Question: The product W of the first 10 prime numbers is closest to which of the following?
Options:
A)6.5 x 10^7
B)6.5 x 10^8
C)6.5 x 10^9
D)6.5 x 10^10
E)6.5 x 10^11
Rationale: The first 10 primes are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29.
So, we need to find approximate value of 2*3*5*7*11*13*17*19*23*29.
# of different approximations are possible. For example:
2*5=10
3*17=~50 (actually more than 50);
7*13=~100 (actually less than 100);
11*19=~200 (actually more than 200)
23*29=667=W
2*3*5*7*11*13*17*19=~10*50*100*200*667=10^7*667=6.67*10^9.

Question: P can do a work in the same time in which Q and R together can do it. If P and Q work together, the work can be completed in 10 days. R alone needs 50 days to complete the same work. then Q alone can do it in
Options:
A)20
B)22
C)25
D)27
E)30
Rationale: Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/10
Work done by R in 1 day = 1/50
Work done by P, Q and R in 1 day = 1/10 + 1/50 = 6/50
But Work done by P in 1 day = Work done by Q and R in 1 day . Hence the above equation can be written as Work done by P in 1 day × 2 = 6/50
=> Work done by P in 1 day = 3/50
=> Work done by Q and R in 1 day = 3/50
Hence work done by Q in 1 day = 3/50 – 1/50 = 2/50 = 1/25
So Q alone can do the work in 25 days

Question: A person jogged 10 times along the perimeter of a rectangular field at the rate of 12 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes. If field has a length that is twice its width, find the area of the field in square meters.
Options:
A)56,000 square meters
B)32,000 square meters
C)65,000 square meters
D)20,000 square meters
E)43,000 square meters
Rationale: Let us first find the distance d jogged
distance = rate * time = (12 km / hr)* 30 minutes
= (12 km/hr) * 0.5 hr = 6 km
The distance of 6 km corresponds to 10 perimeters and therefore 1 perimeter is equal to
6 km / 10 = 0.6 km = 0.6 * 1000 meters = 600 meters
Let L and W be the length and width of the field. The length is twice the width. Hence
L = 2 W
The perimeter is 600 meters and is given by
2 (L + W) = 600
Substitute L by 2 W
2 (2 W + W) = 600
Simplify and solve for W
4 W + 2 W = 600
6 W = 600
W = 100
Find L
L = 2 W = 200
Find the area A of the rectangle
A = L * W = 200 * 100 = 20,000 square meters correct answer D

Question: Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 550 per week by their employer. If X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week?
Options:
A)Rs. 150
B)Rs. 300
C)Rs. 250
D)Rs. 200
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
Let the amount paid to X per week = x
and the amount paid to Y per week = y
Then x + y = 550
But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10
∴ 12y/10 + y = 550
⇒ y[(12/10) + 1] = 550
⇒ 22y/10 = 550
⇒ 22y = 5500
⇒ y = 5500/22 = 500/2 = Rs.250

Question: A does a work in 10 days and B does the same work in 15 days. In how many days they together will do the same work?
Options:
A)2 days
B)6 days
C)5 days
D)7 days
E)1 days
Rationale: B
6 days
A's 1 day work = 1/10; B's 1 day work = 1/15
(A + B)'s 1 day work = (1/10 + 1/15) = 1/6
So, both together will finish the work in 6 days.

The addition problem above shows four of the 24 different integers that can be formed by using each of the digits 1,2,5 and 7 exactly once in each integer. What is the sum E of the 24 integers ?
Options:
A) 26,996
B) 44,406
C) 60,444
D) 66,660
E) 99,990
Rationale: This is the way i solved it :
Total no. of different combos = 24, total digits 4 therefore each digit must repeat 24/4 = 6 times in each row .. So the right most row would add up to 1x6 + 2x6 + 5x6 + 7x6 = 6+12+30+42 = 90 .. Each row would add up to 90, so 90 in the first means we have 9 that carries over and we get 0 , the second time its 90+9 and 9 stays and one 9 goes to the row to the left, so the last two digits of the SUM E should be 90 (E) .. We could go on and solve the exact number but since only one answer choice has the last digits as 90 we needn't go any further..
Answer: E
Question: A carpenter worked alone for 1 day on a job that would take him 6 more days to finish. He and another carpenter completed the job in 3 more days. How many days would it have taken the second carpenter to do the complete job working alone?
Options:
A)4 2/3
B)7
C)9
D)14
E)24
Rationale: A carpenter worked only 1 day on something that takes him 6 MORE days.
Means;
Carpenter finishes his work in 7 days.
Let his buddy finish the same task in x days.
Respective rates per day:
1/7 AND 1/x
To complete 1 work:
First guy worked for 5 days @ rate=1/7 per day.
Second one worked for 3 days @ rate=1/x per day
Expression:
Days*Rate=Work
4*1/7+3*1/x=1
4x+21=7x
3x=21
x=7 days.

Question: A can do a piece of work in 4 hours . A and C together can do it in just 2 hours, while B and C together need 3 hours to finish the same work. B alone can complete the work in --- hours.
Options:
A)12 hours
B)6 hours
C)8 hours
D)10 hours
E)15 hours
Rationale: Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/4
Work done by B and C in 1 hour = 1/3
Work done by A and C in 1 hour = 1/2
Work done by A,B and C in 1 hour = 1/4+1/3 = 7/12
Work done by B in 1 hour = 7/12 – 1/2 = 1/12 => B alone can complete the work in 12 hours
Option A

Question: A box contains 100 balls, numbered from 1 to 100. If 3 balls are selected at random and with replacement from the box. If the 3 numbers on the balls selected contain two odd and one even. What is the probability L that the first ball picked up is odd numbered?
Options:
A)	0
B)	1/3
C)	1/2
D)	2/3
E)	1
Rationale: Answer-D
Selecting the balls either Even or Odd is having probability 50/100=1/2
We have already selected 3 balls with 2 odd numbers and 1 even number.
So we have 3 combinations OOE, OEO, EOO. We have 3 outcomes and 2 are favourable as in 2 cases 1st number is odd. So probability L is 2/3.D
Answer: D
Question: If x and y are different integers and x^2 = xy, which of the following must be true ?
I. x = 2
II. x = 0
III. x = -y
Options:
A)I only
B)II only
C)III only
D)I and III only
E)I, II, and III
Rationale: Answer choice A is correct.
The question gives you x^2=xy
you can simplify that as x^2-xy=0
x(x-y)=0 the solution will be either x=0 or x=y, since x and y are different integers x cannot equal y, that leaves you x=0 to be the only answer.
Answer B

Question: Tom and Marry each have a bag of marbles, each of which contains 4 Red marbles, 10 blue marbles, and 6 yellow marbles. If Tom and Marry each select one marble from their respective bags, what is the probability that either Tom or Marry select a blue marble?
Options:
A)1/7
B)2/4
C)3/4
D)1/8
E)1/16
Rationale: Probability that either selects a red marble,P(Either) = 1- probability that neither selects a blue marble, P(Neither)
Probability that Tom selects non blue = 10c1 / 20c1 = 1/2
Probability that Marry selects non blue = 10c1 / 20c1 = 1/2
=> P(Either)=1- (1/2*1/2) = 1-1/4= 3/4.
