Question: A, B and C invest in a partnership in the ratio: 7/2, 4/3, 6/5. After 4 months, A increases his share 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 10,800, then what is B's share in the profit?
(A) Rs. 2000
(B) Rs. 3000
(C) Rs. 4000
(D) Rs. 5000
(E) None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
Ratio of the initial investment = 7/2 : 4/3 : 6/5
= 105 : 40 : 36
From this ratio, we can assume that actual initial investments of A, B and C
are 105x, 40x and 36x respectively
A increases his share 50% after 4 months. Hence the ratio of their investments =
(105x * 4) + (105x * 150/100 * 8) : 40x * 12 : 36x : 12
= 105 + (105 * 3/2 * 2) : 40*3 : 36 * 3
= 105 * 4 : 40 *3 : 36 * 3
= 35 * 4 : 40 : 36
= 35 : 10 : 9
B's share = total profit * (10/54) = 10,800 * 10/54 = 2000. Answer : Option A
Answer: (A) Rs. 2000

35/(x + 1) + 35/(x - 1) = 12
x = 6
Answer:A
Answer: (A) 12
Question: A walks around a circular field at the rate of one round per hour while B runs around it at the rate of six rounds per hour. They start at same point at 9:30 am. They shall first cross each other at ?
(A) 7:15 am
(B) 7:30 am
(C) 9: 42 am
(D) 7:50 am
(E) 7:60 am
Rationale: Explanation:
Relative speed between two = 6-1 = 5 round per hour
They will cross when one round will complete with relative speed,
which is 1/5 hour = 12 mins.
So 9:30 + 12 mins = 9:42
Option C
Answer: (C) 9: 42 am

(D) (abc)/d
(E) (acd)/b
Rationale: As per the question, let a = 10, b = 5, c = 6, and d = 2. Plugging these into the answer choices, only C does not yield an integer.
Answer: (C) (a + c)/(b + d)
Question: In a card game, a combination of three queens beats all others. If Jose is the first to draw from a standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that he wins the game with the best possible combination?
(A) 1/5425
(B) 1/5550
(C) 1/5600
(D) 1/5555
(E) 1/5525
Rationale: he best possible combination is the case when he wins in his first two draws
There are 52 cards in a deck of cards with 4 queens in it.
Probability of first card to be queen = 4/52
Probability of Second card to be queen = 3/51
Probability of third card to be queen = 2/50
Probability of Best possible case = (4/52)*(3/51)*(2/50) = 1/5525
E
Answer: (E) 1/5525

(A) 21/25
(B) 17/25
(C) 4/25
(D) 8/25
(E) 10/25
Rationale: The number of exhaustive events = 50C1 = 50. We have 15 primes from 1 to 50.
Number of favourable cases are 34.
Therefore, Required probability = 34/50 = 17/25.
ANSWER:B
Answer: (B) 17/25
Question: If x^4 + y^4 = 20, then the greatest possible value of x is between:
(A) 0 to 2
(B) 2 to 4
(C) 4 to 6
(D) 6 to 8
(E) 8 to 10
Rationale: The answers to this question provide a great 'hint' as to how to go about solving it; since they're all essentially 'ranges', you can use them to figure out which solution contains the maximum value of X.
We're told that X^4 + Y^4 = 20. To maximize the value of X, we need to minimize the value of Y^4. The smallest that Y^4 could be is 0 (when Y = 0), so we'll have....
X^4 = 20
Looking at the answers, it makes sense to see what 2^4 equals....
2^4 = 16
Since that is BELOW 20, and 3^4 will clearly be MORE than 20, we have the correct answer.
Final Answer:
A
Answer: (A) 0 to 2

(A) 800
(B) 500
(C) 900
(D) 1200
(E) None
Rationale: Answer
1.5 x [(3.6 x 0.48 x 2.50) / (0.12 x 0.09 x 0.5)]
= 1.5 x [(36 x 48 x 250) / (12 x 9 x 5)]
= 1.5 x 4 x 4 x 50 = 1200
Correct Option: D
Answer: (D) 1200
Question: Sahil purchased a machine at Rs 11000, then got it repaired at Rs 5000, then gave its transportation charges Rs 1000. Then he sold it with 50% of profit. At what price he actually sold it.
(A) Rs. 22500
(B) Rs. 25500
(C) Rs. 26000
(D) Rs. 28000
(E) None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Question seems a bit tricky, but it is very simple.
Just calculate all Cost price, then get 150% of CP.
C.P. = 11000 + 5000 + 1000 = 17000
150% of 17000 = 150/100 * 17000 = 25500
Option B
Answer: (B) Rs. 25500
Question: A sum of Rs.1550 was lent partly at 8% p.a. simple interest. The total interest received after 3 years was Rs.300. The ratio of the money lent at 5% to that lent at 8% is :
(A) 16:18
(B) 16:10
(C) 16:15
(D) 16:11
(E) 16:12
Rationale: let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then,
Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300
Required ratio = x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15
Answer: C) 16:15
Answer: (C) 16:15

Question: A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?
(A) 253m
(B) 239m
(C) 236m
(D) 240m
(E) 230m
Rationale: Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr
200 x5/18= 500/9 m/sec
Let the length of the other train be x metres.
Then,x + 270/9	=500/9
x + 270 = 500
x = 230m
Answer E
Answer: (E) 230m
Question: A jar full of whisky contains 40% alcohol. A part of this whisky is replaced by another containg 19% alcohol and now the percentage of alcohol was found to be 25%. What quantity of whisky is replaced ?
(A) 1/3
(B) 2/3
(C) 2/5
(D) 3/5
(E) 4/5
Rationale: Let us assume the total original amount of whiskey = 10 ml ---> 4 ml alcohol and 6 ml non-alcohol.
Let x ml be the amount removed ---> total alcohol left = 4-0.4x
New quantity of whiskey added = x ml out of which 0.19 is the alcohol.
Thus, the final quantity of alcohol = 4-0.4x+0.19x ----> (4-0.21x)/ 10 = 0.26 ---> x = 20/3 ml.
Per the question, you need to find the x ml removed as a ratio of the initial volume ---> (20/3)/10 = 2/5.
Hence, C is the correct answer.
Answer: (C) 2/5
Question: Two trains start from two opposite directions towards each other. The stations from which they start are 50 miles apart. Both the trains start at the same time on a single track. A falcon which is sitting on one train. starts at the same time towards the other train. as soon as it reaches the second one, it flies back to the first train and so on and so forth. It continues to do so, flying backwards and forwards from one train to the other until the trains meet.
Both the trains travel at a speed of 25 miles per hour, and the bird flies at 100 miles per hour.
How many miles will the falcon have flown before the trains meet?
(A) 100 miles
(B) 140 miles
(C) 107 miles
(D) 230 miles
(E) 321 miles
Rationale: A
100 miles
The train travel at 25 miles per hour. Therefore, they will meet after travelling for one hour and the falcon also must have been flying for one hour. Since it travel at 100 miles per hour, the bird must have flown 100 miles.
Answer: (A) 100 miles
Question: The ratio of the area of a square mirror to its frame is 16 to 33. If the frame has a uniform width (a) around the mirror, which of the following could be the value, in inches, of a ?
I. 2
II. 3 1/2
III. 5
(A) I only
(B) III only
(C) I and II only
(D) I and III only
(E) I, II, and III
Rationale: Area of picture = 16x Area of frame = 33x
Area of picture / (Area of picture + area of frame) = 16x / 49x = 4x/7x.
This results in a value to be a multiple of 1.5 = multiple of 3/2 and since a is not constrained to be only integer all the three choices are possible
For i) the multiple of a is 4/3
For ii) the multiple of a is 7/3
For iii) the multiple of a is 10/3
The key is a can be any real positive number... very tricky problem.. took me > 15 minutes.
Answer is E
Answer: (E) I, II, and III

Question: There are x numbers in list L, where x is a positive integer, and there are y numbers in list M, where y is a positive integer. The average (arithmetic mean) of the numbers in list L is p, and the average of all the numbers in both lists L and M is q. Which of the following expressions is the average of the numbers in list M?
(A) (qy - px) / x
(B) (qy - px) / y
(C) (p + q)x / y
(D) [(q - p)x - py] / (x + y)
(E) [(q - p)x + qy] / y
Rationale: You can eliminate Answer A (it divides by 2)
Answer B: (QY-PX)/Y = (7.8 - 4)/3 = 3.8/3 This is clearly too small. Eliminate B.
Answer C: (P+Q)X/Y = (4.6)(2)/3 = 9.2/3 This is too big. Eliminate C.
Answer E is all that's left, but I'll check it just to be sure....
Answer E: [(Q-P)X +QY]/Y = [(0.6)(2) +7.8]/3 = 9/3 = 3. This is a MATCH.
Final Answer:E
Answer: (E) [(q - p)x + qy] / y
Question: In the xy-plane, the line y = k is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment PQ and the line x = g is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment RQ. If the coordinates of the point R are (-g, -k), then what are the coordinates of the point P?
(A) (-5g, -5k)
(B) (-3g, -3k)
(C) (2g, 2k)
(D) (3g, 3k)
(E) (5g, 5k)
Rationale: firstly the Question tells us that RQ and PQ are perpendicular at Q..
Now the coordinates of the point R are (-g, -k), so R is at a distance of 2g from line x and at dist of 2k from line Y..
as line X bisect RQ .... length of RQ =4g and coord (3g,-k)..
as line Y bisect PQ .... length of PQ =4k and coord (3g,3k).ans D
Answer: (D) (3g, 3k)
Question: If a rectangular billboard has an area of 104 square feet and a perimeter of 42 feet, what is the length of each of the longer sides?
(A) 4
(B) 7
(C) 8
(D) 13
(E) 26
Rationale: This question can be solved algebraically or by TESTing THE ANSWERS.
We're told that a rectangle has an area of 104 and a perimeter of 42. We're asked for the length of one of the LONGER sides of the rectangle.
Since the answers are all INTEGERS, and the area is 104, the shorter side will almost certainly be less than 10 (since 10x10 = 100, but we're NOT dealing with a square). Answer B (7) does NOT divide evenly into 104, so the correct answer is probably A or C.
Let's TEST Answer C: 8
IF...
The shorter side = 8...
The area = 104....104/8 = 13 = the longer side
Perimeter = 8+8+13+13 = 42
D
Answer: (D) 13

This year, it added the option of creating passwords having 5 characters in length. Which of the following gives the expression for the total number of passwords the new computer system can accept?
Assume there are 62 unique alphanumeric case sensitive characters.
(A) 63^4
(B) 62^5
(C) 62(62^4)
(D) 63(62^5)
(E) 63(62^6)
Rationale: Total number of passwords = number of 6 character password +number of 5 character password
= 62^6 + 62^5 (Since there is no limitation on repetition , each character can be chosen in 62 ways )
=62^5(1+ 62)
=62^5 * 63
Answer D
Answer: (D) 63(62^5)

Question: If 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days, the time taken by 15 men and 20 boys in doing the same type of work will be?
(A) 4 days
(B) 7 days
(C) 8 days
(D) 5 days
(E) 43 days
Rationale: Let 1 men's 1 day work = x and 1 boy's 1 day work = y.
Then, 6x + 8y = 1/10 and 26x + 48y = 1/2
Solving these two equations, we get:
x = 1/100 and y = 1/200
(15 men + 20 boys)'s 1 day work = (15/100 + 20/200) = 1/4
15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.
Answer: A
Answer: (A) 4 days

Question: a, b, c, d are positive integers such that exactly one of the following inequalities is false. Which inequality is false?
(A)  a<b
(B)  c<d
(C)  a+c<b+c
(D)  a+c<b+d
(E)  a<b+c+d
Rationale: Essentially, we need to find the statement thatcouldbe false if all the other statements are true.
The first thing that jumps out to me is statements A and C:
(A) a < b
(C) a+c < b+c
Regardless of the value of c, these statement are either both false or both true. Since only statement CAN be false, we can eliminate these two.
(E) a < b+c+d
Since c and d are both positive integers, and we have determined that statement A is true, statement E must be true as well. This leaves us with:
(B) c < d
(D) a+c < b+d
Since we know statement A (a < b) to be true, if statement B is true, statement D MUST be true. However, if statement D is true, as long as c-d < b-a, statement B does NOT have to be true.
Therefore, the answer isB: c < d. Good question, +1.
Answer: (B)  c<d

Question: The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If its lengthis decreased by 5cm & breadth is increased by 5cm, the area of the rectangle is increased by 75sq.cm. What is the length of the rectangle?
(A) 25 cm
(B) 30 cm
(C) 40 cm
(D) 45 cm
(E) 60 cm
Rationale: Let breadth =x cm
Then, length =2x cm
Area =x×2x=2x2 sq.cm.
New length =(2x−5) cm
New breadth =(x+5) cm
New area =(2x−5)(x+5) sq.cm.
Given that, new area = initial area +75 sq.cm.
⇒(2x−5)(x+5)=2x2+75⇒2x2+10x−5x−25=2x2+75⇒5x−25=75⇒5x=75+25=100⇒x=1005=20 cm
Length =2x=2×20=40 cm

Question: If |x^2 − 2| = x, which of the following could be the value of x?
(A) -2
(B) -1
(C) 0
(D) 1
(E) 4
Rationale: The LHS is not negative, so the RHS is also not negative. Thus x >= 0.
First, let's assume that x^2-2 is negative.
-(x^2 - 2) = x
x^2 + x - 2 = 0
(x+2)(x-1) = 0
x = 1 or x = -2 (However, x can not be negative.)
Then x = 1 is a possible value for x.
The answer is D.
Answer: (D) 1
Question: If 2^z is a factor of 24!, which of the following could be the value of z?

(C) I​ and II
(D) I, II, and III
(E) None
Rationale: 24! contains all numbers from 1 to 24. To find the factor with the highest power of 2, we count the number of multiples of 2, 4, 8 and 16.
Multiples of 2 = 12
Multiples of 4 = 6
Multiples of 8 = 3
Multiples of 16 = 1
Total count = 22
The answer is A.
Answer: (A) I ​only
