Question: A survey of employers found that during 1993 employment costs rose 3.5 percent, where employment costs consist of salary costs and fringe-benefit costs. If salary costs rose 3 percent and fringe-benefit costs rose 6.5 percent during 1993, then fringe-benefit costs represented what percent of employment costs at the beginning of 1993 ?
Options:
A) 16.5%
B) 14%
C) 35%
D) 55%
E) 65%
Rationale: The amount by which employment costs rose is equal to 0.035(salary costs + fringe benefit costs);
On the other hand the amount by which employment costs rose is equal to 0.03*salary costs + 0.065*fringe benefit costs;
So, 35(S+F) = 30S+65F --> S = 6F --> F/S = 1/6 --> F/(S+F) = 1/(1+6) = 1/7 = 0.14.
Answer: B.

Question: Two identical machines have the ability to produce both nuts and bolts. However, it takes 1 second to produce a bolt but 2 seconds to produce a nut. What is the fastest the two machines, working together, can produce 1,400 nuts and 1,400 bolts?
Options:
A)1,250 seconds
B)1,500 seconds
C)1,750 seconds
D)2,100 seconds
E)3,000 seconds
Rationale: I used the Rate formula (R=\frac{1}{T})
Rate of 1st machine = Rate of making 1 bolt + Rate of making 1 nut = 1 + \frac{1}{2}
Rate of 1st machine = Rate of 2nd machine
After this I got lost.
Please can you help how to approach using algebra?
I wouldn't complicate:
1 machine needs 1,400*1 seconds to produce 1,400 bolts, so 2 need half of that, so 1,400/2 seconds.=700
1 machine needs 1,400*2 seconds to produce 1,400 nuts, so 2 need half of that, so 1,400*2/2 seconds.=1400
total = 2100 sec

Question: A circular jogging track forms the edge of a circular lake that has a diameter of 2 miles. Johanna walked once around the track at the average speed of 1 miles per hour. If t represents the number of hours it took Johanna to walk completely around the lake, which of the following is a correct statement?
Options:
A)0.5< t < 0.75
B)1.75< t < 2.0
C)6.0 < t < 6.5
D)2.5 < t < 3.0
E)3 < t < 3.5
Rationale: D=2, and R=1
circumference thus is 2pi miles
we know that she walked 1mph
knowing the formula rt=D, we can deduce that t= D/r
D is 2pi miles and r is 1mph
t = 2pi/1
pi can be rewritten as 22/7
2*22/7 = 44/7 and multiply this by 1/1 = 44/7. This is greater than 6, but less than 6.5, therefore, 6<t<6.5. Answer choice C.

Question: A man cycling along the road noticed that every 12 minutes a bus overtakes him and every 4 minutes he meets an oncoming bus. If all buses and the cyclist move at a constant speed, what is the time interval between consecutive buses?
Options:
A)5 minutes
B)6 minutes
C)8 minutes
D)9 minutes
E)10 minutes
Rationale: Let's say the distance between the buses is d. We want to determine Interval=\frac{d}{b}, where b is the speed of bus.
Let the speed of cyclist be c.
Every 12 minutes a bus overtakes cyclist: \frac{d}{b-c}=12, d=12b-12c;
Every 4 minutes cyclist meets an oncoming bus: \frac{d}{b+c}=4, d=4b+4c;
d=12b-12c=4b+4c, --> b=2c, --> d=12b-6b=6b.
Interval=\frac{d}{b}=\frac{6b}{b}=6

Question: A retail item is offered at a discount of x percent (where x > 10), with a 5% state sales tax assessed on the discounted purchase price. If the state sales tax were not assessed, what percent discount from the item’s original retail price, in terms of x, would result in the same final price?
Options:
A)x+5/1.05
B)x/1.05 +5
C)1.05x-5
D)x-5/1.05
E)1.05(x – 5)
Rationale: Let y be the price of the item.
Final price after discount and sales tax = y * (1 - x/100) * 1.05
Let z be the percent discount which would result in the same final price.
Then,
y * (1 - x/100) * 1.05 = y * (1 - z/100)
=> 1.05 - 1.05x/100 = 1 - z/100
=> z/100 = 1.05x/100 - .05
=> z = 1.05x - 5
Hence ,option C is correct.

Question: A magician has five animals in his magic hat: 3 doves and 2 rabbits. If he pulls two animals out of the hat at random, what is the chance W that he will have a matched pair?
Options:
A)W=2/5
B)W=3/5
C)W=1/5
D)1/2
E)7/5
Rationale: P(both doves) + P(both rabbits) = p(matched pair)
(3/5)*(2/4) + (2/5)*(1/4) = 2/5
Hi How did you get the probability 2/4 and 1/4???
You have 3 doves and 2 rabbits i.e. a total of 5 animals.
The probability that you pick a dove on your first pick is 3/5 (since there are 3 doves)
The probability that you pick a dove on your second pick too is 2/4 (because now only 2 doves are left after we picked a dove in the first pick. ALso only 4 animals are left to choose from)
Similarly,
The probability that you pick a rabbit on your first pick is 2/5 (since there are 2 rabbits)
The probability that you pick a rabbit on your second pick too is 1/4 (because now only 1 rabbit is left after we picked a rabbit in the first pick. Also only 4 animals are left to choose from)
Probability of picking a matched pair = 3/5 * 2/4 + 2/5 * 1/4 = 2/5

Question: M is the sum of the reciprocals of the consecutive integers from 601 to 700, inclusive. Which of the following is true?
Options:
A)1/7 < M < 1/6
B)1/5 < M < 1/3
C)1/7 < M < 1/5
D)1/9 < M < 1/7
E)1/12 < M < 1/9
Rationale: M = 1/601 + 1/602 + 1/603 + ...... + 1/700
If we replace the first 99 terms by 1/700, then we get a sum = 100/700 = 1/7. Since the actual terms are larger than 1/700, the sum is larger than 1/7.
If we replace the all the 100 terms by 1/600, we get a sum = 100/600 = 1/6. Since the actual terms are smaller than 1/600, the sum is less than 1/6.
Therefore 1/7 < M < 1/6

Question: Donovan and Michael are racing around a circular 300-meter track. If Donovan runs each lap in 45 seconds and Michael runs each lap in 40 seconds, how many laps will Michael have to complete in order to pass Donovan, assuming they start at the same time?
Options:
A)6
B)9
C)8
D)7
E)10
Rationale: One way of approaching this question is by Relative speed method
1. Speed/ Rate of Donovan = Distance/ time => 300/45 =>60/9
2. Speed/ Rate of Michael = Distance/ time => 300/40 => 30/4
Relative Speed between them =30/4 - 60/9 => 270 -240/36 = 30/36 =5/6 (We subtract the Rates if moving in the same direction and add the rates if moving in the opposite direction)
In order to pass Donovan-
Distance to be covered = 300, Relative Rate = 5/6
Total Time taken by Micheal to surpass Donovan = Distance / rate => 300*6/5 => 1800/5 => 360
No. of laps taken by Michael = Total time / Michael's rate => 360/40 => 9
Hence correct answer is 9 Laps.

If we consider this case than resulting equation will be,
(19*L + a) / ( 19+1 ) = L + (K/100)*L ==> 19L + a = 20 [ L + KL/100]
==> a= 20L + KL/5 -19L
==> a= L + KL/5 , which is equivalent to option [A]

Question: Xavier, Yvonne, and Zelda each try independently to solve a problem. If their individual probabilities for success are 1/6, 1/2 and 5/8, respectively, what is the probability that Xavier and Yvonne, but not Zelda, will solve the problem?
Options:
A)1/32
B)7/8
C)9/64
D)5/64
E)3/64
Rationale: P(Xavier will solve)=1/6
P(Yvonne will solve)=1/2
P(Zelda will NOT solve) = 1- 5/8 = 3/8.
Now, we need to multiply all this Ps to find an answer:
p= (1/6)*(1/2)*(3/8) = 1/32.
Ans. A.

Question: The bankers discount and the true discount of a sum at 15% per annum simple interest for the same time are Rs.120 and Rs.60 respectively. What is the sum and the time?
Options:
A)Sum = Rs.160 and Time = 6.6 years
B)Sum = Rs.120 and Time = 6.6 years
C)Sum = Rs.140 and Time = 6.6 years
D)Sum = Rs.200 and Time = 6 years
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
BD = Rs.120
TD = Rs.60
R = 15%
F = BD ×TD/(BD – TD)=120×60/(120–60)=120×60/60=Rs. 120
BD = Simple Interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time =FTR/100
⇒120 = (120×T×15)/100
⇒1200 = 12 × T × 15 ⇒100 = 15 × T
⇒ T = 100/15 = 6.6 years Answer : Option B

Question: There are 18 stations between Hyderabad and Bangalore. How many second class tickets have to be printed, so that a passenger can travel from any station to any other station?
Options:
A)987
B)177
C)357
D)267
E)380
Rationale: The total number of stations = 20
From 20 stations we have to choose any two stations and the direction of travel (i.e., Hyderabad to Bangalore is different from Bangalore to Hyderabad) in ²⁰P₂ ways.
²⁰P₂ = 20 * 19
= 380.

Question: A sells a bicycle to B and makes a profit of 25%. B sells the same bicycle to C at a profit of 25%. If the final S.P. of the bicycle was Rs. 225, find out the cost price of the bicycle for A.
Options:
A)237
B)126
C)971
D)611
E)144
Rationale: Explanation:
Let CP be 100
A sells at 25% profit so SP=125
B sells at 25% profit = 125 x (1+25/100) = 156.25
CP SP
100--- 156.25
x --- 225
CP = 225 x 100/156.25 = 144

Question: A box contains 3 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If two marbles are picked at random, what is the probability that they are either blue or yellow?
Options:
A)2/28
B)2/27
C)2/21
D)2/89
E)2/11
Rationale: Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles. Probability that both marbles are blue = ³C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (3 * 2)/(15 * 14) = 1/35
Probability that both are yellow = ²C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (2 * 1)/(15 * 14) = 1/105
Probability that one blue and other is yellow = (³C₁ * ²C₁)/¹⁵C₂ = (2 * 3 * 2)/(15 * 14) = 2/35
Required probability = 1/35 + 1/105 + 2/35
= 3/35 + 1/105 = 1/35(3 + 1/3)
= 10/(3 * 35)
= 2/21
Answer: C

E)7/15
Rationale: Drawing two balls of same color from ten green balls can be done in 10C₂ ways.
Similarly from eight white balls two can be drawn in ⁸C₂ ways.
P = 10C₂/¹⁵C₂ + ⁸C₂/¹⁵C₂ = 21/44
