Rationale: Easy way to solve this question is start from the answer and then conform the information provided in the question.
we can start from option D i.e 20 ... as a quantity of juice P in X because it is the only one option that gets divided by 4 is 20 ... since in the X the juice P to E ratio is 4:1
this gives us that quantity of juice P in X = 20 therefore quantity of Juice E will be 5 ... hence ratio = 4:1
This will lead to quantity of juice P in X = 4 and quantity of Juice E = 20 ... hence ratio 1:5
if we calculate total Juice P = 24 and total of juice V = 25
it fits because totals are same as what mentioned in the question ...
thus ans is D

Question: Working alone at their respective constant rates, A can complete a task in ‘a’ days and B in ‘b’ days. They take turns in doing the task with each working 2 days at a time. If A starts they finish the task in exactly 12 days. If B starts, they take half a day more. How long does it take to complete the task if they both work together?
(A) 4
(B) 4.5
(C) 6
(D) 8
(E) 6.5
Rationale: Work done by AB in a day = xy respectively.
When A starts:
No. of days when A works = 6No. of days when B works = 6 → 6x + 6y = 1
When B starts:
No. of days when A works = 6.5No. of days when B works =5.5 → 6.5x +5.5y = 1
Solving the above two equations for xy
x = 1/12 y = 1/12
→ Total work done by AB in a day = 1/12 + 1/12 = 2/12 =1/6
→ No. of days to complete the work when both work together = 6

Question: Alex and Brenda both stand at point X. Alex begins to walk away from Brenda in a straight line at a rate of 8 miles per hour. One hour later, Brenda begins to ride a bicycle in a straight line in the opposite direction at a rate of R miles per hour. If R > 8, which of the following represents the amount of time, in terms of R, that Alex will have been walking when Brenda has covered twice as much distance as Alex?
(A) R-4
(B) R/(R+4)
(C) R/(R-16)
(D) 8/(R-8)
(E) 2R - 4
Rationale: Let T be the time thatAlexwill have been walking when Brenda has covered twice as much distance as Alex.
In T hours Alex will cover 4T miles;
Since Brenda begins her journey 1 hour later than Alex then total time for her will be T-1 hours, and the distance covered in that time will be R(T-1);
We want the distance covered by Brenda to be twice as much as that of Alex: 2*8T=R(T-1) --> 16T=RT-R --> T=R/(R-16).
Answer: C.
Answer: (C) R/(R-16)

Question: If a randomly selected non-negative single digit integer is added to {2, 3, 6, 8}. What is the probability that the median of the set will increase but the range still remains the same?
(A) 0.2
(B) 0.3
(C) 0.4
(D) 0.5
(E) 0.6
Rationale: We are selecting from non-negative single digit integers, so from {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. These 10 digits represent the total number of outcomes.
Hence, the total number of outcomes is 10.
We need to find the probability that the median of the set will increase but the range still remains the same.
The median of the set is (3 + 6)/2 = 4.5, thus the number selected must be 5 or greater.
For the range to remain the same, the number must be between 2 and 8 inclusive.
To satisfy both conditions, the number selected must be 5, 6, 7, or 8.
The probability is 4/10 = 0.4
The answer is C.
