Question: At a local beach, the ratio of little dogs to average dogs to enormous dogs is 3:4:8. Late in the afternoon, the ratio of little dogs to average dogs doubles and the ratio of little dogs to enormous dogs increases. If the new percentage of little dogs and the new percentage of average dogs are both integers and there are fewer than 30 total dogs at the beach, which of the following represents a possible new percentage of enormous dogs?
(A) 25%
(B) 40%
(C) 55%
(D) 50%
(E) 70%
Rationale: Little Dogs(L), Average Dogs(A) and Enormous Dogs (E)
The initial ratio for L:A:E :: 3:4:8
Initial Total dogs = 15X ( x assumed; 2+5+8= 15), Since the total dogs are less than 30 therefore initial total value has to be 15
L = 3, A = 4 E = 8
L:A= 3:4
This ratio doubles
Hence New Dog count is
L= 6 , A = 4 E= X: Also 6+4+x<30
We need to Find X*100/(4+6+X)
Now it says that new percentage of little dogs and Average dogs is an integer
%L = 6*100/(10+x) %A = 4*100/(10+x); Only Value for X is 10 ; 9+x<30 and % integer
Therefore, Enormus Dogs % is = 10*100/(20) = 50%

Question: Two trains start simultaneously from opposite ends of a 175-km route and travel toward each other on parallel tracks. Train X, traveling at a constant rate, completes the 175-km trip in 4 hours. Train Y, travelling at a constant rate, completes the 175-km trip in 3 hours. How many kilometers had Train X traveled when it met Train Y?
(A) 66
(B) 69
(C) 72
(D) 75
(E) 78
Rationale: If the two trains cover a total distance D, then Train X travels (3/7)*D while Train Y travels (4/7)*D. If the trains travel 175 km to the meeting point, then Train X travels (3/7)*175 = 75 km. The answer is D.

Question: If three distinct positive divisors of 128 are randomly selected, what is the probability that their sum will be less than 64?
(A) 1/3
(B) 3/7
(C) 5/14
(D) 9/28
(E) 21/56
Rationale: The positive divisors are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128.
If any of the first six are chosen, the sum will be less than 64.
P(sum is less than 64) = 6/8 * 5/7 * 4/6 = 20/56 = 5/14
The answer is C.
Answer: (C) 5/14
Question: A train is running at a speed of 40 km/hr and it crosses a post in
18 seconds. What is the length of the train?
(A) 190 m
(B) 150 m
(C) 200 m
(D) 140 m
(E) 250 m
Rationale: speed = 40 km/hr = 40 * 5/18 = 100/9 m/s
time = 18 sec
distance covered = 100/9 * 18 = 200 m
so length of the train is = 200 m
ANSWER C

Question: Joseph’s grade was in the 80th percentile out of 100 grades in his class. In another class of 60 students there were 15 grades higher than Joseph’s. If nobody had Joseph’s grade, then Joseph’s was what percentile of the two classes combined?
(A) 80
(B) 78
(C) 75
(D) 60
(E) 90
Rationale: Being in 80% percentile out of 100 grades means Joseph was 81st (from the least grade) in the class (as long as nobody had Joseph’s grades), he outscored 80.
In another class his grade would rank him 46 (from the least grade out of 61, 60+Joseph), 45 had the grades lower than Amy.
So in combined classes he outscored 80+45=125. There are 160 students 125/160=0.78
Answer: B (78%)
Generally being in x% means that x% has the grades less than you.
Joseph in 80% --> he outscored 80% of of 100=80 (Joseph is 81st).
Of the 60 grades from another class, 15 were higher than Joseph 's, and the rest were lower --> rest is 45, hence Amy outscored 45.
So out of total 100+60=160, Joseph outscored 80+45=125. Hence he is in 125/160=78%.
Answer: B
Answer: (B) 78
Question: ramu sells gud for 27 per kg. but he has two plates for wighting one plate is 10% shorter then other.. he put 1 kg weight on shorter plat and apple on other plat.. at the end their is no profit no loss..what is cost price of apple

Question: The number obtained by interchanging the two digits of a two-digit number is less than the original number by 45. If the sum of the two digits of the number so obtained is 13, then what is the original number?
(A) 49
(B) 94
(C) 83
(D) 38
(E) 48.5
Rationale: Let the number be in the form of 10a + b
Number formed by interchanging a and b = 10b + a.
a + b = 13 --- (1)
10b + a = 10a + b - 45
45 = 9a - 9b => a - b = 5 --- (2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get
2a = 18 => a = 9 and b = 4
The number is: 94.
ANSWER:B
Answer: (B) 94

Question: The compound interest earned by Sunil on a certain amount at the end of two years at the rate of 8% p.a. was Rs.2828.80. Find the total amount that Sunil got back at the end of two years in the form of principal plus interest earned?
(A) Rs.19828.87
(B) Rs.19828.80
(C) Rs.19828.18
(D) Rs.19828.97
(E) Rs.19828.88
Rationale: Let the sum be Rs.P
P{ [ 1 + 8/100]2 - 1 } = 2828.80
P(8/100)(2 + 8/100)
= 2828.80 [a2 - b2 = (a - b) ( a + b)] P = 2828.80 / (0.08)(2.08)
= 1360/0.08
= 17000 Principal + Interest
= Rs.19828.80
Answer: B
Answer: (B) Rs.19828.80
