Half of the rolls were sold by noon and 80 % of the remaining rolls were sold between noon and closing time. How many dozen rolls had not been sold when the bakery closed yesterday? ans: 4 rolls were not sold.............half of them were sold by noon.......so 20 rolls remain....and then 20% were not sold,, so 20% of the 20 rolls is 4 then it is the answer 23) If n=4p, where p is a prime number greater than 2, how many different positive even divisors does n have including n? ans: 4 24) A dealer originally bought 100 identical batteries at a total cost of q rupees. If each battery was sold at 50 percent above the original cost per battery, then, in terms of q, for how many rupees was each battery sold? ans: bought for q/100 dollars per battery each battery sold with profit 50% is q/100 + q/100*50/100 =q/100+q/200 =3q/200

25) The price of lunch for 15 people was 207 pounds, including a 15 percent gratuity of service. What was the average price per person, EXCLUDING the gratuity?

ans: Let the net price excluding the gratuity of service = x pounds Then, total price including 15% gratuity of service = x + 0.15 x = 1.15 x pounds So, 1.15 x = 207 pounds ==> x = 207 / 1.15 = 180 pounds Net price of lunch for each person = 180 / 15 = 12 pounds 26) Of the following, which is the closest approximation of (50.2*0.49)/199.8 ? ans: For approximation (50.2*0.49)/199.8 can be taken as 50*0.5/200 = 25/200 = 1/8 = 0.125 27) How many prime numbers between 1 and 100 are factors of 7150? ans: 7,150 = 2 * 5 * 5 * 11 * 13 so there are 4 distinct prime numbers that are below 100 28) Guitar Strings often go dead - become less responsive and bright in tone - after a few weeks of intense use. A researcher whose son is a classical guitarist hypothesized that dirt and oil, rather than changes in the material properties of the string, were responsible. Which of the following investigations is most likely to yield significant information that would help evaluate the researcher's hypothesis? ans: Determining whether smearing various substances on new guitar strings causes them to go dead 29) Red blood cells in which the malarial-fever parasite resides are eliminated from a person's body after 120 days. Because the parasite cannot travel to a new generation of red blood cells, any fever that develops in a person more than 120 days after that person has moved to a malaria free region is not due to malarial parasite. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above? ans: In some cases, the parasite that causes malarial fever travels to cells of the spleen, which are less frequently eliminated from a persons body than are red blood cells.

Let the distance covered by dog in 1 leap is x and hare covered 1 leap is y. then, 3x = 4y => x =(4/3) y => 4x =(16/3) y Then, The ratio of speeds of dog and hare = Ratio of distances covered by them in the same time = 4x : 5y = (16/3)y : 5y =(16/3) : 5 = 16:15 Ans...=16:15

34 There are two boxes,one containing 39 red balls & the other containing 26 green balls.you are allowed to move the balls b/w the boxes so that when you choose a box random & a ball at random from the chosen box,the probability of getting a red ball is maximized.this maximum probability is a)60 b)50 c)80 d)30 the probability of getting a red ball should be maximized so we will keep 1 red ball in the first box and transfer remaining 38 red balls to other box which has green. The reason for doing this only this combination will make the probability of getting red ball is maximum (i.e) 1. In the question its mentioned that first we have to choose a box at random. So 2 boxes are there, probability of selecting a bag is 1/2 Probability of getting red ball from first box is 1 Probability of getting green ball from second box is 38/64 So (1/2)*1 for first box and (1/2)*(38/64) for box 2 answer is (1/2)*1 + ((1/2)*(38/64) which is approximately 0.8 Next number in the given series 1, 7, 8, 49, 50, 56, 57, 343 344 because 1*7=7 7+1-8 7*7=49 49+1=50 8*7=56 56+1=57 49*7=343 343+1=344 ans= 344 q.1 in how many ways can 3 postcards can be posted in 5 postboxes? q.2.in how many ways can 5 postboxes hold 3 post cards? q.1 in how many ways can 3 postcards can be posted in 5 postboxes? first post card can be posted in any of the 5 post boxes =5c1 ways second post card can be posted in any of the 5 post boxes =5c1 ways third post card can be posted in any of the 5 post boxes =5c1 ways number of ways=5c1*5c1*5c1=125=5^3 q.2.in how many ways can 5 postboxes hold 3 post cards? first post box can hold 3 post cards in 3c1 ways second post box can hold 3 post cards in 3c1 ways third post box can hold 3 post cards in 3c1 ways fourth post box can hold 3 post cards in 3c1 ways fifth post box can hold 3 post cards in 3c1 ways so number of ways =3c1*3c1*3c1*3c1*3c1=3^5 35 A number has exactly 3 prime factors, 125 factors of this number are perfect squares and 27 factors of this

number are perfect cubes. overall how many factors does the number have??? Answer for this question is 729 The explanation goes like this Let a,b,c be three prime no. since the no. of perfect square as a factor is 125 which can only be if every prime no. has power in the multiple of 2 including zeros(bcoz any no. to the power of zero is a perfect square) so power must be 0,2,4,6,8 thereby 5*5*5=125 Since no. of cube as a factor is 27 therefore power in the prime no. will be in the multiple of 3 so power are 0,3,6 hence the no. N=a^8*b^8*c^8 hence total no. of factor is (8+1)(8+1)(8+1)=729 there r three buckets..of 8,5 n 3 litres...out of which only 8 ltr bucket is fully filled...u hv to fill exact 4-4 ltr liquid in 8 and 5 litre bucket by using only these buckets in minimm num of steps...... 8ltr 5ltr 3ltr initially 8 0 0 step1 3 5 0 step2 3 2 3 step3 6 2 0 step4 6 0 2 step5 1 5 2 step 6 1 4 3 step 7 4 4 0 total 7 steps 36 The climb from foot to top of a hill 800 meters, Jack can climb at 16 meters per minute and rests for two minutes or 20meters per 2 minutes and rest for one minute.

1 Four friends namely Rahul, Ravi, Rajesh and Rohan contested for a dairy milk chocolate. To decide which friend will get the chocolate they decided to throw two dice. Every friend was asked to choose a number and if the sum of the numbers on two dice equals that number, the concerned person will get the chocolate. Rahul's choice was7, Ravi's choice was 9, Rajesh's choice was 10 and Rohan's choice was 11. Who has the maximum probability of winning the amount. a) Rahul b) Ravi c) Rajesh d) Rohan Rahul has chosen 7, similarly Ravi-9,Rajesh-10,Rohan-11 (1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6) Sum of the digits are= 2,3,4,5,6,7 (2,1)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(2,5)(2,6) Sum of the digits are= 3,4,5,6,7,8 (3,1)(3,2)(3,3)(3,4)(3,5)(3,6)Sum of the digits are= 4,5,6,7,8,9 (4,1)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)(4,5)(4,6)Sum of the digits are= 5,6,7,8,9,10 (5,1)(5,2)(5,3)(5,4)(5,5)(5,6)Sum of the digits are= 6,7,8,9,10,11 (6,1)(6,2)(6,3)(6,4)(6,5)(6,6)Sum of the digits are= 7,8,9,10,11,12 Among these 7 comes 6 times, 9 comes 4times, 10 comes 3times,11 comes only 2 times. So the maximum probability goes to Rahul 2 Messrs. Siva Constructions, leading agents in Chennai prepared models of their lands in the shape of a rectangle and triangle. They made models having same area. The length and width of rectangle model are 24 inches and 8 inches respectively. The base of the triangle model is 16 inches. What is the altitude of triangle model from the base to the top? a) 24 inches b) 8 inches c) 20 inches d) 32 inches Area of a rectangle= Area of the Triangle So, l*b=1/2(b*h)

24*8=1/2(16*8) therefore 24inches will be the answer 3 There is a 12*6 grid..grid contains 1*1 squares..what is d total number of squares..(consider 1*1,2*2,3*3,4*4,5*5,6*6 size squares as well).Lady has 25 blues, 7 red,9 yellow gloves and hats.how many gloves of same colour. (max + min + 2) = 25 + 9 +2=36 1!+2!+.....=50!=? 3.10350532 10^64 Anita make cube with dimension 5*5*5 using 1*1*1 cubes.find no. Of cubes to make it hollow of same shape. To make the 5*5*5 hollow, the inner cubic part must be removed. This would constitute one cube each from front,back,top,bottom,left and right ! Since the 5*5*5 is made up of 1*1*1 cubes, 3*3*3 cubes (i.e. 5-2*5-2*5-2) would have to be removed to make it hollow with the shape retained. 27 cubes would be removed, remaining 125-27=98. 1) if 3y + x > 2 and x + 2y let 3y+x=2 y+2y+x=2 2y+x=2-y(ans) 3y > 2 -x 2y > 4/3 - 2x/3 x+2y > 4/3 + x/3 x + 2y > 1/3(4 + x) 4 Tim and Elan are 90 km from each other, they start to move each other simultaneously, Tim at speed 10 and Elan 5kmph, if every hour they double their speed what is the distance that Tim will pass until he meet Elan? Tim and Elan will cover the distance in ratio of 2: 1 in same time. so out of 90 kms, Tim will travel 60 kms and Elan will travel 30 mtrs. he length and breadth of a field is 300x400ft,if there are 3 ants on average per square inch of field,find the approximate number of ants in field as 300 ft=3600 inch and 400 ft=4800 inch.then area in sqr inch=17280000 1 sqr inch need 3 ant hence 17280000 sqr inch need 3*17280000 ants. .diagonal of a square is double the side of an equilateral triangle find the ratio of area of triangle to area of square let sides of equilateral triangle be 'a', therefore area= 3/4 * a^2 now, diagonal of square is 2a therefore sides of square will be 2*a and area of square = 2 a^2 hence, ratio = (3/4* a^2)/(2* a^2) answer = 3/8 5 Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line, .i.e the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The minimum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 5 points in the plane in general position(.i.e no three points in P lie on a line) is a)3 b)5 c) 2 d)1

The meaning of this question is little complicated. In easy language the question should be: 6 There are some points in the plane. We have to make a separation between these points by forming a line in such a way that one point could be separate from the others. No 3 points are in a line. Maximum no of methods for plotting the line and minimum no of methods for plotting the line will be (arrangement of points is your choice) Now Answer Is: For Maximize: The number of methods, Points should be drawn in the circumference of the CIRCLE So answer would be the number of total point in the plane. For minimize: The number of methods we should draw 3 points in a TRIANGLE and all other point inside this triangle in such a way that no 3 points could be in a line. If it will be allowed to draw the points in a line then minimum possibilities will be 2 only, because if we take all points in a line then you can separate only the corner points from the others. For example If we have 10 points then maximum possibilities = 10 and minimum = 3 similarly for 5 points Max = 5, Min = 3 for 19 max= 19 Min = 3 f(x)=f(f(x))=f(x^2)....how many such functions with degree >2 exist does not exist.... In a sequence of integers, A(n)=A(n-1)-A(n-2),where A(n) is the nth term in the sequence, n is an integer and n>=3, A(1)=1,A(2)=1. Calculate S(1000), where S(1000) is the sum of first 1000 terms. check it now A(1)=1,A(2)=1. A(3)=A(2)-A(1) acc to the given formula A(n)=A(n-1)-A(n-2) A(3)=1-1=0. similarliy,A(4)=A(3)-A(2)=0-1=-1. A(5)=A(4)-A(3)=-1-0=-1. A(6)=A(5)-A(4)=-1-(-1)=0. after 6th term seq is repeating like...1,1,0,-1,-1,0...after every 6 terms so the sum of these 6 terms are 1+1+0+(-1)+(-1)+0=0. now we have to find sum of 1000 terms... sum of first 600 terms is 0...(as consider 1,1,0,-1,-1,0 as one sequence,now consider 166 seq i.e 166*6=996 terms) so the sum of first 996 terms is 0...after that 4 terms come i.e 1,1,0,-1 so the sum of last 4 terms = 1+1+0+(-1)=1.

3y+x>2 and x+2y-1 y the ans is y>1. explanation: x+2y-1=0 so x+2y=1 now 3y+x>2 given we can write in this way x+2y+y>2 then putting x+2y=1 we get 1+y>2 =>y>2-1=>y>1 12 Find the no of zeros in the product of 1^1*2^2*3^3*.....*49^49?? total zeros at the end of product 5^5 x 10^10 x 15^15 x 20^20 x 25^25 x 30^30 x 35^35 x 40^40 x 45^45 will be 5+10+15+20+50+30+35+40+45 = 250 zeros 13 n! has 13 zeros than wat is the higest and lowest value of n?? Here we have to consider only the 5,10,15,20.... these terms.. so form (5,10,15,20,30,35,40,45,55 ) we got 1 no of zero from each. Now from 25(5*5) and 50(5*5*2) we got 2 no of zeroes form each. so upto 55 factorial we get (9+4)= 13 zeroes. so 55! is the smallest value and 59! is the largest value.
