Rationale: Speed = 60*(5/18) m/sec = 50/3 m/sec
Length of Train (Distance) = Speed * Time
(50/3) * 12 = 200 meter
The answer: (D)
Question: A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 12 seconds. Find the length of the train?
Options:
(A) 150
(B) 872
(C) 287
(D) 200
(E) 212
Reasoning: P (getting a prize) = 10 = 10 = 2/7
(10 + 25) 35
Ans: (B)

Options:
(A) 1/5
(B) 2/7
(C) 2/9
(D) 3/11
(E) 4/11
Rationale: Total boxes = 23
Filled with toys = 16
Filled with appliance = 7
Total boxes for sale = 8
Toy boxes for sale = 4
Appliance boxes for sale = 4
Appliance boxes not for sale = 7 - 4 = 3
The answer: (C)
Question: In Sam's hanger there are 23 boxes, 16 out of the boxes are filled with toys and the rest are filled with electrical appliances. 8 boxes are for sale, 4 of them are filled with toys. How many boxes with electrical appliances are in Sam's hanger that is not for sale?
Options:
(A) 1.
(B) 2.
(C) 3.
(D) 4.
(E) 5.
Reasoning: No of people from 10 - 11 is x
No of people from 11 - 12 is 3x/4
No of people from 12 to 1 is (5/4)(3x/4)
Given that 3x/4 + (5/4)(3x/4) = 27x/16 = 135
Then x = 80
Ans: (E)
Question: The number of people at Ovations Bar in the hour from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. was 25% greater than the number of people there from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. The number of the people at the bar from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. was 25% less than the number there from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. If 135 people were at the bar from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., which of the following is the number of people in the bar from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.?
Options:
(A) 10
(B) 20
(C) 30
(D) 40
(E) 80
Rationale: Since Sam knows the sum of the numbers (x + y) he would only know the answer immediately if the sum was 4 (2 + 2) or 5 (3 + 2). Then when Pete (who knows x*y) knew that Sam didn't know the answer the product must have several numbers that add up to the sum (7 = 3 + 4, 7 = 5 + 2). When Pete doesn't know the answer at this point we know the product must have more than one pair of viable factors (12 = 3 * 4, 12 = 6 * 2). At this point Sam knows the numbers are 3 and 4 because they are the only numbers that meet these criteria.
The answer: (D)
Question: Sum Sam and Product Pete are in class when their teacher gives Sam the Sum of two numbers and Pete the product of the same two numbers (these numbers are greater than or equal to 2). They must figure out the two numbers.
Sam: I don't know what the numbers are Pete.
Pete: I knew you didn't know the numbers... But neither do I.
Sam: In that case, I do know the numbers.1
What are the numbers?
Options:
(A) 1-2
(B) 1-3
(C) 2-4
(D) 3-4
(E) 2-3
Rationale: 1/30 + 1/40 = 7/120
120/7 = 17 1/7 days
The answer: (A)
