Options:
A)6 2/3
B)15
C)20
D)25
E)26 2/3
Rationale: Here is how I did it:
The cyclist travels 16 miles in 60 mins, so in 5 mins he will travel [(16*5)/60] miles, which equals 4/3 miles in 5 mins.
Now the hiker travels 4 miles in 60 mins. To travel 4/3 miles, he will take [(60*4/3)/4] = 20 mins.
hence 20-5=15 mins

Question: Marla is hanging a banner diagonally across a rectangular room. The length of the room is 2 feet shorter than its width. If the total area of the room is 120 square feet, what is the length of the banner (in feet)?
Options:
A)Between 13 and 14
B)Between 14 and 15
C)Between 15 and 16
D)Between 16 and 17
E)Between 17 and 18
Rationale: To solve this, we first need to set up an equation for the area of the room. If x is the width, then we have
x(x - 2) = 120. By putting the equation in standard form, we get x^2-2x-120=0. By using the quadratic formula, we get roots of -10 and 12. We know that x is the width, and x-2 is the length, so by using the roots, we get 12 as the width (x), and 10 as the length (x-2).
Once we have this, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the diagonal. Plugging in the length and width, we will get d^2=12^2+10^2
=144+100
=244
The square root of 244 is less than 16, since 16^2 = 256. Going down a number, we can compute 15^2 = 225 < 224. Therefore, the length of the diagonal must be between 15 and 16.
The correct answer is C.
Answer: C
Question: A cyclist rides a bicycle over a route which is 1/3 uphill, 1/3 level, and 1/3 downhill. If the cyclist covers the uphill part of the route at the rate of 10 km per hour and the level part at the rate of 15 km per hour, what rate in km per hour would the cyclist have to travel the downhill part of the route in order to average 15 km per hour for the entire route?
Options:
A)20
B)25
C)30
D)35
E)40
Rationale: Let V be the speed on the downhill section.
Let D be the distance of each of the three equal sections.
Total time T = T1+T2+T3 and 3D/T = 15 km/hour
3D / (D/10 + D/15 + D/V) = 15
1/5 = 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/V
1/V = 1/30 and so V = 30 km/h
The answer is C.
Answer: C
Question: On the xy-plane, each point on circle C has coordinates such
that x 0 and y 0. If the center of circle C is the point (3; 9),
what is the maximum possible area of C?
Options:
A) 6
B) 9
C) 24
D) 32
E) 64
Rationale: I think that theintentof this question is that the circle will have NO CO-ORDINATES that fit the following 2 forms: (0, Y) or (X, 0). In real basic terms, this circle will NEITHER touch (nor cross) the X-axis NOR will it touch (nor cross) the Y-axis.
With a center at (3,8), the longest possible radius would ALMOST touch the X-axis, so the radius would be a little less than 3.
If the radius WAS 3 exactly, then the area would be 9pi, which is approximately 28.26
Since the circle CAN'T touch the X-axis, the area has to be LESS than approximately 28.26
As it's written, none of the answers is clearly the correct one.

Question: A not-so-good clockmaker has four clocks on display in the window. Clock #1 loses 25 minutes every hour. Clock #2 gains 15 minutes every hour relative to Clock #1 (i.e., as Clock #1 moves from 12:00 to 1:00, Clock #2 moves from 12:00 to 1:15). Clock #3 loses 20 minutes every hour relative to Clock #2. Finally, Clock #4 gains 20 minutes every hour relative to Clock #3. If the clockmaker resets all four clocks to the correct time at 12 noon, what time will Clock #4 display after 6 actual hours (when it is actually 6:00 pm that same day)?
Options:
A)5:00
B)5:34
C)5:42
D)6:00
E)6:24
Rationale: C1 loses 15 minutes every hour. So after 60 minutes have passed, C1 displays that 60-15 = 45 minutes have passed.
C2 gains 15 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on C1. Thus, the time displayed on C2 is 75/60 = 5/4 the time displayed on C1. So after 60 minutes have passed, C2 displays the passing of (5/4 * 45) minutes.
C3 loses 20 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on C2. Thus, the time displayed on C3 is 40/60 = 2/3 the time displayed on C2. So after 60 minutes have passed, C3 displays the passing of (2/3 * 5/4 * 45) minutes.
C4 gains 20 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on C3. Thus, the time displayed on C4 is 80/60 = 4/3 the time displayed on clock 3. So after 60 minutes have passed, C4 displays the passing of 4/3 * 2/3 * 5/4 * 45 = 50 minutes.
C4 loses 10 minutes every hour.
In 6 hours, C4 will lose 6*10 = 60 minutes = 1 hour.
Since the correct time after 6 hours will be 6pm, C4 will show a time of 6-1 = 5:42pm.
The correct answer is C.

Options:
A)33
B)36
C)38
D)42
E)44
Rationale: Let the numbers be 11a and 11b
11a × 11b = 363
=> ab = 3
co-primes with product 3 are (1, 3)
Hence the numbers with HCF 11 and product 363
= (11 × 1, 11 × 3)
= (11, 33)
Hence, numbers are 11 and 33

Question: Find the ones digit of 73^356
Options:
A)1
B)5
C)6
D)7
E)9
Rationale: The units digit of 73^356 will be the same as the units digit of 3^356.
3^1=3 --> the units digit is 3;
3^2=9 --> the units digit is 9;
3^3=27 --> the units digit is 7;
3^4=81 --> the units digit is 1;
3^5=243 --> the units digit is 3 AGAIN;
...
So, as you can see the units digit repeats in blocks of 4: {3, 9, 7, 1}, {3, 9, 7, 1}, ... Now, since 356=356+0=(multiple of 4)+0, then the units digit of 3^356 will be thus 1.

D)0.482
E)0.51
Rationale: Explanation:
Probability that A speaks truth is 85/100 = 0.85
Probability that B speaks truth is 60/100 = 0.6
Since both A and B are independent of each other
So probability of A intersection B is P(A) × P(B) =0.85 × 0.6 = 0.51

Question: If p/q =4/5, then the value of 11/7 + {(2q - p) / (2q + p)} is ?
Options:
A)3 / 7
B)34
C)1
D)2
E)3
Rationale: Answer
Given Exp. = 11 / 7 + {(2q - p) / (2q + p)}
Dividing numerator as well as denominator by q,
Exp = 11/7 + {2-p/q) / (2 + p/q)}
= 11/7 + {(2 - 4/5) / (2 + 4/5)}
= 11/7 + 6/14
= 11/7 + 3/7
=14/7
=2

Question: At a certain supplier, a machine of type A costs $21,000 and a machine of type B costs $50,000. 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)$10,560
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 42000 + (42000 - 20% of 42000) + 40% of (42000 - 20% of 42000)
= 55440
Total Cost of 1 Machine of Type B
= 20% of (Cost of 1 machine B) + remainder + 40 % remainder
= 20% of 50000 + (50000 - 20% of 50000) + 40% of (50000 - 20% of 50000)
= 66000
Diff = 66000 - 55440 = 10560
Hence, A.

Question: A lends Rs. 1500 to B and a certain sum to C at the same time at 8% per annum simple interest. If after 4 years, A altogether receives Rs. 1400 as interest from B and C, then the sum lent to C is
Options:
A)Rs.2875
B)Rs.1885
C)Rs.2245
D)Rs.2445
E)Rs.2615
Rationale: Explanation :
Let the sum lent to C be Rs. x
Simple Interest for Rs.1500 at 8% per annum for 4 years
+ Simple Interest for Rs.x at 8% per annum for 4 years = Rs.1400
⇒1500×8×4/100+ x × 8×4/100=1400
⇒480+32x/100=1400
⇒32x/100=920
⇒x=920×100/32=2875
Answer : Option A
Answer: A
