Problem: a and b can do a piece of work in 30 days , while b and c can do the same work in 24 days and c and a in 20 days . they all work together for 10 days when b and c leave . how many days more will a take to finish the work ?
Options: a ) 18 days , b ) 24 days , c ) 30 days , d ) 36 days , e ) 35 days
Rationale: explanation : 2 ( a + b + c ) ' s 1 day ' s work = ( 1 / 30 + 1 / 24 + 1 / 20 ) = 15 / 120 = 1 / 8 work done by a , b , c in 10 days = 10 / 6 = 5 / 8 . a ' s 1 day ' s work = ( 1 / 16 - 1 / 24 ) = 1 / 48 now , 1 / 48 work is done by a in 1 day so , 3 / 8 work will be done by a in ( 48 x 3 / 8 ) = 18 days . answer is a
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 1 / 30
b = 1 / 24
c = a + b 
d = 1 / 20
e = c + d 
f = e / 2
g = f * 10
h = 1 - g
i = 1 / 30
j = 1 / 24
k = i + j 
l = 1 / 20
m = k + l 
n = m / 2
o = 1 / 24
p = n - o
q = h / p
Problem: the h . c . f and l . c . m of two numbers are 84 and 21 respectively . if the ratio of the two numbers is 1 : 4 , then the larger of the two numbers is
Options: a ) 32 , b ) 37 , c ) 84 , d ) 29 , e ) 21
Rationale: explanation : let the numbers be x and 4 x . then , \ inline \ fn _ jvn x \ times 4 x = 84 \ times 21 \ : \ : \ leftrightarrow \ : \ : x ^ { 2 } = \ frac { 84 \ times 21 } { 4 } \ : \ : \ leftrightarrow \ : \ : x = 21 hence larger number = 4 x = 84 answer : c ) 84
Answer: c
Python program:
a = 84 * 21
b = a / 4
c = math.sqrt(b)
d = c * 4

Options: a ) 1287 , b ) 1285 , c ) 1283 , d ) 1280 , e ) 1281
Rationale: "trees increase by 1 / 4 the number of trees in preceding year . hence , correct answer must be divisible by 4 . based on divisibility rules , if last 2 digits are divisible by 4 then the number is divisible by 4 . thus , we can eliminate a , b , c , e the answer to be d again , trees increase by 1 / 4 the number of trees in preceding year . hence , the number of trees increase by 5 / 4 times the number of trees the preceding year . if x = initial number of trees = 1280 year 1 = 5 / 4 x year 2 = ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) x year 3 = ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) x year 4 = ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) x only for answer d : ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) ( 5 / 4 ) 1280 = 3125 hence , correct answer = d"
Answer: d
Python program:
a = 1 / 4
b = a + 1 
c = b ** 4
d = 3125 / c
Problem: if n is a natural number , then 6 n ^ 2 + 6 n is always divisible by ?
Options: a ) 6 only , b ) 6 and 12 , c ) 12 only , d ) 18 only , e ) 20 only
Rationale: "6 n ^ 2 + 6 n = 6 n ( n + 1 ) , which is always divisible by 6 and 12 both , since n ( n + 1 ) is always even . answer is b"
Answer: b
Python program:
a = 6 * 100
b = 2 * 6
c = a + b

Options: a ) 22 sec , b ) 27 sec , c ) 25 sec , d ) 24 sec , e ) 11 sec
Rationale: "explanation : d = 100 + 120 = 220 s = 36 * 5 / 18 = 10 mps t = 250 / 10 = 22 sec answer : option a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 120 + 100 
b = 36 * const_0_2778
c = a / b
Problem: a certain fruit stand sold apples for $ 0.70 each and bananas for $ 0.60 each . if a customer purchased both apples and bananas from the stand for a total of $ 6.30 , what total number of apples and bananas did the customer purchase ?
Options: a ) 8 , b ) 9 , c ) 10 , d ) 11 , e ) 12
Rationale: "let ' s start with 1 apple for $ 0.70 . let ' s subtract $ 0.70 from $ 6.30 until we get a multiple of $ 0.60 . $ 6.30 , $ 5.60 , $ 4.90 , $ 4.20 = 7 * $ 0.60 the customer purchased 7 bananas and 3 apples . the answer is c ."
Answer: c
Python program:
a = 0 * 70
b = 6 - 30
c = b / 0
d = c + 2
Problem: a man ' s speed with the current is 15 km / hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km / hr . the man ' s speed against the current is :
Options: a ) 8.5 km / hr , b ) 10 km / hr , c ) 12.5 km / hr , d ) 9 km / hr , e ) none of these
Rationale: "explanation : man ' s speed with the current = 15 km / hr = > speed of the man + speed of the current = 15 km / hr speed of the current is 2.5 km / hr hence , speed of the man = 15 - 2.5 = 12.5 km / hr man ' s speed against the current = speed of the man - speed of the current = 12.5 - 2.5 = 10 km / hr answer is b"
Answer: b
Python program:
a = 15 - 2
b = a - 2
Problem: a shopkeeper sold an article at $ 1200 and gained a 20 % profit . what was the cost price ?
Options: a ) $ 1000 , b ) $ 1020 , c ) $ 1040 , d ) $ 1060 , e ) $ 1080
Rationale: "let x be the cost price . 1.2 x = 1200 x = 1200 / 1.2 = 1000 the answer is a ."
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 1200 + 20 
b = 100 / a
c = 100 * 0
Problem: at company x , senior sales representatives visit the home office once every 20 days , and junior sales representatives visit the home office once every 15 days . the number of visits that a junior sales representative makes in a 2 - year period is approximately what percent greater than the number of visits that a senior representative makes in the same period ?
Options: a ) 10 % , b ) 25 % , c ) 33 % , d ) 50 % , e ) 67 %
Rationale: "each 60 - day period , senior representatives visit the home office 3 times while junior representatives visit 4 times , thus 33 % more . the answer is c ."
Answer: c
Python program:
a = 1 + 10 
b = 20 - 15
c = b - 1
d = a * c
Problem: daniel went to a shop and bought things worth rs . 25 , out of which 30 paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases . if the tax rate was 5 % , then what was the cost of the tax free items ?
Options: a ) a ) 18.7 , b ) b ) 20 , c ) c ) 21.3 , d ) d ) 21.5 , e ) e ) 22
Rationale: "total cost of the items he purchased = rs . 25 given that out of this rs . 25 , 30 paise is given as tax = > total tax incurred = 30 paise = rs . 30 / 100 let the cost of the tax free items = x given that tax rate = 5 % ∴ ( 25 − 30 / 100 − x ) 5 / 100 = 30 / 100 ⇒ 5 ( 25 − 0.3 − x ) = 30 ⇒ ( 25 − 0.3 − x ) = 6 ⇒ x = 25 − 0.3 − 6 = 18.7 a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 30 / 100
b = 25 - a
c = 30 / 5
d = b - c
Problem: a car gets 40 kilometers per gallon of gasoline . how many gallons of gasoline would the car need to travel 190 kilometers ?
Options: a ) 3.5 gallons , b ) 2.7 gallons , c ) 5.7 gallons , d ) 4.75 gallons , e ) 7.5 gallons
Rationale: "each 40 kilometers , 1 gallon is needed . we need to know how many 40 kilometers are there in 190 kilometers ? 190 ã · 40 = 4.75 ã — 1 gallon = 4.75 gallons correct answer is d ) 4.75 gallons"
