Question: A certain club has 10 members, including Harry. One of the 10 members is to be chosen at random to be the president, one of the remaining 9 members is to be chosen at random to be the secretary, and one of the remaining 8 members is to be chosen at random to be the treasurer. What is the probability that Harry will be either the member chosen to be the president or the member chosen to be the treasurer?
Options:
A) 1/720
B) 1/80
C) 2/10
D) 1/9
E) 1/6
Rationale: This question is much easier than it appears.
Each member out of 10, including Harry, has equal chances to be selected for any of the positions (the sequence of the selection is given just to confuse us). The probability that Harry will be selected to be the president is 1/10 and the probability that Harry will be selected to be the treasurer is also 1/10. So, the probability that Harry will be selected to be either the president or the the treasurer is 1/10+1/10=2/10.

Question: If equal numbers of people are born on each day, find the approximate percentage of the people whose birthday will fall on 29thFebruary.(if we are to consider people born in 20thcentury and assuming no deaths).
Options:
A)0.374
B)0.5732
C)0.0684
D)None of these
E)Cannot be determined
Rationale: Explanation :
Let the number of people born on each day = n.
Total years in the 20th century = 100.
Total number of leap years (years in which 29th February appear) = 25.
Sample Space (days) = 365*75 + 366*25 = 36525 days.
So, Sample Space (population) = 36525*n
Favourable Set (population) = 25*n
Hence, the required probability = 25 * n /36525*n = 0.000684.
= 0.0684%.

Question: Set A consists of 19 elements. The average of set A is L. If a new element is added to the set and the average grows by K, what is the value of the new element?
Options:
A)a) L(1 + K / 5)
B)b) L * (K/100) - 20L
C)c) 20L(1+K/100)
D)d) 20(1+K/100)-19L
E)e) L*(K/5)-19
Rationale: Let's assume the value of new element to bea. So converting the word problem into equation,
(19*L + a) / (19 + 1) = L + k ==> after solving the equation we will get a (value of newly added element) = L + 20K
But according to the answer options, problem writer wanted to conveyk% percent rise in average value.
If we consider this case than resulting equation will be,
(19*L + a) / ( 19+1 ) = L + (K/100)*L ==> 19L + a = 20 [ L + KL/100]
==> a= 20L + KL/5 -19L
==> a= L + KL/5 , which is equivalent to option [A]

= 58080
Total Cost of 1 Machine of Type B
= 20% of (Cost of 1 machine B) + remainder + 40 % remainder
= 20% of 50000 + (50000 - 20% of 50000) + 40% of (50000 - 20% of 50000)
= 66000
Diff = 66000 - 58080 = 7900

Question: If 6 is one solution of the equation x^2 + 3x + k = 10, where k is a constant, what is the other solution?
Options:
A) -7
B) -4
C) -3
D) -9
E) 6
Rationale: The phrase “6 is one solution of the equation” means that one value of x is 6. Thus, we first must plug 6 for x into the given equation to determine the value of k. So we have
6^2 + (3)(6) + k = 10
36 + 18 + k = 10
54 + k = 10
k = -44
Next we plug -44 into the given equation for k and then solve for x.
x^2 + 3x – 44 = 10
x^2 + 3x – 54 = 0
(x+9)(x-6) = 0
x = -9 or x = 6
Thus, -9 is the other solution. Answer D.

Question: How many liters of water must be evaporated from 50 liters of a 3-percent sugar solution to get a 2-percent solution?
Options:
A)35
B)33 1/3
C)27
D)16 2/3
E)18
Rationale: How many liters of water must be evaporated from 50 liters of a 3-percent sugar solution to get a 2-percent solution?
3% of a 50 liter solution is 1.5L. So you are trying to determine how many liters must a solution be for the 1.5L to represent 2% of the solution. Set up an inequality and solve for x:
1.5/x = 1/2
x = 3
Since you need a 15L solution, you must evaporate 18 of the original 50L solution to get a 2% solution.

Answer: B
Question: Two trains start from P and Q respectively and travel towards each other at a speed of 50 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively. By the time they meet, the first train has traveled 100 km more than the second. The distance between P and Q is?
Options:
A)237
B)278
C)277
D)900
E)261
Rationale: At the time of meeting, let the distance traveled by the second train be x km. Then, distance covered by the first train is (x + 100) km.
x/40 = (x + 100)/50
50x = 40x + 4000 => x = 400
So, distance between P and Q = (x + x + 100)km = 900 km.
