A boy was asked to find 7/9 of a number. But he divided the number by 7/9, Thus he got 32 more than the correct answer. Find the number.
[ "62", "63", "34", "61" ]
B
Explanation: Let the number be x. x/7/9 = 9x/7 = 32 + y Actualy he should do 7x/9 = y y = (9x/7) - 32 y = (9x - 224)/7 (9x - 224)/7 = 7x/9 81x - 2016 = 49x 81x - 49x = 2016 32x = 2016 x = 63 Answer: Option B

A container holds 4 quarts of milk and 4 quarts of water. How many quarts of water must be added to the container to create a mixture that is 3 parts milk to 5 parts water by volume?
[ "10/3", "7/3", "8/3", "4/3" ]
C
An alternate to the alligation method is the more direct/algebraic method: Let x be the amount of water to be added. New total amount of water = 4+x Total amount of milk= 4 New total = 4+4+x=8+x Final ratio required (for water) = 5/(5+3)=5/8 Thus, (4+x)/(8+x) = 5/8 --> solving for x you get x = 8/3.

[ "20", "15", "40", "36" ]
A
Explanation : Let the person has x Rs , then price of 50 oranges or 40 mangoes is x Rs. Therefore, from given information x = (x / 10) + (x / 2) + Amount left. Hence, the amount left to buy oranges is (2x / 5) , since price of 50 oranges or 40 mangoes is x Rs , hence price of 1 orange, 1 mango is (x / 50), (x / 40) res...

In how many ways can a group of 20 friends be seated round 2 tables if one of the tables can seat 12 and the other can seat 8 people?
[ "25C5 * 10! *4!", "20C4 * 11! * 7!", "21C2 * 10! *3!", "15C5 * 9! *4!" ]
B
12 people can be selected from 20 people in 20C12 ways. Remaining 8 people can be selected from 8 people in 8C8 ways. Now, arranging 12 people on a round table = (12-1) ! = 11! Arranging 8 people on a round table = (8-1) ! = 7! Hence, total number of ways = 20C12 * 11! * 8C8 * 7! = 20C4 * 11! * 7! C

Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 5 and 6 hours respectively. Pipe C can empty it in 12 hours. If all the three pipes are opened together, then the tank will be filled in:
[ "1 13 /17 hours", "3 9 /17 hours", "None of these", "4 1 /2 hours" ]
B
Explanation: Solution 1 Pipes A and B can fill the tank in 5 and 6 hours respectively. Therefore, part filled by pipe A in 1 hour =1/5 part filled by pipe B in 1 hour =1/6 Pipe C can empty the tank in 12 hours. Therefore, part emptied by pipe C in 1 hour =1/12 Net part filled by Pipes A,B,C together in 1 hour =1/5 +1/6...

What force is greater on rougher surfaces than smooth surfaces?
[ "gravity", "friction", "tension", "acceleration" ]
B
Rougher surfaces have more friction between them than smoother surfaces. That’s why we put sand on icy sidewalks and roads. The blades of skates are much smoother than the soles of shoes. That’s why you can’t slide as far across ice with shoes as you can with skates (see Figure below ). The rougher surface of shoes cau...

The interest on Rs. 750 for 2 years is the same as the true discount on Rs. 960 due 2 years hence. If the rate of interest is the same in both cases, it is:
[ "54%", "11%", "14%", "94%" ]
C
S.I. on Rs. 750 = T.D. on Rs. 960. This means P.W. of Rs. 960 due 2 years hence is Rs. 750. T.D. = Rs. (960 - 750) = Rs. 210. Thus, S.I. on R.s 750 for 2 years is Rs. 210. Rate = 100 x 210 % = 14% 750 x 2 Answer: B

An investor purchased 100 shares of stock X at 8 1/8 dollars per share and sold them all a year later at 24 dollars per share. If the investor paid a 2 percent brokerage fee on both the total purchase price and the total selling price, which of the following is closest to the investor's percent gain on this investment?
[ "92%", "300%", "190%", "380%" ]
C
If the purchase price was 8$ per share then the investor would have made a profit of 200%. Since the purchase price is slightly more than 8$ the profit would be slightly less than 200%. Also a 2% brokerage is negligible and it brings down the profit percentage only by a small value. Approximation is very useful to solv...

A certain store sold pens for $0.35 each and pencils for $0.25 each. If a customer purchased both pens and pencils from the store for a total of $1.60, what total number of pens and pencils did the customer purchase?
[ "6", "11", "12", "9" ]
A
Answer: Algebraically, the question looks like this: 2.5 = 0.35x + 0.25y. There are six possible numbers of pencils that fit that requirement: 1 pen: $0.35 and 5 pencils for $0.25 each. That's 1 pens and 5 pencils for a total of 6 pens and pencils. Choice (A) is correct.
