji and Gala apple trees. Due to high winds this year 10% of his trees cross pollinated. The number of his trees that are pure Fuji plus the cross-pollinated ones totals 170, while 3/4 of all his trees are pure Fuji. How many of his trees are pure Gala?
Options:
A)30
B)33
C)55
D)77
E)88
Rationale: Let f = pure fuji , g = pure gala and c - cross pollinated.
c = 10% of x where x is total trees.
c = .1x
also 3x/4 = f and c+f = 170 => .1x + 3/4x = 170 => x = 200
200 - 170 = pure gala = 30.

Question: How many positive integers D between 200 and 300 (both inclusive) are not divisible by 2, 3 or 5?
Options:
A)3
B)16
C)75
D)24
E)26
Rationale: 1) I figured there are 101 integers (300 - 200 + 1 = 101). Since the set begins with an even and ends with an even, there are 51 evens.
2) Question says integers are not divisible by 2, leaving all of the odds (101 - 51 = 50 integers).
3) Question says integers are not divisible by 5, removing all the integers ending in 5 (already took out those ending in 0). Take out 10 integers (2?5, ? = 0 to 9), leaving us with 40 integers.
4) Now the painstaking part. We have to remove the remaining numbers that are multiples of 3. Those are 201, 207, 213, 219, 231, 237, 243, 249, 261, 267, 273, 279, 291, and 297...a total of 14 numbers. 26 numbers left!

Options:
A)29
B)30
C)31
D)35
E)38
Rationale: Let $let n$ be the smaller and 71 - n be the larger number. Now, since the larger number exceeds the smaller number by 7, we can form the equation
larger number – smaller number = 7
which is equivalent to
Simplifying, we have 71 - 2n = 7. This gives us 2n = 78 which implies that the larger number is . The smaller is 71-39=31.

Question: A man, a woman and a boy can complete a job in 3,4 and 12 days respectively.
How many boys must assist 1 man and 1 woman to complete the job in ¼ of a day?
Options:
A)1day
B)4days
C)19days
D)41days
E)52days
Rationale: (1 man + 1 woman)'s 1 days work = 1/3+1/4=7/12
Work done by 1 man and 1 women n 1/4 day=((7/12)*(1/4))=7/48
Remaining work= 1- 7/48= 41/48
Work done by 1 boy in ¼ day= ((1/12)*(1/4)) =1/48
Therefore, Number of boys required= ((41/48)*48)= 41 days

Options:
A)x*x – 5x
B)(x)(105 – x)
C)(x)*(108 - x)
D)(100)(95 – x)
E)(x-5)/100
Rationale: Initial: (x/100)*10000 = 100x (bacterial species)
After reduce BY (x - 8)%, the percentage of bacterial species = 1 - (x - 8)% = 1 - (x - 8)/100 = (108 - x)/100
Note: Difference betweenreduce to[means: the remain] andreduce by[means: the remain = 1 -reduce by]
So, the number of bacterial species after reducing: 100x*(108 - x)/100 = (x)*(108 - x)

Question: John and Mary were each paid x dollars in advance to do a certain job together. John worked on the job for 10 hours and Mary worked 1 hours less than John. If Mary gave John y dollars of her payment so that they would have received the same hourly wage, what was the dollar amount, in terms of y, that John was paid in advance?
Options:
A) 4y
B) 5y
C) 6y
D) 8y
E) 19y
Rationale: Let $x be the advance that both receive = 2x
Amount earned per hour by John and Mary = x/10 and x/9
Mary gives $y to John to make the wages earned equal
Hence John wage per hr = (x+y)10 which is now equal to Mary's wage (x-y)/9
Solve (x+y)10 = (x-y)/9
9x + 9y = 10x -10y
x = 19y

Question: The number of boxes in a warehouse can be divided evenly into 6 equal shipments by boat or 27 equal shipments by truck. What is the smallest number of boxes that could be in the warehouse?
Options:
A)27
B)33
C)54
D)81
E)162
Rationale: Explanations
1) This tells us that the number of boxes is evenly divisible by both 6 and 27; in other words, it’s a common multiple of 6 and 27. The question says: what’s the smallest value it could have? In other words, what’s the LCM of 6 and 27? (This question is one example of a real-world set-up where the question is actually asking for the LCM.)
Step (a): 6 = 2*3 27 = 3*3*3
Step (b): 6 = 2*3 27 = 3*3*3 GCF = 3
Step (c): 6 = 3*2 27 = 3*9
Step (d) LCM = 3*2*9 = 54
Thus, 54 is the LCM of 6 and 27.

Question: Bill made a profit of 10% by selling a product. If he had purchased that product for 10% less and sold it at a profit of 30%, he would have received $63 more. What was his original selling price?
Options:
A)$850
B)$990
C)$1050
D)$1180
E)$1340
Rationale: Let P be the original purchase price of the product.
Bill originally sold the product for 1.1*P.
In the second scenario, the purchase price is 0.9*P.
A 30% profit means the selling price would be 1.3*0.9*P = 1.17*P
Thus, according to the information in the question, 1.17P - 1.1P = 63
0.07 = 63
P = 900
The original selling price was 900*1.1 = 990.
The correct answer is B.

Question: The workforce of Company X is 60% female. The company hired 28 additional male workers, and as a result, the percent of female workers dropped to 55%.How many employees did the company have after hiring the additional male workers?
Options:
A)160
B)220
C)336
D)360
E)420
Rationale: Let's xx be total quantity of employees
0.6x=females before adding men
0.55(x+28)=females after adding men
as quantity of women doesn't change we can make an equation:
0.6x=0.55(x+28)
0.05x=15.4
x=308 - this is quantity of employees before adding 28 men
So after adding it will be 336

Question: x is the smallest integer greater than 1000 that is not prime and that has only one factor in common with 30!. What is x?
Options:
A)1009
B)1021
C)1147
D)1273
E)50! + 1
Rationale: Next, x and 30! have only one factor in common means that this factor must be 1 (any two integers have 1 as a common factor). Thus no other factor of 30! is a factor of x. So, the least prime of x can be 31 (30! has all primes less than 30).
x cannot be 31*31 = 961 because it's less than 1,000.
The next prime is 37: 31*37 = 1147 > 1,000.

Question: A number when divided by a divisor leaves a remainder of 24.
When twice the original number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 11. What is the value of the divisor?
Options:
A)34
B)35
C)37
D)38
E)40
Rationale: Let the original number be 'a'
Let the divisor be 'd'
Let the quotient of the division of aa by dd be 'x'
Therefore, we can write the relation as a/d = x and the remainder is 24.
i.e., a=dx+24 When twice the original number is divided by d, 2a is divided by d.
We know that a=dx+24. Therefore, 2a = 2dx + 48
The problem states that (2dx+48)/d leaves a remainder of 11.
2dx2dx is perfectly divisible by d and will therefore, not leave a remainder.
The remainder of 11 was obtained by dividing 48 by d.
When 48 is divided by 37, the remainder that one will obtain is 11.
Hence, the divisor is 37.

Question: The average score in an examination of 10 students of a class is 60. If the scores of the top five students are not considered, the average score of the remaining students falls by 5. The pass mark was 40 and the maximum mark was 100. It is also known that none of the students failed. If each of the top five scorers had distinct integral scores, the maximum possible score of the topper is ?
Options:
A)87
B)95
C)99
D)100
E)103
Rationale: The average score in an examination of 10 students of a class is 60 --> the total score = 10*60 = 600;
The 5 smallest scores have an average of 55 --> the total score of the 5 smallest scores = 275.
From above, the total score of the 5 largest scores = 600 - 275 = 325.
Say the 5 largest scores are a, b, c, d, and e (where a<b<c<d<e, since each of the top five scorers had distinct scores). We want to maximize e. To maximize e, we need to minimize a, b, c, and d. The least value of a, is 55 (The least score of the top 5 , a, should be equal to the highest of the bottom 5 and to minimize the highest of the bottom 5, all scores from the bottom 5 should be equal). In this case the least values of b, c, and d are 56, 57, and 58 respectively:
a + b + c + d + e = 55 + 56 +57 + 58 + e = 325;
e = 99.

Options:
A)100 m sqaure
B)103 m sqaure
C)152 m sqaure
D)164 m sqaure
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Area of the wet surface =
2[lb+bh+hl] - lb = 2 [bh+hl] + lb
= 2[(6*1.35+10*1.35)]+10*6 = 103 m square
Option B
Answer: B
Question: A boat having a length 3 m and breadth 3 m is floating on a lake. The boat sinks by 1 cm when a man gets on it. The mass of the man is:
Options:
A)100 kg
B)120 kg
C)89 Kg
D)90 Kg
E)110 Kg
Rationale: Volume of water displaced	= (3 x 3 x 0.01) m3
= 0.09 m3.
Mass of man = Volume of water displaced x Density of water
= (0.09 x 1000) kg
= 90 kg.

Question: Tom and John traveled in the same direction along the equal route at their constant speed rates of 15 km per hour and 10 km per hour, respectively. After 15 minutes Tom passed John, Tom reaches a certain Gas station, how many Q minutes it takes John to reach the station?
Options:
A)5 min
B)6 min
C)7 and 1/2 min
D)8 min
E)10 min
Rationale: Since the question states “after 15 minutes”, we can say Tom traveled 15/4km for 15 minutes as he can travel 15km per hour. Hence, using the same logic, we can say John traveled 10/4km as he travels 10km per hour. So, John has to travel (15/4)-(10/4)km=5/4km more. Since John’s speed is 10km/hour, which means 1km/6minutes. As he has to travel 5/4km more, it is going to take him 6(5/4) minutes. Hence,Q= 6(5/4)=15/2 minutes. The correct answer is C.
Answer: C
Question: The diameter of the driving wheel of a bus is 120 m. How many revolution, per minute must the wheel make in order to keep a speed of 60 kmph approximately
Options:
A)245
B)257
C)262
D)265
E)275
Rationale: Explanation:
Distance to be covered in 1 min. = (60 X 1000)/(60) m = 1000 m.
Circumference of the wheel = (2 x (22/7) x 0.60) m = 3.77 m.
Number of revolutions per min. =(1000/3.77) = 265

Answer: C
Question: A can do a piece of work in 4 hours; B and C together can do it in 3 hours, while A and C together can do it in 2 hours. How long will B alone take to do it?
Options:
A)11 hours
B)16 hours
C)12 hours
D)13 hours
E)17 hours
Rationale: A's 1 hour's work =1/4;
(B + C)'s 1 hour's work = 1/3;
(A + C)'s 1 hour's work = 1/2.
(A + B + C)'s 1 hour's work = ( 1/4 + 1/3 )	= 7/12.
B's 1 hour's work = ( 7/12 - 1/2 ) = 1/12.
Therefore B alone will take 12 hours to do the work.

Question: A man saves a certain portion of his income during a year and spends the remaining portion on his personal expenses. Next year his income increases by 20% but his savings increase by 100%. If his total expenditure in 2 years is double his expenditure in 1st year, What %age of his income in the first year did he save?
Options:
A)15%
B)18%
C)20%
D)25%
E)26%
Rationale: 1st year Income= I
1st year savings= S
1st year Expense= E1
2nd year Income = 1.2I
2nd year savings= 2S (100% increase)
2nd Year expense= E2
E1+ E2= 2E1
E2=E1
That means Expenses are same during both years. With increase of 20% income the savings increased by 100%.
or S= .2I
or S= 20% of Income
C is the answer
Answer: C
Question: If x2*square* – x – 2 > 0, which of the following is the
solution set for x?
Options:
A)x > –1
B)x > 2
C)–1 < x < 2
D)x < –1 or x > 2
E)No solutions are possible
Rationale: Begin by treating the inequality x2 – x – 2 > 0 as if it were an equation. Factor to find the zeros:
x2 – x – 2 = 0
(x + 1)(x – 2) = 0
x = –1 and x = 2
The graph of this function is a parabola that crosses the x-axis at –1 and 2. This graph is
concave up because the coefficient of the x2 term (that is, a) is positive. The parabola dips
below the x-axis when –1 < x < 2, so these values do not satisfy the equation. Therefore, the
correct answer is D. (If you doubt this answer, note that when x = 0, x2 – x – 2 = –2,
which is less than 0. So 0 is not in the solution set.)
correct answer D) x < –1 or x > 2
Answer: D
