question: The price of a T.V. set worth Rs. 30000 is to be paid in 20 installments of Rs. 1000 each. If the rate of interest be 6% per annum, and the first installment be paid at the time of purchase, then the value of the last installment covering the interest as well will be?
Options:
(A) 22678
(B) 26699
(C) 29000
(D) 19000
(E) 26711
answer: Stream of consciousness: Money paid in cash = Rs. 1000
Balance payment = (30000 - 1000) = Rs. 29000 The answer is (C).

q: Find the mean proportional between 36 & 49?
Options:
(A) A) 42
(B) B) 61
(C) C) 63
(D) D) 65
(E) E) 67
a: Stream of consciousness: Formula = ab
A = 36 and B = 49
3649 = 6 7 = 42 The answer is (A).

question: A, B, C, and D are four points, any three of which are non-collinear. Then, the number of ways to construct three lines each joining a pair of points so that the lines do not form a triangle is
Options:
(A) 7
(B) 8
(C) 9
(D) 24
(E) 23
answer: Stream of consciousness: To construct 2 lines, three points can be selected out of 4 in 4 x 3 x 2 = 24 ways. Now, if third line goes from the third-point to the first point, a triangle is formed, and if it goes to the fourth point, a triangle is not formed. So, there are 24 ways to form a triangle and 24 ways of avoiding triangle. The answer is (D).

q: Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank from empty to full in 30 minutes, 20 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. When the tank is empty, all the three pipes are opened. A, B and C discharge chemical solutions P, Q and R respectively. What is the proportion of solution P in the liquid in the tank after 3 minutes?
Options:
(A) 3/11
(B) 2/11
(C) 1/11
(D) 4/11
(E) 1/11
a: Stream of consciousness: Part filled by (A + B + C) in 3 minutes = 3(1/30 + 1/20 + 1/10) = 11/20
Part filled by A in 3 minutes = 3/30
Required ratio = 3/30 * 20/11 = 2/11 The answer is (B).

question: A bullet train 140 m long is running at 60 kmph. In how much time will it pass a platform 360 m long?
Options:
(A) 30 Seconds
(B) 22 Seconds
(C) 41 Seconds
(D) 24 Seconds
(E) 29 Seconds
answer: Stream of consciousness: 30 Seconds
Distance travelled = 140 + 360m = 500m
Speed = 60 * 5/8 = 50/3m
Time = 500 * 3/50 = 30 Seconds The answer is (A).

question: Find the value of y from (12)^3 x 6^4 432 = y?
Options:
(A) 4567
(B) 4689
(C) 5004
(D) 5678
(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).
