Question: An investment yielded an interest payment of $350 each month when the annual interest rate was 9%, what is the amount of the investment that should be invested with an annual interest rate of 8% if We want to gain 15% more each month?
Options:
A)$60,375
B)$50,400
C)$41,300
D)$32,500
E)$25,100
Rationale: An investment yielded an interest payment of $350 each month when the annual interest rate was 9%, what is the amount of the investment that should be invested with an annual interest rate of 8% if We want to gain 15% more each month?
Based on first statement the total interest earned = 350 * 12 = Principal * interest rate(9/100)
No need to solve for principal here, just continue....
So find the new principal for revised interest rate and 10% more interest, so 350 * 12 * 1.15 = Principal * interest rate (8/100)
solving for Principal = 60,375
Answer is A : 60,375

Question: Gabriela’s grade was in the 90th percentile out of 100 grades in her class. In another class of 100 students there were 80 grades lower than Gabriela’s. If nobody had Gabriela’s grade, then Gabriela was what percentile of the two classes combined?
Options:
A)90
B)85
C)80
D)75
E)70
Rationale: Being in 90% percentile out of 100 grades means was 91st (from the least grade) in the class (as long as nobody had Gabriela 's grades), she outscored 90.
In another class her grade would rank her 61 (from the least grade out of 101, 100+ Gabriela), 60 had the grades lower than Gabriela.
So in combined classes she outscored 90+60=150. There are 200 students 150/200=0.75
Answer: D (75%)
Generally being in x% means that x% has the grades less than you.
Gabriela in 90% --> she outscored 90% of of 100=90 (Gabriela is 91st).
Of the 100 grades from another class, 60 were lower than Gabriela, hence Gabriela outscored 60.
So out of total 100+100=200, Gabriela outscored 90+60=150. Hence she is in 150/200=75%.

Question: It is decided to construct a 2 metre broad pathway around a rectangular plot on the inside. If the area of the plots is 96 sq.m. and the rate of construction is Rs. 50 per square metre., what will be the total cost of the construction?
Options:
A)Rs.3500
B)Rs. 4200
C)Insufficient Data
D)Rs. 4400
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation : Let length and width of the rectangular plot be l and b respectively
Total area of the rectangular plot = 96 sq.m.
=> lb = 96
Width of the pathway = 2 m
Length of the remaining area in the plot = (l - 4)
breadth of the remaining area in the plot = (b - 4)
Area of the remaining area in the plot = (l - 4)(b - 4)
Area of the pathway
= Total area of the rectangular plot - remaining area in the plot
= 96 - [(l - 4)(b - 4)] = 96 - [lb - 4l - 4b + 16] = 96 - [96 - 4l - 4b + 16] = 96 - 96 + 4l + 4b - 16
= 4l + 4b - 16
= 4(l + b) - 16
We do not know the values of l and b and hence area of the pathway cannot be found out. So we cannot determine total cost of the construction. Answer : Option C

B)b) 36m178m
C)c) 50m45m
D)d) 100/3 m200/3
E)e) none of these
Rationale: Hi Math gurus correct me if I am wrong. I wondered i reached the answer mentioned here i.e 100m and 25m
lets solve it
To find out length of train the train, which is must cover the static point of the man as well as the distance covered the man during 12 sec.
The man covered the distance during 12sec is 5*5/50*12=6m so the train covered a distance in 12 sec= 25*5/50*12=30
so the length of the train(Lt) is 6+30=36m
Now crossing the platform means length of train+length of platform(Lt+p)= 50*25*5/50=125m Now the length of platform (Lp) is= 125-36=89m
So answer is 36m and 89m Must beBeven though its mentioned 36m and 178m thinking so typo mistake...........

Question: There are 4 baskets. The first basket has 3 apples and 4 oranges, the second one has 4 apples and 5 mangoes, the third one has 6 Mangoes and 2 bananas and the last one has 7 bananas and 2 apples. If a fruit is randomly chosen from any basket and it comes out to be an apple, then what is the probability that it was taken out from the second basket?
Options:
A)27/69
B)28/69
C)29/69
D)25/69
E)28/64
Rationale: P(A|1)=3/7
P(A|2)=4/9
P(A|3)=0/8
P(A|4)=2/9
Hence event 1,2,3,4 are the partitions of the sample space.
The probability of choosing an apple, by the law of total probability
P(A)=P(A|1)P(1)+P(A|2)P(2)+P(A|3)P(3)+P(A|4)P(4)
=3/7*1/4+4/9*1/4+0/8*1/4+2/9*1/4
=23/84
By Baye's theorem,
P(2|A)=P(A|2)*P(2)/P(A)
=4/9*(1/4)/(23/84)
=28/69
