Question: A biker covered half the distance between two towns in 2 hr 30 min. After that he increased his speed by 2 km/hr. He covered the second half of the distance in 2 hr 20 min. Find the distance between the two towns and the initial speed of the biker.
Options:
A)140
B)120
C)130
D)150
E)160
Rationale: Let x km/hr be the initial speed of the biker, then his speed during the second part of the trip is x + 2 km/hr. Half the distance between two cities equals 23060⋅x km and 22060⋅(x+2) km. From the equation: 23060⋅x=22060⋅(x+2) we get x=28 km/hr.
The intial speed of the biker is 28 km/h.
Half the distance between the two towns is
2h30min×28=2.5×28=70.
So the distance is 2×70=140 km.

Options:
A)32
B)24
C)12
D)7
E)45
Rationale: Answer: Option B
Let the ten's and unit's digit be x and 8/x respectively.
Then,

9x2 + 18x - 72 = 0
x2 + 2x - 8 = 0
(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0
x = 2
So, ten's digit = 2 and unit's digit = 4.
Hence, required number = 24.

Question: Working together, Tim and Tom can type 12 pages in one hour. If they would be able to type 15 pages in one hour if Tom increases his typing speed by 30%, what is the ratio of Tom's normal typing speed to that of Tim?
Options:
A)1/5
B)5/1
C)4/1
D)1/4
E)1/3
Rationale: Lets say Tim types x pages an hour and Tom types y pages an hour.
We know that x+y=12
Tom increase speed by 30% means he will type 1.3 y pages an hour.
So we get x+1.3 y=15
We need to know the ratio of Tom's speed to Tim's speed. This is going to be proportional to the number of pages each can type in an hour, hence (y/x).
Subtracting both : 0.3 y=3 so y=10 ... so x=2
(y/x)=10/2 =5/1

Options:
A)12
B)18
C)32
D)40
E)44
Rationale: Lets take numbers here.
Assume that the total number of movie theaters in the town = 100
Then number of movie theaters with 3 screens or less = 60
=> Number of movie theaters with 4 screens or more = 40
Movie theaters with 3 screens or less selling popcorn at more than $200 = 20% of 60 = 12
Number of movie theaters selling popcorn at $300 or less = 56
=> Number of movie theaters selling popcorn at more than $300 = 100-56 = 44
Of these 44 theaters, 12 are those with 3 screens or less
Therefore 18 (44-12) must be those with four screens or more

Question: At the end of the day, February 14th, a florist had 120 roses left in his shop, all of which were red, white or pink in color and either long or short-stemmed. A third of the roses were short-stemmed, 20 of which were white and 10 of which were pink. The percentage of pink roses that were short-stemmed equaled the percentage of red roses that were short-stemmed. If none of the long-stemmed roses were white, what percentage of the long-stemmed roses were red?
Options:
A)20%
B)50%
C)55%
D)75%
E)80%
Rationale: R + W + P = 120
S + L = 120
1/3 * 120 = 40
Short-Stemmed White = 20
Short-Stemmed Pink = 10
=> Short-Stemmed Red =10
10/P =10/R
=> R = P
So Total Long Stemmed = 80
And Long Stemmed Red + Long Stemmed Pink = 80
So Long Stemmed Red/Long Stemmed = ?
Total White = 20 (As no Long stemmed white)
=> R + R + 20 = 120
=> 2R = 100 and R = 50
Long Stemmed R = 50 - 10 = 40
So Long Stemmed Red/R = 40/80 = 50%

Question: For an integer n greater than 1, n* denotes the product of all the integers from 1 to n inclusive. How many prime numbers are there between 7*+2 and 7*+7, exclusive ?
Options:
A)5
B)1
C)None of the above
D)3
E)4
Rationale: Given that n* denotes the product of all the integers from 1 to n, exclusive so, 7* + 3 = 7! + 3 and 7* + 6 = 7! + 6.
Now, notice that we can factor out 3 our of 7! + 3 so it cannot be a prime number, we can factor out 4 our of 7! + 4 so it cannot be a prime number, ... The same way for all numbers between 7! + 3 and 7! +6, inclusive. Which means that there are no primes in this range.

Question: The number of stamps that Kaye and Alberto had were in the ration of 6:4 respectively. After Kaye gave Alberto 5 of her stamps, the ration of the number of Kaye had to the number of Alberto had was 8:6. As a result of the gift, Kaye had how many more stamps than Alberto ?
Options:
A)22
B)25
C)15
D)35
E)30
Rationale: K1 = 6x
A1 = 4x
K2 = 6x - 5
A2 = 4x + 5
K2/A2 = 8/6
(6x-5)/(4x+5) = 8/6
6*(6x-5) = 8*(4x+5)
36x - 30 = 32x + 40
4x = 70
x = 17.5
K2 = 6*17.5 -5 = 100
A2 = 4*17.5 + 5 =75
K2 - A2 = 100-75=25
