Question: Country X imported approximately $1.20 billion of goods in 1996. If Country X imported $288 million of goods in the first two months of 1997 and continued to import goods at the same rate for the rest of the year, by how much would Country Xs 1997 imports exceed those of 1996?
(A)  $24 million
(B)  $120 million
(C)  $144 million
(D)  $240 million
(E)  $528 million
Rationale: Convert units to millions as answer is in millions
1996 Imports = $1.20 bill = $1200 mill
i.e. 1200/12 = $100 mill/month
1997 Imports = $288 mill/2 month
i.e. $144 mill/month
Difference/month = 144-100 = 44
Difference/year = $44 mill * 12 = $528 mill

(A) 351
(B) 360
(C) 363
(D) 369
(E) 378
Rationale: There are 41 digits in 10^4
When we subtract 46 from it, there will be 40 digits left.
10^4 can be written as 9999999....(40 times) + 1
So,
10^40 - 46 = 9999999....(40 times) + 1 - 46 = 9999999....(40 times) -45
Consider the last 2 digits,
99-45 = 54
The last 2 digits will be 54.
And our number would be 99999......99954 with 2 less 9s after subtraction.
Number of 9s left are 38 and the last two digits are 54
The sum of the digits will be
(38*9) + 5 + 4 =351

Question: How many days per calendar year is the month a factor of the day
(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 59
(D) 90
(E) 124
Rationale: Solution: 124
All 31 days in January, because 1 is a factor of all integers
14 of the 28 days in February (because every other day is divisible by 2)
10 of the 31 days in March (the multiples of 3 between 3 and 30)
7 days in April (the multiples of 4 between 4 and 28)
6 days in May (the multiples of 5 between 5 and 30)
5 days in June (the multiples of 6 between 6 and 30)
4 days in July (the multiples of 7 between 7 and 28)
3 days in August (the multiples of 8 between 8 and 24… so, so close if only the month were 32 days long!)
3 days in September (9th, 18th, 27th)
3 days in October (10th, 20th,30th)
2 days in November (11th, 22nd)
2 days in December (12th, 24th)
And there you have it! As you can see, as you move through the months, your job starts to get easier as you pick up on the patterns and are able to reuse some of your previous insights… This is a very valuable skill to remember on test day!

Question: A car mechanic purchased four old cars for Rs. 1 lakh. He spent total 2 lakh in the maintenance and repairing of these four cars. what is the average sale price of the rest three cars to get 60% total profit if he has already sold one of the four cars at Rs. 1.2 lakh?
(A) 1.8 lakh
(B) 1.2 lakh
(C) 1.9 lakh
(D) 8.1 lakh
(E) 6.1 lakh
Rationale: Explanation:
Total cost of 4 cars = 1+2 = 3 lakh
Total SP of 4 cars = 3 x 1.6 = 4.8 lakh
SP of 1 car = 1.2 lakh
SP of rest 3 cars = 4.8 - 1.2 = 3.6 lakh
Average SP of all the 3 cars = 1.2 lakh
Answer: B)
Answer: (B) 1.2 lakh
Question: A person travels equal distances with speeds of 3km/hr, 4km/hr, 5km/hr. and takes a total time of 47minutes. Find the total distance ?
(A) 3
(B) 2
(C) 5
(D) 4
(E) 6
Rationale: Let the each distance be x km
total distance = 3x
then total time,
(x/3)+(x/4)+(x/5) = 47/60
x=1
total distance = 3*1 = 3km
correct option is A
Answer: (A) 3
Question: The arithmetic mean of set M is zero. If N = {-2.22; -1.96; -1.68; 1.62; 1.94; 2.16} is the subset of M consisting of all those elements in M which are more than two but less than three standard deviations away from the arithmetic mean of M, what could be equal to the standard deviation of M?
(A) 0.54
(B) 0.77
(C) 0.82
(D) 0.97
(E) 1.62
Rationale: This is a fairly straightforward question that can be solved quickly by just applying the options
We are provided with Mean, m= 0
and N = {-2.22; -1.96; -1.68; 1.62; 1.94; 2.16} is the subset of M
N consists of all those elements in M that are more than 2 but less than 3 MDs away from the arithmetic mean of M
If an element is 1 MD away from the mean, we can write it as either m + MD or m - MD
Similarly, if an element is 2 MDs away from the mean, we can write it as either m + 2*MD or m - 2*MD
So, if these elements lie within 2 and 3 MDs of mean, m=0
we can find which one of these values of MD satisfies each value within N
Only MD = 0.77 does
Answer : B
Answer: (B) 0.77
Question: If the price of a computer were reduced by 14 percent, which of the following could not be the final price of the computer? (Assume initial price to be integer in cents)
(A) $844.10
(B) $894.40
(C) $1,053.50
(D) $1,135.20
(E) $1,259.90
Rationale: Let X be the initial price of computer without discount
then price (final) after discount should be=X(1-14/100)------->X(43/50)=A(say)
means X=A*(50/43).....
so initial price to be integer(As per stem) final price must be multiple of 43
if we check options all were divisible by 43 except option (A)..which is Ans.
Ans A
Answer: (A) $844.10
Question: Gary started driving at 9:00 am from city A towards city B at a rate of 50 mph. At a rate that is 15 mph higher than Gary's, Thomas started driving at the same time as John from city B towards city A.

Question: If the number of white balls in a box are 6 times the black balls, which of the below is the total number of balls, if there are 8 black balls in the box?
(A) A - 56
(B) B - 57
(C) C - 58
(D) D - 59
(E) E - 60
Rationale: Let the number of black balls = x and the number of white balls = 6x Then, total number of balls in the box = x + 6x = 7x i.e., the total number of balls must be a multiple of 7 From the given choices, only 56 is the multiple of 7. Hence, 56 are the number of balls in the box. Answer is A.
Answer: (A) A - 56
