Q:

x = y - (50/y), where x and y are both > 0 

If the value of y is doubled in the equation above, the value of x will

A) decrease B) stay the same
C) increase four fold D) increase to more than double
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) increase to more than double

Explanation:

The best approach is to pick a number that satisfies the rules that x and y are greater than 0. So for example you could choose 25 for y.

The value of x before doubling is then 25 - 50/25 = 23

The value after doubling y will be 50 - 50/50 = 49, which is more than double.

Q:

What is the simplified result of following the steps below in order?

       1.Add 5y to 2x

       2.Multiply the sum by 3

       3.Substract x+y from the product

A) 5x + 14y B) 5x + 16y
C) 5x + 5y D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5x + 14y

Explanation:

Step 1 :2x + 5y

Step 2 :3(2x + 5y) = 6x + 15y

Step 3 :(6x + 15y) - (x +y) = 6x + 15y - x - y (watch that last minus sign!)

This gives 5x + 14y

Q:

What should be the maximum value of B in the following equation?
8A9 – 6B2 + 4C6 = 723

A) 4 B) 1
C) 5 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7

Explanation:

   1 1
   8 A 9
+ 4 C 6
-  6 B 2
   7 2 3
We may represent the given sum, as shown below:

1 + A + C - B = 12
A + C - B = 11

Now,giving the maximum values to A and C, i.e.

A = 9 and C = 9, we get B = 7.

Q:

If 1/a+1/b+1/c = 1/(a+b+c) where a+b+c not equals '0', abc not equals '0', What is the value of (a+b) (b+c) (a+c) ?

A) 3 B) 2
C) 1 D) 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0

Explanation:

Let assume the value of a,b &c that will satisfy the equation.
so a=1,b=1,c= -1 or a=1,b= -1 &c=1 or a= -1,b=1,c=1
here all three cases satisfy the equation
assume any one a=1,b=1,c= -1

Hence (a+b)(b+c)(c+a)=(1+1)(1-1)(-1+1) = 0

There are several peacocks and deers in a cage (with no other types of animals). There are 72 heads and 200 feet inside the cage. How many peacocks are there, and how many deers ?

A) 42 & 24 B) 38 & 26
C) 36 & 24 D) 44 & 28
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 44 & 28

Explanation:

Let
x = peacocks
y = deers

2x + 4y = 200
x + y = 72
y = 72 - x
2x + 288 - 4x = 200
x = 44 peacocks
y = 28 deers
