Question: At 3:00 pm, a car has driven 20 miles east. It will continue to drive east at 0.8 minutes per mile and then turn around and drive at 0.8 minutes per mile back to its original starting point. How far can it drive before turning around in order to arrive back to its original starting point by 3:40 pm?
Options:
A)a) 10
B)b) 11
C)c) 12
D)d) 15
E)e) 14
Rationale: 0.8 minutes --> 1 mile
1 minute --> 1/0.8 = 10/8 = 1.25 miles/minute
Distance covered in 40 minutes = 1.25 * 40 = 12.5 * 4 = 50 miles
Distance covered in the current direction = Distance covered from the opposite direction (since car returns back to starting point)
Let x be the miles driven before turning
20 + x = 50 - x
2x = 30
x = 15

Question: Each customer of a networking company subscribes to one of two plans: Plan A or Plan B. Plan A costs $75 per month and Plan B costs $250 per month per customer. If the company’s average revenue per customer per month is $200, then what percent of the company's revenue comes from customers with Plan A?
Options:
A)10.7%
B)30%
C)37.5%
D)56.25%
E)75%
Rationale: If there are A customers with plan A, and B customers with plan B, then the total revenue is $75A + $250B.
Since the average customer pays $100, we know that
$200 = ($75A + $250B) / (A + B)
$200(A + B) = ($75A + $250B)
$200A + $200B = $75A + $250B
$125A = $50B
A = 2/5*B.
Since there are 2/5 times as many $75 clients as $250 clients, for every $250 received from Plan B customers, 2/5*($75) = $30 is received from Plan A customers, and the percent of revenue from customers with Plan A is:
$30/($30 + $250) = $30/$280 = 10.7%.
The correct answer is choice (A).

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)3/5
B)3/7
C)4/7
D)4/9
E)5/3
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: A dishonest dealer claims to sell a product at its cost price. He uses a counterfeit weight which is 20% less than the real weight. Further greed overtook him and he added 30% impurities to the product. Find the net profit percentage of the dealer?
Options:
A)44%
B)40%
C)50%
D)56.25%
E)37.5%
Rationale: The dealer uses weight which is 20% less than the real weight. or (1- 1/5) or 4/5 of real weight.
It means that he is selling $4 worth of product for $5.
The dealer then further added 30% impurities to the product.
It means that he is selling $5 worth of product for $5.5.
So his profit is $5.5-$4 = $1.5
and his profit percent is
(1.5/4)*100 = 37.5%

Question: In an election, candidate A got 65% of the total valid votes. If 15% of the total votes were declared invalid and the total numbers of votes is 560000, find the number of valid vote polled in favor of candidate?
Options:
A)355600
B)355800
C)356500
D)309400
E)357000
Rationale: Total number of invalid votes = 15 % of 560000
= 15/100 × 560000
= 8400000/100
= 84000
Total number of valid votes 560000 – 84000 = 476000
Percentage of votes polled in favour of candidate A = 65 %
Therefore, the number of valid votes polled in favour of candidate A = 65 % of 476000
= 65/100 × 476000
= 30940000/100
= 309400

Question: A man can do a piece of work in 9 days, but with the help of his son he can do it in 3 days. In what time can the son do it alone ?
Options:
A)7 1/2 days
B)6 1/2 days
C)5 1/2 days
D)4 1/2 days
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
In this type of question, where we have one person work and together work done. Then we can easily
get the other person work just by subtracting them. As
Son's one day work =
(1/3−1/9)=(6−2)/18=2/9
So son will do whole work in 9/2 = 4 1/2 days

Question: The average of 20 numbers is zero. Of them, How many of them may be greater than zero, at the most?
Options:
A)1
B)20
C)0
D)19
E)20
Rationale: Explanation:
Average of 20 numbers = 0
=> Sum of 20 numbers/20= =0
=> Sum of 20 numbers = 0
Hence at the most, there can be 19 positive numbers.
(Such that if the sum of these 19 positive numbers is x, 20th number will be- x)

Question: A meal cost $ 48.75 adn there was no tax. If the tip was more than 5 pc but less than 20pc of the price, then the total amount paid should be:
Options:
A)60-65
B)55-58
C)51-59
D)39-41
E)38-40
Rationale: 5%(48.75) = 2.4375
20%(48.75) = 9.75
total amount could have been 48.75+2.4375 and 48.75+9.75
=> could have been between 51.1875 and 58.5
=> approximately between 51 and 59
Answer is C.
Answer: C

Answer: B
Question: The units digit of (35)^(87) + (93)^(46) is:
Options:
A)2
B)4
C)6
D)8
E)0
Rationale: Step 1: (35)^(87) can be broken up into (5)^87 x (7)^87. Each power of 7 ends in a units digit of either a 7,9,3 or 1. Each power of 5 ends in a 5. When you multiply 5 by any odd number you will end up with a units digit of 5.
Step 2: (93)^(46) can be broken up into (3)^46 x (31)^46. Each power of 31 ends in a units digit of 1. Each power of 3 ends in a units digit of either 3,9,7 and 1. Since there is a pattern here where every 4th power of 3 ends in a units digit of 3, the 46th power of 3 would end in a units digit of 9. When you multiply 1 by 9 you end up with a units digit of 9.
Therefore, the units digit we are looking for is 5 + 9 = 14. Units digit will be 4. Answer B.
Answer: B
Question: Maths, Physics and chemistry books are stored on a library shelf that can accommodate 25 books. Currently, 20% of the shelf spots remain empty. There are twice as many maths books as physics books and the number of physics books is 4 greater than that of chemistry books. Among all the books, 12 books are soft cover and the remaining are hard-cover. If there are a total of 7 hard-cover books among the maths and physics books. What is the probability T, that a book selected at random is either a hard cover book or a chemistry book?
Options:
A)1/10
B)3/20
C)1/5
D)1/4
E)9/20
Rationale: First phase of this problem requires you to determine how many mathematics and chemistry books are even on the shelf. To do so, you have the equations:
m + p + c = 20 (since 4/5 of the 25 spots are full of books)
m = 2p
p = 4 + c
From that, you can use Substitution to get everything down to one variable.
c = p - 4
m = 2p
p = p
Then (p - 4) + 2p + p = 20, so 4p = 24 and p = 6. That means that there are 12 math, 6 physics, and 2 chemistry books on the shelf.
With those numbers, you also know that there are 8 total hardcovers, 1 of which is chemistry. So if your goal is to get either a hardcover or a chemistry, there are 9 ways towin- either one of the 7 hardcovers that aren't chemistry or the two chemistry books. So out of the 20 total, T=9 provide the desired outcome, making the answer E.
Answer: E
