Q: Choose the correct option.
The dimensions of a certain machine are 48" X 30" X 52". If the size of the machine is increased proportionately until the sum of its dimensions equals 156", what will be the increase in the shortest side?
A. 10" 18%
B.  8" 21%
C. 6" 45%
D. 8.5" 17%
Solution: 48+30+52=130, then 156-130=26

the "proportionately" in the shortest side means 30/130*26=6"
Q: 
Choose the correct option.
A tape manufacturer reduces the price of his heavy duty tape from Rs.30/- to Rs.28/- a reel and the price of a regular tape from Rs.24/- to Rs.23/- a reel. A computing center normally spends Rs.1440/- a month for tapes and 3/4 of this is for heavy duty tapes. How much will they save a month under the new prices?
A. 87 42%
B. 140 19%
C. 122 30%
D. 72 9%
Solution: Hd tape = (3/4)*1440 = 1080
Hd tape + Reg tape = 1440
(3/4)*1440 + Reg tape = 1440
SO, Reg tape = 360
HD tape = 1080
no. of reg tape = 360/24 = 15
no. of HD tape = 1080/30 = 36
For new price, Hd tape savings = (30-28) = 2
Reg tape savings = 24-23 = 1
Total savings = (36*2)+(15*1) = 87
Q: Choose the correct option.
If I walk with 30 miles/hr i reach 1 hour before and if i walk with 20 miles/hr i reach 1 hour late. Find the distance between 2 points and the exact time of reaching destination is 11 am then find the speed with which it walks.
A. 125 miles and 24 miles/hr 15%
B. 120 miles and 30 miles/hr 22%
C. 120 miles and 20 miles/hr 18%
D. 120 miles and 24 miles/hr 44%
Solution: the exact time is 11 am
then 30miles/ph reach it on 10am
20 miles/ph reach it on 12am
if they start walking in 6am
then 30m/ph-(10am-6am) 4h*30=120miles
20m/ph-(12am-6am) 6h*20=120miles
