Question: Bus 1 and Bus 2 run between cities A and B. Bus 1 leaves city A at the same time Bus 2 leaves city B,
each at a constant rate of speed. Their first meeting is 90 miles from city A. After reaching their
respective destinations and immediately turning around, their second meeting is 30 miles from city B.
What is the distance in miles between city A and city B?
(A) 90
(B) 120
(C) 125
(D) 150
(E) 240
Rationale: let d=distance between cities A and B
bus 1 distance to first meeting=90 miles
bus 1 distance from first to second meeting=(d-90)+30=d-60 miles
bus 2 distance to first meeting=d-90 miles
bus 2 distance from first to second meeting=90+(d-30)=d+60 miles
because both buses take the same time for the pre-meeting leg, and
the same time for the inter-meeting leg, and their speeds remain
constant, their ratios between pre-meeting distance and inter-meeting
distance should be the same
therefore, 90/(d-60)=(d-90)/(d+60)
d^2=240d
d=240 miles

Question: On his drive to work, Leo listens to one of three radio stations A, B or C. He first turns to A. If A is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns it to B. If B is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns it to C. If C is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns off the radio. For each station, the probability is 0.25 that at any given moment the station is playing a song Leo likes. On his drive to work, what is the probability that Leo will hear a song he likes?
(A) 0.027
(B) 0.09
(C) 0.417
(D) 0.578
(E) 0.9
Rationale: Probability he hears a song is like:
Tune to A and likes what he is hearing = 0.25
Tune to A, don't find he like what they are airing, then tune to B and likes what he finds there = 0.75 * 0.25 = 0.1875
Tune to A, finds crap there, Tune to B, hears a similar crap, Tune to C and finally falls in love with the program = 0.75^2 * 0.25 = 0.1406
Total = 0.578
Ans D

Answer is C
Answer: (C) 24.3%
Question: Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?
(A) 3100
(B) 210
(C) 21300
(D) 25200
(E) 24400
Rationale: Number of ways of selecting 3 consonants from 7 =7C3
Number of ways of selecting 2 vowels from 4 = 4C2
Number of ways of selecting 3 consonants from 7 and 2 vowels from 4
= 7C3 × 4C2
= 210
It means we can have 210 groups where each group contains total 5 letters (3 consonants and 2 vowels).
Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves
=5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
Hence, required number of ways=210×120=25200

Question: Mixture S is 20% oil and 80% material B by weight. If 2 more kilograms of oil are added to the 8 kilograms mixture S, how many kilograms of mixture S must be added to make a 70% material B in the new mixture?
(A) A)6
(B) B)7
(C) C)8
(D) D)9
(E) E)10
Rationale: Can be done with weighted avg method.
if 2 kg more of oil is added to 20% oil of 8 kg mix,then a 10kg of mix will have 3.6kg (or 36%) of oil .
S1=20(initial mix.)
Avg. is what we need..ie 70% of material B means 30% of oil
S2=36(36% of 10 kg mix)
w1/w2=(S2-Avg)/(Avg-S1)
(36-30)/(30-20)
6/10
means for every 10 kg of new mix. we need 6 kg of mix S
Ans A

Question: You collect baseball cards. Suppose you start out with 21. Maria takes half of one more than the number of baseball cards you have. Since you're nice, you give Peter 1 baseball card. Since his father makes baseball cards, Paul decides to triple your baseball cards. How many baseball cards do you have at the end?
(A) 17
(B) 18
(C) 19
(D) 20
(E) 27
Rationale: Solution
Start with 21 baseball cards.
Maria takes half of one more than the number of baseball cards you have. So Maria takes half of 21 + 1 which is 11,
so you're left with 21 - 11 = 10.
Peter takes 1 baseball card from you: 10 - 1 = 9 baseball cards.
Paul triples the number of baseball cards you have: 9 Ã— 3 = 27 baseball cards.
So you have 27 at the end.

Question: Randy'sbar serves customers every weeknight from 4 pm to 1 am. In Randy's bar,Silvermoonbeer is sold at a constant rate except during happy hour, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, when the rate triples.
If a keg of Silvermoon beer is half empty at 5pm on Monday, and two-thirds empty at the beginning of the happy hour, when will it be completely empty?
(A) Monday, 7:30 pm
(B) Monday, 9 pm
(C) Monday, 7 pm
(D) Monday, 6:45 pm
(E) Monday, 9:30 pm
Rationale: Let the keg be a 150 Litre keg
At 5 pm.. There are 75 litres
At 6:30 pm there are 50 litres.
So, consumption rate is 25 litres per 1.5 hours.
So it will take 3 hours to finish 50 litres at this rate.
During happy hour it sells 3 times faster. So, rate = 1 hour per 50 litres.
So, keg becomes empty at 6:30 + 1 hour = 7 pm
Answer is C
Answer: (C) Monday, 7 pm

Question: The difference between the compound interest and simple interest accrued on an amount at the end of three years at the rate of 12% is Rs.381.888. What is the amount?
(A) Rs. 9500
(B) Rs. 8400
(C) Rs.8500
(D) Rs.8200
(E) Rs.7200
Rationale: Explanation:
C.I = P[(1+R/100)T - 1]
= P[(1+12/100)3 - 1] = P[(28/25)3 - 1]
= P[(21952/15625) - 1]
= 6327P/15625
S.I = (P x 3 x 12)/100 = Rs. 9P/25
6327P/15625 - 9P/25 = 381.888
=> 702P/15625 = 381.888
=> P = (381.888 x 15625)/702
= Rs. 8500
Answer: Option C

Question: A full-time employee’s hourly wage was increased by 10%. He decided to decrease the number of hours worked per week so that his total income did not change. By approximately what percent should the number of hours worked be decreased?
(A) 7%
(B) 9%
(C) 25%
(D) 50%
(E) 100%
Rationale: Let's plug in somenicenumbers and see what's needed.
Let's say the employee used to make $1/hour and worked 100 hours/week
So, the TOTAL weekly income was $100/week
After the 10% wage increase, the employee makes $1.10/hour
We want the employee's income to remain at $100/week.
So, we want ($1.10/hour)(new # of hours) = $100
Divide both sides by 1.10 to get:
new # of hours = 100/1.10
≈ 90 hours
So, the number of hours decreases from 100 hours to (approximately) 90 hours.
This represents a 10% decrease (approximately) .
Answer choice B is the closest answer.
Answer: (B) 9%
Question: A train passes a station platform in 37 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
(A) 248 m
(B) 240 m
(C) 277 m
(D) 255 m
(E) 176 m
Rationale: Speed = (54 * 5/18) m/sec = 15 m/sec. Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m. Let the length of the platform be x meters. Then, (x + 300)/37 = 15 ==> x + 300 = 555 ==> x
= 255 m.
Answer: D
Answer: (D) 255 m
Question: A man misses a bus by 40 minutes if he travels at 30 kmph. If he travels at 40 kmph, then also he misses the bus by 10 minutes. What is the minimum speed required to catch the bus on time?
(A) 55 kmph
(B) 45 kmph
(C) 54 kmph
(D) 35 kmph
(E) 65 kmph
Rationale: B
45 kmph
Let the distance to be travelled to catch the bus be x km
x/30 - x/40 = 30/60 => (4x - 3x)/120 = 1/2 => x = 60 km
By traavelling 30 kmph time taken = 60/30 = 2 hours
By taking 2 hours, he is late by 40 min. So, he has to cover 60 km in at most speed = 60/(4/3) = 45 kmph.
Answer: (B) 45 kmph

Question: Two trains start at same time from two stations and proceed towards each other at the rate of 20 km/hr and 25 km/hr respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has traveled 60 km more than the other. What is the distance between the two stations?
(A) 540 km
(B) 767 km
(C) 276 km
(D) 178 km
(E) 176 km
Rationale: Explanation:
Let us assume that trains meet after 'x' hours
Distance = speed * Time
Distance traveled by two trains = 20x km and 25x km resp.
As one train travels 60 km more than the other,
25x – 20x = 60
5x = 60
x = 12 hours
As the two trains are moving towards each other, relative speed = 20 + 25 = 45 km/hr
Therefore, total distance = 45*12 = 540 km.
ANSWER: A
Answer: (A) 540 km
Question: John spent a total of $135 on baseball tickets. The price of a ticket is either $12 for the field seats or $5 for the balcony. What is the minimum amount Q of dollars he could have spent for the $12 tickets?

Question: If p^2 – 13p + 40 = s, and p is a positive integer between 1 and 10, inclusive, what is the probability that s < 0?
(A) 1/10
(B) 1/5
(C) 2/5
(D) 3/5
(E) 3/10
Rationale: p2 – 13p + 40 = s
so (p – 8)(p – 5) = s
For q to be negative, the expressions (p – 8) and (p – 5) must have opposite signs. Which integers on the number line will yield opposite signs for the expressions (p – 8) and (p – 5)? Those integers in the range 5 < p < 8 (notice 5 and 8 are not included because they would both yield a value of zero and zero is a nonnegative integer). That means that there are only two integer values for p, 6 and 7, that would yield a negative q. With a total of 10 possible p values, only 2 yield a negative q, so the probability is 2/10 or 1/5.
The correct answer is B.
Answer: (B) 1/5

Question: Each person who attended a company meeting was either a stockholder in the company, an employee of the company, or both. If 62 percent of those who attended the meeting were stockholders and 42 percent were employees, what percent were stockholders who were not employees?
(A)  34%
(B)  58%
(C)  45%
(D)  53%
(E)  62%
Rationale: Let M represent the number of meeting attendees. Then, since 62% of M or 0.62M
were stockholders and 42% of M or 0.42M were employees, it follows that 0.62M +
0.42M = 1.04M were either stockholders, employees, or both. Since 1.04M exceeds
M, the excess 1.04M − M = 0.04M must be the number of attendees who were both
stockholders and employees, leaving the rest 0.62M − 0.04M = 0.58M, or 58%, of
the meeting attendees to be stockholders but not employees.
The correct answer is B.
Answer: (B)  58%
Question: The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 7 : 8. If the second train runs 400 km in 4 hours, then the speed of the first train is?
(A) 70 km/hr
(B) 75 km/hr
(C) 84 km/hr
(D) 87.5 km/hr
(E) 90.5 km/hr
Rationale: Let the speed of two trains be 7x and 8x km/hr.
Then, 8x = [ 400/4] = 100
x = [100/8] = 12.5
Speed of first train = (7 x 12.5) km/hr = 87.5 km/hr.
Answer is D
Answer: (D) 87.5 km/hr
