Problem: each light bulb at a hotel is either incandescent or fluorescent . at a certain moment , forty percent of the incandescent bulbs are switched on , and eighty percent of the fluorescent bulbs are switched on . if 75 percent of all the bulbs are switched on at this moment , what percent of the bulbs that are switched on are incandescent ?
Options: a ) 6.7 % , b ) 10.3 % , c ) 14.5 % , d ) 18.2 % , e ) 23.6 %
Rationale: "let i be the number of incandescent bulbs . let f be the number of fluorescent bulbs . 0.4 i + 0.8 f = 0.75 ( i + f ) 0.05 f = 0.35 i f = 7 i this means that for every 1 incandescent bulb , there are 7 fluorescent bulbs . the percent of bulbs that are switched on which are incandescent is : 0.4 i / ( 0.4 i + 0.8 f ) = 0.4 i / ( 0.4 i + 0.8 * 7 i ) = 0.4 i / 6 i = 1 / 15 which is about 6.7 % . the answer is a ."

Rationale: xyz is a 3 digit integer divisible by 5 . so z can take only 0 or 5 . we are also given that x = 2 y this means x + y ( 2 y + y ) must be a multiple of 3 xy 5 or xy 0 case 1 x + y + 0 = 11 x + y = 11 this ca n ' t be the case because 11 is not a multiple of 3 case 2 x + y + 5 = 11 x + y = 6 solving we get , x = 4 y = 2 so the 3 digit number is 425 thus the product of the digits will be = 4 x 2 x 5 = 40 answer b
Answer: b
Python program:
a = 11 - 5
b = a / 3
c = b * 2
d = 11 - 5
e = d / 3
f = c * e
g = f * 5
Problem: if a randomly selected positive single digit multiple of 3 is multiplied by a randomly selected prime number less than 20 , what is the probability t that this product will be a multiple of 45 ?
Options: a ) 1 / 32 , b ) 1 / 28 , c ) 1 / 24 , d ) 1 / 16 , e ) 1 / 14
Rationale: "there are 3 single digit multiple of 3 , that is , 3 , 6,9 . there are 8 prime nos less than 20 - 2,3 , 5,7 , 11,13 , 17,19 total outcome - 8 * 3 = 24 favourable outcome = 1 ( 9 * 5 ) hence required probability t = 1 / 24 . answer c ."
Answer: c
Python program:
a = 20 + 4 
b = 1 / a
Problem: uba capital recently bought brand new vehicles for office use . uba capital only went for toyota and honda and bought more of toyota than honda at the ratio of 8 : 2 . if 80 % of the toyota bought and 20 % of the honda bought were suv â € ™ s . how many suv â € ™ s did uba capital buy in the aforementioned purchase ?
Options: a ) 66 % , b ) 64 % , c ) 68 % , d ) 69 % , e ) 72 %
Rationale: "let total no of vehicles bought be 100 , toyota 80 and honda 20 , so total number of suv ' s bought for toyota and honda respectively 80 * 80 / 100 = 64 and 20 * 20 / 100 = 4 so total 68 suv ' s were bought out of 100 vehicles bought . . so required % is 68 % answer : c"
Answer: c
Python program:
a = 8 * 2

Options: a ) 100 , b ) 10 , c ) 10000 , d ) 100000 , e ) 1000000
Rationale: "10 ^ ( 655 ) ã · 10 ^ ( 651 ) = 10 ^ ( 655 - 651 ) = 10 ^ 5 = 100000 answer : d"
Answer: d
Python program:
a = 655 - 650
b = 10 ** a
Problem: a corporation that had $ 115.19 billion in profits for the year paid out $ 250.10 million in employee benefits . approximately what percent of the profits were the employee benefits ? ( note : 1 billion = 10 ^ 9 )
Options: a ) 50 % , b ) 20 % , c ) 5 % , d ) 2 % , e ) 0.22 %
Rationale: "required answer = [ employee benefit / profit ] * 100 = [ ( 250.10 million ) / ( 115.19 billion ) ] * 100 = [ ( 250.10 * 10 ^ 6 ) / ( 115.19 * 10 ^ 9 ) ] * 100 = ( 2.2 / 1000 ) * 100 = 0.22 % so answer is ( e )"
Answer: e
Python program:
a = 3 + 3 
b = 10 ** a
c = 250 * 10
d = 10 ** 9
e = 115 * 19
f = c / e
g = f * 100
Problem: a reduction of 10 % in the price of salt enables a lady to obtain 10 kgs more for rs . 100 , find the original price per kg ?
Options: a ) 1.1 , b ) 2.2 , c ) 2.5 , d ) 2.1 , e ) 2.9
Rationale: "100 * ( 10 / 100 ) = 10 - - - 10 ? - - - 1 = > rs . 1 100 - - - 90 ? - - - 1 = > rs . 1.1 answer : a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 10 / 100
b = a * 100
c = b / 10
d = 10 / 100
e = d * 100
f = c / e
g = f * 100
Problem: the average ( arithmetic mean ) of 16 students first quiz scores in a difficult english class is 62.5 . when one student dropped the class , the average of the remaining scores increased to 62.0 . what is the quiz score of the student who dropped the class ?
Options: a ) a ) 10 , b ) b ) 25 , c ) c ) 40 , d ) d ) 55 , e ) e ) 70
Rationale: "total score of 16 students is 16 * 62.50 = 1000 total score of 15 students is 15 * 62 = 930 so , the score of the person who left is 70 ( 1000 - 930 ) answer will be ( e )"
Answer: e
Python program:
a = 16 * 62
b = 16 - 1
c = b * 62
d = a - c
Problem: the triplicate ratio of 2 : 3 is ?
Options: a ) 1 : 64 , b ) 1 : 62 , c ) 1 : 34 , d ) 8 : 27 , e ) 5 : 64

Problem: if 15 lions can kill 15 deers in 15 minutes how long will it take 100 lions to kill 100 deers ?
Options: a ) 1 minutes , b ) 15 minute , c ) 100 minutes , d ) 10000 minutes , e ) 1000 minutes
Rationale: we can try the logic of time and work , our work is to kill the deers so 15 ( lions ) * 15 ( min ) / 15 ( deers ) = 100 ( lions ) * x ( min ) / 100 ( deers ) hence answer is x = 15 answer : b
Answer: b
Python program:
a = 15 / 15
b = a * 15
Problem: what is the least number that should be added to 1076 , so the sum of the number is divisible by 23 ?
Options: a ) 1 , b ) 2 , c ) 3 , d ) 4 , e ) 5
Rationale: ( 1076 / 23 ) gives a remainder 18 so we need to add 5 . the answer is e .
Answer: e
Python program:
a = 1076 / 23
b = math.floor(a)
c = 1 + b 
d = 1076 / 23
e = c - d
f = e * 23
