Solution

• 200*1.1*360 = 79200 answer.


The following graph shows profits of 5 companies. What was the average

profit in 1979?


Solution :

• A =130• B = 40• C = 110• D = 60• E = 90 • Let us add them and divide by 5: • =430/5 = 86 answer.


Solve it

• A cube with edges equal to 8cm is painted on all the six faces and is subsequently cut into 64 identical cubes. The number ct smaller cubes painted on atleast two faces is

• (1) 24 (2) 16• (3) 36• (4) 32


Solution

• There are four on the top right side. There are 4 on the opposite side also (4*4*4 = 64).

• Thus we have 4+4+2+2 cubes in front, same 12 in the back side also. We have 8 in sides also. Thus we have 32 cubes.

• Ans.


Solve it

• The perimeter of a regular hexagon is 36cm. The area of the hexagon is

• (1) 54*sqrt(3) sq cm (2) 108*3 sq cm• (3) 27*3 sq cm (4) 18*3 sq cm• Solution: • One side of hexagon = 6• One triagle = ((sqrt(3)/4 * side )^2 =1.7/4* 36 • Hexagon = 6* equilateral triangle = 6*sqrt(3)/4*36• =54* sqrt(3) ans


Solve it …

• How many patient does the doctor examine in a day, if he treats 5 patients in 3 hours with breaks of 10 minutes between two consecutive patients and works for 10 hours per day?

• (1) 16 (2) 15• (3) 12 (4) 20


Solution

• 3 hours = 180 minutes• Break = 4*10 = 40• Time per patient = 140 / 5 = 28 minutes• Total time : 10 hours *60 = 600 minutes• 600 – 28 = 572• Now dividing 572 / (28+10) = 15• Thus the doctor checks 15+1 = 16

patients.


If the interior angle of a regular polygon is twice its exterior angle

then the polygon is a(1) rhombus (2) pentagon(3) hexagon (4) heptagonInterior angle = 2X and exterior angle = X

DATA SUFFICIENCY QUESTION.40 pens were distributed equally

amon all the participants, then how many participants were there?

(A) The number of participants was a prime number greater than 10.

(B) The leftover pen was kept by the Chairman.


Solution

• If we combine both the statements, we can get the answer. One pen was left (given to the chairman), so 39 pen were distributed.

• 39 = 3*13• Thus the number of participants must be

either 3 or 13. since it had to be above 10, therefore the answer is 13. (so answer can be drawn with the help of both the students together). Ans.


WHAT IS THE VALUE OF X


WHAT IS THE VALUE OF X

gap is of 4 and in second series the gap is of 5. their LCM is 20 so we have to find the gaps of 20 each.

• Last term is 417. let us deduct 21 from 417, we get 396. now let us divide it by 20. We get : 19. Thus we have 19+1 = 20 common terms. Answer.

mountains.• (c) Would be a mere curiosity.• (d) Would never be able to hunt for food.


Solution

• A giant Ant would not be able to move mountains because it is just a curoisity (we are not sure about what could it do). Other options are not logical – as logically we cannot say that it is structural failure or it cannot hunt for food or it cannot move mountains.

Puzzle

• Goti and I started walking towards each other from two places lOO m apart. After walking 30m, Goti turns left and goes lO m, then he turns right and goes 20m then turns right again and comes back to the road and starts walking. If we walk with the same speed, what is the distance between us at this point of time


Solution

• (Goti walks 70 meters in all), so I walk 70 meters towards Goti’s starting point and now I am 30 meters from that. Goti takes only 30+20 meters on the road. Thus Goti is 50 meters from my starting point. Thus there is a gap of 20 meters between me and Goti. Answer.

Multiply 12 to 13 ( note - both are octal numbers, your outcomes must

also be in octal numbers)? • Let us first convert them into decimal

numbers: 12= 1*8^1 + 2*8^0 =10• 13 = 1*8^1 + 3*8^0 =11• Now multiply 10 to 11 = 110• Now convert it into octal number: • 110/8 = 13 / 8 • =156 • Test = now convert 156 to decimal

number


Convert 156 (octal) to decimal number …..

discount (marked price) is : • 133*100/95 =140 , so 40 is the answer.


A vertical pole PO is standing at the centre 0 of a square ABCD. If AC

subtends an angle 90° at point P of the pole then the angle subtended

by a side of the squareat P is

(a) 35° (b) 45°(c) 30° (d) 60°

(e) None of the above

In the diagram the two circles pass through each other’s centre. If the

radius of each circle is 2, what is the perimeter of the region marked B?


Solution

• Permieter of one circle is 2/3 now because, it is being cut by other circle.

• Thus 2/3 + 2/3 of perimeters added : • 2 * 2/3 * (formula of perimeter = 2pi *r)• =(8 * pi * r) /3 answer.


What is angle C?


Solution

• Angle O is double the angle A. Thus it is 100 degree. Thus C is (180 -100)/2 = 40 degrees answer.


What is angle a?


Solution

• Angles from D and C are equal . • 180 – 60 – 37 – x• =83 – x• Let us sum up for two angles: • (180+180 ) = 360• 83-x + 83 – x + 180+2X = 360• 2Y +2X = 180 let us assume Y = 53 • 2X = 72 or X = 36 answer (solve by options,

so angle A = 53 ) answer.
