Question: At the wholesale store you can buy an 8-pack of hot dogs for $1.55, a 20-pack for $3.05, and a 450-pack for $22.95. What is the greatest number of hot dogs you can buy at this store with $200?
(A) 1,108
(B) 3,700
(C) 2,108
(D) 2,124
(E) 2,256
Rationale: We have $200 and we have to maximize the number of hot dogs that we can buy with this amount.
Let's try to find out what is the maximum number of hot dogs that we can buy for a lesser amount of money, which in this case is 450 for $22.95.
For the sake of calculation, let's take $23. 23x8 gives 184 ,i.e. a total of 450x8 = 3600 hot dogs . We are left with ~$16. Similarly, let's use $3 for calculation. We can buy 5 20-pack hot dogs (3x5), a total of 20x5 = 100 hot dogs. So we have 3700 hot dogs.
2108 looks far-fetched (since we are not likely to be left with > $1.55). Hence, (b) 3700 (ANSWER B)
Answer: (B) 3,700

Question: A tank can be filled by a tap in 20 minutes and by another tap in 60 minutes. Both the taps are kept open for 10 minutes and then the first tap is shut off. After this, the tank will be completely filled in what time ?
(A) 10 mins
(B) 15 mins
(C) 20 mins
(D) 25 mins
(E) 30 mins
Rationale: Explanation:
How we can solve this question ?
First we will calculate the work done for 10 mins, then we will get the remaining work, then we will find answer with one tap work, As
Part filled by Tap A in 1 min = 1/20
Part filled by Tap B in 1 min = 1/60
(A+B)'s 10 mins work =
10∗(1/20+1/60)
=10∗4/60=2/3
Remaining work = 1−2/3=1/3
METHOD 1
=>1/60:1/3=1:X
=>X=20
METHOD 2
1/60 part filled by B in=1min1/3 part will be filled in=1/3/1/60=60/3=20
Option C
Answer: (C) 20 mins

Question: The expenses of organizing a garden party increased from Rs.9000 to Rs.12000 when the number of registered candidates increased from 25 to 40. Find the total cost of organizing the party if there are 50 final registrations.
(A) Rs.11000
(B) Rs.12000
(C) Rs.13000
(D) Rs.14000
(E) None
Rationale: We know that the expenses of party increases not directly proportional but directly relational.
Assume the fixed component of expense is K rupees and Variable component is M rupees.
Then the total cost is given by
K + 25 x M = 9000 ............(1)
When there are 40 registrations the total cost is
K + 40 x M = 12000 .........(2)
By substracting (1) from (2)
⇒15M=3000⇒M=200⇒15M=3000⇒M=200
So the variable cost per head is Rs.200
To find the fixed cost we can substitute Rs.200 in either (1) or (2), then K = 4000
If there are 50 registrations then the total cost = 4000 + 50 x 200 = Rs.14000

Question: The London Racetrack needs to submit its 3 fastest horses to the Kentucky Derby out of 25 horses. However, all of their information was lost and they don't know any of the horse's times. Similarly, they all look identical so they can't remember who's fastest.
They can only race 5 horses at once, so what is the fewest number of races they can conduct to find the 3 fastest horses?
(A) 6
(B) 7
(C) 5
(D) 4
(E) 8
Rationale: 7 races are required.
First you divide the 25 horses into 5 groups of 5. You conduct the 5 races and take all of the fastest horses in those races and have a race with them, giving you the fastest horse. Then you take the remaining 24 horses (excluding the fastest) and remove the 4th and 5th horses in the first set of 5 races (since they definitely have 3 horses faster than them), leaving you with 14 horses. Next you can remove all of the horses that were beat in the preliminary race by the horses that got 4th and 5th in the championship race, leaving you with 8 horses. Finally, you can remove the horses that remain that lost to the 3rd place horse in the final race in the preliminary race and the horse that got 3rd in the preliminary to the horse that got 2nd in the championship race, leaving you with 5 horses.
You can then run a final race where the 1st and 2nd place horses are the 2nd and 3rd fastest. Then you know the 3 fastest horses.

Question: A man borrows Rs. 20,000 at 10% compound interest. At the end of every year he pays Rs. 2000 as part repayment. How much does he still owe after three such installments?
(A) Rs.24000
(B) Rs.20000
(C) Rs.15000
(D) Rs.10000
(E) Rs.13000
Rationale: Explanation:
Amount after 3 years on Rs.20000 at 10% compound interest
= 20000(1 + 10/100)3 = 20000(11/10)3 = 26620--- (1)
He paid Rs.2000 after 1st year.
Hence Rs.2000 and its compound interest for 2 years (i.e., amount on 2000 after 2 year) need to be reduced from (1)
Similarly, he paid Rs.2000 after 2nd year.
Hence Rs.2000 and and its compound interest for 1 year
(i.e., amount on 2000 after 1 year) need to be reduced from (1)
Similarly, he paid Rs.2000 after 3rd year.
Hence this Rs.2000 also need to be reduced from (1)
Hence, remaining amount
= 26620 − 2000 (1+10/100)2 − 2000(1+10/100)1 − 2000
= 26620 − 2000(11/10)2 − 2000(11/10) − 2000
= 26620 −2420 − 2200 − 2000 = 20000
i.e, he still owes Rs.20000 even after three installments
Answer: Option B

Alternatively, if 8 liters are transferred from B to A, B would contain one-half of the amount of water in A. Bucket A contains how many liters of water?
(A) 88/5
(B) 13
(C) 17
(D) 21
(E) 23
Rationale: Let Bucket A be A and Bucket B be B
Scenario 1
A-8 = 1/3 (B+8) ----> 3A-24 =B+8
Scenario 2
B-8 = 1/2 (A+8) -----> 2B-16 = A+8
From Scenario 1, B = 3A-32
Substitute B with this information in Stmt 2
2 (3A-32) -16 = A+8 ------> 6A -64-16 = A+8 ------> 6A- A = 80+8 ---> 5A= 88
A= 88/5, Answer choice A
Answer: (A) 88/5

Question: A, B, C and D enter into partnership. A subscribes 1/3 of the capital B 1/4, C 1/5 and D the rest. How much share did A get in a profit of Rs.2490 ?
(A) Rs. 832
(B) Rs. 830
(C) Rs. 822
(D) Rs. 812
(E) Rs. 810
Rationale: Let the total amount in the partnership be 'x'.
Then A's share = x/3
B's share = x/4
C's share = x/5
D's share = x - (x/3 + x/4 +x/5) = 13x/60
A : B : C : D = x/3 : x/4 : x/5 : 13x/60 = 20 : 15 : 12 : 13
A's share in the profit of Rs. 2490 = 20 (2490/60) = Rs. 830.
Answer: B
Answer: (B) Rs. 830
Question: If y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y then find x : y : z ?
(A) 1 : 2 : 3
(B) 3 : 2 : 1
(C) 4 : 2 : 3
(D) 2 : 4 : 7
(E) none of these
Rationale: Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z
yz = xy + x2- yz - xz .. (1)
Also (x/y) = (y/(x - z)) => x2 - xz = y2 .. (2)
Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz + y2
2yz = xy + y2
2z = x + y
Only option (c) satisfies the equation

Question: In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit?
(A) 30%
(B) 70%
(C) 100%
(D) 250%
(E) none
Rationale: Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420.
New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420.
Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295
Required percentage = (295/420 * 100)% = 1475/21 % = 70% (approximately)
Answer = B
