Question: Twice the larger of two numbers is three more than five times the smaller, and the sum of four times the larger and three times the smaller is 71. What are the numbers?
Options:
A)21, 12
B)9, 0
C)15, 6
D)10, 1
E)14, 5
Rationale: the larger number: x
the smaller number: y
twice the larger: 2x
three more than five times the smaller: 5y + 3
relationship between ("is"): 2x = 5y + 3
four times the larger: 4x
three times the smaller: 3y
relationship between ("sum of"): 4x + 3y = 71
Now I have two equations in two variables:
2x = 5y + 3
4x + 3y = 71
I will solve, say, the first equation for x:
x = (5/2)y + (3/2)
Then I'll plug the right-hand side of this into the second equation in place of the "x":
4[ (5/2)y + (3/2) ] + 3y = 71
10y + 6 + 3y = 71
13y + 6 = 71
13y = 65
y = 65/13 = 5
Now that I have the value for y, I can solve for x:
x = (5/2)y + (3/2)
x = (5/2)(5) + (3/2)
x = (25/2) + (3/2)
x = 28/2 = 14

D)3
E)9
Rationale: A number ending in a 0 is divisible by 2. A number ending in 2 zeroes is divisible by 4. A number ending in 3 zeroes is divisible by 8.
Given the obscene number, you should immediately be convinced that you will need to focus on a very small part of it.
445,876,985,420,215,546,656,452 =445,876,985,420,215,546,656,000+452
The first number is divisible by 8. You just have to find the remainder when you divide 452 by 8. That will be the remainder when you divide the original number by 8.
452/8 gives remainder 4.

Question: Rajan got married 8 years ago. His present age is 6/5 times his age at the time of his marriage. Rajan's sister was 10 years younger to him at the time of his marriage. The age of Rajan's sister is?
Options:
A)17 years
B)97 years
C)38 years
D)18 years
E)19 years
Rationale: Let Rajan's present age be x years.

Question: A train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 4.5 km/h. The other one walks at 5.4 km/h. The train needs 8.4 and 8.5 seconds respectively to overtake them. What is the speed of the train if both the persons are walking in the same direction as the train?
Options:
A)66 km/h
B)72 km/h
C)78 km/h
D)81 km/h
E)None of these
Rationale: 4.5 km/h = (4.5 × 5⁄18) m/sec = 1.25 m/sec.
& 5.4 km/h = (5.4 × 5⁄18) m/sec = 1.5 m/sec.
Let the speed of the train be S m/sec.
Then, (S – 1.25) × 8.4 = (S – 1.5) × 8.5
⇒ 8.4S – 10.5 = 8.5S – 12.75 ⇒ 0.1S = 2.25 ⇒ S = 22.5.
∴ Speed of the train = (22.5 × 18⁄5) km/h = 81 km/h

Question: Ramesh and Naresh had a pre-determined number of baskets, at a ratio of 3:1. Ramesh offered 20 of her baskets to Naresh so that the ratio of number of baskets became 8:3. How many more baskets does Ramesh now have than Naresh?
Options:
A)400
B)350
C)250
D)200
E)180
Rationale: Let number of baskets that Ramesh has = R
and number of baskets that Naresh has = N
R/N = 3/1
=>R -3N = 0 --- equation 1
(R-20)/(N+20) = 8/3
=>3R - 60 = 8N+160
=>3R-8N=220 --- equation 2
Multiply equation 1 by 3
3R - 9N = 0
Now , N = 220
R= 660
Number of baskets Ramesh now has more than Naresh = (660-20) - (220+20)
=400

Question: How many times will the digit 3 be written when listing the integers from 1 to 1000?
Options:
A)100
B)200
C)300
D)400
E)500
Rationale: Many approaches are possible. For example:
Consider numbers from 0 to 999 written as follows:
1. 000
2. 001
3. 002
4. 003
...
...
...
1000. 999
We have 1000 numbers. We used 3 digits per number, hence used total of 3*1000=3000 digits. Now, why should ANY digit have preferences over another? We used each of 10 digits equal # of times, thus we used each digit (including 3) 3000/10=300 times.
