Question: In Sivakasi, each boy’s quota of match sticks to fill into boxes is not more than 200 per session. If he reduces the number of sticks per box by 25, he can fill 3 more boxes with the total number of sticks assigned to him. Which of the following is the possible number of sticks assigned to each boy ?
(A) 200
(B) 150
(C) 100
(D) 175
(E) None
Rationale: Explanation :
Let no. of matchstick assigned to boy=n;
no. of matchsticks he put in each box=x;
And, the no. of boxes=y;
Initially we have;
=> n / x = y. -----------------------(i)
After he reduces no. of matchsticks in each box by 25, we have :-
=> n / x - 25 = y + 3. -----------------------(ii)
On solving eq (i) and (ii), we have;
=> n= 3* x * ( x - 25 ) / 25;
i.e. no. of stick must be a multiple of 25;
Let x=50, we have;
=>3 * 50 * (50-25) /25.
=> 3 * 50 = 150.
Hence, the required number of sticks is 150.
Answer : B

Question: A certain musical scale has has 13 notes, each having a different frequency, measured in cycles per second. In the scale, the notes are ordered by increasing frequency, and the highest frequency is twice the lowest. For each of the 12 lower frequencies, the ratio of a frequency to the next higher frequency is a fixed constant. If the lowest frequency is 880 cycles per second, then the frequency of the 7th note in the scale is how many cycles per second?
(A) 880 * sqrt 2
(B) 880 * sqrt (2^7)
(C) 880 * sqrt (2^12)
(D) 880 * the twelfth root of (2^7)
(E) 880 * the seventh root of (2^12)
Rationale: Let the constant be k.
F1 = 880
F2 = 880k
F3 = 880 k * k = 880 * k^2
F13= 880 * k^12
we know F13 = 2 *F1 = 2 * 880 = 1760
1760/880 = k^12
k = twelfth root of 2
for F7...
F7 = 880 * k^6 ( as we wrote for F2 and F3)
F7 = 880 * (twelfth root of 2) ^ 6
F7 = 880 * sqrt (2)
The answer is A.
Answer: (A) 880 * sqrt 2

(A) 600
(B) 490
(C) 720
(D) 435

Question: Linda spent 4/5 of her savings on furniture and the rest on a TV. If the TV cost her $100, what were her original savings?
(A) $900
(B) $300
(C) $500
(D) $700
(E) $800
Rationale: If Linda spent 4/5 of her savings on furniture, the rest
5 / 5 - 4 / 5 = 1 / 5 on a TV
But the TV cost her $100. So 1 / 5 of her savings is $100. So her original savings are 5 times $100 = $500
correct answer C
Answer: (C) $500
Question: Two dice are tossed once. What is the probability of getting an even number on the first die or a total sum of 11 on the two dice?
(A) 7/9
(B) 5/9
(C) 11/18
(D) 19/36
(E) 23/36
Rationale: There are 36 possible outcomes for two dice.
The number of outcomes with an even number on the first die is 3*6=18.
The number of outcomes with a sum of 11 is 2.
We need to subtract the outcomes that have both an even number on the first die and a sum of 11 because we have counted those outcomes twice. This number of outcomes is 1.
The number of outcomes with either an even number on the first die or a sum of 11 is 18+2-1=19.
The probability is 19/36.
The answer is D.
Answer: (D) 19/36
Question: A person travels equal distances with speeds of 3 km/hr, 4 km/hr and 5 km/hr and takes a total time of 54 minutes. The total distance is?
(A) 1 km
(B) 2 km
(C) 3 km
(D) 3.4 km
(E) 5 km
Rationale: D

Let the total distance be 3x km.
Then, x/3 + x/4 + x/5 = 54/60
47x/60 = 54/60 => x = 1.14
Total distance = 3 * 1.14 = 3.4 km.
Answer: (D) 3.4 km

Question: The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's age was five times the age of the son. After 8 years, son's age will be:
(A) 12 years
(B) 14 years
(C) 18 years
(D) 20 years
(E) 22 years
Rationale: Explanation:
Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively.
Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
54 - x = 5x - 30
6x = 84
x = 14.
Son's age after 8 years = (x+ 8) = 22 years..
Answer: E
Answer: (E) 22 years

Question: At a certain supplier, a machine of type A costs $24,000 and a machine of type B costs $50,000. Each machine can be purchased by making a 20 percent down payment and repaying the remainder of the cost and the finance charges over a period of time. If the finance charges are equal to 40 percent of the remainder of the cost, how much less would 2 machines of type A cost than 1 machine of type B under this arrangement?
(A) $2,640
(B) $11,200
(C) $12,000
(D) $12,800
(E) $13,200
Rationale: Total Cost of 2 Machines of Type A
= 20% of (Cost of 2 machine A) + remainder + 40 % remainder
= 20% of 48000 + (48000 - 20% of 48000) + 40% of (48000 - 20% of 48000)
= 63360
Total Cost of 1 Machine of Type B
= 20% of (Cost of 1 machine B) + remainder + 40 % remainder
= 20% of 50000 + (50000 - 20% of 50000) + 40% of (50000 - 20% of 50000)
= 66000
Diff = 66000 - 63360 = 2640
Hence, A.
Answer: (A) $2,640
