Question: On his drive to work, Leo listens to one of three radio stations A, B or E. He first turns to A. If A is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns it to B. If B is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns it to E. If E is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns off the radio. For each station, the probability is 0.30 that at any given moment the station is playing a song Leo likes. On his drive to work, what is the probability that Leo will hear a song he likes?
Options:
A)0.027
B)0.09
C)0.417
D)0.657
E)0.9

Question: A shopkeeper sells two articles at Rs.1000 each, making a profit of 20% on the first article and a loss of 20% on the second article. Find the net profit or loss that he makes?
Options:
A)6%
B)7%
C)8%
D)4%
E)1%
Rationale: SP of first article = 1000
Profit = 20%
CP = (SP)*[100/(100+P)] = 5000/6 = 2500/3
SP of second article = 1000
Loss = 20%
CP = (SP)*[100/(100-L)] = 5000/4 = 1250
Total SP = 2000
Total CP = 2500/3 + 1250 = 6250/3
CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.
Loss = CP-SP = (6250/3)- 2000 = 250/3
Loss Percent = [(250/3)/(6250/3)]*100
=0.04 * 100
= 4%

Question: A local business made a $125,000 profit on its first $1 million in sales and a $80,000 profit on its next $2 million in sales. By approximately what percent did the ratio of profit to sales decrease from the first $1 million in sales to the next $2 million in sales?
Options:
A)100%
B)150%
C)200%
D)250%
E)300%
Rationale: Solution:
This is a percent decrease problem. We will use the formula: percent change = (new – old)/old x 100 to calculate the final answer.
We first set up the ratios of profits to sales. The first ratio will be for the first 1 million in sales, and the second ratio will be for the next 2 million in sales. Because all of the sales are in millions, we do not have to express all the trailing zeros in our ratios.
First 1 Million
profit/sales = 125/1000 = 1/8
Next 2 Million
profit/sales = 8/200 = 2/50
We can simplify each ratio by multiplying each by the LCM of the two denominators, which is 400. Keep in mind that we are able to do this only because our answer choices are expressed in percents.
First 1 Million
royalties/sales = (1/8) x 400 = 50
Next 2 Million
royalties/sales = (2/50) x 400 = 16
We can plug 5 and 6 into our percent change formula:
(new – old)/old x 100
[(16 – 50)/16] x 100
=-34/16 x 100 so approximately a 200% decrease.

Question: A college has raised 75% of the amount it needs for a new building by receiving an average donation of Rs. 600 from the people already solicited. The people already solicited represent 60% of the people the college will ask for donations. If the college is to raise exactly the amount needed for the new building, what should be the average donation from the remaining people to be solicited?
Options:
A)Rs 300
B)Rs 250
C)Rs 400
D)Rs 500
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
Let x be the total no. of people the college will ask for donation.
The people already solicited 0.6x.
Amount raised from the people solicited 600 x 0.6x = 360x.
Now, 360 constitutes 75% of the amount.
Hence, the remaining 25% = 120x.
Hence, the average donation from remaining people
= 120x / 0.4x = 300.

ii. 1>Y>X
iii. Y>X>1
Options:
A)i only
B)option ii only
C)i and ii only
D)ii and iii only
E)i and ii only
Rationale: X#X = 2X-X^2 and Y#Y=2Y-Y^2
X#X <Y#X
=> 2X - X^2 < 2Y - Y^2
=> 2(X-Y) < (X-Y)(X+Y)
=> X+Y>2 and X-Y>0 or X+Y<2 and X-Y<0
=> X+Y>2 and X>Y or X+Y<2 and X<Y
Using (i), if 1>X>Y, then the first case applies but X+Y>2 is not satisfied. False.
Using (ii), if 1>Y>X, then the second case applies and X+Y<2 is satisfied. True.
Using (iii), if Y>X>1, then the second case applies but X+Y<2 is not satisfied. False.

Question: There are 5 locks and 5 keys and each of the 5 keys matches each of the 5 locks. What is the minimum and the maximum trial numbers of attempts F needed to confirm that each of the 5 keys matches each of the 5 locks?
Options:
A)5,15
B)4,15
C)5,10
D)4,10
E)5,20
Rationale: Assume you have locks 1-5 and keys A-E.
Minimum: assume you are lucky to find the correct key/combo on the first try. So, 1 -> A, 2 -> B, 3 ->C, and 4 -> D, then 5 must match with E. Therefore, you only need to try 4 combos at a minimum.
Maximum: assume that it takes as many guesses as possible. So, with the first key you try A, B, C, and D with no success, therefore E must be the match (so 4 attempts). For key 2 you no longer have E available so you try A, B, and C, with no success, therefore D must be the match (3 attempts). And so on for key 3 (2 attempts) and key 4 (1 attempt). Key 5 matches with the remaining lock for a total of F= 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 attempts.D
Answer: D
Question: Each of three investments has a 20% of becoming worthless within a year of purchase, independently of what happens to the other two investments. If Simone invests an equal sum K in each of these three investments on January 1, the approximate chance that by the end of the year, she loses no more than 1/3 of her original investment is
Options:
A)90%
B)80%
C)70%
D)60%
E)40%
Rationale: The problem asks for the approximate chance that no more than 1/3 of the original investment is lost. We can apply the “1 – x” technique: what’s the chance that more than 1/3 of the original investment is lost? There are two outcomes we have to separately measure:
(a) All 3 investments become worthless.
(b) 2 of the 3 investments become worthless, while 1 doesn’t.
Outcome (a): The probability is (0.2)(0.2)(0.2) = 0.008, or a little less than 1%.
Outcome (b): Call the investments X, Y, and Z. The probability that X retains value, while Y and Z become worthless, is (0.8)(0.2)(0.2) = 0.032. Now, we have to do the same thing for the specific scenarios in which Y retains value (while X and Z don’t) and in which Z retains value (while X and Y don’t). Each of those scenarios results in the same math: 0.032. Thus, we can simply multiply 0.032 by 3 to get 0.096, or a little less than 10%.
The sum of these two probabilities is 0.008 + 0.096 = 0.104, or a little more than 10%. Finally, subtracting from 100% and rounding, we find that the probability we were looking for is approximately 90%.
The correct answer is A.
This problem illustrates the power of diversification in financial investments. All else being equal, it’s less risky to hold a third of your money in three uncorrelated (independent) but otherwise equivalent investments than to put all your eggs in one of the baskets. That said, be wary of historical correlations! Housing price changes in different US cities were not so correlated—and then they became highly correlated during the recent housing crisis (they all fell together), fatally undermining spreadsheet models that assumed that these price changes were independent.
Answer: A
Question: A man is walking at the rate of 6 km/hr crosses a bridge in 15 minutes. The length of the bridge is
Options:
A)1000 meters
B)1050 meters
C)1200 meters
D)1500 meters
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
We need to get the answer in meters. So we will first of change distance from km/hour to meter/sec by multiplying it with 5/18 and also change 15 minutes to seconds by multiplying it with 60.
Speed=6âˆ—5/18=5/3m/sec
Time=15âˆ—60seconds=900seconds
Distance=Timeâˆ—Speed/Distance=5/3âˆ—900=1500meter
Option D
Answer: D
Question: if a three-digit number is selected at random from the integers 100 to 999, inclusive, what is the probability that the first digit and the last digit of the integer will both be exactly two less than the middle digit?
Options:
A)1:900
B)7:900
C)1:1,000
D)1:100
E)7:100
Rationale: There are 900 numbers between 100 and 999 (inclusive).
Numbers of the form ABA are: 131, 242,353,464,575,686,797 = total 7
Thus the probability asked = 7/900
B is the correct answer.
Answer: B
Question: Anil purchased 30 kg of wheat at the rate of Rs. 22 per kg and 20 kg of wheat at the rate of Rs. 24 per kg. He mixed the two. Approximately at what rate per kg should he sell the mixture to make 25% profit?
Options:
A)Rs. 25
B)Rs. 28.5
C)Rs. 30
D)Rs. 32.5
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Total quantity of mixture = 30 + 20 = 50 kg.
By earning a profit of 25% on the total cost, the selling price of the mixture is
125/100 * (660 + 480 = 1140) = Rs. 1425
Selling price per kg = Total selling price / Total of mixture
= 1425 / 50
= Rs. 28.5
