Question: 45 litres of diesel is required to travel 600 km using a 800 cc engine. If the volume of diesel required to cover a distance varies directly as the capacity of the engine, then how many litres of diesel is required to travel 800 km using 1200 cc engine?
Options:
A)80 litres
B)90 litres
C)120 litres
D)170 litres
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanatory Answer
To cover a distance of 800 kms using a 800 cc engine, the amount of diesel required = 800/600*45 = 60 litres.
However, the vehicle uses a 1200 cc engine and the question states that the amount of diesel required varies directly as the engine capacity.
i.e., for instance, if the capacity of engine doubles, the diesel requirement will double too.
Therefore, with a 1200 cc engine, quantity of diesel required = 1200/800*60 = 90 litres.

Question: Rahul went to a shop and bought things worth Rs. 25, out of which 30 Paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Options:
A)19.7
B)19.9
C)20.9
D)21.9
E)22
Rationale: Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25
Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax
=> Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = Rs.30/100
Let the cost of the tax free items = x
Given that tax rate = 6%
∴ (25−30/100−x)6/100 = 30/100
⇒ 6(25 −0.3 −x) = 30
⇒ (25 − 0.3 − x) = 5
⇒ x = 25 − 0.3 − 5 = 19.7

Options:
A)2500
B)2700
C)2900
D)3100
E)3500
Rationale: Explanation:
Total number of votes = 7500
Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid
=> Valid votes = 80%
Total valid votes = 7500 X80/100
1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.
Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes
=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x 45/100
=7500 X 80/100 X 45/100 =2700

Question: The speed of a train that is 250 meter in length passing from a railway platform is 150 km/hour. The length of platform is 500 meter. What is the time taken by the train to cross the platform?
Options:
A)1 minute
B)2 minute
C)3 minute
D)4 minute
E)5 minute
Rationale: The time starts when the head of first compartment enters the platform from one side. To cover platform, the train has to cover its own length plus the length of the compartment, that is 250 meter + 500 meter = 750 meter. To cover 150 km or 150x1000 meter=15000 meter, train takes 60 minutes or 60x60=3600 seconds. Therefore, to cover 750 meter, the train would take 180 seconds or 3 minutes.

Question: What is the remainder when 1044 * 1047 * 1050 * 1053 is divided by 33?
Options:
A)3
B)27
C)30
D)21
E)18
Rationale: Explanatory Answer
Useful result pertaining to remainders
You can solve this problem if you know this rule about remainders.
Let a number x divide the product of A and B.
The remainder will be the product of the remainders when x divides A and when x divides B.
Using this rule,
The remainder when 33 divides 1044 is 21.
The remainder when 33 divides 1047 is 24.
The remainder when 33 divides 1050 is 27.
The remainder when 33 divides 1053 is 30.
∴ the remainder when 33 divides 1044 * 1047 * 1050 * 1053 is 21 * 24 * 27 * 30.
Note: The remainder when a number is divided by a divisor 'd' will take values from 0 to (d - 1). It cannot be equal to or more than 'd'.
The value of 21 * 24 * 27 * 30 is more than 33.
When the value of the remainder is more than the divisor, final remainder will be the remainder of dividing the product by the divisor.
i.e., the final remainder is the remainder when 33 divides 21 * 24 * 27 * 30.
When 33 divides 21 * 24 * 27 * 30, the remainder is 30.

Question: 5/4 of all married couples have more than one child. 2/5 of all married couples have more than 3 children. What fraction of all married couples have 2 or 3 children?
Options:
A)1/5
B)1/4
C)17/20
D)3/5
E)It cannot be determined from the given information.
Rationale: Plug in simple numbers. Take 100 couples for example.
5/4 of 100 couples have more than one child = 125 couples.
2/5 of 100 couples have more than 3 kids = 40 couples.
This implies that 40 couples are a subset of 125 couples
We need to find couples that have 2 or 3 kids, so essentially, it is 125 - 40 = 85. Fraction will be 85/100 = 17/20.

Options:
A)1/3
B)2/3
C)1
D)3/2
E)3
Rationale: I also soved it, but a bit differently. Thank you for reminding me of this much easier and logical way!
What I did was to test powers of 3 that would lead to 9.
So, we have 3 raised to the same power 3 times and 9 raised to another power one time: 3^m3^m3^m = 9^n
What I did was test 3 raised to the power of 2 like this:
3^2*3^2*3^2 = 9*9*9 = 9^3. This means that m=2 and n=3. So, m/n=3/2.

Answer: B
Question: A clock store sold a certain clock to a collector for 30 percent more than the store had originally paid for the clock. When the collector tried to resell the clock to the store, the store bought it back at 60 percent of what the collector had paid. The shop then sold the clock again at a profit of 90 percent on its buy-back price. If the difference between the clock's original cost to the shop and the clock's buy-back price was $150, for how much did the shop sell the clock the second time?
Options:
A)$1010.46
B)$505.23
C)$2020.92
D)$800.46
E)$1515.69
Rationale: Now, in the question above, lets say the original cost of the clock to store was C$ and then it sold the same to the collector at 30% profit.
This means the clocks' selling price was C (1.3) and this becomes cost price for the collector.
Now, when the collector tries to sell the same clock to the store, the store buys it for 60% the price at which the collector bought it.
Thus, you get = 1.3*0.6*C = 0.78 C
Furthermore, the store sells the clock for the second time for 90% profit and thus the selling price of the clock becomes = cost price of the clock for the store at buy-back * 1.9 = 1.9 * 0.78 C
Finally given that C - 0.78 C = 150 ----> C = 681.82$
Thus, the cost of the clock the second time around = 1.9*0.78 C = 1.9 * 0.78 * 681.82 = 1010.46$. Hence A is the correct answer.

Question: A die is thrown twice and the sum of the numbers appearing is observed to be 6.
find the conditional probability that the number 4 has appeared at least once?
Options:
A)1/5
B)1/4
C)2/5
D)3/7
E)3./11
Rationale: Let E be the event that ‘number 4 appears at least once’ and F be
the event
that ‘the sum of the numbers appearing is 6’.
Then, E = {(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (1,4), (2,4), (3,4),
(5,4), (6,4)}
and F = {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1)}
We have P(E) = 11/36
and P (F) = 5/36
Also EnF = {(2,4), (4,2)}
Therefore P(EnF) = 2/36
the required probability
P(E|F) = P(EnF)/P(F) = (2/36)/(5/36) = 2/5.

Rationale: [[y(150)(1.8)+y(100)(1.2)+y(150)(0.6)]/400y] - 1
[50[(3)(1.8) + (2)(1.2) + (3)(0.6)] / (50)(8)] - 1
[(5.4 + 2.4 + 1.8)/8] - [8/8]
+1.6/8
+20%

Question: Factory X's bulbs work for over 4000 hours in 59% of cases, whereas factory Y's bulbs work for over 4000 hours in 65% of cases. It is known that factory X supplies 60% of the total bulbs available. What is the chance that a purchased bulb will work for longer than 4000 hours?
Options:
A)66.4%
B)61.4%
C)77.4%
D)65%
E)53.9%
Rationale: For X, 60% of 59% will work.
For Y, 40% of 65% will work. *40% is the rest of the bulb supply in the market.
So, the probability that a purchased bulb will work is:
0.60(0.59) = .354
0.40(0.65) = 0.26
The combined probability then is 35.4 + 26.00 = 61.4%
