Question: If three numbers are added in pairs, the sums equal 10,19 and 21. Find the numbers?
(A) 5, 10, 15
(B) 6, 4, 15
(C) 2, 4, 8
(D) 15, 20, 25
(E) None
Rationale: Sol.
Let the numbers be x, y and z.
Then, x + y = 10 ............(i) and
y + z = 19 ....................(II) and
x + z =21 ...............(III)
Adding (i),(ii) and (iii), we get : 2(x+y+z) = 50 or (x+y+z) = 25.
Thus, x = (25 - 19) = 6;
y = (25 - 21) = 4;
z = (25 - 10) = 15.
Hence, the required numbers are 6, 4 and 15.
Answer B
Answer: (B) 6, 4, 15
Question: Two kinds of Vodka are mixed in the ratio 1:2 and 2:1 and they are sold fetching the profit 10% and 20% respectively. If the vodkas are mixed in equal ratio and the individual profit percent on them are increased by 4/3 and 5/3 times respectively, then the mixture will fetch the profit of
(A) 18%
(B) 20%
(C) 21%
(D) 23%
(E) Cannot be determined
Rationale: Mixture 1 and 2 having individual profit % of 10 and 20 respectively.
individual profits of vodka A for mixture 1 = 1/3 * 10 = 3.33
individual profits of vodka B for mixture 1 = 2/3 * 10 = 6.77
Individual profits for A and B are increased 4/3 and 5/3 times.
Means profits of mixtures 1 and 2 will increase too.
Increased profits of Vodka A for mixture 1 = 4/3 * 3.33 = 4.44
Increased profits of Vodka B for mixture 2 = 5/3 * 6.77 = 10.55
total increased profits for mixture 1 = 14.99
Similarly
total increased profits for mixture 2 = 24.42
using allegation formula
Va: Vb = 1:1 = [24.42 - (profit of mixture)] / [(profit of mixture)- 14.99]
hence profit of mixture = 19.705 approx = 20%
ANSWER:B
Answer: (B) 20%
Question: A certain list consists of 21 different numbers. If n is in the list and n is 4 times the average (arithmetic mean) of the other 20 numbers in the list, then n is what fraction of the sum of the 21 numbers in the list?

(B) 1/6
(C) 1/5
(D) 4/21
(E) 5/21
Rationale: Series : a1, a2....a20,n
sum of a1+a2+...+a20 = 20*x (x = average)
so, n = 4*x
Hence, a1+a2+..+a20+n = 24x
So, the fraction asked = 4x/24x = 1/6;
Answer: B.
Answer: (B) 1/6

Question: In a bag, there are four 6-sided dice (numbered 1 to 6), three 12-sided dice (numbered 1 to 12), and two 20-sided dice (numbered 1 to 20). If four of these dice are selected at random from the bag, and then the four are rolled and we find the sum of numbers showing on the four dice, how many different possible totals are there for this sum?
(A) 60
(B) 61
(C) 424
(D) 840
(E) 960
Rationale: As 'complex-looking' as this question might appear, it's actually rather simple. Pay careful attention to what the specific questions asks for - the number of DIFFERENT possible SUMS from 4 dice. Since we're dealing with some 'special' dice (some 12-sided and 20-sided dice), we have to adjust out math accordingly, but the possibilities are rather limited:
1) The minimum number on any given die is 1
2) The maximum possible sum would only occur if we took the 4 biggest possible dice and rolled the highest possible number on each.
With 4 dice, we could end up with any SUM between:
4 (if we rolled 1s on all 4 dice)
to
64 (if we rolled two 20s on the 20-sided dice and two 12s on the 12-sided dice).
Thus, there are only 61 possible sums.

Question: A technology company made a $5 million profit on its first $15 million in sales and a $12 million profit on its next $30 million in sales. By what percent did the ratio of profit to sales increase from the first $15 million in sales to the next $30 million in sales?
(A) 10%
(B) 20%
(C) 30%
(D) 40%
(E) 50%
Rationale: Solution:
This is a percent increase problem. We will use the formula: percent change = (new – old)/old x 100 to calculate the final answer.
We first set up the ratios of profits to sales. The first ratio will be for the first 15 million in sales, and the second ratio will be for the next 30 million in sales. Because all of the sales are in millions, we do not have to express all the trailing zeros in our ratios.
First 15 Million
profit/sales = 5/15 =1/3
Next 30 Million
profit/sales = 12/30 = 2/5
We can simplify each ratio by multiplying each by the LCM of the two denominators, which is 15. Keep in mind that we are able to do this only because our answer choices are expressed in percents.
First 15 Million
royalties/sales = (1/3) x 15 = 5
Next 30 Million
royalties/sales = (2/5) x 15 = 6
We can plug 5 and 6 into our percent change formula:
(new – old)/old x 100
[(6 – 5)/5] x 100
1/5 x 100, so a 20% increase.
Answer B.
Answer: (B) 20%
Question: J is 25% less than P and 20% less than T. T is e% less than P. What is the value of e?
(A) 93.5
(B) 90
(C) 6.75
(D) 6.25
(E) 2
Rationale: Usually We can solve every question of this type by choosing appropriate value of the Variable and deriving the value of other related variables.
Let, P = 400
then J = (75/100)*400 = 300
also J = (80/100)*T
i.e. T = 300*100/80 = 375
and T = [1-(e/100)]*P
i.e. 100-e = 100*T/P = 100*375/400 = 93.75
i.e. e = 6.25

Question: If a positive integer n has 211 factors,then how many prime factors does n have?
(A) 3
(B) 2
(C) cannot be determined
(D) 4
(E) 1
Rationale: Let the factor be a^x*b^y.....
So (x+1)(y+1).....=211..
Now 211 is a prime number...
So only one variable x or y is 210 and the others are 0..
(210+1)(0+1)...
So the number becomes a^210..
Thus only ONE prime factor is there.

Question: Two cyclists start from the same place to ride in the same direction. A starts at noon at 8 kmph and B at 1.30 pm at 10 kmph. How far will A have ridden before he is over taken by B ?Find also at what times A and B will be 5 km apart.
(A) 5pm and 10pm
(B) 6pm and 10pm
(C) 4pm and 8 pm
(D) 5pm and 8 pm
(E) None of these
Rationale: Sol. If A rides for X hours before he is overtaken, then B rides for(X – 15) hrs.
=> 8X = 10 (X – 1.5) => X = 7.5
=> A will have ridden 8 × 7.5 km ro 60 km.
For the second part, if Y = the required number of hours after noon, then
8X = 10 (X – 1.5) ± 5
=> X = 10 or 5 according as B is ahead or behind A.
=> The required times are 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Answer A
Answer: (A) 5pm and 10pm
