Q2. The citizens of planet nigiet are 8 fingered and have thus developed their decimal system in base 8. A
certain street in nigiet contains 1000 buildings numbered 1 to 1000 in base 8. How many 3s are used in
numbering these buildings?Express your answer in base 10
a) 54 b) 64 c) 265 d) 192
ans is d)192
bcz there are 300 no of 3s in between 1 and 1000 (eg. 20 3s between 1 and 99 and 20 3sben 199 and so on. bt
there are 120 3s between 300 and 399. so total no of 3s are 20+20+120+20+20+20+20+20+20+20=300).
300=3*8^2=3*64=192 in base 10 system.
There are 1000 in base 8 buildings ie,512 buildings accg to dec no system.Now the houses are no:red in base
8.ie,for 512 housesnumbering will be 1-7,10-17,17-27,.........,70-77(from 1-100)similarly name 512 houses using
base 8 ie, from 100-177,200-277,..........700-777,1000.
total no of 3 from (0-77.....200-277) is 16,300-377 is 16+64,rest also is 16.
so total no of 3 will be 16*8+64=192.
Q3. If a person moves 15km straight and turns 45 km right and moves 15Km staright then how much
distance he
needs to walk to reach starting point??
straight=15km,and right turn =45+15=60,

distance to the starting point = square root (15^2 + 60^2)=square root (3825)=61.85
another soln:
assuming last 15km straight to be in similar direction with respect to the the initial straight direction.
thus he is totally 15+15=30 km away in the same direction from his initial point.
this makes the view of a triangle of base=45,edge1=30 then edge2=?
now edge2^2=edge1^2+base^2=30^2+45^2=sqrt(2925)

Q6. Spores of a fungus, called late blight, grow and spread infection rapidly. These pathogens were
responsible for the Irish potato famine of the mid-19th century. These seem to have attacked the tomato
crops in England this year. The tomato crops have reduced and the price of the crop has risen up. The price
has already gone up to $45 a box from $27 a box a month ago. How much more would a vegetable vendor
need to pay to buy 27 boxes this month over what he would have paid last month?
27 boxes cost on last month=27*27=729,

27 boxes cost after price increased = 45*27 = 1215,
vegetable vendor need to pay to buy 27 boxes this month = 1215-729=486
Q7. A number when divided by D leaves a remainder of 8 and when divided by 3D leaves a remainder of
21. What is the remainder left, when twice the number is divided by 3D?
a) 13
b) cannot be determined
c) 3
d) 42
let's number is n
so n=Dx+8------->1
n=3Dy+21--------->2
from 1 & 2 D(x-3y)=13
here 13 is prime number so it has factors 1 and 13 only
x-3y must be 1
let x=4 and y=1
then n=60
so 2n is divided that is 120 by 3D that is by 39 we get
the remainder as 3
Q8. A boy wants to make cuboids of dimension 5m, 6m and 7m from small cubes of .03 m3. Later he
realized he can make same cuboids by making it hollow. Then it takes some cubes less. What is the number
of the cubes to be removed?
a) 2000 b) 5000 c) 3000 d) 7000
volume of the cuboid = 5m * 6 m * 7m = 210 m3

small cube volume = 0.03 m3
no. of cubes = 210/.03 = 7000
and to make hollow we have to remove 3m*4m*5m=60m3 volume
then no. of cube= (60/.03)=2000
Q9. a hare & a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter.the tortoise goes in 1 direction &
hare in another.after the tortoise has covered 1/5th of its distance & that is too leisurely.the hare & tortoise
meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 th of the distance.by what factor should the hare increase its speed
so as it to tie the race?
5
8
37.80
40
assume tortoise as T
hare as H
T upon covering 1/5th,H starts running!
after H covered 1/8 that is T covered 7/8 they meet.
let the time when H starts to when he reaches at 1/8th of the total as 't',that is equal to T's covering of (7/8-
1/5)=27/40
T covers 27/40 at 't' time.
then T covers remaining 1/8th in (40/27)t/8 t=5/27t
now in this time H has to reach the finishing point.

initially H goes 1/8th in t
then 7/8 th in 7t.
thus speed should be increased=7t/(5/27)t =37.8 :)

side.find the ratio of the radious of the circle to the side of the square.
(2+7root 2):1
1:(2+7root 2)
1:(2+6root 2)
1:(4+7root 3)
First refer to the diagram in the following link:

http://writer.zoho.com/public/suchandra/ques
1)In the diagram let the radius of each circle be "x"
2)Now the arrangement forms two small squares at the end of the diagonal on both sides as shown. Since radius of
circle is x, we can calculate the diagonal length at these ends which is x√2. Both sides, so total of 2√2x.
3)Now the remaining length of the diagonal is easy. It is 12x.
4)Total length of the diagonal is now 2√2x + 12x
5)we can now get the length of the side of a square =(2√2x + 12x)/√2 = 2x+6√2x -->(side = diagonal/�
Q11. planet fourfi resides in 4 dimensional space & thus the currency
used by its residents are 3 dimensional objects.the rupee are cubical in shape while their coins are
spherical.however the coin minting machinery lays out some stipulations on the size of the coins.
the diameter of the coins should be atleast 64mm & not exceed 512 mm.
given a coin,the diameter of the next larger coin is atleast 50% greater.

Q27. Susan made a block with small cubes of 8 cubic cm volume to make a block ,3 small cubes long, 9
small cubes wide and 5 small cubes deep. She realizes that she has used more small cubes than she really
needed. She realized that she could have glued a fewer number of cubes together to lock like a block with
same dimensions, if it were made hollow. What is the minimum number of cubes that she needs to make the
block?
Answer is 114
Dimensions of big cube = 6 x 18 x 10
dimensions of small cube = 2 x 2 x 2
Dimensions of cube leaving the outer layer of large cube (which forms the outer layer of hollow cube) = 2 x 14 x 6
No. of small cubes for hollow cube = 6*18*10/8 - 2*14*6/8 = 114
ANOTHER WAY: [(3*9*5)-{(3-2)*(9-2)*(5-2)}]

=114.

10 meters per minute. However, the toy train is defective and it now produces only two different tunes at
random. What are the odds that the toy train produces 3 music tunes of the same type (1 in _____ ) ?
(a) 3 (b) 9 (c) 8 (d) 4
the answer seems like 1/8... but it actually is 1/4...
the probability for the first time is 1 as any song can come
probability for second time is 1/2, as first song must repeat...
so, net probability = (1 * (1/2) * (1/2)) = 1/4
the qn can also be considered as how many 3 digit binary numbers are there with the same digits... the answer is
ofcourse 1/4 again (000 and 111, 2 cases out of 8 possible chances)

Q4. Paul the octopus who has been forecasting the outcome of FIFA world cup matches with tremendous
accuracy
has now been invited to predict ICC world cup matches in 2011. We will assume that the world cup
contenders
have been divided into 2 groups of 9 teams each. Each team in a group plays the other teams in the group.

Q1. A garrison of 3300 men has provisions for 32 days when supplied at the rate of 850 g per head. At the
end of 7 days, a reinforcement arrives, and it is found that the provisions can last for 17 days more when
(a) 1700 (b) 1000 (c) 3000 (d) 2700
3300 men -> 32 days -> 850 g/head

After 7 days,
3300 men -> 25 days -> 850 g/head
After reinforcement = 'x' arrives,
(3300+x) men -> 17 days -> 825 g/head
Now, men count is inversely proportional to the days for survival

So,
3300*850 -> 1/25
(3300+x)*825 -> 1/17
Solving the above two we get,
3300 + x = (3300*850*25)/(17*825)
So, x = 5000-3300 = 1700
Q2. Two unemployed young men decided to start a business together. They pooled in their savings, which
came to Rs. 2,000. They were both lucky, their business prospered and they were able to increase their
capital by 50 per cent every three years. How much did they have in all at the end of eighteen years?
(a) Rs. 22,781.25 (b) Rs. 24,150.25 (c) Rs. 28,140.50 (d) Rs. 18,000
answer is (a).
here p=2000,r=50% and time duration is 18/3=6 because money is increasing every three year gence number of
attempt to increase money is 6.
now A=P{(1+r/100)pow(6)}

Q8. 28. Two trains move in the same direction at 50 kmph and 32 kmph respectively. A man in the slower
train observes the 15 seconds elapse before the faster train completely passes by him. What is the length of
faster train?
(a) 100m (b) 75m (c) 120m (d) 50m
Answer : (b) 75m
This is a problem concerned with relative speed.

Since both trains are traveling in the same direction their relative speed becomes (50-32)kmph. = 18kmph = 5m/s.
Now speed * time = length of faster train . So 15s * 5m/s = 75m

so,88.888/3=29.62
therefore 29.62times a size of 3mt3 soil is required
Q6. A person has to make 141 pieces of a long bar. He takes 2 seconds to cut a piece. What is the total
time taken by him in seconds to make 141 pieces?
a)560 b)280 c)112 d)324
280
since we have to make 141 cuts
after 140 cuts the remaining will be the last cut
so 140 * 2 = 280 seconds required

Q8. There are two statements. There is also a question. Choose 1 if the question can be answered by using
either one. Choose 2 if the question can be answered using both the statements. Choose 3 if the question can
not be answered using these two statements
Statement1: Avinash spends 30% on house rent, 20% on childrenâ€™s education,40% on foods
Statement 2: Pritam spends 20% on house rent, 45% on childrenâ€™s education,20% on food
Question: If pritam spends more than avinash on foods who spends more on childrenâ€™s education?
The question can be answered by
a) 1 b) 2 c)3
ans)b.
In the question it is given that pritam spends more than avinash on foods.
if we see % wise pritam spends 20% on foods but avinash spends 40% on foods.
This implies pritam's 20% is more than avinash's 40%--------------(1)
On Children's education:
pritam spends 45% on Children's education while avinash spends 20% on Children's education.
if pritam's 20% is more than avinash's 40% then
pritam's 45% is more than avinash's 20%
Therefore,pritam spends more than avinash on Children's education.
Hence Qn. can be answered by using both.

ans)b.

Q13. 11) A sheet of paper has statements numbered from 1 to 30. For all values of n from 1 to 30,
statement n says "At most n of the statements on this sheet are false". Which statements are true and which
are false?
a) All statements are false.

b) All statements are true.
c) The even numbered statements are true and the odd numbered are false.
d) The odd numbered statements are true and the even numbered are false.
ANS:a) because consider 1st and 2nd statements

In 1st statement it is said that atmost one statement is false(that means only one statement or less is false but not
more). But, immediately
in 2nd statement it is said that "at most" two statements are false(that means two statements or less are false but
not more). The 2nd statement itself is deviating from first one. so, first one is false,this continues till last statement.
So, answer is option a)
Q15. 3) A hollow cube of size 5 cm is taken, with a thickness of 1 cm. It is made of smaller cubes of size 1

Q16. On the planet Oz, there are 8 days in a week- Sunday to Saturday and another day called Oz day.
There are 36 hours in a day and each hour has 90 min while each minute has 60 sec. As on earth, the hour
hand covers the dial twice every day.
1) Find the approximate angle between the hands of a clock on Oz when the time is 12:40 am.
a) 71 b) 251 c) 111 d) 89
Ans)89 because
for hour hand:-
In one hour it rotates 360/18="20 degrees"(As, there are 36/2 divisions in planet Oz clock)
In one minute it rotates 20/90="2/9 degrees"(As, there are 90 minutes for one hour)
For minutes hand,
In one minute it rotates "360 degrees"(Because it completes one revolution)
In one hour it rotates 360/90="4 degrees"(As, there are 18*5 sub-divisions on Oz clock)
So, we can derive a formula:
(20*hours)-(34/9*minutes) /*[34/9 is 4-(2/9)]*
substitute the values and u get answer as 89 degrees approximately
Q17. Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game.Given the expression
N=26+X(Y-Z)
Where X,Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9).Alok would like to maximize N,while Bhanu
would like to minimize it . Towards this end,alok chooses a single digit number and bhanu substitutes this for
a variable of her choice (X,Y and Z).Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute
the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable.Assuming both play to their optimal
a)-55
b)107
c)44
d)26
answer is 26.
first see the equation carefully there is z term that has -ve sign.
now for every optimal value of alok bhanu will replace it by z.now suppose alok choose 9 then bhanu will replace
z.now alok choose 9 then bhanu wil replace y and answer is 26.
now think alok choose 0 then bhanu will replace it by x answer is 26.
hence for every largest value 9 answer is 26 that is alok's optimal play.
and for every min value 0 answer is again 26 that is bhanu's optimal play.
now we can try all other numbers that will be less than 26.
hence answer is 26.

Q28. 1. Susan made a block with small cubes of 8 cubic cm volume to make a block ,3 small cubes long, 9
small cubes wide and 5 small cubes deep. She realizes that she has used more small cubes than she really
needed. She realized that she could have glued a fewer number of cubes together to lock like a block with
same dimensions, if it were made hollow. What is the minimum number of cubes that she needs to make the
block?
a) 114 b) 135 c) 21 d) 71
Answer is 114
Dimensions of big cube = 6 x 18 x 10
dimensions of small cube = 2 x 2 x 2
Dimensions of cube leaving the outer layer of large cube (which forms the outer layer of hollow cube) = 2 x 14 x 6
No. of small cubes for hollow cube = 6*18*10/8 - 2*14*6/8 = 114

Q6. Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One
of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by
repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.
Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the
top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an
i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player
can make a 2-move.
If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game.
Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then
Alice has no winning strategy.
In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.
In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move.
In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move.
in order to alice first move should be 1-move
Q7. . Anoop managed to draw 7 circles of equal radii with their centres on the diagonal of a square such
that the two extreme circles touch two sides of the square and each middle circle touches two circles on
either side. Find the ratio of the radius of the circles to the side of the square
Q8. The pacelength P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints. For men, the formula,
n/P = 144 gives an approximate relationship between n and P where, n = number of steps per minute and P
= pacelength in meters. Bernard knows his pacelength is 164cm. The formula applies to Bernard's walking.
Calculate Bernard's walking speed in kmph.
n/1.64 = 144
n = (144 * 1.64) = 236.16
No. of steps per minute = 236.16

Distance per minute = (236.16 * 164) cm
Distance per minute = 0.3873024 km
Distance per hour = 23.238144
Speed = 23.238144 km/h
Q12. Peter and paul are 2 friends.Sum of their ages is 35 years.Peter is twice as old as paul was when
peter was as old as paul is now.What is the present age of peter?
upposing Peter’s age is e and Paul’s age is a
We have a + e = 35………………….. (1)
Now when Peter was Paul’s age which means (e - a) years ago
Peter would have been e - (e - a) = a which is Paul’s age now
Paul would have been a - (e - a) = 2a - e
We have been given that Peter’s age is twice what Pauls was,
so e = 2(2a - e) = 4a - 2e which gives 3e = 4a………………….. (2)
For ease of use if a + e = 35; then 3a + 3e = 105 = 3a + 4a from (2) above
Thus 7a = 105
a = 15; e = 20
So Peter is 20 years and Paul is 15 years. The sum is 35 years and when Peter was 15
N=9+X+Y-Z
Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu
the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable.
Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be
27
0.0
20
18
First alok chooses 9 and bhanu plcaes it in Z.

Now the equatin becomes N=X+Y.
So the maximum value that alok can get is
N=9+9 i.e N=18.

Q22. 10 suspects are rounded by the police and questioned about a bank robbery. Only one of them is
guilty.
The suspects are made to stand in a line and each person declares that the person next to him on his right is
guilty. The right most person is not questioned. Which of the following possibilities are true?
A. All suspects are lying or the leftmost suspect is innocent.

B. All suspects are lying and the leftmost suspect is innocent .
Neither A nor B
Both A and B
B only
A only
Ans: A only
If all suspects are lying then left most is guilty. becuse every one said the the person right to them is guilty.Only the
left most person is not mentioned.so he might be guilty.
Or if any one's statement is true then definitely the leftmost is innocent.because he is not mentioned guilty by
anyone.
so only one is possible at a time. they are connected with or compound statement. So A only true. In B they used
and keyword. both condition cannot occur at a time . So b is not true
