In a certain country, the sum of the first 100 positive integers is equal to the sum of the first 100 even integers. What is the sum of the first 100 odd integers?

  1. 10000

  2. 10100

  3. 10200

  4. 10300


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The sum of the first 100 positive integers is (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 100) = (100 * 101) / 2 = 5050. The sum of the first 100 even integers is (2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 200) = (100 * 202) / 2 = 10100. Therefore, the sum of the first 100 odd integers is 10100 - 5050 = 5050.

A regular hexagon has side length 6 cm. What is the area of the hexagon?

  1. 36√3 cm²

  2. 72√3 cm²

  3. 108√3 cm²

  4. 144√3 cm²


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The area of a regular hexagon with side length 'a' is given by (3√3 / 2) * a². Substituting a = 6 cm, we get the area as (3√3 / 2) * 6² = 72√3 cm².

In a group of 10 people, there are 4 men and 6 women. In how many ways can a committee of 3 people be formed if it must include at least 1 man and 1 woman?

  1. 120

  2. 160

  3. 200

  4. 240


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

There are 4 ways to choose 1 man from 4 men, and 6 ways to choose 1 woman from 6 women. To form a committee of 3 people, we can choose the remaining 1 person from either the men or the women. There are 3 men and 5 women left, so there are 3 + 5 = 8 ways to choose the remaining person. Therefore, the total number of ways to form the committee is 4 * 6 * 8 = 200.

What is the value of the expression (2 + 3i)² - (2 - 3i)²?

  1. -16

  2. -12i

  3. 16

  4. 12i


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using the formula (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², we can expand the expression as follows: (2 + 3i)² - (2 - 3i)² = (2² + 2 * 2 * 3i + (3i)²) - (2² - 2 * 2 * 3i + (3i)²) = (4 + 12i + 9i²) - (4 - 12i + 9i²) = 4 + 12i + 9i² - 4 + 12i - 9i² = 16.

A farmer has 120 acres of land. He plants corn on 40% of the land, soybeans on 30% of the land, and wheat on the remaining land. How many acres of land does he plant wheat on?

  1. 36

  2. 48

  3. 54

  4. 60


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The farmer plants corn on 40% of the land, which is 0.4 * 120 = 48 acres. He plants soybeans on 30% of the land, which is 0.3 * 120 = 36 acres. Therefore, he plants wheat on 120 - 48 - 36 = 36 acres.

In a triangle, the ratio of the lengths of two sides is 3:4. If the perimeter of the triangle is 42 cm, what is the length of the third side?

  1. 10 cm

  2. 12 cm

  3. 14 cm

  4. 16 cm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the lengths of the two sides be 3x and 4x. Then, the third side has length 42 - 3x - 4x = 42 - 7x. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 42 cm, we have 3x + 4x + 42 - 7x = 42. Solving for x, we get x = 6. Therefore, the length of the third side is 42 - 7x = 42 - 7 * 6 = 14 cm.

A train leaves a station at 10:00 AM and travels at a speed of 60 mph. Another train leaves the same station at 11:00 AM and travels in the same direction at a speed of 75 mph. At what time will the second train overtake the first train?

  1. 12:00 PM

  2. 12:30 PM

  3. 1:00 PM

  4. 1:30 PM


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The second train travels 75 mph - 60 mph = 15 mph faster than the first train. Therefore, it takes 1 hour for the second train to cover the distance that the first train travels in 1 hour. Since the second train leaves 1 hour after the first train, it will overtake the first train 1 hour after 11:00 AM, which is 1:00 PM.

A rectangular garden has a length of 12 meters and a width of 8 meters. What is the area of the garden in square meters?

  1. 96

  2. 104

  3. 112

  4. 120


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by length * width. Substituting the given values, we get the area as 12 meters * 8 meters = 96 square meters.

A company has 100 employees, of which 60% are men and 40% are women. If 20% of the men and 30% of the women leave the company, what percentage of the remaining employees are women?

  1. 36%

  2. 40%

  3. 44%

  4. 48%


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

There are 60% * 100 = 60 men and 40% * 100 = 40 women in the company. 20% of the men leave, which is 0.2 * 60 = 12 men. 30% of the women leave, which is 0.3 * 40 = 12 women. Therefore, the number of remaining employees is 100 - 12 - 12 = 76. The number of remaining women is 40 - 12 = 28. Therefore, the percentage of remaining employees who are women is (28 / 76) * 100 = 44%.

A circle has a radius of 10 cm. What is the circumference of the circle in centimeters?

  1. 20π

  2. 30π

  3. 40π

  4. 50π


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by 2πr, where r is the radius. Substituting r = 10 cm, we get the circumference as 2π * 10 cm = 20π cm.

A bag contains 10 red balls, 15 blue balls, and 20 green balls. If a ball is randomly selected from the bag, what is the probability that it is a red ball?

  1. 1/5

  2. 2/5

  3. 3/5

  4. 4/5


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

There are a total of 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 balls in the bag. The probability of selecting a red ball is the number of red balls divided by the total number of balls, which is 10 / 45 = 1/5.

A farmer has 100 acres of land. He plants corn on 40% of the land, soybeans on 30% of the land, and wheat on the remaining land. How many acres of land does he plant corn on?

  1. 40

  2. 48

  3. 54

  4. 60


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The farmer plants corn on 40% of the land, which is 0.4 * 100 = 40 acres.

A train leaves a station at 10:00 AM and travels at a speed of 60 mph. Another train leaves the same station at 11:00 AM and travels in the same direction at a speed of 75 mph. How far apart are the two trains at 12:00 PM?

  1. 75 miles

  2. 105 miles

  3. 135 miles

  4. 165 miles


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The first train travels for 2 hours, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, at a speed of 60 mph. Therefore, it travels 2 * 60 = 120 miles. The second train travels for 1 hour, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, at a speed of 75 mph. Therefore, it travels 1 * 75 = 75 miles. The distance between the two trains is 120 miles + 75 miles = 195 miles.

A rectangular garden has a length of 12 meters and a width of 8 meters. What is the perimeter of the garden in meters?

  1. 40

  2. 48

  3. 56

  4. 64


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by 2 * (length + width). Substituting the given values, we get the perimeter as 2 * (12 meters + 8 meters) = 2 * 20 meters = 40 meters.

A company has 100 employees, of which 60% are men and 40% are women. If 20% of the men and 30% of the women leave the company, how many employees remain in the company?

  1. 68

  2. 72

  3. 76

  4. 80


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

There are 60% * 100 = 60 men and 40% * 100 = 40 women in the company. 20% of the men leave, which is 0.2 * 60 = 12 men. 30% of the women leave, which is 0.3 * 40 = 12 women. Therefore, the number of remaining employees is 100 - 12 - 12 = 76.
