Question: Two buses and a van were employed to transport a class of students on a field trip. 4/5 of the class boarded the first bus. 2/3 of the remaining students boarded the second bus, and the rest of the students boarded the van. When the second bus broke down, 1/2 of the students on the second bus boarded the first bus. What fraction of the class was on board the first bus?
(A) a) 1/2
(B) b) 26/30
(C) c) 11/15
(D) d) 23/30
(E) e) 4/5
Rationale: This is a pure ratio question (we aren't given any numbers for anything), so you can just choose any starting number you like, and use it to solve the problem. The best number to pick is almost always the product of all the denominators of your fractions, so here we could start with 30 students. Then we have:
• 4/5 of these, or 24 students, board the first bus
• there are 6 students left. 2/3 of these, or 4 students, board the second bus
• this bus breaks down, and 1/2 of the 4 students, or 2 students, board the first bus
• the first bus now contains 26 out of the original 30 students, so the answer is 26/30
Answer B
Answer: (B) b) 26/30

Question: X does 80% of a work in 20 days. He then calls in Y and they together finish the remaining work in 3 days. How long Y alone would take to do the whole work?
(A) 37 1/2
(B) 35
(C) 36
(D) 25
(E) 34
Rationale: Whole work is done by X in ( 20 x 5/4) = 25 days.
Now, ( 1 - 4 /5) i.e., 1/5	work is done by X and Y in 3 days.
Whole work will be done by X and Y in (3 x 5) = 15 days.
A's 1 day's work = 1 , (X + Y)'s 1 day's work = 1 .
25 15
Therefore Y's 1 day's work = ( 1/15	- 1 /25	) = 4/150 = 2/75
So, Y alone would do the work in 75/2	= 37 1/2 days.

Question: The juice stall at the circus stocked just 2 brands of orange juice tetra packs. Brand A costs $1 per pack and brand B costs $1.5 per pack. Last week , brand A contributed to m% of stall’s revenue and accounted for n% of sales of juice tetra packs. Which of the following expresses m in terms of n?
(A) 100n/(150 – n)
(B) 200n/(250-n)
(C) 200n/(300-n)
(D) 250n/(400-n)
(E) 300n/(500-n)
Rationale: Let the number of units sold be 100. Then n units of A are sold and (100-n) units of B are sold.
Total revenue= Revenue due to A + Revenue due to B
= (No.of units of A sold * Cost/unit of A) + (No.of units of B sold * cost/unit of B)
= n *1 + (100-n) *1.5
= n + (150-1.5n) --- (1)
2. But we know, revenue due to A = m%. of the total revenue --- (2)
3. To express m in terms of n we need to relate (1) and (2)
4. m% = n / ( n + (150-1.5n))

Question: If 5 machines can produce 20 units in 10 hours, how long would it take 20 machines to produce 120 units?
(A) 50 hours
(B) 40 hours
(C) 15 hours
(D) 12 hours
(E) 8 hours
Rationale: Here, we're told that 5 machines can produce 20 units in 10 hours....
That means that EACH machine WORKS for 10 hours apiece. Since there are 5 machines (and we're meant to assume that each machine does the same amount of work), then the 5 machines equally created the 20 units.
20 units/5 machines = 4 units are made by each machine every 10 hours
Now that we know how long it takes each machine to make 4 units, we can break THIS down further if we choose to...
10 hours/4 units = 2.5 hours per unit when 1 machine is working.
The prompt asks us how long would it take 20 machines to produce 120 units.
If 20 machines each work for 2.5 hours, then we'll have 20 units. Since 120 units is '6 times' 20, we need '6 times' more TIME.
(2.5 hours)(6 times) = 15hours

Question: The length of the side of square A is twice the length of the side of square B. What is the ratio of the area of square A to the area of square B?
(A) 4:1
(B) 1:1
(C) 2:1
(D) 1:2
(E) 1:21
Rationale: Solution
Let x be the length of the side of square A and y be the length of the side of square B with x = 2 y. Area of A and B are given by
A = x^2 and B = y^2
But x = 2y. Hence
A = (2y)^2 = 4 y^2
The ratio of A to B is
4 y^2 / y^2 = 4 / 1 or 4:1
ANSWER IS A
Answer: (A) 4:1

Question: The captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 26 years old and the wicket keeper is 3 years older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is one year less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team?
(A) 23 years
(B) 24 years
(C) 25 years
(D) None of these
(E) 18 years
Rationale: Let the average age of the whole team by x years.
11x - (26 + 29) = 9(x -1)
11x - 9x = 46
2x = 46
x = 23.
So, average age of the team is 23 years.
