Question: A clock store sold a certain clock to a collector for 15 percent more than the store had originally paid for the clock. When the collector tried to resell the clock to the store, the store bought it back at 45 percent of what the collector had paid. The shop then sold the clock again at a profit of 85 percent on its buy-back price. If the difference between the clock's original cost to the shop and the clock's buy-back price was $80, for how much did the shop sell the clock the second time?
(A) $168.58
(B) $187.54
(C) $158.74
(D) $120.56
(E) $200.84
Rationale: Now, in the question above, lets say the original cost of the clock to store was C$ and then it sold the same to the collector at 15% profit.
This means the clocks' selling price was C (1.15) and this becomes cost price for the collector.
Now, when the collector tries to sell the same clock to the store, the store buys it for 45% the price at which the collector bought it.
Thus, you get = 1.15*0.45*C = 0.5175 C
Furthermore, the store sells the clock for the second time for 85% profit and thus the selling price of the clock becomes = cost price of the clock for the store at buy-back * 1.85 = 1.85 * 0.5175 C
Finally given that C - 0.5175 C = 80 ----> C = 165.80$
Thus, the cost of the clock the second time around = 1.85*0.5175 C = 1.85 * 0.5175 * 165.80 = 158.74$. Hence C is the correct answer.
Answer: (C) $158.74

Question: How many points (x, y) lie on the line segment between (32, 12 2/3) and (7, 17 2/3) such that x and y are both integers?
(A) one
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 8
(E) 9
Rationale: slope = (17 2/3 - 12 2/3) / (7 - 32) = -1/5
y = mx + b => 12 2/3 = -22/3 + b => b = 19
y = -x/5 + 19
Only integer values work, and the only multiples of 5 between 7 and 32 for x values are 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30, thus 5 points.

Question: For the past n days, the average (arithmetic mean) daily production at a company was 50 units. If today's production of 90 units raises the average to 54 units per day, what is the value of n ?
(A) 30
(B) 18
(C) 10
(D) 9
(E) 7
Rationale: (average production for n days) * n = (total production for n days) --> 50n=(total production for n days);
(total production for n days) + 90 = (average production for n+1 days) * (n+1) --> 50n + 90 = 54 * (n+1) --> n=9.
Or as 40 extra units increased the average for n+1 days by 4 units per day then 40/(n+1)=4 --> n=9.

(A) 40%
(B) 45%
(C) 50%
(D) 55%
(E) 60%
Rationale: Since we are asking of water in the end, lets concentrate on water only..
A solution has 2 quarts with fraction of water =2/3, almost 67%..
B solution has 3 quarts with fraction of water =3/8 almost 37%..
so the ratio A:B=2:3...
the average will therefore be closer to B % and will be 2/(2+3) of {67-37} away from B..
2/(2+3) of {67-37}= 2/5 * 30 =12..
so 37 +12 =49 nearly 50%

Question: When positive integer k is divided by 5, the remainder is 2. When k is divided by 6, the remainder is 5. If k is less than 41, what is the remainder when k is divided by 7?
(A) 3
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 6
(E) 7
Rationale: Cant think of a straight approach but here is how I solved it:
K is divided by 5 and remainder is 2. This means k = 5n + 2 (n is an integer)
so the possible values of K = {2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37} (less than 41)
Secondly, if K is divided by 6, the remainder is 5 => k= 6m + 5
so the possible value set for k = {5, 11, 17, 23, 29,35} (less than 41)

90 × 5/18 = 25.
Answer: Option A
Answer: (A) 25 m/s
Question: If a man walks 24 Km at 8 Kmph, he will be late by 25min. if he walks 12 Kmph, how early the fixed time Will he reach?
(A) 30 minutes
(B) 25 minutes
(C) 40 minutes
(D) 35 minutes
(E) 20 minutes
Rationale: Time taken to cover 24 Km at the speed of 8 Kmph = 24/8 = 3 hours
Thus, right time was 2 hours 35 mintes
Now, time taken to cover 20 Km at the speed as 12 Kmph = 2 hours
Required time = 2 hours 35 minutes - 2 hours
= 35 minutes
ANSWER IS D

Question: In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'DETAIL' be arranged such that the vowels must occupy only the odd positions?
(A) 12
(B) 36
(C) 45
(D) 96
(E) 83
Rationale: The word 'DETAIL' has 6 letters which has 3 vowels (EAI) and 3 consonants(DTL)
The 3 vowels(EAI) must occupy only the odd positions. Let's mark the positions as (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6). Now, the 3 vowels should only occupy the 3 positions marked as (1),(3) and (5) in any order.
Hence, number of ways to arrange these vowels
= 3P3 =3!=3×2×1=6
Now we have 3 consonants(DTL) which can be arranged in the remaining 3 positions in any order. Hence, number of ways to arrange these consonants
= 3P3=3!=3×2×1=6
Total number of ways
= number of ways to arrange the vowels × number of ways to arrange the consonants
=6×6=36
Answer: B

Question: 10 meters of wire is available to fence off a flower bed in the form of a circular sector. What must the radius of the circle in meters be, if we wish to have a flower bed with the greatest possible surface area?
(A) 5/2
(B) 2√5
(C) 5
(D) 4√2
(E) none of these
Rationale: Area of Sector, A = x/360*pi*r^2
Circumference of the sector = 10
=> x/360*2*pi*r +2r= 20
=> 2A/r+2r=10 OR 2A +2r^2=10r
=> A= r5-r^2
= r5-r^2
We will now max using derivations
i.e 5-2r=0
r=5/2
A
Answer: (A) 5/2

Question: How many two digit numbers are there such that the product of their digits after reducing it to the smallest form is a prime number? for example if we take 98 then 9*8=72, 72=7*2=14, 14=1*4=4. Consider only 4 prime numbers (2,3,5,7)
(A) 27
(B) 28
(C) 18
(D) 99
(E) 01
Rationale: Explanation:
2 = 12 or 21 So 1×2, 2×1, 3×4, 4×3, 2×6, 6×2, 3×7, 7×3
3 = 13 or 31 So 1×3, 3×1
5 = 15, 51 So 1×5, 5×1, 3×5, 5×3, 7×5, 5×7
7 = 17 or 71 So 1×7, 7×1
15 = 3×5 = 5×3
So total 18 numbers = 12,13,15,17,21,26,31,34,35,37,43,51,53,57,62,71,73,75
Answer:C
