question: Which of the options is a two-digit number, which has a unit's digit that exceeds its ten's digit by 3 and the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 175.
Options:
(A) 25
(B) 36
(C) 47
(D) 52
(E) 63
answer: Stream of consciousness: Using the elimination method the option that fits this description is 25
5-2 = 3 (unit's digit that exceeds its ten's digit by 3)
25*7 = 175 (the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 175) The answer is (A).

q: A train does a journey without stoppage in 8 hours, if it had travelled 5 km/h faster, it would have done the journey in 6 hours 40 minutes. Find its original speed.
Options:
(A) 25 km/h
(B) 40 km/h
(C) 45 km/h
(D) 36.5 km/h
(E) None of these
a: Stream of consciousness: Let original speed = S km/h
Here, distance to be covered is constant
S 8 = (S + 5)(203)
8S - 203S = 1003 S = 1004 = 25 km/h The answer is (A).

question: A no. when divided by the sum of 555 and 445 gives 2times their difference as quotient & 80 as remainder. Find the no. is?
Options:
(A) 220880
(B) 145778
(C) 220081
(D) 220080
(E) 220030
answer: Stream of consciousness: (555 + 445) * 2 * 110 + 80 = 220000 + 80 = 220080 The answer is (D).

q: There are different 10 circles. What is the number of the greatest possible points with which the circles intersect?
Options:
(A) 90
(B) 100
(C) 110
(D) 180
(E) 200
a: Stream of consciousness: Maximum points of intersection between n different circles = n*(n - 1) = 10*9 = 90 The answer is (A).

question: Find the value of y from given equation: (12)^3 x 6^4 432 = y?
Options:
(A) 2568
(B) 3468
(C) 4500
(D) 4876
(E) 5184
answer: Stream of consciousness: Given Exp. = (12)3 x 64 = (12)3 x 64 = (12)2 x 62 = (72)2 = 5184
432 12 x 62 The answer is (E).

question: A person spends 40% of his salary on food, 25% on house rent, 15% on entertainment and 5% on conveyance. If his savings at the end of the month is Rs. 2700, then his salary per month in rupees is:

answer:
Stream of consciousness: Total expenditure = 40 + 25 + 15 + 5 = 85%
Saving = (100 - 85) = 15%
15/100 Salary = 2700, Salary = 18000 Rs. The answer is (C).
