Question: If n = 2×3×5×7×11×13×14, then which of the following statements must be true?
I. n^2 is divisible by 600
II. n + 19 is divisible by 19
III. (n + 4)/2 is even
Options:
A)I only
B)II only
C)III only
D)None of the above
E)I and III
Rationale: Statement I: 600 = (2^3)*(3)*(5^2) this is true.
Statement 2 Since n is divisible by 19 so n+19 is also divisible by 19. So this is NOT true.
Statement 3: (n+4)/2 = n/2 + 2
So, ODD + 2 cannot be even.
So this is true.
Hence option (E).

Options:
A)Rs. 800
B)Rs. 950
C)Rs. 1100
D)Rs. 1040
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Cost price of article = Rs. 600

Options:
A)4
B)4 2/3
C)5 1/3
D)6
E)6 1/4
Rationale: Machine A produces pencils at a constant rate of 9,000 pencils per hour, and machine B produces pencils at a constant rate of 7,000 pencils per hour. If the two machines together must produce 100,000 pencils and if each machine can operate for at most 8 hours, what is the least amount of time Q, in hours, that machine B must operate?
a) 4
b) 4 and 2/3
c) 5 and 1/3

Question: Factor | Percent of Respondents |
User-friendly | 56% |
Fast response time | 48% |
Bargain prices | 42% |
The table gives three factors to be considered when choosing an Internet service provider and the percent of the 1,300 respondents to a survey who cited that factor as important. If 30 percent of the respondents cited both “user-friendly” and “fast response time,” what is the maximum possible number of respondents who cited “bargain prices,” but neither “user-friendly” nor “fast response time?”
Options:
A)312
B)338
C)360
D)384
E)420
Rationale: The way I looked at is is as follows:
UserFriendly(UF) + FastResponse (FR) = 30%
UF leftover = 56 - 30 = 26%
FR leftover = 48 - 30 = 18%
Sum these = 74% (ie. 74% were either UF+FR, UF, FR)
26% leftover is the maximum number for Bargain Price
26/100 * 1300 = 26 * 13 = 338 (B).

Question: The average age of A and B is 20 years. If C were to replace A, the average would be 19 and if C were to replace B, the average would be 21. What are the age of A, B and C?
Options:
A)22, 18, 20
B)20, 20, 18
C)18, 22, 20
D)21, 20, 19
E)None of the above
Rationale: Given A + B = 40…(i)
C + B = 38 … (ii)
A + C = 42…(iii)
(i) + (ii) + (iii) ⇒ A + B + C = 60 …(iv)
from (i) and (iv), we get
C = 20 years
∴ B = 18 years and A = 22 years
