Question: A bowl contains pecans, cashews, and almonds in a ratio of 4 : 6 : 9, respectively. If some of the nuts of one of the three types are removed, which of the following could be the ratio of pecans to cashews to almonds remaining in the bowl? i. 1 : 2 : 3 ii. 2 : 3 : 4 iii. 4 : 7 : 10
(A) II only
(B) III only
(C) I only
(D) II,III only
(E) I,III only
Rationale: i. The ratio 2 : 3 is the same as the given ratio 6 : 9. If one pecan were removed, the new ratio would be 3 : 6 : 9, or 1 : 2 : 3.
ii. None of the nuts currently have a ratio of 3 : 4. The cashews and almonds do have a ratio of 2 : 3, but there are not enough pecans in the bowl to complete the ratio.
iii. The ratio 4 : 10 is the same as the given ratio 6 : 15. To see this, multiply the ratio by 3/2 . The new ratio is 6 : 10.5 : 15. Unfortunately, this means that there are fewer cashews that this ratio would require. Removing cashews won’t create the desired ratio.
Answer : C
Answer: (C) I only

Question: When positive integer N is divided by positive integer J, the remainder is 14. If N/J = 134.08, what is value of J?
(A) 22
(B) 56
(C) 78
(D) 112
(E) 175
Rationale: 1) We know that
decimal part of decimal quotient ={remainder/divisor}
So 0.08, the decimal part of the decimal quotient, must equal the remainder, 14, divided by the divisor J.
0.08 = 14/J
0.08*J = 14
J = 14/0.08 = 1400/8 = 700/4 = 350/2 = 175
So J = 175, answer = E.
Answer: (E) 175

Question: Suresh started a business with Rs.20,000. Kiran joined him after 4 months with Rs.30,000. After 2 more months, Suresh withdrew Rs.5,000 of his capital and 2 more months later, Kiran brought in Rs.20,000 more. What should be the ratio in which they should share their profits at the end of the year?
(A) 21:32
(B) 32:21
(C) 12:17
(D) 17:12
(E) 34:21
Rationale: Here capital is not the same.

=(20000×6+15000×6)
Kiran invested Rs.30000 for 4 months and Rs.50000 for next 4 months. Hence his term of ratio
=(30000×4+50000×4)
Suresh : Kiran
=(20000×6+15000×6):(30000×4+50000×4)
=(20×6+15×6):(30×4+50×4)=(20×3+15×3):(30×2:50×2)

Question: Which of the following integers is a divisor of(15!+12)?
(A) 15
(B) 14
(C) 12
(D) 7
(E) 2
Rationale: When we say 15!, it just means 1*2*3*4*5*...*13*14*15
So you need to find the integer which is a divisor of
(1*2*3*4*5*...*13*14*15 + 12) = 12 (1*2*3*4*5*...11*13*14*15 + 1) We obtain this by taking 12 common.
Hence 12 is definitely a divisor of (15! + 12).
C

Question: A jar full of whisky contains 40% alcohol. A part of this whisky is replaced by another containg 19% alcohol and now the percentage of alcohol was found to be 24%. What quantity of whisky is replaced ?
(A) 1/3
(B) 2/3
(C) 2/5
(D) 3/5
(E) 16/21
Rationale: Let us assume the total original amount of whiskey = 10 ml ---> 4 ml alcohol and 6 ml non-alcohol.
Let x ml be the amount removed ---> total alcohol left = 4-0.4x
New quantity of whiskey added = x ml out of which 0.19 is the alcohol.
Thus, the final quantity of alcohol = 4-0.4x+0.19x ----> (4-0.21x)/ 10 = 0.24 ---> x = 160/21 ml.
Per the question, you need to find the x ml removed as a ratio of the initial volume ---> (160/21)/10 = 16/21.
Hence, E is the correct answer.
Answer: (E) 16/21

Question: The price of a Maruti car rises by 30% while the sales of the car come down by 20%. What is the percentage change in the total revenue?
(A) -4%
(B) -2%
(C) +4%
(D) +2%
(E) None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
Let initial price of Maruti car be Rs. 100.
As price increases 30%, the price of car become 100 + 30% of 100 = Rs. 130.
Due to increase in price, sales is down by 20 %.
It means, it is going to make 20% less revenue as expected after increment of price.
So, new revenue = 130 - 20 % of 130 = Rs 104.
The initial revenue was Rs 100 which becomess Rs 104 at the end.
It means there is 4% increment in the total revenue.
Answer : C
Answer: (C) +4%

(A) 21.84
(B) 22.84
(C) 23.84
(D) 24.84
(E) 25.48
Rationale: dinner bill of 6 person = 139 + 10% tip
so,
10% of 139 = (139*10)/100 = 13.9
So, the actual total amount = 139+13.9 = $ 152.9
so per head bill = 152.9/6 = $ 25.48
ANSWER:E

Question: If two balls are randomly selected from a green urn containing 9 black and 9 white balls and placed into a yellow urn initially containing 5 black and 3 white balls. What is the probability that the yellow urn will contain an equal number of black and white balls after the change?
(A) A.2/9
(B) B.4/9
(C) C.4/17
(D) D.1/3
(E) E.1/9
Rationale: To have equal number of black and white balls, the yellow urn must have 5 black and 5 white balls. So the balls we select out of the green urn must be both white.
Probability (first ball is white) = 9/18
Probability(second ball is white) = 8/17
Probability (both balls are white) = (9/18)*(8/17) = 4/17
Answer C
Answer: (C) C.4/17
