I. 15
II. 17
III. 19
Options:
A) None
B) I only
C) II only
D) I and II
E) II and II
Rationale: Another crude way to answer this, if you did not know the properties above would be to consider that that 20! will have the number ending in 00 due to 10 and 20 being included.
So q!+17 = xxxx00 +17 = xxxx17 which is only possibly divisible by 17. Hence Option C is the answer.

Question: A computer can perform x calculations in s seconds. How many minutes will it take the computer to perform k calculations?
Options:
A)60ks/x
B)ks/x
C)ks/60x
D)60x/ks
E)k/60xs
Rationale: As 'thick' as this question might look, it's actually a fairly straight-forward Rate question and can be solved by TESTing VALUES.
We're told that a computer can perform X calculations in S seconds.
Let's TEST....
x = 2
S = 3
2 calculations every 3 seconds =
40 calculations every 1 minute
We're asked how many MINUTES it will take to perform K calculations.
Since we already know that the computer can perform 40 calculations in 1 minute, let's TEST...
K = 80
So we're looking for an answer that = 2 when C = 2, S = 3 and K = 80
Answer A: 60KS/x = 60(80)(3)/2 = 7200 This is NOT a match
Answer B: KS/x = (80)(3)/2 = 120 This is NOT a match
Answer C: KS/60x = (80)(3)/(60)(2) = 2 This IS a match
Answer D: 60x/KS = 60(2)/(80)(3) = 1/2 This is NOT a match
Answer E: K/60xS = 80/(60)(2)(3) = a fraction. This is NOT a match

Options:
A)21 days
B)21 ½ days
C)22 days
D)22 ½ days
E)23 ½ days
Rationale: If A completes a work in 1 day, B completes the same work in 3 days
Hence, if the difference is 2 days, B can complete the work in 3 days
=> if the difference is 60 days, B can complete the work in 90 days
=> Amount of work B can do in 1 day= 1/90
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 3 × (1/90) = 1/30
Amount of work A and B can together do in 1 day = 1/90 + 1/30 = 4/90 = 2/45
=> A and B together can do the work in 45/2 days = 22 ½ days

Question: Tap 'A' can fill the tank completely in 4 hrs while tap 'B' can empty it by 8 hrs. By mistake, the person forgot to close the tap 'B', As a result, both the tapes, remained open. After 4 hrs, the person realized the mistake and immediately closed the tap 'B'. In how much time now onward, would the tank be full?
Options:
A)2
B)3
C)1/2
D)1/4
E)5
Rationale: Explanation :
Rate of filling tap A = 1/4 per hr
Rate of emptying of tap B = 1/8 per hr
When both the taps remain open, the effective rate of filling
= 1/4 - 1/8 = 1/8 of the tank
Hence in 4 hr, the tank must have been full to the
Extent of 4 x 1/8 = 1/2 Capacity
Remaining volume = 1/2 capacity
Now emptying tap is closed rate of filling would be 1/4 per hr
Time reqd. to fill = Empty volume/Filling rate
= (1/2)/(1/4) = 2 hrs

Question: A total of $20,000 was invested in two certificates of deposit at simple annual interest rates of 6 percent and 9 percent, respectively. If the total interest on the two certificates was $1,440 at the end of one year, what fractional part of the $20.000 was invested at the higher rate?
Options:
A) 11/20
B) 2/5
C) 1/2
D) 3/5
E) 3/4
Rationale: x * 6/100 * 1 + (20000 - x) * 9/100 * 1 = 1440
6x - 8x = 144000 - 180000
=> -2x = -18000
=> x = 9000
So 11000/20000 = 11/20

Question: The average height of 35 boys in a class was calculated as 185cm. It has later found that the height of one of the boys in the class was wrongly written as 166 cm whereas his actual height was 106 cm. Find the actual average height of the boys in the class (Round off your answer to two decimal places).?
Options:
A)178.27 cm
B)183.29 cm
C)978.29 cm
D)178.89 cm
E)176.29 cm
Rationale: Calculated average height of 35 boys = 185 cm.
Wrong total height of 35 boys = 185 * 35 cm. This was as a result of an actual height of 106 cm being wrongly written as 166 cm. Correct total height of 35 boys = 185 cm - (166 cm - 106 cm)/35
=185 cm - 60 /35 cm
= 185 cm - 1.71 cm = 183.29 cm.
