Question: Rs.460 was divided among 41 boys and girls such that each boy Rs.12 and each girl got Rs.8. What is
the number of boys?
(A) 33
(B) 30
(C) 36
(D) 28
(E) 26
Rationale: Explanation :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Assume that the number of boys = b and number of girls is g
number of boys + number of girls = 41
=> b + g = 41 ------------ (Equation 1)
Given that each boy got Rs.12 and each girl got Rs.8 and Total amount = Rs.460
=> 12b + 8g = 460 -------- (Equation 2)
Now we need solve Equation 1 and Equation 2 to get b and g
(Equation1)×8=>8b+8g=8×41=328−−−−−−−−(Equation3)
(Equation 2) - (Equation 3) = 4b = 460 - 328 = 132
=>b=1324=33
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Given that Amount received by a boy = Rs.12 and
Amount received by a girl =Rs.8
Total amount = 460
Given that number of boys + Number of girls = 41
Hence mean amount = 460/41
By the rule of alligation, we have
Amount received by a boy Amount received by a girl
12 8
Mean amount
460/41
460/41 - 8 =132/41 12 - 460/41 = 32/41
Number of boys : Number of girls = 132/41 : 32/41 = 132 : 32 = 66 : 16 = 33 : 8
Given that number of boys + Number of girls = 41
Hence number of boys = 41×3341=33

Question: The number of stamps that P and Q had were in the ratio of 5:3 respectively. After P gave Q 10 stamps, the ratio of the number of P's stamps to the number of Q's stamps was 9:7. As a result of the gift, P had how many more stamps than Q?
(A) 20
(B) 30
(C) 40
(D) 60
(E) 90
Rationale: P started with 5k stamps and Q started with 3k stamps.
(5k-10)/(3k+10) = 9/7
35k - 27k = 160
k = 20
P has 5(20) - 10 = 90 stamps and Q has 3(20)+10 = 70 stamps.
The answer is A.

Question: the first flight out of Phoenix airport had a late departure. If the next three flights departed on-time, how many subsequent flights need to depart from Phoenix on-time, for the airport's on-time departure rate to be higher than 90%?
(A) 6
(B) 7
(C) 9
(D) 10
(E) 11
Rationale: We need on-time departure rate to be higher than 9/10, so it should be at least 10/11 which means that 10 out of 11 flights must depart on time. Since for now 3 out of 4 flights departed on time then 10−3=7 subsequent flights need to depart on-time.

Question: If a = 105 and a^3= 21 * 35 * 45 * b, what is the value of b?
(A) 35
(B) 42
(C) 45
(D) 49
(E) 54
Rationale: First step will be to break down all the numbers into their prime factors.
105 = 3 * 5 * 7
21 = 7 * 3
35 = 7 * 5
45 = 3 * 3 * 5
so, (105)^3 = 3 * 7 * 7 * 5 * 3 *3 *5 *b
Therefore (3 * 5 * 7) ^ 3 = 3^3 * 5^2 * 7^2 *b
Therefore, b = 3^3 * 5^3 * 7 ^3/3 ^3 * 5 ^2 * 7^2
b = 5*7 = 35
Correct answer A.
Answer: (A) 35
Question: Two pipes A and B can separately fill a cistern in 60 minutes and 75 minutes respectively. There is a third pipe in the bottom of the cistern to empty it.

Question: 3, k, 20, m, 4, n
In the list above, k, m, and n are three distinct positive integers and the average (arithmetic mean) of the six numbers in the list is 8. If the median of the list is 6.5, which of the following CANNOT be the value of k, m, or n ?
(A) 9
(B) 8
(C) 7
(D) 6
(E) 5
Rationale: Since median is 6.5, the first options I will try are 6 and 7 - two numbers will be eliminated if I can find a case where this works.
3, 4, 6, 7, 20 - the avg of these numbers is 8. If the last number is also 8, the mean will remain 8 as desired. So in fact, we eliminated 3 options here. k, m and n can be 6, 7 and 8.
Let's try 5 now, not 9 because 9 is more complicated. 9 gives us two number less than 6.5 and 2 more than 6.5. So there will be many different options. If instead 5 is in the list, we now have 3 numbers less than 6.5, so the other 3 numbers must be greater than 6.5 and the average of one of those numbers with 5 must be 6.5. So the fourth number should be 8 on the list to give the median 6.5. These 5 numbers (3, 4, 5, 8, 20) give an average of 8. The sixth number must be 8 to keep the average 8 but numbers must be distinct. So this is not possible. Hence none of k, m and n can be 5.

Question: Henry eats X scones in X percent of the time it takes Rachel to eat Y scones. If Rachel eats four scones in ten minutes, then the number of minutes it takes Henry to eat 12 scones must be equal to which of the following?
(A) Y/5
(B) 3Y/10
(C) 100Y/(15X)
(D) XY/250
(E) Y/(5X)
Rationale: Rachel eats 4 scones/10 minutes = 2/5 scones per minute
The time for Rachel to eat 1 scone is 5/2 minutes.
The time for Rachel to eat Y scones is 5Y/2 minutes.
The time for Henry to eat X scones is 5YX/200 minutes.
The time for Henry to eat 1 scone is 5Y/200 minutes.
The time for Henry to eat 12 scones is 60Y/200 = 3Y/10 minutes.
The answer is B.
Answer: (B) 3Y/10

Question: P and Q started a business with respective investments of Rs. 4 lakhs and Rs. 10 lakhs. As P runs the business, his salary is Rs. 5000 per month. If they earned a profit of Rs. 2 lakhs at the end of the year, then find the ratio of their earnings?
(A) 1 : 8
(B) 1 : 1
(C) 1 : 6
(D) 1 : 5
(E) 1 : 3
Rationale: Ratio of investments of P and Q is 2 : 5
Total salary claimed by P = 12 * 5000 = Rs. 60000
Total profit = Rs. 2 lakhs.
Profit is to be shared = Rs. 140000
Share of P = (2/7) * 140000 = Rs. 400000
Share of Q = Rs. 100000
Total earnings of P = (60000 + 40000) = Rs. 100000
Ratio of their earnings = 1 : 1.Answer: D

Question: If 102 books need to be placed in boxes and each box can contain at most 9 books. How many books will be in the last unfilled box?
(A) 12 books
(B) 10 books
(C) 0 books
(D) 3 books
(E) 9 books
Rationale: The number of books that can be placed in boxes of 9 books is the first number that is divisible by 9 that occurs before 102 .
In order to divide the sum in 9 parts, the amount must be divisible by 9
Divisibility rule of 9: The sum of the digits must be divisible by 9
Sum of digits of 102 =3 and 0 is divisible by 9.
Hence, we need to remove 3 to this number for it to be divisible by 9
Correct Option:D

Question: What is the total number of positive integers that are less than 400 and that have no positive factor in common with 400 other than 1?
(A) 100
(B) 120
(C) 150
(D) 160
(E) 180
Rationale: Since 400=2^4*5^2 then a number can not have 2 and/or 5 as a factor.
The odd numbers do not have 2 as a factor and there are 200 odd numbers from 1 to 400.
We then need to eliminate the 40 numbers that end with 5, that is 5, 15, 25,...,395.
There are a total of 200 - 40 = 160 such numbers between 1 and 400.
The answer is D.

Question: In a decade, a town’s population increases from 175000 to 262500. What is the average % increase of population each year?
(A) 9%
(B) 2%
(C) 5%
(D) 7%
(E) 1%
Rationale: Explanation:
Increase in population in 10 years= 262500-175000= 87500
Now, % increase will be increase in (population /original population) * 100
=> 87500/175000*100= 50% increase in population over 10 years
Therefore, Average % increase each year= 50/10= 5%

Question: Three-twentieths of the members of a social club are retirees who are also bridge players, five-twentieths of the members are retirees, and one-half of the members are bridge players. If 120 of the members are neither retirees nor bridge players, what is the total number of members in the social club?
(A) 240
(B) 300
(C) 200
(D) 400
(E) 480
Rationale: {Total} = {Retirees} + {Bridge players} - {Both} + {Neither}
x = 5/20*x + x/2 - 3/20*x + 120
