Question: At a certain stage of a soccer tournament, the score ratio of teams A, B and C was 3:4:5. Eventually, the score ratio of A to B has doubled while the score ratio of A to C has halved. If the final score of team C was 40, what was the final score D of team B?
(A) 1)8
(B) 2)10
(C) 3)20
(D) 4)40
(E) 5)80
Rationale: A to B = 3 : 4
So, on doubling we get 6 : 4
A to C = 3 : 5
So, on halving we get 1.5 : 5 or 3 : 10 or 6 : 20
So final ratio = 6 : 4 : 20.
If 20x = 40
4x = 8
Hence, answer is A
Answer: (A) 1)8

Question: x=2+2^(2/3)+2^(1/3), then what is the value of x^3-6x^2+6x? here X^Y indicates X to the power Y.
(A) 2
(B) 3
(C) 4
(D) 5
(E) 6
Rationale: Given that x = 2 + 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/3)
so x - 2 = 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/3)
or (x-2)^3 = [2^(2/3)+2^(1/3)]^3
or x^3 - 8 - 6x(x-2) = 2^2 + 2^1 + 3*[2^{(2/3)+(1/3)}[2^(2/3)+2^(1/3)
or x^3 - 8 - 6x^2 + 12x = 4 + 2 + 6(x-2)
or x^3 - 8 -6x^2 + 12x = 6 + 6x - 12
or x^3 - 6x^2 +6x = 2
ANSWER:A

(A) 0.1
(B) 0.001
(C) 0.0002
(D) 1.0e-05
(E) 0.0001
Rationale: Prob that traveler 1 will choose 1st place(any particular place) out 10 places = 1/10
Prob that traveler 2 will choose same place out 10 places = 1/10
......
Total = 1/10 * ... 1/10 (6 times)
= 1/10^6
But this can happen for all of the 10 places.
So Prob = 10/(10^6) = 1/10^(6-1)
=0.00001
Answer - D
Answer: (D) 1.0e-05

Question: Speed of a boat in standing water is 16 kmph and the speed of the stream is 2 kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 7380 km and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken by him is:
(A) 914.2 hours
(B) 937.1 hours
(C) 915 hours
(D) 905 hours
(E) 915 hours
Rationale: Explanation:
Speed downstream = (16 + 2) = 18 kmph
Speed upstream = (16 - 2) = 14 kmph
Total time taken = 7380/18 + 7380/14 = 410 + 527.1 = 937.1 hours
Answer: Option B

Question: Of the employees in a company, 30 % are female who have a master degree. If 50 % of the female employees do not have a master degree, what percent of the employees in the company are female?
(A) 50%
(B) 70%
(C) 60%
(D) 66%
(E) 65%
Rationale: Let E be total no. of employees and F be total no of female employees.
Question asked what is F/E X 100%?
No. of female employees with Masters = 0.3 x E (From the question)
No. of female employees without masters = 0.5 x F (From the question)
Therefore No. of female employees with masters = F - 0.5 F = 0.5 F
The 2 expressions equal each other therefore 0.5F = 0.3E; F/E = 0.3/0.5 = 60%
Ans: C
Answer: (C) 60%
Question: At a party, every two people shook hands once. How many people
attended the party if there were 66 handshakes?
(A) 12
(B) 22
(C) 33
(D) 65
(E) 67
Rationale: If there are n people at the party, then each of the n people will shake hands
with n -1 other people. Since each handshake accounts for a handshake that each of two
people have made (i.e., since there are two people involved with each handshake), the total
number of handshakes the n people will make is n(n-1)=2. (Alternatively, the number
of handshakes is the number of ways of choosing 2 people from among n people, which is
-n
2 =n(n-1)=2.) Hence, we have n(n-1)=2 = 66 = 12 11=2, so n = 12.
correct answer A
Answer: (A) 12
Question: What is 982*982?

(B)  964,219
(C)  964,324
(D)  975,019
(E)  975,369
Rationale: if you take a base of 1000 then 982 is 18 less than 1000
to get the product of 982 x 982 write like this
982- 18( as 18 less than base1000)
982- 18
now 18 x 18 = 324
and 982-18 = 964
so 982 x 982 = 964324 ... (bingo the answer is C . you can even have a shortcut ...... 18 x 18 = 324 ... only answer choice has last three digits as 324.. so no need to calculate 982-18 . after you get 18 x 18 you can straight way pick answer choice C.

Question: Positive integer n leaves a remainder of 4 after division by 6 and a remainder of 3 after division by 5. If n is greater than 30, what is the remainder that n leaves after division by 35?
(A) 3
(B) 12
(C) 18
(D) 22
(E) 28
Rationale: The theory says:
if a # x is devided by y and leave the positive # r as the remainder then it can also leave negative # (r-y) as the remainder.
e.g:
9 when devided by 5 leves the remainder 4 : 9=5*1+4
it can also leave the remainder 4-5 = -1 : 9=5*2 -1
back to the original qtn:
n leaves a remainder of 4 after division by 6 and a remainder of 3 after division by 5
==> n leaves a remainder of -2 (i.e. 4-6) after division by 6 and a remainder of -2 (i.e. 3-5) after division by 5
==> n when devided by 5 and 6 leaves the same remainder -2.
what is n?
LCM (5,6)-2 = 30-2 = 28
CHECK: 28 when devided by 6 leaves the remainder 4 and when devided by 5 leaves the remainder 3
However, the qtn says n > 30
so what is the nex #, > 28, that can give the said remainders when devided by 6 and 5
nothing but 28 + (some multiple of 6 and 5) as thissome multiple of 6 and 5will not give any remainder when devided by 5 or 6 but 28 will give the required remainders.
hence n could be anything that is in the form 28 + (some multiple of 6 and 5)
observe thatsome multiple of 6 and 5is always a multiple of 30 as LCM (5,6) = 30.
hence when n (i.e. 28 + some multiple of 6 and 5) is devided by 30 gives the remainder 18.

Question: John paid a sum of money for purchasing 20 pens, which he recovered in full when he sold 10 of them. What was his percentage of profit or loss per pen?
(A) 100%
(B) 150%
(C) 90%
(D) 80%
(E) 95%
Rationale: A
100%
If the sum he paid whilst purchasing 20 pens = A,
Then the Cost Price of each pen = A/20.
Since the amount he got whilst selling 10 pens is also = A
Then the Selling Price of each pen = A/10.
Since Selling Price > Cost Price, he made a profit.
Profit per pen = Selling Price - Cost Price = A/10 -A/20= A/20.
Profit percentage per pen = Profit per pen / Cost per pen x 100 = (A/20) / (A/20) x 100 = 100%
Answer: (A) 100%

Question: Which of the following inequalities is always true for any real number 'x' and 'y'?
(A) |x-y| < |x| +|y|
(B) |x + y| > |y| + |x|
(C) |x + y| <= |x| + |y|
(D) |x - y| <= |x| - |y|
(E) |x - y| > |x| - |y|
Rationale: The answer is (C). One of the fundamental properties of absolute value, which is subadditivity, essentially means that evaluating the function for the sum of two elements (numbers) always returns something less than or equal to the sum of the function's values at each element; therefore, |x + y| <= |x| + |y|
Answer: (C) |x + y| <= |x| + |y|

Question: Arun got 30% of the maximum marks in an examination and failed by 10 marks. However, Sujith who took the same examination got 40% of the total marks and got 15 marks more than the passing marks. What were the passing marks in the examination?
(A) 90
(B) 250
(C) 85
(D) 75
(E) 65
Rationale: Explanation:
Let x is the maximum marks of the examination
Marks that Arun got = 30 % of x = 30x/100
Given that Arun failed by 10 marks
⇒Minimum Pass Mark = 30x/100 + 10......(Equation 1)
Marks that Sujith got = 40 % of x = 40x/100
Given that Sujith got 15 marks more than the passing marks
⇒40x100=Minimum Pass Mark +15
⇒Minimum Pass Mark =40 x100 −15......(Equation 2)
From equations 1 and 2, we have
30 x 100 + 10 = 40x/100 − 15
⇒10x/100 = 10 + 15 = 25
⇒x/10 = 25
⇒ x = 10 × 25 = 250
⇒Maximum marks of the examination = x = 250
Substituting the value of x in Equation 1, we have
Minimum Pass Mark = 30x/100 + 10 = 30 × 250/100 + 10 = 75 + 10 = 85
Answer: Option C

Rationale: This is an interesting question because we are immediately given the option to insert any prime number we wish for p. Since this is a problem-solving question, and there can only be one correct answer, we can select any value for p, as long as it is a prime number greater than 2. We always want to work with small numbers, so we should select 3 for p. Thus, we have:
n = 4 x 3
n = 12
Next we have to determine all the factors, or divisors, of P. Remember the term factor is synonymous with the term divisor.
1, 12, 6, 2, 4, 3
From this we see that we have 4 even divisors: 12, 6, 2, and 4.
If you are concerned that trying just one value of p might not substantiate the answer, try another value for p. Let’s say p = 5, so
n = 4 x 5
n = 20
The divisors of 20 are: 1, 20, 2, 10, 4, 5. Of these, 4 are even: 20, 2, 10 and 4. As we can see, again we have 4 even divisors.
No matter what the value of p, as long as it is a prime number greater than 2, n will always have 4 even divisors.
The answer is B.
Answer: (B)  Three

Question: In a group of ducks and cows, the total number of legs are 28 more than twice the number of heads. Find the total number of cows.
(A) 12
(B) 14
(C) 16
(D) 18
(E) 20
Rationale: Let the number of ducks be d
and number of cows be c
Then, total number of legs = 2d + 4c = 2(d + 2c)
total number of heads = c + d
Given that total number of legs are 28 more than twice the number of heads
=> 2(d + 2c) = 28 + 2(c + d)
=> d + 2c = 14 + c + d
=> 2c = 14 + c
=> c = 14
i.e., total number of cows = 14
Answer is B.
Answer: (B) 14
Question: A box contains 2 white balls and 4 red ball. in how many ways can 3 balls be drawn from the box , if at least one black ball is to be included i the draw ?
(A) 32
(B) 48
(C) 64
(D) 96
(E) None
Rationale: Solution
We have many (1 black and 2 non-black) or (2 black and 1 non-black) or (3 black).
So, Required number of ways = (3 C 1 × 6 C 2) + (3 C 2 × 6 C 1) + (3 C 3)
= ( 3x 6x 5/2x1) + ( 3x 2/2x1x 6) + 1 = (45 + 18 + 1) = 64.

Question: An egg seller sells his eggs only in the packs of 3 eggs, 6 eggs, 9 eggs, 12 eggs etc., but the rate is not necessarily uniform. One day Raju (which is not the same egg seller) purchased at the rate of 3 eggs for a rupee and the next hour he purchased equal number of eggs at the rate of 6 eggs for a rupee. Next day he sold all the eggs at the rate of 9 eggs for Rs. 2. What is his percentage profit or loss?
(A) 10% loss
(B) 11.11% loss
(C) 3% loss
(D) 2.5 % profit
(E) None of These
Rationale: Solution: CP of one egg in first case = 1/3 = 33.33 paise
CP of one egg in second case = 1/6 = 16.66 paise
Average CP = (33.33 +16.66)/2 = 25 paise
Selling price of 9 eggs = Rs. 2
SP of one egg = 200/9
Profit or loss = [(25 - (200/9))*100]/25
Profit or loss = -11.11. (loss)
Answer: Option B
Answer: (B) 11.11% loss
Question: Two trains of equal are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 sec. The length of each train is?
(A) 50
(B) 77
(C) 55
(D) 43
(E) 12
Rationale: Let the length of each train be x m.
Then, distance covered = 2x m.
Relative speed = 46 - 36 = 10 km/hr.
= 10 * 5/18 = 25/9 m/sec.
2x/36 = 25/9 => x = 50.
Answer: A
Answer: (A) 50
Question: A is twice efficient than B. A and B can both work together to complete a work in 7 days. Then find in how many days A alone can complete the work?
(A) 10.9
(B) 10.5
(C) 10.8
(D) 10.1
(E) 80.1
Rationale: Ans: Let us assume A can do 2 units of work each day, then B can do only 1 unit a day. If both can complete the work in 7 days, total work done by these two togeter = (2 + 1 ) x 7 = 21 units
If these 21 units to be done by A alone, then he will take 21 / 2 = 10.5 days.
\Answer:B
Answer: (B) 10.5

(A) 100
(B) 110
(C) 120
(D) 300
(E) 150
Rationale: 50 % of 600
= 50/100 × 600
= 300
Therefore, the number of vacant seats = 600 - 300 = 300.
Answer:D
Answer: (D) 300

Question: A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?
(A) 230 m
(B) 245 m
(C) 260 m
(D) 275 m
(E) 295 m
Rationale: Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr
= 200 x 5/18
= 500/9 m/sec
Then, (x+270)/9 = 500/9
--> x + 270 = 500
--> x = 230.
Answer : A.
Answer: (A) 230 m
Question: {130, 280, 250, n}
Which of the following could be the median of the 4 integers listed above?
I. 160
II. 210
III. 250
(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) I and II only
(D) II and III only
(E) I, II, and III
Rationale: If 160 is the median, (n+250) / 2 = 160. Then n = 70. But n < 130, so 160 can not be the median.
If 210 is the median, (n+250) / 2 = 210. Then n = 170. Thus 210 can be the median.
If 250 is the median, (n+250) / 2 = 250. Then n = 250. Thus 250 can be the median.
The answer is D.
Answer: (D) II and III only
