Question: Three runners Q, B and C run a race, with runner A finishing 12m ahead of runner B and 18m ahead of runner C, while runner B finishes 8m ahead of runner C. Each runner travels entire distance at a constant speed. What was the length of the race?
(A) 36m
(B) 48m
(C) 60m
(D) 72m
(E) 84m
Rationale: Let distance of race be x mtrs. Then when Q finishes x m , B has run (x- 12)mtrs and C has run x-18 mtrs. so at this point B is 6 m ahead of C. Now to finish race b needs to run another 12 m, so he runs another 12 m. when B finishes race he is 8 m ahead of C. so last 12 m B has run, C has run 10 m.
as speeds are constant, we have equation,
x-12/ x-18 = 12/10 > x = 48.
Answer B
Answer: (B) 48m
Question: In racing over a given distance d at uniform speed, A can beat B by 10 meters, B can beat C by 4 meters, and A can beat C by 12 meters. What is the distance d in meters?

Question: A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 10 years . Had it been put at 5% higher rate , it would have fetched Rs.200 more. What was the Sum?
(A) s.550
(B) s.1000
(C) s.600
(D) s.200
(E) s.400
Rationale: At 5% more rate, the increase in S.I for 10 years = Rs.200 (given)
So, at 5% more rate, the increase in SI for 1 year = 200/10 = Rs.20/-
i.e. Rs.20 is 5% of the invested sum
So, 1% of the invested sum = 20/5
Therefore, the invested sum = 20 × 100/5 = Rs.400 Answer: E

Question: Albert and Bob are painting rooms at constant, but different rates. Albert takes 1 hour longer than Bob to paint n rooms. Working side by side, they can paint a total of 3n/7 rooms in 4/3 hours. How many hours would it take Albert to paint 3n rooms by himself?
(A) 7
(B) 21
(C) 11
(D) D.13
(E) 15
Rationale: rate of bob to paint n rooms is n/T(bob)
rate of Albert to paint n rooms is n/T(albert).
albert paints the room 1 hour slower than bob, so T (albert) = T(bob) -1
Together they paint the 3n/5 rooms in 4/3 hours. Rate is equal to work over time
Therefore
n/x + n/x-1 = (3n/5)/(4/3) =
n/x + n/x-1 = 9n/20. Fastest way for me is to think how would make the denominator 20. 4*5 = 20 and it fits x and x-1 or you can solve the quadratic
4n/20 + 5n/20 = 9n/20. Therefore you know it takes Albert 5 hours to paint n room, since Albert's rate is n/5.
7*3 = 3n
21 = 3n.

Question: In a certain supermarket, a triangular display of cans is arranged in 10 rows, numbered 1 through 10 from top to bottom. Each successively numbered row contains 3 more cans than the row immediately above it. If there are fewer than 150 cans in the entire display, how many cans are in the seventh row?
(A) 13
(B) 15
(C) 17
(D) 19
(E) 21
Rationale: Let x be the number of cans in row 1.
The total number of cans is x + (x+3) + ... + (x+27) =
10x + 3(1+2+...+9) =
10x + 3(9)(10)/2 =
10x + 135
Since the total is less than 150, x must equal 1.
The number of cans in the 7th row is 1 + 3(6) = 19
The answer is D.

Question: The no. of gift pack bought by Dexter is 1 more than the price, in rupees, of each gift pack. The amount of Rs.380 which Dexter had, fell short of the required amount. What is theamount by which he might have fallen short.
(A) 38
(B) 40
(C) 45
(D) 48
(E) 49
Rationale: Let the price of gift pack be 'aa'
Then number of packs bought =a+1=a+1
Hence total cost is a(a+1)a(a+1)
It is given that 380<a(a+1)380<a(a+1)
If a=19a=19, the total cost =19×20=380=19×20=380
Dexter would not have fallen short, If:
a=20a=20, a(a+1)=420a(a+1)=420
So he would have fallen short by Rs 40.
This is the minimum amount by which he may have fallen short.

Question: Two pipes can fill a cistern in 14 and 16 hours respectively. The pipes are opened simultaneously and it is found that due to leakage in the bottom, 32 minutes extra are taken for the cistern to be filled up. If the cistern is full, in what time would the leak empty it ?
(A) 110 hours
(B) 112 hours
(C) 115 hours
(D) 100 hours
(E) None of these
Rationale: Cistern filled by both pipes in one hour
= 1⁄14 + 1⁄16 = 15⁄112th
∴ Both pipes filled the cistern in 112⁄15 hrs.
Now, due to leakage both pipes filled the cistern in
112⁄15 + 32⁄60 = 8 hrs.
∴ due to leakage, filled part in one hour 1⁄8
∴ part of cistern emptied, due to leakage in one hour
= 15⁄112 - 1⁄8 = 1⁄112th
∴ in 112 hr, the leakage would empty the cistern.
Answer B
Answer: (B) 112 hours
Question: In how many ways can Ram choose a vowel and a constant from the letters of the word ALLAHABAD?
(A) 4
(B) 6
(C) 9
(D) 5
(E) 3
Rationale: Solution
In the letters of the word ALLAHABAD there is only 1 vowel available for selection (A). Note that the fact that A is available 4 times has no impact on this fact.
Also, there are 4 consonants available – viz. L, H, Band D. Thus, the number of ways of selecting a vowel and a consonant would be 1 × 4C1 = 4.
Answer A
Answer: (A) 4

Question: A sporting good store sells one type of baseball bat and one type of baseball. The cost for 2 bats and 4 balls is $200. The cost for 1 bat and 6 balls is $220, as well. If someone were to buy an equal number of bats and balls, at most how many bats can he purchase if he has a budget of $210 for the purchase?
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
(E) 5
Rationale: IMO it should be C that is 3
reason:
formed an equation... bat = b ball = c
2b+4c=200
1b+6c=220
solving both we get b that is bat = 40 and c that is ball = 30
new equation 210 to be divided in equal
3b+3c=210
3*40 + 3*30 = 210
120 + 90 = 210
Answer: (C) 3
Question: If the perimeter of square region W and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2:3 then the ratio of the area of R to the area of W
(A) 25:16
(B) 24:25
(C) 5:6
(D) 4:5
(E) 4:9
Rationale: We know Perimeter of a square (Pw) = 4*side
Perimeter of a rectangle (Pr) = 2(length+breath)
Let us assume 40 to be the perimeter of the square (since we know each side of a square is equal and the perimeter is divisible by 4, also take in to account the length and breadth of the rectangle is in the ration 2k:3k = 5k; we can assume such a number)
Therefore,
Pw = Pr = 40
Area of the square = 100 sq. units
We know 2(length+breadth) = 40
i.e. length + breadth = 20 (or 5k = 20 given that l:b (or b:l) = 2:3)
Therefore length = 8, breath = 12
Area of the rectangle = 8*12 = 96 sq. units
Question asked = Area of the rectangle : Area of the square = 96:100 ==> 24:25=B
Answer: (B) 24:25
Question: If x and y are numbers such that (x+4)(y-4)=0, what is the smallest possible value of x^2 + y^2
(A) 0
(B) 9
(C) 12
(D) 16
(E) 18
Rationale: From (x+4)(y-4)=0 it follows that either x=-4 or y=4. Thus either x^2=16 or y^2=16.
Now, if x^2=16, then the least value of y^2 is 0, so the least value of x^2 + y^2 = 16 + 0 = 16.
Similarly if y^2=16, then the least value of x^2 is 0, so the least value of x^2 + y^2 = 0 + 16 = 16.
Answer: D.
Answer: (D) 16

Answer: (A) 30
Question: In a 6 digit ID number, what is the probability of exactly four digits are the digit 0?
(A) 9/2000
(B) 81/20000
(C) 12/36001
(D) 81/16000
(E) 84/3600
Rationale: Total number of 6 digit numbers = 9*10*10*10*10*10 = 9,00,000
No. of ways of arranging 4 digits as 0 = 5C4=5.
Arrangements are as follows. Here X can be any digit other than 0
1) XX000X ==> no. of ways - 729
2) XXX000 ==> no. of ways - 729
3) X0XX00 ==> no. of ways - 729
4) XX00X0 ==> no. of ways - 729
5) X00XX0 ==> no. of ways - 729
Probability = (729*5)/90000
