Options: a ) a . 4 , b ) b . 8 , c ) c . 10 , d ) d . 12 , e ) e . 16
Rationale: "you might think of this in a management context - we can use the principle of ' person - hours ' to solve any problem where we have identical workers . so , using simpler numbers , suppose you know that 6 identical employees , working simultaneously , would finish a job in 5 hours . then that job requires 6 * 5 = 30 total hours of person - work . if instead you wanted the job done in 3 hours , you ' d assign 30 / 3 = 10 employees to do the job , because you want to get a total of 30 hours of work from the employees . we can solve this problem identically . if 20 machines ( identical ones , i assume ) work simultaneously for 36 days , they will do a total of 20 * 36 machine - days of work . so the job requires 20 * 36 days of machine work in total . we instead want the job done in 1 / 3 less time , so in 24 days . so we ' ll need 20 * 36 / 24 = 30 machines , or 10 additional machines . c"

Rationale: "substitute y by 10 in x + 3 y = 33 x + 3 ( 10 ) = 33 x + 30 = 33 if we substitute x by 3 in x + 30 = 33 , we have 3 + 30 = 33 . hence x = 3 correct answer c"
Answer: c
Python program:
a = 3 * 10
b = 33 - a
Problem: a shopkeeper sold 50 articles at the cost price of 60 articles . then find the profit % or lost %
Options: a ) 20 % , b ) 22 % , c ) 25 % , d ) 30 % , e ) 35 %
Rationale: "here 50 articles selling price = 60 articles cost price so the difference = 60 - 50 = 10 % of profit = 10 * 100 / 50 = 20 % correct option is a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 60 - 50
b = a / 50
c = b * 100
Problem: the owner of a furniture shop charges his customer 20 % more than the cost price . if a customer paid rs . 3000 for a computer table , then what was the cost price of the computer table ?
Options: a ) 2500 , b ) 2772 , c ) 1991 , d ) 6725 , e ) 2099
Rationale: "cp = sp * ( 100 / ( 100 + profit % ) ) = 3000 ( 100 / 120 ) = rs . 2500 . answer : a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 20 / 100
b = 1 + a 
c = 3000 / b
Problem: suresh can complete a job in 15 hours . ashutosh alone can complete the same job in 20 hours . suresh works for 9 hours and then the remaining job is completed by ashutosh . how many hours will it take ashutosh to complete the remaining job alone ?
Options: a ) 4 , b ) 5 , c ) 8 , d ) 12 , e ) none of these
Rationale: the part of job that suresh completes in 9 hours = 9 â  „ 15 = 3 â  „ 5 remaining job = 1 - 3 â  „ 5 = 2 â  „ 5 remaining job can be done by ashutosh in 2 â  „ 5 ã — 20 = 8 hours answer c
Answer: c
Python program:
a = 9 / 15
b = 1 - a
c = b * 20
Problem: sonika deposited rs . 9000 which amounted to rs . 10200 after 3 years at simple interest . had the interest been 2 % more . she would get how much ?
Options: a ) 9680 , b ) 2277 , c ) 2999 , d ) 10700 , e ) 10740
Rationale: "( 9000 * 3 * 2 ) / 100 = 540 10200 - - - - - - - - 10740 answer : e"
Answer: e
Python program:
a = 2 / 100
b = 10200 - 9000
c = b / 3
d = c / 9000
e = a + d 
f = e * 9000
g = f * 3
h = g + 9000
Problem: jerry ’ s average ( arithmetic mean ) score on the first 3 of 4 tests is 85 . if jerry wants to raise his average by 3 points , what score must he earn on the fourth test ?
Options: a ) 97 , b ) 89 , c ) 90 , d ) 93 , e ) 95
Rationale: "total score on 3 tests = 85 * 3 = 255 jerry wants the average to be = 88 hence total score on 4 tests should be = 88 * 4 = 352 score required on the fourth test = 352 - 255 = 97 option a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 85 + 3 
b = 4 * a
c = 85 * 3
d = b - c
Problem: a card game called “ high - low ” divides a deck of 52 playing cards into 2 types , “ high ” cards and “ low ” cards . there are an equal number of “ high ” cards and “ low ” cards in the deck and “ high ” cards are worth 2 points , while “ low ” cards are worth 1 point . if you draw cards one at a time , how many ways can you draw “ high ” and “ low ” cards to earn 4 points if you must draw exactly 2 “ low ” cards ?
Options: a ) 1 , b ) 2 , c ) 3 , d ) 4 , e ) 5
Rationale: "great question ravih . this is a permutations problem ( order matters ) with repeating elements . given thatlowcards are worth 1 pt andhigh cards 2 pts , and you must draw 3 low cards , we know that you must also draw 1 high card . the formula for permutations problems with repeating elements isn ! / a ! b ! . . . where n represents the number of elements in the group and a , b , etc . represent the number of times that repeating elements are repeated . here there are 4 elements and thelowcard is repeated 3 times . as a result , the formula is : 3 ! / 2 ! which represents ( 3 * 2 * 1 ) / ( 2 * 1 ) which simplifies to just 4 , giving you answer c ."
Answer: c
Python program:
a = 4 * 2
b = a * 2
c = b * 1
d = 2 * 2
e = d * 1
f = c / e
Problem: calculate how much time could be saved if the train would run at its usual speed , given that it ran at 4 / 9 of its own speed and got to its destination in 13 hours ?
Options: a ) 1.22 hrs , b ) 2.22 hrs , c ) 5.22 hrs , d ) 6.22 hrs , e ) 7.22 hrs
Rationale: "new speed = 4 / 9 of usual speed new time = 4 / 9 of usual time 4 / 9 of usual time = 13 hrs usual time = 13 * 4 / 9 = 5.78 hrs time saved = 13 - 5.78 = 7.22 hrs answer is e"
Answer: e
Python program:
a = 13 * const_60
b = 4 / 9
c = 13 * b
d = c * const_60
e = a - d
f = reminder / (
g = f + 100
Problem: the average age of students of a class is 15.8 years . the average age of boys in the class is 16.4 years and that of the girls is 15.3 years . the ration of the number of boys to the number of girls in the class is ?
Options: a ) 5 : 6 , b ) 2 : 3 , c ) 2 : 5 , d ) 2 : 1 , e ) 2 : 4
Rationale: "let the ratio be k : 1 . then , k * 16.4 + 1 * 15.3 = ( k + 1 ) * 15.8 = ( 16.4 - 15.8 ) k = ( 15.8 - 15.3 ) = k = 0.5 / 0.6 = 5 / 6 required ratio = 5 / 6 : 1 = 5 : 6 . answer : a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 15 - 8
b = 16 - 4
c = a / b
Problem: a boy is travelling from his home to school at 6 km / hr and reached 7 min late . next day he travelled at 12 km / hr and reached 8 min early . distance between home and school ?
Options: a ) 2 km , b ) 3 km , c ) 4 km , d ) 5 km , e ) 6 km
Rationale: "let the distance be x t 1 = x / 6 hr t 2 = x / 12 hr difference in time = 7 + 8 = 15 = 1 / 4 hr x / 6 - x / 12 = 1 / 4 x / 12 = 1 / 4 x = 3 km answer is b"
Answer: b
Python program:
a = 7 / const_60
b = 8 / const_60
c = a + b 
d = 1 / 12
e = c / d
Problem: 44 cubic centimetres of silver is drawn into a wire 1 mm in diameter . the length of the wire in metres will be :
Options: a ) 56 m , b ) 88 m , c ) 120 m , d ) 137 m , e ) none
Rationale: "sol . let the length of the wire b h . radius = 1 / 2 mm = 1 / 20 cm . then , 22 / 7 * 1 / 20 * 1 / 20 * h = 44 ⇔ = [ 44 * 20 * 20 * 7 / 22 ] = 5600 cm = 56 m . answer a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 1 / 2
b = a ** 2
