"Tim’s commute never bothered him because there were always seats available on the train and he was able to spend his 40 minutes comfortably reading the newspaper or catching up on paperwork. Ever since the train schedule changed, the train has been extremely crowded, and by the time the doors open at his station, there isn’t a seat to be found."

The passage tells us that Tim’s commute didn’t bother him because he was always able to sit down and comfortably read or do paperwork.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Tim’s commute has become less comfortable since the schedule change, because it is very crowded and he can no longer find a seat.
There is no information given that supports choices A, C, and D. -
"When they heard news of the hurricane, Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans. Instead of traveling to the island beach resort, they booked a room at a fancy new spa in the mountains.

The first sentence makes this statement true. There is no support for choice A.
The passage tells us that the spa vacation is more expensive than the island beach resort vacation, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the spa is overpriced; therefore, choice B cannot be supported.
And even though the paragraph says that the couple was relieved to find a room on short notice, there is no information to support choice C, which says that it is usually necessary to book at the spa at least six months in advance. -

The speed of a boat in still water is 5km/hr. If the speed of the boat against the stream is 3 km/hr, what is the speed of the stream?
A. 1.5 km/hr
B. 2 km/hr
C. 2.5 km/hr
D. 1 km/hr
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the speed of stream = X km/hr
Speed of boat = 5 km/hr
Speed upstream = 3km/hr
Apply formula: Speed upstream = speed of boat – speed of stream
∴ 3 = 5 – X
X = 5 – 3 = 2 km/hr. -
Two ships are sailing in the sea on the two sides of a lighthouse. The angles of elevation of the top of the lighthouse observed from the ships are 30° and 45° respectively. If the lighthouse is 100m high, find the distance between the two ships.
A. 155.80 m
B. 157.80 m
C. 159. 80 m
D. 161.80 m
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let AB be the height of the lighthouse and C and D be the positions of the ships.
AB = 100 meters, ∠ACB = 45°, ∠ADB = 60°
AB/AC = tan 45 = 1
AB/AC =1, therefore AB=AC = 100 m.
AB/AD = tan 60 = root 3
100/AD = root 3
AD = 100/ root 3.
Distance between ships, CD = AC + AD
= 100 + 100/root 3 = 157.80 m. -

A. 112
B. 116
C. 115
D. 120

Suresh bought a cell phone from a shop. If he sells it at Rs. 8400 to Mahesh and earns a profit of 12%, find the price at which Suresh bought the cell phone.
A. Rs.7100
B. Rs.7250
C. Rs.7350
D. Rs.7500
Answer: Option (D)
Explanation:
S.P of the cell phone = Rs. 8400
C.P. of the cell phone =?
Profit earned = 12 %

Therefore, C.P. =(100/112)∗8400= 7500 -
By selling a property for Rs 45000 a person incurs a loss of 10%. Find the selling price to gain a profit of 15 %?
A. 55000
B. 60000
C. 57500
D. 58000
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
S.P = 45000
Loss% = 10%
Apply formula:
C.P = (100)/ (100- L %)) S.P
C.P = (100/ (100-10)) 45000
C.P= (100/90) 45000
C.P = 50000
Now, to gain the profit of 15%:
Apply formula:
S.P = ((100+P %) /100) C.P
S.P = ((100+15)/100) 50000
S.P = (115/100) 50000
S.P = 57500 -

The marked price of a radio is Rs 480. The owner allows a discount of 10% and still earns a profit of 8%. If no discount is allowed, find his gain percent?
A. 25%
B. 12%
C. 15%
D. 20%
Answer:Option D
Explanation:
Marked price= 480
The shopkeeper allows a discount of 10%, so, the Selling price will be= 480 90/100 = 432.
And the profit is 8%.
Apply formula:
C.P = (100/ (100 + p %)) S.P
C.P = (100/108) 432
C.P = 400
If the discount is not allowed:
Let Profit= P%
S.P = Marked price = 480, and C.P = 400
Profit = S.P – C.P
Now, apply formula:
P% = (Profit/C.P) 100
So, gain % = ((480-400)/ 400) * 100
= 80/4 = 20%. -

= 23.07 = 23% profit
Therefore, the gain percentage is 23%. -

∴ In a day or 24 hours, the hands of a clock will coincide for 22 (11+11) times. -
If a: b is 3: 4 and b: c is 2: 5. Find a: b: c.
A. 3: 2: 5
B. 3: 6: 5
C. 3: 4:10
D. 2: 3: 4
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The ratio of a: b is 3: 4
The ratio of b: c is 2: 5
Note: To find the ratio in such questions, multiply a to b, then b to b, and then b to c.
a: b: c = 3 2: 4 2: 4 * 5
a: b: c = 6: 8: 20
So, a: b: c = 3: 4: 10 -
The ratio of the total amount distributed in all the males and females as salary is 6: 5. The ratio of the salary of each male and female is 2: 3. Find the ratio of the no. of males and females.
A. 5:9
B. 5:7
C. 7:5
D. 9:5
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The total salary of males: the total salary of females = 6:5
The salary of each male: salary of each female = 2:3
To find the number of men and women, divide the total salary of males and females by the salary of each male and female.
i.e., 6/2: 5/3
Or, 18: 10 = 9: 5
So, the ratio of the number of males and females = 9:5 -

A. 100 meters
B. 150 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 250 meters
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Speed in m/sec = 60 (5/18) = 50/3 m/sec
Time taken to cross the man = 6 secs
Therefore, Distance = (50/3) 6 = 100 meters (i.e. the length of the train).
