Question: The area of the square formed on the diagonal of a rectangle as its side is 108 1/3 % more than the area of the rectangle. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 28 units, find the difference between the sides of the rectangle?
Options:
A)5m
B)3m
C)9m
D)2m
E)4m
Rationale: Let the sides of the rectangle be l and b respectively.
From the given data,
(√l2 + b2) = (1 + 108 1/3 %)lb
=> l2 + b2 = (1 + 325/3 * 1/100)lb
= (1 + 13/12)lb
= 25/12 lb
=> (l2 + b2)/lb = 25/12
12(l2 + b2) = 25lb
Adding 24lb on both sides
12l2 + 12b2 + 24lb = 49lb
12(l2 + b2 + 2lb) = 49lb
but 2(l + b) = 28 => l + b = 14
12(l + b)2 = 49lb
=> 12(14)2 = 49lb
=> lb = 48
Since l + b = 14, l = 8 and b = 6
l - b = 8 - 6 = 2m.

Question: One pump drains one-half of a pond in 6 hours, and then a second pump starts draining the pond. The two pumps working together finish emptying the pond in one-half hour. How long would it take the second pump to drain the pond if it had to do the job alone?
Options:
A)1 hour
B)1.09 hour
C)3 hours
D)5 hours
E)6 hours
Rationale: The tricky part here, I believed is one half hour = 1/2. Then everything would be easy.
We have the 1st pump working rate/hour = 1/2 :6 = 1/12
Working rate of 2 pumps: 1/2 : 1/2 = 1.
Working rate of 2nd pump: 1 -1/12= 11/12 --> Time taken for the 2nd pump to finish: 1 : 11/12 = 12/11 = 1.09 hours.

Question: A farmer had d animals, all of which the farmer bought for the same price. The farmer decided to sell the animals. 14 of the animals were sold at a profit of 10% each while the rest were sold at a loss of 20% each. Overall, the farmer made neither a profit nor a loss. Which of the following is equal to d?
Options:
A)21
B)24
C)27
D)33
E)36
Rationale: Let P be the price the farmer paid for each animal.
The total profit on the 14 animals is 14*0.1*P.
The total loss on the other (d-14) animals is (d-14)*0.2*P.
(d-14)*0.2*P = 14*0.1*P
0.2*d = 1.4 + 2.8
d = 21

Options:
A)10
B)20
C)30
D)40

Rationale: I think we can use double-matrix method and solve using only one variable.
Our goal is to find the number of hardcover nonfiction books. Let that number be x. We are given that all 140 books are either paperback fiction, paperback nonfiction, or hardcover nonfiction. This implies that number of hardcover fiction books is 0.
Double-matrix: P = paperback; H = hardcover; F = fiction; NF = nonfiction
P H Total
F 2x+40 0
NF x+20 x
Total 3x+60 x 180
3x + 60 + x = 180

Question: At an upscale fast-food restaurant, Shin can buy 3 burgers, 7 shakes, and one cola for $120. At the same place it would cost $162.50 for 4 burgers, 10 shakes, and one cola. How much would it cost for a meal of one burger, one shake, and one cola?
Options:
A)$21
B)$35
C)$31
D)$41
E)It cannot be determined
Rationale: let's suppose that the price of a burger is BB, of a shake - SS and that of a cola is CC. We can then construct these equations:
3B+7S+C=120
4B+10S+C=162.5
Subtracting the first equation from the second gives us B+3S=42.5
Now if we subtract the new equation two times from first or 3 times from second we will get B+S+C=35. In any case, there is no necessity to know each item's price, just the sum.

Question: The captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 25 years old and the wicket keeper is 3 years older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is one year less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team?
Options:
A)20 years
B)21 years
C)22 years
D)23 years
E)24 years
Rationale: Explanation:
Let the average age of the whole team by x years.
11x â€“ (25 + 28) = 9(x -1)
11x â€“ 9x = 44
2x = 44
x = 22.
So, average age of the team is 22 years.

Question: The cost of 10 kg of apples is equal to the cost of 24 kg of rice. The cost of 6 kg of flour equals the cost of 2 kg of rice. The cost of each kg of flour is Rs.20.50. Find the total cost of 4 kg of apples, 3 kg of rice and 5 kg of flour?
Options:
A)Rs.849.40
B)Rs.877.40
C)Rs.901.60
D)Rs.815.20
E)None of these
Rationale: Let the costs of each kg of apples and each kg of rice be Rs.a and Rs.r respectively.
10a = 24r and 6 * 20.50 = 2r
a = 12/5 r and r = 61.5
a = 147.6
Required total cost = 4 * 147.6 + 3 * 61.5 + 5 * 20.5
= 590.4 + 184.5 + 102.5 = Rs.877.40
ANSWER:B
Answer: B
Question: A customer using a certain telephone calling plan pays a fee of $25 per month, and then receives a discount of 40% on the regular charge for all calls made to country Z. If calls to country Z are regularly charged at $1.60 per minute for the first 3 minutes, and $0.80 per minute for each minute thereafter, what is the maximum the customer could have saved over regular prices if he was charged for 1 hour of calls made to country Z in a certain month?
Options:
A)$8.75
B)$12
C)$13.40
D)$17.40
E)$24.40
Rationale: Discount = 40% of spending
We want to maximise discount so we will need to maximise spending. We do that by assuming that 60 calls were made of 1 min each because the first minute is the most expensive.
Max discount = (40/100)* 60 * 1.6 = (40/100)*96
This would be slightly less than 40. About 38 to 39.
Saving = (Slightly less than 40) - 25 = Slightly less than 15 charged in Z country
Answer (C)
Answer: C
Question: A circular rim 28 inches in a diameter rotates the same number of inches per second as a circular rim 35 inches in diameter. If the smaller rim makes E revilutions per second, how many revilutions per minute does the larger rim makes in terms of E?
Options:
A)a) 48pi/E
B)b) 75m
C)c) 48E
D)d) 24E
E)e) E/75
Rationale: distance covered by a circular wheel per sec* = 2*pi* r * n
where n is number of revolution
So we know the smaller rim makes E rev per sec so the inches coverd SR per sec = 28 * pi* E
the problem the say SR rotates the same number of inches as the LR.
The inches covered by the LR per sec = 35 * pi*Y
So equate both u will get Y = 4/5 E
Theis is in sec we need the answer in min so 48E
answer is C
Answer: C
Question: Let the polynomials be:
P1(x)=3x2−7x+6,
P2(x)=−5x2−4x+2,
P1(x)+P2(x)=
Options:
A)2x2 + 11x - 7
B)-2x2 - 11x + 8
C)-2x2 - 11x + 6
D)2x2 - 9x + 7
E)None of these
Rationale: Solution:
P1(x)+P2(x)=(3x2−7x+6)+(−5x2−4x+2)=P1(x)+P2(x)=(3x2−7x+6)+(−5x2−4x+2)=
3x2−7x+6−5x2−4x+2=3x2−7x+6−5x2−4x+2=
−2x2−11x+8

Answer: B
Question: At a certain supplier, a machine of type A costs $30,000 and a machine of type B costs $65,000. Each machine can be purchased by making a 20 percent down payment and repaying the remainder of the cost and the finance charges over a period of time. If the finance charges are equal to 40 percent of the remainder of the cost, how much less would 2 machines of type A cost than 1 machine of type B under this arrangement?
Options:
A)$6,600
B)$11,200
C)$12,000
D)$12,800
E)$13,200
Rationale: Total Cost of 2 Machines of Type A
= 20% of (Cost of 2 machine A) + remainder + 40 % remainder
= 20% of 30000 + (30000 - 20% of 30000) + 40% of (30000 - 20% of 30000)
= 79200
Total Cost of 1 Machine of Type B
= 20% of (Cost of 1 machine B) + remainder + 40 % remainder
= 20% of 65000 + (65000 - 20% of 65000) + 40% of (65000 - 20% of 65000)
= 85800
Diff = 85800 - 79200 = 6600
Hence, A.
Answer: A
Question: A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 56 years now, the son's age five years back was:
Options:
A)A)14
B)B)67
C)C)56
D)D)89
E)E)23
Rationale: Let the son's present age be x years. Then, (56 - x) = x
2x = 56.
x = 28.
Son's age 5 years back (28 - 5) = 23 years.
