Reasoning: D = 25 * 60 + 1400 = 2900 m
T = 2900/60 * 18/5 = 174 sec = 2 mins 54 se
Ans: (C)
Question: A train of 24 carriages, each of 60 meters length, when an engine also of 60 meters length is running at a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will the train cross a bridge 1.4 km long?
Options:
(A) 2 mins 14 sec
(B) 2 mins 34 sec
(C) 2 mins 54 sec
(D) 4 mins 54 sec
(E) 2 mins 44 sec
Rationale: Left After 1st stroke = 1/2
Left After 2nd stroke = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
Left After 3rd stroke = 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8
Left After 4th stroke = 1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16
Left After 5th stroke = 1/2 * 1/16 = 1/32
So removed = 1- 1/32 = 31/32
The answer: (A)
Question: If 1/2 of the air in a tank is removed with each stroke of a vacuum pump, what fraction of the original amount of air has been removed after 5 strokes ?
Options:
(A) 31/32
(B) 7/8
(C) 1/4
(D) 1/8
(E) 1/16
Reasoning: Upfront payment for insurance plan = 800$
Family needs to pay 15 % of first 1000 $ in expense = 150$
Total amount paid by family when medical expenses are equal to or greater than 1000 $ = 800 + 150 = 950 $
Total amount paid by insurance plan for first 1000 $ = 800 $
Total amount paid by family will equal amount paid by plan when medical expense = 1100 $
(Since insurance plan will pay 100% of amount that exceeds 950$ )
Ans: (A)
Question: A family pays $800 per year for an insurance plan that pays 85 percent of the first $1,000 in expenses and 100 percent of all medical expenses thereafter. In any given year, the total amount paid by the family will equal the amount paid by the plan when the family's medical expenses total.
Options:
(A) $1,100
(B) $1,200
(C) $1,400
(D) $1,800
(E) $2,200
Rationale: Largest 4 digit number is 9999
After doing 9999 ÷ 88 we get remainder 55
Hence largest 4 digit number exactly divisible by 88 = 9999 - 55 = 9944
The answer: (C)
Question: Find the largest 4 digit number which isexactly divisible by 88?
Options:
(A) 2413
(B) 4356
(C) 9944
(D) 7939
(E) 4674
Reasoning: 1 man's 1 day work = 1/100
(10 men + 15 women)'s 1 day work = 1/8
15 women's 1 day work = (1/8 - 10/100) = 1/40
1 woman's 1 day work = 1/600
1 woman alone can complete the work in 600 days.
Ans: (E)
Question: 10 men and 15 women together can complete a work in 8 days. It takes 100 days for one man alone to complete the same work. How many days will be required for one woman alone to complete the same work?
Options:
(A) 127 days
(B) 667 days
(C) 177 days
(D) 187 days
(E) 600 days
Reasoning: S = 600/40 = 15 mps
S = 3600/15 = 240 sec = 4 min
