a farmer with 1350 acres of land had planted his fields with corn , sugar cane , and tobacco in the ratio of 5 : 2 : 2 , respectively , but he wanted to make more money , so he shifted the ratio to 2 : 2 : 5 , respectively . how many more acres of land were planted with tobacco under the new system ?
originally ( 2 / 9 ) * 1350 = 300 acres were planted with tobacco . in the new system ( 5 / 9 ) * 1350 = 750 acres were planted with tobacco . thus 750 - 300 = 450 more acres were planted with tobacco . the answer is e .

a train covered half of the distance between stations a and b at the speed of 48 km / hr , but then it had to stop for 15 min . to make up for the delay , it increased its speed by 53 m / sec and it arrived to station b on time . find the distance between the two stations and the speed of the train after the stop .
first let us determine the speed of the train after the stop . the speed was increased by 53 m / sec = 5 β‹… 60 β‹… 6031000 km / hr = 6 km / hr . therefore , the new speed is 48 + 6 = 54 km / hr . if it took x hours to cover the first half of the distance , then it took x βˆ’ 1560 = x βˆ’ 0.25 hr to cover the second part . so the equation is : 48 β‹… x = 54 β‹… ( x βˆ’ 0.25 ) 48 β‹… x = 54 β‹… x βˆ’ 54 β‹… 0.25 48 β‹… x βˆ’ 54 β‹… x = βˆ’ 13.5 βˆ’ 6 x = βˆ’ 13.5 x = 2.25 h . the whole distance is 2 Γ— 48 Γ— 2.25 = 216 km . answer is b .

a 5 digit number divisible by 3 is to be formed using the digits 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 without repetitions . that total no of ways it can be done is ?
first step : we should determine which 5 digits from given 6 , would form the 5 digit number divisible by 3 . we have six digits : 0,1 , 2,3 , 4,5 . their sum = 15 . for a number to be divisible by 3 the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3 . as the sum of the six given numbers is 15 ( divisible by 3 ) only 5 digits good to form our 5 digit number would be 15 - 0 = ( 1 , 2,3 , 4,5 ) and 15 - 3 = ( 0 , 1,2 , 4,5 ) . meaning that no other 5 from given six will total the number divisible by 3 . second step : we have two set of numbers : 1 , 2,3 , 4,5 and 0 , 1,2 , 4,5 . how many 5 digit numbers can be formed using this two sets : 1 , 2,3 , 4,5 - - > 5 ! as any combination of these digits would give us 5 digit number divisible by 3 . 5 ! = 120 . 0 , 1,2 , 4,5 - - > here we can not use 0 as the first digit , otherwise number wo n ' t be any more 5 digit and become 4 digit . so , total combinations 5 ! , minus combinations with 0 as the first digit ( combination of 4 ) 4 ! - - > 5 ! - 4 ! = 96 120 + 96 = 216 answer : c .

solution y is 30 percent liquid x and 70 percent water . if 2 kilograms of water evaporate from 8 kilograms of solutions y and 2 kilograms of solution y are added to the remaining 6 kilograms of liquid , what percent of this new liquid solution is liquid x ?
"at the beginning , you have 8 kg of solution y , i . e . 70 % * 8 kg = 5,6 kg of water 30 % * 8 kg = 2,4 kg of x 2 kg of water evaporate : 5,6 kg - 2 kg = 3,6 kg of water 2,4 kg of x 2 kg of liquid are added : 3,6 kg + 2 * 0,70 = 5 kg of water 2,4 kg + 2 * 0,30 = 3 kg of x so you have 3 kg of x in 8 kg ( 3 + 5 ) solution . therefore x concentration is 3 / 8 = 37,5 % answer : c"

jerome anticipated that the webweb . com stock price would fall and sold all his webweb . com stocks for $ 5 per stock . he paid $ 10000 tax on the revenue . a week later , jerome became convinced that the webweb . com stock price would rise , and he used the money that he had gotten from selling the webweb . com stocks to purchase them again , this time at $ 6 per stock . if jerome ended up having 2000 webweb . com stocks fewer than the number he had before selling them , how many webweb . com stocks did he have originally ?
let the number of shares be x . 5 * x - 10000 ( money paid in taxes ) = 6 ( x - 2000 ) solving for x , we get the shares as 12000 . ans : ( option c )
