two varieties of steel , a and b , have a ratio of iron to chromium as 5 : 1 and 7 : 2 , respectively . steel c is produced by mixing alloys a and b at a ratio of 3 : 2 . what is the ratio of iron to chromium in c ?
in 6 parts of alloy a , 5 parts are iron , and 1 part is chromium . in 9 parts of alloy b , 7 parts are iron and 2 parts are chromium . first , to compare the two alloys , get the same number of parts in total - we can use 18 . so we have : in 18 parts of alloy a , 15 parts are iron and 3 are chromium . in 18 parts of alloy b , 14 parts are iron and 4 are chromium . so combining 3 of a with 2 of b , we ' d be combining 45 and 28 parts of iron , or 73 parts of iron , with 9 and 8 of chromium , or 17 of chromium , so 73 to 17 is the answer . answer : d

you have three options here . approach is to calculate volumes for all of them and see which one is greatest . 1 . cylinder ' s base rests on a 4 x 5 side of the box . so , height becomes 6 and the maximum possible radius becomes 4 / 2 . so , maximum volume = Ο€ . ( 4 / 2 ) ^ 2.6 = Ο€ 24 2 . cylinder ' s base rests on a 5 x 6 side of the box . so , height becomes 4 and the maximum possible radius becomes 5 / 2 . so , maximum volume = Ο€ . ( 5 / 2 ) ^ 2.4 = Ο€ 25 3 . cylinder ' s base rests on a 4 x 6 side of the box . so , height becomes 5 and the maximum possible radius becomes 4 / 2 . so , maximum volume = Ο€ . ( 4 / 2 ) ^ 2.5 = Ο€ 20 option 2 gives maximum value and so that should be the answer , Ο€ 25 . answer : c

anusha , banu and esha run a running race of 100 meters . anusha is the fastest followed by banu and then esha . anusha , banu and esha maintain constant speeds during the entire race . when anusha reached the goal post , banu was 10 m behind . when banu reached the goal post esha was 10 m behind . how far was behind anusha when the latter reached the goal post .
by that time anusha covered 100 m , bhanu covered 90 m . so ratio of their speeds = 10 : 9 by that time bhanu reached 100 m , esha covered 90 m . so ratio of their speeds = 10 : 9 ratio of the speed of all the three = 100 : 90 : 81 by that time anusha covered 100 m , esha covers only 81 . answer : c

"the ratio of economy to luxury cars is 4 : 3 - - > e : l = 4 : 3 = 24 : 18 . the ratio of economy cars to sport utility vehicles is 6 : 5 - - > e : s = 6 : 5 = 24 : 20 . thus , l : s = 18 : 20 = 9 : 10 . answer : a ."

which digits should come in place of @ and # if the number 62684 @ # is divisible by both 8 and 5 ?
explanation : since the given number is divisible by 5 , so 0 or 5 must come in place of # . but , a number ending with 5 is never divisible by 8 . so , 0 will replace # . now , the number formed by the last three digits is 4 @ 0 , which becomes divisible by 8 , if @ is replaced by 4 . hence , digits in place of @ and # are 4 and 0 respectively . answer : a

ashok secured average of 76 marks in 6 subjects . if the average of marks in 5 subjects is 74 , how many marks did he secure in the 6 th subject ?
"explanation : number of subjects = 6 average of marks in 6 subjects = 76 therefore total marks in 6 subjects = 76 * 6 = 456 now , no . of subjects = 5 total marks in 5 subjects = 74 * 5 = 370 therefore marks in 6 th subject = 456 – 370 = 86 answer : e"

a man has a certain number of small boxes to pack into parcles . if he packs 3 , 4 , 5 or 6 in a parcel , he is left with one over ; if he packs 7 in a parcle , none is left over . what is the number of boxes , he may have to pack ?
explanation : clearly , the required number would be such that it leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3 , 4 , 5 , or 6 and no remainder when divided by 7 . thus , the number must be of the form ( l . c . m of 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ) x + 1 i . e . , ( 60 x + 1 ) and a multiple of 7 . clearly , for x = 5 , the number is a multiple of 7 . so the number is 301 . answer : b ) 301

find b and c so that the parabola with equation y = 4 x 2 - bx - c has a vertex at ( 2 , 4 ) ?
h = b / 8 = 2 : formula for x coordinate of vertex b = 16 : solve for b y = 4 for x = 2 : the vertex point is a solution to the equation of the parabola 4 ( 2 ) 2 - 16 ( 2 ) - c = 4 c = - 20 : solve for c correct answer b

pipe a can fill a tank in 8 minutes and pipe b cam empty it in 24 minutes . if both the pipes are opened together after how many minutes should pipe b be closed , so that the tank is filled in 30 minutes ?
let the pipe b be closed after x minutes . 30 / 8 - x / 24 = 1 = > x / 24 = 30 / 8 - 1 = 11 / 4 = > x = 11 / 4 * 24 = 66 . answer : e
a = 30 / 8 b = a - 1 c = b * 24
