Problem: a straight line in the xy - plane has a slope of 4 and a y - intercept of 4 . on this line , what is the x - coordinate of the point whose y - coordinate is 800 ?
Options: a ) 233 , b ) 299 , c ) 333 , d ) 199 , e ) 339
Rationale: eq of line = y = mx + c m = 4 , c = 4 y = 4 x + 4 , substitute y by 800 as given in question . 800 = 4 x + 4 , x = 199 . correct option is d
Answer: d
Python program:
a = 800 - 4
b = a / 4

Problem: on a saturday night , each of the rooms at a certain motel was rented for either $ 40 or $ 60 . if 10 of the rooms that were rented for $ 60 had instead been rented for $ 40 , then the total rent the motel charged for that night would have been reduced by 50 percent . what was the total rent the motel actually charged for that night ?
Options: a ) $ 400 , b ) $ 800 , c ) $ 1,000 , d ) $ 1,600 , e ) $ 2,400
Rationale: "let total rent the motel charge for all rooms = x if 10 rooms that were rented for 60 $ had instead been rented for 40 $ , then total difference in prices = 20 $ * 10 = 200 $ total rent the motel charged would have been reduced by 50 % . 5 x = 200 = > x = 400 answer a"
Answer: a
Python program:
a = 60 - 40
b = 10 * a
c = 50 / 100

Options: a ) rs . 16241.875 , b ) rs . 15041.85 , c ) rs . 15401.875 , d ) rs . 15041.875 , e ) none of these
Rationale: "explanation : principal = rs 100 x 6016.75 / 8 x 5 = rs . 601675 / 40 = rs . 15041.875 answer : option d"
Answer: d
Python program:
a = 6016 * 75
b = a / 8
c = b / 5
Problem: x starts a business with rs . 45000 . y joins in the business after 2 months with rs . 30000 . what will be the ratio in which they should share the profit at the end of the year ?
Options: a ) 1 : 2 , b ) 9 : 5 , c ) 1 : 5 , d ) 3 : 1 , e ) 1 : 1
Rationale: "explanation : ratio in which they should share the profit = ratio of the investments multiplied by the time period = 45000 ã — 12 : 30000 ã — 10 = 45 ã — 12 : 30 ã — 10 = 3 ã — 12 : 2 ã — 10 = 9 : 5 answer : option b"
Answer: b
Python program:
a = 45000 * 12
b = 4 + 3 
c = 30000 * b
d = a / c
Problem: a train 360 m long is running at a speed of 45 km / hr . in what time will it pass a bridge 165 m long ?
Options: a ) 40 , b ) 99 , c ) 88 , d ) 77 , e ) 42
Rationale: ": speed = 45 * 5 / 18 = 25 / 2 m / sec total distance covered = 360 + 165 = 525 m required time = 525 * 2 / 25 = 42 sec answer : e"
Answer: e
Python program:
a = 45 - 165
b = a * const_0_2778
c = 360 / b
Problem: two pipes can fill a tank in 8 minutes and 5 minutes . an outlet pipe can empty the tank in 12 minutes . if all the pipes are opened when the tank is empty , then how many minutes will it take to fill the tank ?
Options: a ) 30 minutes , b ) 17 minutes , c ) 15 minutes , d ) 10 minutes , e ) 14 minutes
Rationale: "part of the filled by all the three pipes in one minute = 1 / 8 + 1 / 5 - 1 / 12 = ( 15 + 24 - 10 ) / 120 = 29 / 120 so , the tank becomes full in 14 minutes . answer : e"
Answer: e
Python program:
a = 1 / 8
b = 1 / 5
c = a + b 
d = 1 / 12
e = c - d
Problem: the owner of a furniture shop charges his customer 15 % more than the cost price . if a customer paid rs . 8325 for a computer table , then what was the cost price of the computer table ?
Options: a ) rs . 6725 , b ) rs . 7239.13 , c ) rs . 6908 , d ) rs . 6725 , e ) rs . 6728
Rationale: "cp = sp * ( 100 / ( 100 + profit % ) ) = 8325 ( 100 / 115 ) = rs . 7239.13 . answer : b"
Answer: b
Python program:
a = 15 / 100
b = 1 + a 
c = 8325 / b
Problem: a boat takes 19 hours for travelling downstream from point a to point b and coming back to a point c midway between a and b . if the velocity of the stream is 4 km / h and the speed of the boat in still water is 14 km / h , what is the distance between a and b ?
Options: a ) 200 km , b ) 180 km , c ) 160 km , d ) 220 km , e ) none of these
Rationale: "speed of boat for downstream = 14 + 4 = 18 km / hr speed of boat for upstream = 14 – 4 = 10 km / hr distance = x x / 18 + ( x / 2 ) / 10 = 19 x = 180 km answer : b"
Answer: b
Python program:
a = 14 + 4 
b = 1 / a
c = 14 - 4
d = c * 2
e = 1 / d
