Q:

x and y are integers

x + y < 11 , and x > 6

What is the smallest possible value of x - y ?

A) 1 B) 24
C) 4 D) -2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4

Explanation:

The smallest value will be obtained by giving x the smallest possible value while y gets the largest possible value. The smallest value for x = 7. This means that y will have to be less than or equal to 3 (so that x + y <11), but we want the largest value of y which is 3.

The difference, x - y will be 4.

Q:

A certain sum of money amounts to Rs 1008 in 2 years and to Rs 1164 in 3 ½  years. Find the sum and the rate of interest.

A) 800, 14% B) 800, 13%
C) 800, 12% D) 800, 19%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 800, 13%

Explanation:

S.I. for 1 ½ years = Rs (1164 - 1008) = Rs 156 . 

S.I. for 2 years = Rs (156 x 23 x 2)= Rs 208. 

Therefore, Principal = Rs (1008 - 208) = Rs 800. 

Now, P = 800, T= 2 and S.I. = 208.

Therefore, Rate = (100 x S.I.) / (P x T) = [ (100 x 208)/(800 x 2)]% = 13%

Q:

What annual instalment will discharge a debt of Rs 1092 due in 3 years at 12% simple interest?

A) Rs.325 B) Rs.545
C) Rs.560 D) Rs.550
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.325

Explanation:

Let each instalment be Rs.x .

 

1st year =  [x + (x * 12 * 2)/100] 

2nd year = [ x + (x *12 * 1)/100] 

3rd year = x 

Then, [x + (x * 12 * 2)/100] + [ x + (x *12 * 1)/100] + x =1092 

3x + ( 24x/100 ) + ( 12x/100 )  = 1092 

336x =109200

Therefore, x = 325 

Each instalment = Rs. 325

Q:

Fact 1: All hats have brims.
Fact 2: There are black hats and blue hats.
Fact 3: Baseball caps are hats.

If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact?
I. All caps have brims.
II. Some baseball caps are blue.
III. Baseball caps have no brims.

A) I only B) II only
C) I, II, and III D) None of the statements is a fact.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of the statements is a fact.

Explanation:

All baseball caps have brims, since baseball caps are hats (Fact 3) and all hats have brims (Fact 1). This rules out statement III—but it doesn’t follow that all caps, a category that may include caps that are not baseball caps, have brims (statement I). Statement II cannot be confirmed, either, since it is possible, given the information, that all baseball caps are black.
