Question: A man rows 750 m in 675 seconds against the stream and returns in 7 and half minutes. His rowing
speed in sƟll water is
(A) 4 kmph
(B) 5 kmph
(C) 6 kmph
(D) 7 kmph
(E) None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Rate upstream = (750/675) = 10/9 m/sec
Rate downstream (750/450) m/sec = 5/3 m/sec
Rate in still water = (1/2)*[(10/9) + (5/3)] m/sec.
= 25/18 m/sec
= (25/18)*(18/5) kmph
= 5 kmph
Answer: B
Answer: (B) 5 kmph

Question: Four staff members at a certain company worked on a project. The amounts of time that the four staff members worked on the project were in the ratio 2 to 3 to 5 to 6. If one of the four staff members worked on the project for 60 hours, which of the following CANNOT be the total number of hours that the four staff members worked on the project?
(A) 480
(B) 160
(C) 320
(D) 192
(E) 240
Rationale: Four members worked in ration 2:3:5:6, hence as everyone mentioned, individual work could be taken as 2x, 3x,5x, and 6x. Also this gives us total work as 16x.
But we are told that one of these individual works is 60hrs. hence, possible scenarios, if
(1)2x =60 => 16x = 480 (2) 3x =60 => 16x = 320 (3) 5x =60 => 16x = 192 (4) 6x =60 => 16x = 160
Hence Answer is E
Answer: (E) 240

Question: Laura has a deck of standard playing cards with 12 of the 72 cards designated as aheart.If Laura shuffles the deck thoroughly and then deals 10 cards off the top of the deck, what is the probability that the 10th card dealt is a heart?
(A) 1/4
(B) 1/5
(C) 5/26
(D) 12/42
(E) 1/6
Rationale: No replacement there, 10 cards are dealt and we are asked to find the probability that 10th card is a heart.
If there is no replacement then how is the (P) that the 10th card is 12/72 ??
there are many cases here to be considered here if there is no replacement such as:
H- Denotes heart X-may be any diamond, spade or club.
1. HXXXXXXXXH
2. HHXXXXXXXH
3. HHHXXXXXXH
.
.
.
.
.
9. HHHHHHHHHH
10. XXXXXXXXXH
All cases from 1 to 10 will have different probabilities for heart to be at the 10th place and it will take hell lot of time to calculate all of them.
For according to me the above solution by Ian is only valid if cards are replaced (Every card has a 12/72 = 1/6 chance of being a heart; it doesn't matter if it's the top card in the deck or the tenth card in the deck.)If that's the case that brings back me to my original question ----how do we determine that the cards are replaced or not?? based on the question given ....

Question: A disease has infected an ant colony that consists ofworkersandsoldiers: 30% of the soldiers and 14% of theworkerswere infected. If that colony is inhabited by 7000 ants, out of which 1540 are infected, how manyworkersinhabit the colony?
(A) 1500
(B) 2500
(C) 2750
(D) 3000
(E) 3500
Rationale: From two question we get wo equations:
(1) 0,3s + 0,14w = 1540
(2) s + w = 7000
From (2) we get w=7000-s
In (1) 0,3s + 980-0,14s= 1540
0,16s=560
56000:16= 3500 =s
In (2) 3500 + w = 7000
w= 3500 E
Answer: (E) 3500
Question: In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'CORPORATION' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?
(A) 50400
(B) 5040
(C) 5004
(D) 7007
(E) 7004
Rationale: In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter.
Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).
This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different.
Number of ways arranging these letters =	7!/2!	= 2520.
Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged
in	5!/3!	= 20 ways.
Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.
ANSWER A
Answer: (A) 50400
Question: A student has to obtain 33% of the total marks to pass. He got 125 marks and failed by 40 marks. The maximum mark is
(A) 600
(B) 500
(C) 400
(D) 300
(E) 800
Rationale: The student got 125 marks and still failed by 40 marks
= 125+40 = 165
therefore 33% of the total marks = 165
100% of the total = 165*100/33=55
max mark = 500
ANSWER B
Answer: (B) 500
Question: Thurston wrote an important seven-digit phone number on a napkin, but the last three numbers got smudged. Thurston remembers only that the last three digits contained at least one zero and at least one non-zero integer. If Thurston dials 30 phone numbers by using the readable digits followed by 30 different random combinations of three digits, each with at least one zero and at least one non-zero integer, what is the probability that he will dial the original number correctly?
(A) 1/9
(B) 10/243
(C) 1/27
(D) 10/271
(E) 1/1000000
Rationale: If the last three digits have 1 zero (XX0), the total # of numbers possible is 9*9*3 (multiply by 3 since XX0 can be arranged in 3 ways: XX0, X0X, or 0XX).
If the last three digits have 2 zeros (X00), the total # of numbers possible is 9*3 (multiply by 3 since X00 can be arranged in 3 ways: X00, 00X, or X0X).
P = 30/(9*9*3+9*3) = 1/9.
Answer:A.
Answer: (A) 1/9

Question: Jim Pete’s only source of income comes from his job as a question writer. In this capacity, Jim earns a flat salary of $200 per week plus a fee of $9 for every question that he writes. Every year, Jim takes exactly two weeks of unpaid vacation to visit his uncle, a monk in Meivazhi Salai, and get inspired for the next year. If a regular year consists of 52 weeks and the number of questions that Jim wrote in each of the past 5 years was an odd number greater than 20, which of the following could be Jim’s median annual income over the past 5 years?
(A) $22,474
(B) $25,673
(C) $27,318
(D) $28,459
(E) $31,227
Rationale: Okay u just need less than one min to answer this question. any odd number greater than 20 means that that last digit must be 1,3,5,7, or 9. 9$ per week for every question. So (odd)(odd) will give odd digit. A and C out. (50 weeks) (200) = 10,000. subtract this amount from option B, D and E and u will find that only option D is divisible by 9 (once 10,000 is subtracted from 28459) so its the right choice..D
Answer: (D) $28,459
Question: If T divided by B equals 9.16 what is a possible remainder?
(A) 8
(B) 9
(C) 2
(D) 6
(E) 5

Question: A train 200 meters long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?
(A) 11
(B) 10
(C) 5
(D) 9
(E) 8
Rationale: Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr
[66 * 5/18] m/sec = [55/3] m/sec.
Time taken to pass the man = [200 * 3/55] sec = 11 sec
ANSWER:A
Answer: (A) 11
