Question: In the rectangular coordinate system Point O has coordinates (0,0) and Point B has coordinates (5,5) and if point A is equidistant from points O and B and the area of the triangle OAB is 16, which of the following are the possible coordinates of point A.
Options:
A)(-2,6)
B)(0,4)
C)(2,-6)
D)(2,6)
E)(4,0)
Rationale: Area.pngSince A is equidistant from points O and B, then it must be somewhere on the green line (perpendicular bisector of OB).
(2,-6) and (2,6) are not on that line. If A is at (0,5) or (5,0), then the area is 1/2*5*5=25/2. Thus A must be at (2,6).

Question: Which of the following CANNOT be the median R of the four consecutive positive integers w, x, y, and z, where w < x < y < z ?
Options:
A)(w+x)/2 - 1
B)(w+z)/2
C)(x+y)/2
D)(y+z)/2 -1
E)(w+x+y+z)/4
Rationale: Using the properties of consecutive positive integers we could right away eliminate B,C and E.
(B) - The average of first and last terms is the median
(C) - For even number of integers, the median is the average of middle terms
(E) - The average is equal to median if the integers are consecutive
Remaining answer choices are A and D.
For A, the average of first two consecutive numbers (w,x) will definitely be less than x making it impossible to be a median R.

Question: John has $1,600 at the beginning of his trip, after spending money, he still has exactly $800 less than he spent on the trip. How much money does John still have?
Options:
A)$200
B)$400
C)$600
D)$800
E)$1,200
Rationale: let the money spent be x
money he is left with after spending = x-800
total money --> x+(x-800) = 1600
solving for x will give x = 1200,
therefore the money he is left with = x-800
= 1200 - 800
= 400

Answer: B
Question: The present ratio of students to teachers at a certain school is 35 to 1. If the student enrollment were to increase by 50 students and the number of teachers were to increase by 5, the ratio of students to teachers would then be 25 to 1. What is the present number of teachers?
Options:
A)5
B)8
C)10
D)12
E)15
Rationale: We are given that the ratio of students to teacher is 35 to 1. We can rewrite this using variable multipliers.
students : teachers = 35x : x
We are next given that student enrollment increases by 50 and the number of teachers increases by 5. With this change the new ratio becomes 25 to 1. We can put all this into an equation:
Students/Teachers  25/1 = (35x + 50)/(x + 5)
If we cross multiply we have:
25(x + 5) = 35x + 50
25x + 125 = 35x + 50
7.5 = x
x~8
Since x is the present number of teachers, currently there are 8 teachers.

Question: Tom, working alone, can paint a room in 6 hours. Peter and John, working independently, can paint the same room in 3 hours and 6 hours, respectively. Tom starts painting the room and works on his own for one hour. He is then joined by Peter and they work together for an hour. Finally, John joins them and the three of them work together to finish the room, each one working at his respective rate. What fraction of the whole job was done by Peter?
Options:
A)1/2
B)1/3
C)1/4
D)2/3
E)2/5
Rationale: Tom paints 1/6 of the room in the first hour.
Tom and Peter paint 1/6+1/3 = 1/2 of the room in the next hour for a total of 4/6.
The three people then paint the remaining 2/6 in a time of (2/6) / (4/6) = 1/2 hours
Peter worked for 3/2 hours so he painted 3/2 * 1/3 = 1/2 of the room.
The answer is A.
Answer: A
Question: A material is purchased for Rs. 600. If one fourth of the material is sold at a loss of 20% and the remaining at a gain of 10%, Find out the overall gain or loss percentage
Options:
A)4 1/2
B)3 1/2
C)2 1/2
D)1 1/2
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
We need to get the Total selling price to solve this question. Because after getting selling price we can get profit or loss, then we can calculate profit% or loss%
So lets solve this:
Price Received by selling one fourth of the material at a loss of 20% =
(1/4) * 600 * (80/100) = Rs. 120
Price Received by remaining material at a gain of 10% =
(3/4) * 600 * (110/100) = Rs. 495 [Note: 1-(1/4) = 3/4]
Total Selling Price = 120 + 465 = Rs. 615
Profit = 615 - 600 = 15
Profit%=(Gain/Cost∗100)%=(15/600∗100)%=5/2%=2 1/2%

Question: Two trains of equal lengths take 10 sec and 15 sec respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each train be 120 m, in what time will they cross other travelling in opposite direction?
Options:
A)76 sec
B)12 sec
C)15 sec
D)14 sec
E)13 sec
Rationale: Speed of the first train = 120/10 = 12 m/sec.
Speed of the second train = 120/5 = 8 m/sec.
Relative speed = 12 + 8 = 20 m/sec.
Required time = (120 + 120)/20 = 12 sec.
Answer: B
Answer: B
Question: A train passes a platform in 18 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)120
B)250
C)260
D)230
E)220
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 = 18
=> 300+L = 15×18 = 270
=> L = 390-270 = 120 meter
Answer is A.

Options:
A)12.4 sec
B)24.3 sec
C)62.4 sec
D)60.1 sec
E)None
Rationale: Sol.
Relative Speed = (45 + 30) km / hr
= (75 x 5 / 18) m/sec
= (125/6) m/sec.
Distance covered = (650+ 650) m = 1300 m.
Required time = (1300 x 6 / 125) sec = 62.4 sec.

Question: How many ways are there for 5 males and 3 females to sit (around a circular table) if no male should sit next to a male (and no female next to female) and Mary wants to sit with her back on the wall?
Options:
A)6
B)12
C)240
D)100
E)720
Rationale: So Mary has her own chair, fixed position. Other two females around the table can sit in 2 ways: the first to the left of Mary and the second to the right or vise-versa. Now, if 5 males will sit between them then no two female or two male will sit next to each other (female-male-female-male-female-male). But these males on their spots can also sit in different ways, namely in 5! different ways, so total 2*5!=240.

Question: There are 6 boxes numbered 1, 2,…,.6. Each box is to be filled up either with a red or a green ball in such a way that at least 1 box contains a green ball and the boxes containing green balls are consecutively numbered. The total number of ways in which this can be done is
Options:
A)55
B)21
C)42
D)51
E)21
Rationale: List down possibilities: From only 1 box all the way to all 6
If only one of the boxes has a green ball, it can be any of the 6 boxes. So, we have 6 possibilities.
If two of the boxes have green balls and then there are 5 consecutive sets of 2 boxes. 12, 23, 34, 45, 56.
If 3 of the boxes have green balls, there are 4 possibilities: 123, 234, 345, 456.
If 4 boxes have green balls, there are 3 possibilities: 1234, 2345, 3456.
If 5 boxes have green balls, there are 2 possibilities: 12345, 23456.
If all 6 boxes have green balls, there is just 1 possibility.
Total number of possibilities = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21.

Question: In what ratio should two varieties of sugar of Rs.18 per kg and Rs.24 kg be mixed together to get a mixture whose cost is Rs.20 per kg?
Options:
A)16.55
B)16.59
C)16.54
D)16.5
E)16.51
Rationale: Let the quantities of A and B mixed be 3x kg and 7x kg.
Cost of 3x kg of A = 9(3x) = Rs. 27x
Cost of 7x kg of B = 15(7x) = Rs. 105x
Cost of 10x kg of the mixture = 27x + 105x = Rs. 132x
Cost of 5 kg of the mixture = 132x/10x (5) = Rs. 66
Profit made in selling 5 kg of the mixture = 25/100 (cost of 5 kg of the mixture) = 25/100 * 66 = Rs. 16.50

Question: A can do a piece of work in 10 days and B can do the same work in 12 days. A and B worked together for 5 days. How many more days are required to complete the remaining work if they work together?
Options:
A)3 (5/18)
B)3 (5/16)
C)3 (5/11)
D)3 (5/13)
E)5/11
Rationale: A can do 1/10 of the work in a day.
B can do 1/12 of the work in a 1 day.
Both of them together can do (1/10 + 1/12) part of work in 1 day = (6 + 5)/60 = 11/60
They take 60/11 days to complete the work together.
Given that they already worked for 5 days.
The number of days required to complete remaining work => 60/11 - 5 = 5/11 = 5/11 days.

Question: The function F is defined for all positive integers n by the following rule: f(n) is the number of position integer each of which is less than n, and has no position factor in common with n other than 3. If p is any prime number then f(p)=
Options:
A)p-1
B)p-2
C)(p+1)/2
D)(p-1)/2
E)2
Rationale: The confusing moment in this question is its wording. Basically question is: how many positive integers are less than given prime number p which has no common factor with p except 1.
Well as p is a prime, all positive numbers less than p have no common factors with p (except common factor 1). So there would be p-1 such numbers (as we are looking number of integers less than p).
If we consider p=7 how many numbers are less than 7 having no common factors with 7: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 --> 7-1=6.

Question: Exactly 28% of the reporters for a certain wire service cover local politics in Country X. If 30% of the reporters who cover politics for the wire service do not cover local politics in Country X, what percent of the reporters for the wire service do not cover politics?
Options:
A)20%
B)42%
C)44%
D)60%
E)84%
Rationale: Let's assume there are 100 reporters --> 28 reporters cover local politics.
Now, as 30% of the reporters who cover all politics do not cover local politics then the rest 70% of the reporters who cover politics do cover local politics, so if there are x reporters who cover politics then 70% of them equal to 28 (# of reporters who cover local politics): 0.7x=28 --> x=40, hence 40 reporters cover politics and the rest 100-40=60 reporters do not cover politics at all.

Question: The no. of gift pack bought by Dexter is 1 more than the price, in rupees, of each gift pack. The amount of Rs.380 which Dexter had, fell short of the required amount. What is theamount by which he might have fallen short.
Options:
A)20
B)40
C)50
D)60
E)90
Rationale: Let the price of gift pack be 'aa'
Then number of packs bought =a+1=a+1
Hence total cost is a(a+1)a(a+1)
It is given that 380<a(a+1)380<a(a+1)
If a=19a=19, the total cost =19×20=380=19×20=380
Dexter would not have fallen short, If:
a=20a=20, a(a+1)=420a(a+1)=420
So he would have fallen short by Rs 40.
This is the minimum amount by which he may have fallen short.

Question: A year ago the proportion between Sham and Amir’s age was 4:3. 1 year hence the proportion of their ages will be 5:4. The total of their current ages is :
Options:
A)16 years
B)17 years
C)18 years
D)19 years
E)20 years
Rationale: A
16 years
A year ago, Sham’s age = 4A years
And, Amir’s age = 3A years
Current age of Sham = (4A + 1) years
Current age of Amir = (3A + 1) years
1 year hence, Sham’s age = (4A + 2) years
and Amir’s age = (3A + 1) years
So,
{ (4A + 2)/(3A +2) } = 5 /4
=> 16 + 8 = 15A + 10
or, A = 2
Total of their current ages = 4A + 1 + 3A + 1
= 7(A) + 2
= 7(2) + 2 = 16 years.

B)0.06%
C)0.6%
D)6%
E)60%
Rationale: We are given that 0.03 ounces of water evaporated EACH DAY. Furthermore, we know that this process happened over a 20-DAY PERIOD. To calculate the total amount of water that evaporated during this time frame we need to multiply 0.01 by 20. This gives us:
0.03 x 20 = 0.6 ounces
Finally, we are asked for “What percent” of the original amount of water evaporated during this period. To determine this percentage, we have to make sure we translate the expression correctly. We can translate it to:
(Amount Evaporated/Original Amount) x 100%
(0.6/10) x 100%
(6/100) x 100% = 6%
Answer D
Answer: D
Question: An investor purchased 100 shares of stock X at 6 1/8 dollars per share and sold them all a year later at 12 dollars per share. If the investor paid a 2 percent brokerage fee on both the total purchase price and the total selling price, which of the following is closest to the investor's percent gain on this investment?
Options:
A)192%
B)94%
C)280%
D)300%
E)380%
Rationale: If the purchase price was 6$ per share then the investor would have made a profit of 100%.
Since the purchase price is slightly more than 6$ the profit would be slightly less than 100%.
Also a 2% brokerage is negligible and it brings down the profit percentage only by a small value. Approximation is very useful to solve these kind of problems as the answer choices are far apart.
Answer:B
Answer: B
Question: The price of a cycle is reduced by 25 per cent. The new price is reduced by a further 70 per cent. The two reductions together are equal to a single reduction of
Options:
A)45%
B)40%
C)35%
D)77.5%
E)30%
Rationale: Price = p
initially price reduced by 25% which means new price is 3/4P
Now on this new price further 70percent is reduced which means the new price is merely 30percent of 3/4P
==> (3/4)x(3/10)P = 9/40P is the new price after both deduction which is 22.5percent of the original value P. This implies this entire series of deduction is worth having discounted 77.5% of P. So answer is D = 77.5%
Answer: D
Question: In a mixture of 13 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 3 : 2. If 3 liters of this mixture is replaced by 3 liters of milk, then what will be the ratio of milk and water in the newly formed mixture?
Options:
A)10 : 3
B)8 : 5
C)9 : 4
D)1 : 1
E)2:3
Rationale: EXPLANATION:
Given: Total quantity of mixture = 13 liters
3 litres of mixture is removed from the container – So, let's forget this altogether!
Now, you are left with only 10 litres of mixture in 3:2 ratio.
Milk in 10 litres mix = 10 x	3/(2+3)= 6 litres
Water in 10 litres mix = 10 x	2/(2+3)= 4 litres
We add 3 litres milk to this.
So, milk in new mix is = 6 liters + 3 litres = 9 litres
Water= 4 litres
Ratio of milk : water = 9 : 4

Question: In a certain random experiment, exactly one of the outcomes A, B, and D will occur. In each random experiment, the probability that outcome A will occur is 1/3 , and the probability that outcome B will occur is 1/3. What is the probability that when the random experiment is conducted 6 independent times, each of outcomes A, B, and D will occur twice?
Options:
A)5/243
B)1/12
C)10/81
D)1/6
E)16/81
Rationale: Number of ways in which a group of 2A,2B,2D can be formed in any order = 6!/(2!*2!*2!) [ formula for total of 6 items with 2 each of similar kind)
Total number of ways in which the die can be thrown independently = _ _ _ _ _ _ ; there are 6 places .First can be filled in 3 different ways A/B/D; Second in 3 diff ways again and so on.
So total number of ways = 3X3X3X3X3X3 = 3^6
There fore probability = 6!/(2!x2!x2!) by 3^6 = 90/3^6 = 10/81 Answer C

Answer: E
Question: 39 persons can repair a road in 12 days, working 5 hours a day. In how many days will 30 persons, working 3 hours a day, complete the work?
Options:
A)10
B)26
C)14
D)15
E)16
Rationale: Let the required number of days be x.
Less persons, More days (Indirect Proportion)
More working hours per day, Less days (Indirect Proportion)
Persons	30	:	39	:: 12 : x
Working hours/day	3	:	5
30 x 3 x x = 39 x 5 x 12
x =	(39 x 5 x 12)/(30 x 3)
x = 26.
