Question: A cubical tank is filled with water to a level of 3 feet. If the water in the tank occupies 48 cubic feet, to what fraction of its capacity is the tank filled with water?
(A) 1/2
(B) 2/3
(C) 3/4
(D) 4/5
(E) 5/6
Rationale: The volume of water in the tank is H*L*B = 48 cubic feet.
Since H = 3, then L*B = 16 and L = B = 4.
Since the tank is cubical, the capacity of the tank is 4*4*4 = 64.
The ratio of the water in the tank to the capacity is 48/64 = 3/4
The answer is C.
Answer: (C) 3/4

Question: A customer using a certain telephone calling plan pays a fee of $25 per month, and then receives a discount of 40% on the regular charge for all calls made to country R. If calls to country R are regularly charged at $1.60 per minute for the first 3 minutes, and $0.80 per minute for each minute thereafter, what is the maximum the customer could have saved over regular prices if he was charged for 1 hour of calls made to country R in a certain month?
(A) $8.75
(B) $12
(C) $13.40
(D) $17.40
(E) $24.40
Rationale: Discount = 40% of spending
We want to maximise discount so we will need to maximise spending. We do that by assuming that 60 calls were made of 1 min each because the first minute is the most expensive.
Max discount = (40/100)* 60 * 1.6 = (40/100)*96
This would be slightly less than 40. About 38 to 39.
Saving = (Slightly less than 40) - 25 = Slightly less than 15 charged in R country
Answer (C)
Answer: (C) $13.40
Question: 20 litres of mixture of acid and water contain 10% water. How much water should be added so that percentage of water becomes 20% in this mixture?
(A) 2 L
(B) 3 L
(C) 2.5 L
(D) 4 L
(E) 5 L
Rationale: total mixture =20ltr
water contain = 10% of 20ltr => 2ltr water
it means 18ltr is acid in that mixture
we have to make 20% water so..20% of 20 = 4ltr water must be there in the new mixture
we have already 2 ltr water so we have to add 2 ltr more
ANSWER:A
Answer: (A) 2 L

If we consider two women as one, then we have 5+1=6 persons. Arranging these six persons in circle will take = 5! = 120 ways
And two women can arrange themselves in 2! ways
Total ways in which two women sit together in circle = 5!*2! = 240 ways
Total ways in which two women doesn’t sit together in circle = 6! - 5!*2! = 720 - 240 = 480 ways

(B) 47
(C) 50.4
(D) 52.4
(E) 47.9
Rationale: age of the younger person = x
age of the elder person = x+18
6(x-12) = x+18-12
x= 15.6
age of elder person = 15.6+18=33.6
Answer is A
Answer: (A) 33.6

Question: X is a set containing 8 different positive odd numbers. Y is a set containing 7 different numbers, all of which are members of X. Which of the following statements CANNOT be true?
(A) The range of Y is even.
(B) The mean of X is even.
(C) The mean of Y is even.
(D) The range of X is equal to the range of Y.
(E) The median of Y is equal to the mean of Y.
Rationale: Option C.
Given: X is a set containing 8 different positive odd numbers
Easily inferred: Y is a set containing 7 different odd numbers
(A) The range of Y is even. - Always even, since it is a difference of two odd numbers
(B) The mean of X is even. - can be. suppose 8 numbers consist of 4 pairs of (16n-1,16n+1) for different values of n. Adding these will give a multiple of 16, which when divided by 8 (to arrive at mean), will give an even number
(C) The mean of Y is even. - Cannot be. Mean = (sum of 7 odd numbers)/7 = Odd number/odd number thus cannot be even.
(D) The range of X is equal to the range of Y.
(E) The median of Y is equal to the mean of Y
C
Answer: (C) The mean of Y is even.
Question: If x > 1, which of the following decreases as x decreases?
I. 1/(x + x^2)
II. 2x^2 − x
III. 1/(x + 1)
(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) III only
(D) I and II only
(E) II and III only
Rationale: let x= 4 and 3 b old and new values
ST1: x= 4 -> 4+16 =1/ 20
x=3-> 3+9 = 1/12 ...increased
ST2:x= 4-> 2*16-4 = 28
x=3->2*9-3 = 15
decreased
St3: x=4-> 1/4 = .25
x=3->1/3 = .33
Ans: B
Answer: (B) II only
Question: A watch passes through three hands and each person gains 25%. If the third person sells it for $187.50, what did the first person pay for it?
(A) $84
(B) $88
(C) $92
(D) $96
(E) $100
Rationale: 1.25*1.25*1.25 * original price = 187.5
(5/4)^3 * original price = 187.5
original price = 64*187.5 / 125 = $96
The answer is D.
Answer: (D) $96
Question: There are 18 stations between Hyderabad and Bangalore. How many second class tickets have to be printed, so that a passenger can travel from any station to any other station?
(A) 827
(B) 234
(C) 246
(D) 346
(E) 380
Rationale: The total number of stations = 20
From 20 stations we have to choose any two stations and the direction of travel (i.e., Hyderabad to Bangalore is different from Bangalore to Hyderabad) in ²⁰P₂ ways.
²⁰P₂ = 20 * 19 = 380.
Answer: E
Answer: (E) 380
Question: One ton has 2500 pounds, and one pound has 16 ounces. How many packets containing wheat weighing 16 pounds and 4 ounces each would totally fill a gunny bag of capacity 13 tons?
(A)  2000
(B)  1700
(C)  2350
(D)  2500
(E)  8000
Rationale: 16 pounds and 4 ounces= 16*16 + 4 = 260 ounces.
13 tons = 13*2500 pound = 13*2500*16 ounces.
Hence the answer is (13*2500*16)/260 =2000.
Answer: A.
Answer: (A)  2000
Question: 96 is divided into two parts in such a way that seventh part of first and ninth part of second are equal. Find the smallest part?
(A) 66
(B) 26
(C) 42
(D) 27
(E) 11
Rationale: x/7 = y/9 => x:y = 7:9
7/16 * 96 = 42
Answer: C
Answer: (C) 42
Question: x, y, a, and b are positive integers. When x is divided by y, the remainder is 6. When a is divided by b, the remainder is 10. Which of the following is NOT a possible value for y + b?
(A) 24
(B) 21
(C) 20
(D) 16
(E) 15
Rationale: Important note: remainder is ALWAYS less than divisor, thus y>6 and b>10 --> y+b>16.
Answer: D.
Answer: (D) 16
Question: A train running at a speed of 36 kmph crosses an electric pole in 12 seconds. In how much time will it cross a 360 m long platform?
(A) 19
(B) 27
(C) 29
(D) 48
(E) 28
Rationale: Let the length of the train be x m.
When a train crosses an electric pole, the distance covered is its own length.
So, x = 12 * 36 * 5 /18 m = 120 m.
Time taken to cross the platform = (120 +360)/ 36 * 5/18
= 48 min.
Answer:D
Answer: (D) 48
Question: At a certain laboratory, chemical substance are identified by an unordered combination of three different colors. If no chemical may be assigned the same three colors as any other, what is the maximum number of substances that can be identified using six colors?
(A) 20
(B) 35
(C) 105
(D) 135
(E) 210
Rationale: The prompt tells us that substance is identified by an UNORDERED combination of 3 colors and that no chemical may be assigned the same 3 colors as any other chemical.
As an example, a chemical with the colors A/B/C means that the following combinations CANNOT be used by any other chemical:
ABC
ACB
BAC
BCA
CAB
CBA
By extension, the first part of your calculation would be the number of possible substances that could be identified with 6 colors: 6c3 = 20 possible substances
A
Answer: (A) 20
