Question: There are seven thieves. They stole diamonds from a diamond merchant and ran away. While running, night sets in and they decide to rest in the jungle.
When everybody was sleeping, two of them woke up and decided to divide the diamonds equally among themselves. But when they divided the diamonds equally, one diamond is left.
So they woke up the 3rd thief and tried to divide the diamonds equally again but still one diamond was left. Then they woke up the 4th thief to divide the diamonds equally again, and again one diamond was left. This happened with the 5th and 6th thief – one diamond was still left.
Finally, they woke up the 7th thief and this time the diamonds were divided equally.
How many diamonds did they steal in total?

Question: Three is the largest number that can be divided evenly into 27 and the positive integer x, while 10 is the largest number that can be divided evenly into both 100 and x. Which of the following is the largest possible number that could be divided into x and 2100
(A) 30
(B) 70
(C) 210
(D) 300
(E) 700
Rationale: Since 3 is the GCF of 27 (3.3.3) and x => x has only one "3 in its prime box.
Since 10 (2.5) is the GCF of 100 (2.2.5.5) and x => x has only one 2 and one 5 in its primebox.
So x = 2.3.5.n (n=something that is not 2, 3, 5)
2100 = 2.3.5.7 =210
The GCF of x and 2100 is the product of the common factors of x and 2100 => the max possible is 2100.

Question: Increasing the original price of an article by 15% and then increasing the new price by 15% again is equivalent to increasing the original price by what %?
(A) 34
(B) 40
(C) 68
(D) 88
(E) 102
Rationale: Let the price of a commodity is increased by a% and then b% then the final increment will be
1 + a/100 + b/100 + ab/10000
Now the same logic can be applied with decrements also with just changing the signs.
Let for example price of commodity is increased by a% and then decreased by b% then the resulting increase/decrease will be
1 + a/100 - b/100 -ab/10000
For the above question the approach will be
1 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.0225 = 1.3225 ==> 32.25%

(A) 10.6
(B) 10.9
(C) 10.4
(D) 10.8
(E) 10.1
Rationale: Relative speed = 60 + 40 = 100 km/hr.
= 100 * 5/18 = 250/9 m/sec.
Distance covered in crossing each other = 140 + 160 = 300 m.
Required time = 300 * 9/250 = 54/5 = 10.8 sec.

Question: the difference between a positive fraction and its reciprocal is 9/20 find the sum of that fraction and its reciprocal.
(A) 41/20
(B) 17/20
(C) 11/20
(D) 9/20
(E) None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
Let the fraction = x
Then x − (1/x) = 9/20
⇒ (x2 − 1)/x = 9/20
⇒ x2 − 1 = 9x/20
⇒ 20x2 − 20 = 9x
⇒ 20x2 − 9x − 20 = 0
x=−b±b2−4ac√2ax=−b±b2−4ac2a =9±(−9)2−4×20×(−20)√2×20=9±(−9)2−4×20×(−20)2×20 =9±81+1600√40=9±4140=5040Or−3240=9±81+160040=9±4140=5040Or−3240
Given that the fraction is positive. Hence
x = 50/40 = 5/4
1/x = 4/5
x + (1/x) = (5/4) + (4/5) = (5 × 5 + 4 × 4)/20 = 41/20. Answer : Option A
Answer: (A) 41/20
