Options:
(A) 22

question: A, B, C together started a business. A invested Rs.6000 for 5 months B invested Rs.3600 for 6 months and C Rs.7500 for 3 months. If they get a total profit of Rs.7410. Find the share of A?
Options:
(A) 2888
(B) 3000
(C) 2887
(D) 27781
(E) 2788
answer: Stream of consciousness: 60*5:36*6:75*3
100: 72: 75
100/247 * 7410 = 3000 The answer is (B).

q: The speed of a boat in still water is 50kmph and the speed of the current is 20kmph. Find the speed downstream and upstream?
Options:
(A) 40, 68 kmph
(B) 40, 30 kmph
(C) 70, 30 kmph
(D) 40, 60 kmph
(E) 20, 60 kmph
a: Stream of consciousness: Speed downstream = 50 + 20 = 70 kmph
Speed upstream = 50 - 20 = 30 kmph The answer is (C).

question: John has 10pairs of dark blue socks and 10pairs of black socks. He keeps them all in the same bag. If he picks out 3socks at random, then what is the probability thathe will get a matching pair?

q: A wheel rotates 20 times every minute and moves 20 cm during each rotation. How many metres does the wheel move in one hour?
Options:
(A) 4 metre
(B) 12 metre
(C) 240 metre
(D) 2400 metre
(E) 130 metre
a: Stream of consciousness: Number of times wheel moves in 1 hour = 20 * 60 = 1200
:. Distance moves = (1200*20) cms = 24000 cms
In metres = 240 metre The answer is (C).

q: A box contains 3 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If four marbles are picked at random, what is the probability that none is blue?
Options:
(A) 92/37
(B) 33/91
(C) 71/28
(D) 91/42
(E) 91/33
a:
Stream of consciousness: Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles. When four marbles are picked at random, then the probability that none is blue is = C/C = (12 * 11 * 10 * 9)/(15 * 14 * 13 * 12) = 33/91 The answer is (B).
