Question: What is the perimeter of an isosceles right angled triangle. The area of the isosceles right angled triangle is 50.
Options:
A)25
B)36
C)25
D)30
E)34.14
Rationale: An isosceles right angled triangle has both the base and height same.
The area of an isosceles triangle = 1/2 * base * height
since height = base
1/2 * height * height = 1/2 * height ^2 = 50
height ^ 2 = 100
height = 10 = base
Since we know the base and height. We will calculate the hypotenuse using Pythagoras
Base ^ 2 + Height ^ 2 = Hypotenuse ^ 2
10^2 + 10^2 = Hypotenuse^2
Hypotenuse^2 = 200
Hypotenuse = 14.14
Perimeter of the triangle = 10 + 10 + 14.14 = 34.14

Question: The total number of plums that grow during each year on a certain plum tree is equal to the number of plums that grew during the previous year, less the age of the tree in years (rounded down to the nearest integer). During its 5th year, the plum tree grew 50 plums. If this trend continues, how many plums will it grow during its 7th year?
Options:
A)36
B)37
C)38
D)39
E)40
Rationale: 1st year : 0-1 (age), we take age = 0 (as the question says that we have to(rounded down to the nearest integer))
2ndyear : 1-2 (age), we take age = 1
3rd year : 2-3 (age), we take age = 2
4th year : 3-4 (age), we take age = 3
5th year : 4-5 (age), we take age = 4
6th year : 5-6 (age), we take age = 5
7th year : 6-7 (age), we take age =6
Thus for the 5th year = 50,
6th year = 50 -5 = 45
7th year = 45-6 = 39
The correct answer is D.

Question: On a certain road, 10% of the motorists exceed the posted speed limit and receive speeding tickets, but 20% of the motorists who exceed the posted speed limit do not receive speeding tickets. What percent of the motorists on that road exceed the posted speed limit?
Options:
A)10.5%
B)12.5%
C)15%
D)22%
E)30%
Rationale: suppose there are X motorists.
10% of them exceeded the speed limit and received the ticket, i.e. X/10.
Again, suppose total no. of motorists who exceeded the speed limit are Y.
20% of Y exceeded the speed limit but didn't received the ticket, i.e. Y/5.
it means 4Y/5 received the ticket.
hence, 4Y/5 = X/10
or Y/X=1/8
or Y/X * 100= 1/8 * 100= 12.5%

Question: A fruit vendor purchased 20 dozens of bananas at Rs. 15 per dozen. But one-fourth of the bananas were rotten and had to be thrown away. He sold two-third of the remaining bananas at Rs. 22.50 per dozen. At what price per dozen should he sell the remaining bananas to make neither a profit nor a loss?
Options:
A)18
B)15
C)16
D)19
E)11
Rationale: CP of 20 dozen of bananas = 15 * 20 = Rs. 300
Number of bananas which are rotten = 1/4 * 20 = 5 dozen.
SP of two-third of remaining bananas = (2/3 * 15) * 22.5 = Rs. 225
SP of remaining 5 dozens of bananas to make no profit and no loss =(300 - 225) = Rs. 75.
SP of 1 dozen bananas = 75/5 = Rs. 15.Answer:B

Options:
A)128
B)142
C)143
D)141
E)129
Rationale: Minimum three digit number is 100 and maximum three digit number is 999.
The first three digit number that leaves remainder 5 when divided by 7 is 103.
14 * 7 = 98 +5 = 103
The second three digit number that leaves remainder 5 when divided by 7 is 110.
15 * 7 = 105 +5 =110
The third three digit number that leaves remainder 5 when divided by 7 is 117
and so on
The last three digit number that leaves remainder 5 when divided by 7 is 999
142 * 7 = 994 + 5 = 999
Therefore, we identify the sequence
103,110,117.....999
use the formula of last term
Last term = first term + (n - 1) * common difference
you will get the answer 129 that is definitely E.

Question: On the coordinate plane , points M and Q are defined by the coordinates (-1,0) and (3,3), respectively, and are connected to form a chord of a circle which also lies on the plane. If the area of the circle is (25/4) π , what are the coordinates of the center of the circle ?
Options:
A) (1.5,1)
B) (2,-5)
C) (0,0)
D) (1,1.5)
E) (2,2)
Rationale: Although it took me 3 mins to solve this question using all those equations, later I thought this question can be solved easily using options.
One property to keep in mind - A line passing through the centre of the circle bisects the chord (or passes from the mid point of the chord).
Now mid point of chord here is (-1+3)/2, (3+0)/2 i.e. (1,1.5) now luckily we have this in our Ans. choice. so definitely this is the ans. It also indictaes that MQ is the diameter of the circle.
There can be a case when MQ is not a diameter but in that case also the y-coordinate will remain same as it is the midpoint of the chord and we are moving up in the st. line to locate the centre of the circle.
If ans choices are all distinct (y cordinates) ONLY CHECK FOR Y CORDINATE and mark the ans=D

Rationale: The approach of plugging in the numbers is a fine approach. But, in this case, the answer was the first option and thus, by plugging in a number in the ration given, we arrived at the answer quickly!
However, what if the correct ratio was option D or C?
In any case, the algebraic solution isn't that complex if you realize a key concept:
The number 7 can be factored out of the second equation!
Here's the working: Lily shop runs a sale on goldfish and platys.
13x + 12y = 5.60 <<<<< Equation 1
14x + 21y = 8.05 <<<<< Equation 2
2x + 3y = 1.15 [Factor Out 7 from equation 2] <<<<< Equation 3
8x + 12y = 4.6 [Multiply Equation 3 with 4]
5x = 1.0 [Equation 1 - Equation 2]
x = 0.2
3y = 1.15 - 0.4 = 0.75 [Substitute for x in Equation 1]
y = 0.25
x/y = 0.2/0.25 = 20/25 = 4/5 = 0.8 [Answer A]

Question: If t is a positive integer and 10^t – 74 in decimal notation has digits whose sum is 440, what is the value of t?
Options:
A)40
B)44
C)45
D)46
E)50
Rationale: Answer E = 50
We have (10^t)-74, where the sum of the digits is 440.
100-74 = 26, so we already have 2+6 = 8 from the 440.
Because we have a power of 10, we will have numbers like 100, 1000, 10000 and so on. This minus 74 rests 26 and a lot of 9s. E.g: 1000-74 = 9926.
So dividing the 432/9 = 48, that`s the number of 9s. and we have 2 other numbers (2 and 6) wich were 00 before the subtraction.
So we have 48 + 2 as an t = 50

Question: A train passes a platform in 25 seconds. The same train passes a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, The length of the platform is
Options:
A)75
B)25
C)26
D)23
E)22
Rationale: Speed of the train = 54 km/hr = (54×10)/36 m/s = 15 m/s
Length of the train = speed × time taken to cross the man = 15×20 = 300 m
Let the length of the platform = L
Time taken to cross the platform = (300+L)/15
=> (300+L)/15 = 20
=> 300+L = 15×25 = 375
=> L = 375-300 = 75 meter
Answer is A.
Answer: A
Question: Calculate the percentage increase in the area of a square if each of its sides is increased by 15%?
Options:
A)32.25%
B)39.25%
C)36.25%
D)35.25%
E)31.25%
Rationale: Assume original length = 100m by 50m
original area = 100*50= 5000
15% increase on each side
l = 100 + 15 = 115
w = 50 + 7.5 = 57.5
new area = 115*57.5= 6612.5
increase in area = 6612.5 - 5000 = 1612.5
%increase =21%

Question: Laura has a deck of standard playing cards with 12 of the 60 cards designated as aheart.If Laura shuffles the deck thoroughly and then deals 10 cards off the top of the deck, what is the probability that the 10th card dealt is a heart?
Options:
A)1/4
B)1/5
C)5/26
D)12/42
E)13/42
Rationale: No replacement there, 10 cards are dealt and we are asked to find the probability that 10th card is a heart.
If there is no replacement then how is the (P) that the 10th card is 12/60 ??
there are many cases here to be considered here if there is no replacement such as:
H- Denotes heart X-may be any diamond, spade or club.
1. HXXXXXXXXH
2. HHXXXXXXXH
3. HHHXXXXXXH
.
.
.
.
.
9. HHHHHHHHHH
10. XXXXXXXXXH
All cases from 1 to 10 will have different probabilities for heart to be at the 10th place and it will take hell lot of time to calculate all of them.
For according to me the above solution by Ian is only valid if cards are replaced (Every card has a 12/60 = 1/6 chance of being a heart; it doesn't matter if it's the top card in the deck or the tenth card in the deck.)If that's the case that brings back me to my original question ----how do we determine that the cards are replaced or not?? based on the question given ....

Question: how many four digits numbers are formed such that the digits are in decreasing order
Options:
A)210
B)220
C)230
D)240
E)250
Rationale: START with 3 = 3_ _ _. You can fill in with digits 0,1,2. Hence 3C3 = 1
START with 4 = 4_ _ _. (0,1,2,3). hence 4C3= 4
START with 5, you have (0,1,2,3,4) to fill in the blanks behind 5, hence 5C3 = 10
START with 6, 6C3=20
7... = 7C3 = 35
8...=8C3 = 56
9...= 9C3 = 84
so ans=1+4+10+20+35+56+84=210
