6 84-y
Therefore (84-y)/1 = 6/x ………..(2)
Dividing (1) and (2)
=
180 – 3y =840 – 10y
7y = 660
y = 94.2
x = 20/(90-80) = 20/10 = 2 kg
Quantity of zinc in x = 94.2% of x
= 0.942 2
=1.9 kg
Weight and percentage of zinc is 1.9 kg or 94.2%

Question: A man can hit a target once in 6 shots. If he fires 4 shots in succession, how many ways that he will hit his target?
Options:
A)71/234
B)81/133
C)81/343
D)27/56
E)91/324
Rationale: The man will hit the target if he hits it once or twice or thrice or all four times in the four shots that he takes.
So, the only possibility when the man will not hit the target is when he fails to hit the target in even one of the four shots that he takes.
The event of not hitting the target even once is the complement of the event of hitting the target at least once.
The probability that he will not hit the target in any given shot = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6
Therefore, the probability that he will not hit the target in any of the four shots = 5/6^4 =27/56

Question: Patrick and Eric are on the two opposite banks of a river. They both have a rowing boat.
They both start at the same time towards the opposite bank. They pass each other at 180 meters from the bank where Patrick departed. When reaching the opposite bank, they both take a rest for the same amount of time before they return. On the way back, they pass each other at 100 meters from the bank from where Patrick returned.
Patrick and Eric both row with a constant speed, but Eric rows faster.
How wide is the river?
Options:
A)350 m
B)250 m
C)443 m
D)500 m
E)440 m
Rationale: E
440 meters
Call the requested width of the river r.
The first time that Patrick and Eric meet, the total distance that they have traveled together equals the width of the river, or r. The second time that Patrick and Eric meet, the total distance that they have traveled together equals twice the width of the river plus the width of the river, so 3 × r. Because Patrick and Eric row with a constant speed, it also holds that the distance that Patrick traveled in total at the second meeting, equals 3 times the distance that Patrick traveled in total at the first meeting.
The distance that Patrick traveled in total at the first meeting is 180. The distance that Patrick traveled in total at the second meeting is r + 100. When we combine the above, we get the following equation:
3 × 180 = r + 100.
When we solve this equation we find that r = 440.
Therefore, the river is 440 meters wide.

Question: A certain series is defined by the following recursive rule: Sm=K(Sm-1) , where k is a constant. If the 1st term of this series is 64 and the 25th term is 192, what is the 9th term?
Options:
A)ROOT 2
B)ROOT 3
C)64*ROOT 3
D)64*3^1/3
E)64*3^24
Rationale: Ans...D
No need for any GP formula here
The rule is that mth term is K times the (m-1)th term.
1st = 64
2nd = k.64
3rd = k^2.64
.
.
.
9th term = k^8 *64
.
.
.
so 25th = k^24*64
Using this solve for k and substitute k in the equation for the 9th term

C)67
D)131
E)130
Rationale: The answer to the question is indeed E. The problem with above solutions is that they do not consider words like AA, BB, ...
The number of 1 letter words (X) that can be made from 65 letters is 65;
The number of 2 letter words (XX) that can be made from 65 letters is 65*65, since each X can take 65 values.
Total: 65+65*65.
Similarly:
The number of 1 letter words (X) that can be made from 64 letters is 64;
The number of 2 letter words (XX) that can be made from 64 letters is 64*64, since each X can take 64 values.
Total: 64+64*64.
The difference is (65+65*65)-(64+64*64)=130.

Answer: E
Question: A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is?
Options:
A)76
B)50
C)88
D)12
E)81
Rationale: Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec. [(25/2) * (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 45 ==> x = 50 km/hr.Answer: B
Answer: B
Question: Marie earns $16 per hour for overtime hours. She worked 8 hours overtime last week
and 6 hours overtime this week. Which expression could be used to find Marie’s overtime pay for
the two-week period?
Options:
A)$16 8 6
B)$16(8 6)
C)8(6) $16
D)6($16 8)
E)8(6) 8($16)
Rationale: You’re right if you chose (2) $16(8 6). In this expression, $16 (the overtime hourly wage) is
multiplied by the sum of 8 and 6 (the total overtime hours worked).
There is another way to work the problem. You could find the overtime pay for each week and
add: $16(8) $16(6). Both choice (2) and this expression yield the same result. Both are correct.
$16(8 6) $16(14) $224 $16(8) $16(6) $128 $96 $224
correct answer B
Answer: B
Question: For any integer k greater than 1, the symbol k* denotes the product of all integers between 1 and k, inclusive. If k* is a multiple of 3,675, what is the least possible value of k?
Options:
A)12
B)14
C)15
D)21
E)25
Rationale: We basically need 5,5,3,7 and 7 in the number.
14!, has 3, 5, 7, 10, 14
now 10 = 2 x5
14 = 2x 7
cross check:
K! = 3675 * M (M is a positive integer)
K! = 3 * 5 * 5 * 7 * 7
14! has all the numbers above.. therefore B..!

Answer: C
Question: W and F represent two distinct digits. If the number 457W89F is divisible by 36, what is the value of (W+F)?
Options:
A)a) 9
B)b) 3
C)c) 12
D)d) 6
E)e) 10
Rationale: A no. divisible by 36 means it is div by 49 .
to be div by 4 last 2 digits to be multiple of 4 So, F could be either 2 or 6 only
similarly for a number to be div by 9 its sum must be multiple of 9 first. filtering we find W could be either 1,4,7 only.
To be divisible by 9 only 1 works .(if we choose f=6 then W have to be 6 but as per condition WF are distinct) So
W=1
F=2

Question: A 7-in. pizza cost $8 and a 14-in . pizza cost $20. tommy says the smaller pizza is a better buy because the larger is twice as big and more than twice as expensive. do you agree with his reasoning?
Options:
A)Yes
B)No
C)yes , but pizza so expensive
D)no i did like to purchase pizza in this shop
E)neutral
Rationale: No, pizza looks like a circle, and we know that area of a circle depends on the radius. Area of a circle = nr(squared), here pi (n) is constant.
so we can clearly say that area of a circle is proportional to the square of the diameter. similarly the cost a pizza depends on its area not its diameter. correct answer : (B)
