Question: A factory that employs 1000 assembly line workers pays each of these workers $5 per hour for the first 40 hours worked during a week and 1½ times that rate for hours worked in excess of 40. What was the total payroll for the assembly-line workers for a week in which 30 percent of them worked 25 hours, 50 percent worked 40 hours, and the rest worked 50 hours?
(A)  $180,000
(B)  $185,000
(C)  $180,000
(D)  $200,000
(E)  $192,500
Rationale: 30% of 1000 = 300 worked for 20 hours
Payment @ 5/hr
Total Payment = 300*25*5 = 37500
50 % of 1000 = 500 worked for 40 hours
Payment @ 5/hr
Total payment = 500*40*5 = 100000
Remaining 200 worked for 50 Hours
Payment for first 40 Hours @ 5 /hr
Payment = 200*40*5 = 40000
Payment for next 10 hr @ 7.5/hr
Payment = 200 * 10 * 7.5 = 15000
Total Payment = 37500+100000 + 40000 +15000 = 192500
Hence , answer is E
Answer: (E)  $192,500

Question: An urn contains 10 balls, numbered from 1 to 10. If 2 balls are selected at random with replacement from the urn, what is the probability P that the sum of the 2 numbers on the balls will be even?
(A) 25%
(B) 37.5%
(C) 50%
(D) 62.5%
(E) 75%
Rationale: Correct Answer: C
Since there are 5 even numbered balls and 5 odd numbered balls, the probability of selecting either an even or an odd is 5/10= 1/2. In order for the sum of the numbers on the two balls to be even, either both numbers must be even or both numbers must be odd; one even and one odd number would add to an odd number. The probability of selecting two even numbers is:
1/2 * 1/2= 1/4
The probability of selecting two odd numbers is also:
1/2 * 1/2= 1/4
Adding both probabilities gives P=1/4+1/4= 1/2 , or 50%, as the probability that the sum of the numbers will be even. Thus, the correct answer is (C).
Answer: (C) 50%

(A) 1/6
(B) 1/7
(C) 1/11
(D) 1/13
(E) 1/15
Rationale: The sample space has 216 outcomes.
Now X =
(1,1,4) (1,2,4) ... (1,6,4) (2,1,4) (2,2,4) ... (2,6,4)
(3,1,4) (3,2,4) ... (3,6,4) (4,1,4) (4,2,4) ...(4,6,4)
(5,1,4) (5,2,4) ... (5,6,4) (6,1,4) (6,2,4) ...(6,5,4) (6,6,4)
Y = {(6,5,1), (6,5,2), (6,5,3), (6,5,4), (6,5,5), (6,5,6)}
and X n Y = {(6,5,4)}.

Question: Buses leave town B at 3 pm and every 10 hours after that. Buses leave town C at 4pm and every 15 hours after that. If the buses follow this schedule beginning on a Monday, what is the earliest day D on which the buses leave at the same time.
(A) D=Tuesday
(B) D=Wednesday
(C) Thursday
(D) Sunday
(E) D=The busses will never leave at the same time
Rationale: The answer is E.
I think the best way to do it is to look at the times on a 24 hour clock. Town B busses start at 15:00, and Town C start at 16:00. If you think about it that way, then for Town B you'd add 10 hours each time, and the number will always end in a 5. Town C you'd add 15 hours each time, and the numbers would always end in a 1 or 6. So you can see they'd never coincide.
Alternatively, you could see that if they left at the same time, they'd coincide every 30 hours, but since C is one hour ahead of B, every 30 hours C will still be one hour ahead of B.E
Answer: (E) D=The busses will never leave at the same time

Question: A father is 30 years older than his son however he will be only thrice as old as the son after 5 years what is father's present age ?
(A) 40 yrs
(B) 30 yrs
(C) 50 yrs
(D) 60 yrs
(E) none of these
Rationale: Son's age: x
Father's age: x + 30
In 5 years:
Son's age: x + 5
Father's age: x + 35
In 5 years the father is thrice as old as his son so:
3(x + 5) = x + 35
x = 10
Current father's age is 40.
ANSWER:A
Answer: (A) 40 yrs
Question: If t and b are positive numbers, and t^3 + b^3 = 75, then the greatest possible value of t is between:
(A) 0 and 3
(B) 3 and 5
(C) 4 and 5
(D) 5 and 7
(E) 6 and 9
Rationale: Yes the question is ambiguous, and the answer is certainly not C between 4 and 5 .
The question stated: t and b are positive numbers but not positive integers.
so fractions are allowed to be a part of calculation.
So if the answer is C then the value 4.5 = 9/2 must comply the equation.
(9/2)^3 + b^3 = 75
so, b^3 = -129/8 , which is not possible according to the question.
Moreover the question didn't mentioninclusive or not, so we can't assume that b is 4 .
hi asif,
question is correct IMO.
Sincemaximumvalues areuniqueso you cant take any value and make it satisfy with equation
question is asking that maximum value ofa(means that unique value ofa) is between...
its not saying all value of that range will satisfy.
Answer: (C) 4 and 5
Question: Two trains are running in opposite directions with the same speed. If the length of each train is 120 m and they cross each other in 12 sec, then the speed of each train is?
(A) 78
(B) 89
(C) 36
(D) 34
(E) 23
Rationale: Let the speed of each train be x m/sec.
Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec.
So, 2x = (120 + 120)/12 => x = 10
Speed of each train = 10 m/sec.
= 10 * 18/5 =- 36 km/hr.
Answer: Option C
Answer: (C) 36

Question: What annual installment will discharge a debt of Rs. 1344 due in 3 years at 12% simple interest?
(A) 315
(B) 345
(C) 325
(D) 335
(E) 400
Rationale: Let each Installment be Rs. x
Then, ( x+ ((x*12*1)/100)) + (x+ ((x*12*2)/100) ) + x = 1344
=((28x/25) + (31x/25) + x) = 1344 ïƒ› (28x+31x+25x)=(1344*25)
x= (1344*25)/84 = Rs.400.
Therefore,	Each installment = Rs. 400.
Answer is E.
