Answer: Option B |
All 250 files on Sam's hard drive are infected by either a virus or a worm or both. The number of files that are infected only by a worm is 2.5 times the number of files that are infected by both a virus and a worm. If 50% of the files were not infected by a virus, how many of Sam's files were NOT infected by a worm? options: (A)50, (B)70, (C)75, (D)100, (E)125 | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | C, Explanation: n(Total) = 250
n(only worm) = 125(50% of total)
n(only worm ) = 2.5 * n(both worm and virus)
So,
n(both worn and virus) = 125/2.5 = 50
n(Total) = n(only worm) + n(both worm and virus) + n(only virus)
n(only virus) = 250-125-50 = 75
Hence, the files not infected by worm is n(Only virus) = 75

A father wants to divide Rs. 5100 between his two sons, Mohan and Sohan who are 23 and 24 at present. He divides the amount in such a way that if their shares are invested at compound interest at 4% p.a. they will receive equal amount on attaining the age of 26 years. Find Mohan's share. options: (A)2400, (B)2500, (C)2600, (D)2700, (E)None of these | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | B, Explanation: Let, the amount Mohan and Sohan receive be Rs. m and Rs. n, respectively. The amount that they receive 3 years and 2 years after should be equal.
⇒m(1+4/100)3=n(1+4/100)2
⇒m(1+4/100)=n
⇒m(26/25)=n
⇒m/n=25/26
Therefore, Rs.5100 must be distribued in the ratio 25 : 26
So Mohan's share = 5100×25/(25+26)=2500

A certain liquid passes through a drain at a rate of w/25 gallons every x seconds. At that rate, how many minutes will it take y gallons to pass through the drain? options: (A)y/(1200xy), (B)20xy/w, (C)5xy/(12w), (D)w/(3xy), (E)3y/(wx) | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | C, Explanation: Time needed for w/25 gallons of liquid to pass through a drain = x seconds
Time needed for w gallons of liquid to pass through a drain = 25x seconds
Time needed for y gallons of liquid to pass through a drain = (25x/w)*y = 25xy/w seconds
= (25xy/w )/60 = 5xy/(12w) mins

A coin made of alloy of aluminum and silver measures 2 x 15 mm (it is 2 mm thick and its diameter is 15 mm). If the weight of the coin is 30 grams and the volume of aluminum in the alloy equals that of silver, what will be the weight of a coin measuring 1 x 30 mm made of pure aluminum if silver is twice as heavy as aluminum? options: (A)36 grams, (B)40 grams, (C)42 grams, (D)48 grams, (E)50 grams | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | B, Explanation: Coin is basically a cylinder.
So volume of coin T= pi r^2 h = pi (7.5)^2 * 2
Coin=Silver+Aluminum
Now total volume of coin(T) = volume of silver + volume of aluminum
Also, volume of silver(Vs)= volume of aluminum(Va)
T= Va+Vb
T=2Va
Va=T/2= pi (7.5)^2 * 2 /2 = pi (7.5)^2
Silver is twice as heavy as aluminum.
Let the weight of aluminum in coin be x
Weight of Silver = 2x
Total weight of coin = 30
x+2x=30
x=10
Weight of Aluminum in coin is 10gm
Wright of Silver in coin is 20gm.
Weight of Aluminum in coin is 10gm and volume is pi (7.5)^2
Now new Aluminum coin is made with dimension 1x30mm.
Volume of this new coin = pi (15)^2*1.
Volume of pi (7.5)^2 contains weight of 10 gm of aluminum
Volume of pi (15)^2*1 will contain = 10/ pi(7.5)^ * pi (15)^2 * 1= 40gm

What is the largest integral value of 'k' for which the quadratic equation x2 - 5x + k = 0 will have two real and distinct roots? options: (A)9, (B)7, (C)3, (D)8, (E)12 | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | C, Explanation: Any quadratic equation will have real and distinct roots if the discriminant D > 0
The discriminant 'D' of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is given by b2 - 4ac
In this question, the value of D = 52 - 4 * 1 * k
If D > 0, then 25 > 4k or k < 6.2.
Therefore, the highest integral value that k can take is 3.

Mr.Sam takes 17 hours to go by train to a certain city and return by car. He loses 4 hours if he goes both ways by train. How long would he have taken if he had traveled by car in both ways? options: (A)22 hrs, (B)18 hrs, (C)16 hrs, (D)20 hrs, (E)13 hrs | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | E, Explanation: Going one way by train and one way by car, he takes 17 hours.
Going both ways by train, he takes 4 hours more => The train takes 4 hours more one way
Therefore travelling both ways by car, he takes 4 hours less than 17
=> He takes 17-4 = 13 hours.

John conducted a survey about car color. 60% of the people who took the survey were women. Of the men who were surveyed, 75% preferred red cars over green cars. If 10 men liked green cars more than red, how many people took the survey? options: (A)100, (B)120, (C)50, (D)200, (E)80 | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | A, Explanation: Let N be the number of people who took the survey. The number of men M is given by M = N - 60%N.
The number of men G who liked green cars more than red cars is given by
G = M - 25%M
Given that G = 10, solve for N
40 = (N - 60%N) - 25%(N - 60%N)
N = 100

The average wages of a worker during a fortnight comprising of 15 consecutive working days was $90 per day. During the first 7 days, his average wage was $87 per day and the average wage during the last 7 days was $92 per day. What was his wage on the 8th day? options: (A)$83, (B)$92, (C)$90, (D)$97, (E)$104 | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | D, Explanation: The total wage earned during the 15 days that the worker worked = 15 * 90 = $ 1350.
The total wage earned during the first 7 days = 7 * 87 = $ 609.
The total wage earned during the last 7 days = 7 * 92 = $ 644.
Total wage earned during the 15 days = wage during first 7 days + wage on 8th day + wage during the last 7 days.
Or 1350 = 609 + wage on 8th day + 644
Wage on 8th day = 1350 - 609 - 644 = $ 97.

If Q, a positive integer, has 5 factors, which of the following must be true about Q?
I. Q is the square of a prime number.
II. Q is the fourth power of a prime number.
III. Q is the product of two prime numbers. options: (A)I only, (B)III only, (C)II only, (D)I and II only, (E)I and III only | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | B, Explanation: If Q has 5 factors, we can represent Q = a^4, where a is positive integer more than 1.Let's assume that "a" is not a prime number. Let a = kp, where both k and p are positive integers.
Thus, Q = (kp)4=k4∗p4(kp)4=k4∗p4. Now the number of factors of Q = (4+1)*(4+1) = 25. But as the given condition states that Q has ONLY 5 factors, thus "a" can't have any other factor except 1 and itself. Thus, a = prime number.
Statement I :We can represent Q = (a^2)^2. Thus, we have to prove whether a^2 is a prime number. Take a=2. We can see that it is not a prime number. Thus, this option can't answer a "MUST be true question"
Statement II : Always true as proved above.
Statement III : Again take a =2. Thus, Q = 64. We don't have this as product of 2 primes.

Two numbers are said to be relatively prime if they share no common positive factors other than 1. Set S contains the set of integers from 1 to 1,000, inclusive. What is the probability that a number chosen from S is relatively prime to 1,000? options: (A)5/7, (B)3/5, (C)4/7, (D)2/5, (E)2/7 | Please read the question and options carefully, then select the most appropriate answer and provide the corresponding explanation. | D, Explanation: We need all numbers between 1 and 1000 that are co-prime.
Between 1 to 10 there are 4 : 1,3,7,9
Take the period of 10's , we have 100 periods of 10's between 1 to 1000
So the total number of co-primes = 400
Now, the simple part ...
Probability = 400/1000 (i.e picking a co-prime from the first 1000 numbers )
