Question: In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for?
Options:
A)160
B)175
C)180
D)195
E)215
Rationale: Suppose the man works overtime for x hours.
Now, working hours in 4 weeks = (5 X 8 X 4) = 160.
160 X 2.40 + x X 3.20 = 432
3.20 X = 432 - 384 = 48
x = 15.
Hence, total hours of work = (160 + 15) = 175

Question: How many diagonals does a 60-sided convex polygon have?
Options:
A)960
B)1280
C)1710
D)2560
E)3420
Rationale: A 60-sided convex polygon has 60 vertices.
If we examine a single vertex, we can see that we can connect it with 57 other vertices to create a diagonal. Note that we can't connect the vertex to itself and we can't connect it to its adjacent vertices, since this would not create a diagonal.
If each of the 60 vertices can be connected with 57 vertices to create a diagonal then the total number of diagonals would be (60)(57) = 3420
However, we must recognize that we have counted every diagonal twice.
To account for counting each diagonal twice, we must divide 3420 by 2 to get 1710.
The answer is C.
Answer: C

D)32
E)64
Rationale: The solution offered counted it differently.
So I just want to clear it up whether I am also thinking in the right direction.
Number of subset
Since we have 5 digits other than 0, we can take any numbers from the set of 5 to make a subset. Also it is a matter of selection and not arrangement.So we will consider combinations.
5c1+5c2+5c3+5c4+5c5=31
And one set is the NULL set having no elements in it so
31+1=32

Question: If a coin is tossed three times, what is the probability that on the first toss the coin lands heads, on the second toss the coin lands tails, and on the third toss the coin lands heads.
Options:
A)1/2
B)1/8
C)1/4
D)3/8
E)1/16
Rationale: Since there are two options for how a coin can land (heads or tails), that means there is a 1/2 chance to land on tails and a 1/2 chance to land heads. To solve this problem you multiply each probability for each flip together. (1/2) chance to land heads the first time * (1/2) chance to land tails the second time * (1/2) chance to land heads the third time = (1/8) chance to land heads the first time, tails the second time, and heads the third time.

Question: A retail item is offered at a discount of a percent (where a > 10), with a 5% state sales tax assessed on the discounted purchase price. If the state sales tax were not assessed, what percent discount from the item’s original retail price, in terms of a, would result in the same final price?
Options:
A)p+5/1.05
B)p/1.05 +5
C)1.05a-5
D)a-5/1.05
E)1.05(a – 5)
Rationale: Let x be the price of the item.
Final price after discount and sales tax = x * (1 - a/100) * 1.05
Let b be the percent discount which would result in the same final price.
Then,
x * (1 - a/100) * 1.05 = x * (1 - b/100)
=> 1.05 - 1.05a/100 = 1 - b/100
=> b/100 = 1.05a/100 - .05
=> b = 1.05a - 5
Hence ,option C is correct.

Question: Ten cards numbered 1 to 10 are placed in a box, mixed up thoroughly and then one card is drawn
randomly. If it is known that the number on the drawn card is more than 3, what is the probability
that it is an even number?
Options:
A)3/7
B)3/11
C)4/7
D)5/8
E)5/9
Rationale: Let A be the event ‘the number on the card drawn is even’ and B be the
event ‘the number on the card drawn is greater than 3’. We have to find P(A|B).
Now, the sample space of the experiment is S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Then A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
and A n B = {4, 6, 8, 10}
Also P(A) = 5/2, P(B) = 7/10 and P(A n B) = 4/10
Then P(A|B) = P(A n B)/P(B) = (4/10)/(7/10)	= 4/7

Question: Two trains move in the same direction at speeds 50 kmph and 32 kmph respectively. A man in the slower train observes that 15 seconds elapse before the faster train completely passes by him. What is the length of faster train?
Options:
A)100m
B)75m
C)120m
D)50m
E)40m
Rationale: As both trains move in same direction, the relative velocity is (50-32)Km/hr
=> Velocity = 18Km/hr = 18*(5/18) m/s = 5m/s
As 15seconds is the total time taken by the train,
=> Length of train = 5*15 = 75m

Answer: B
Question: If –2 < x < 2 and x ≠ 0, which of the following inequalities must be true?
I. x^3 < x
II. x^2 < |x|
III. x^4 – x^5 > x^3 – x^2
Options:
A) I only
B) II only
C) III only
D) II and III only
E) I, II, and III
Rationale: Answer is D. Let's look at the statements one by one
Stmt I. x^3 < x
if 0<x<1 then x^3< x but if -1<x<0 then x^3>x
So this statement is not always true
Stmt II. x^2 < |x|
Because we know that x is a number less than one but not equal to zero then x^2 will always be less than |x|.
Why? think of positive fractions (and you can think in terms of positive fractions because the inequality is in regards to |x|). Lets set x = 1/2, then x^2 = 1/4 and 1/4<1/2
So Stmt II is always true
Stmt III. x^4 – x^5 > x^3 – x^2
This one may seem tricky but lets break it down. x^4 – x^5 > x^3 – x^2 = x^4(1-x)>x^2(x-1).
Because lets concentrate on (1-x) and (x-1). We are given that -1<x<1 which means that (1-x)>0 and (x-1)<0. x^4 will always be positive and x^2 will always be positive so without doing any math we are looking at positive > negative... which is always true.
So Stmt III is always true

Question: The average salary of all the workers in a workshop is Rs. 8000. The average salary of 7 technicians is Rs. 12000 and the average salary of the rest is Rs. 6000. The total number of workers in the workshop is:
Options:
A)21
B)20
C)25
D)30
E)27
Rationale: Let the total number of workers be x. Then,
8000x = (12000 * 7) + 6000(x - 7)
= 2000x = 42000
= x = 21.

Answer: A
Question: Enrollment in City College in 1980 was 210 percent of enrollment in 1990. What was the percent increase in the college’s enrollment from 1980 to 1990?
Options:
A)- 10%
B)- 16 2/3 %
C)- 52.38%
D)- 25%
E)- 183 1/3%
Rationale: Assume 100 enrollments present in 1990
210 % of 1990 = enrollments on 1980
enrollments on 1980 = 210
% change = (enrollment in 1990 - enrollment in 1980)*100/(enrollment in 1980)
=(100 - 210) *100 / 210
= -11000 / 210
= - 52.38 %
Ans - C
Answer: C
Question: Set S is the prime integers between 0 and 30. If three numbers are chosen randomly from set S, what is the probability that the sum of these three numbers is odd?
Options:
A)15/56
B)3/8
C)15/28
D)7/10
E)3/4
Rationale: Total number of combinations=10C3=120...............(1)
Total number of combinations including2and two other numbers=9C2=36......................(2)
Therefore the difference ie. (1)-(2) is the set of 3 primes without 2=(120-36)=84
So, probability=84/120=7/10

B)17800;19800;22500
C)15500;17600;20500
D)16400;17200;18900
E)None of them
Rationale: Ratio of shares of A, Band C = Ratio of their investments
= 120000 : 135000 : 150000 = 8 : 9 : 10.
A’s share = Rs. (56700 x (8/27))= Rs. 16800.
B's share = Rs. ( 56700 x (9/27)) = Rs. 18900.
C's share = Rs. ( 56700 x (10/27))=Rs. 21000.
Answer is A.
