larger than x.

-----------------------------------------------------Two budding MBAs who are also mathematicians, Srikar and arbit_rageur, play a game. The
computer selects some secret positive integer N < 60 (both Srikar and arbit_rageur know that , but
that they don't know what the value of N is). The computer tells Srikar the unit digit of N, and it tells
arbit_rageur the number of divisors of N. Then, Srikar and arbit_rageur have the following dialogue:
Srikar: I don't know what N is, and I'm sure that you don't know either. However, I know that N is
divisible by at least two different primes.
arbit_rageur: Oh, then I know what the value of N is.
Srikar: Now I also know what N is.
Assuming that both Srikar and arbit_rageur speak truthfully and to the best of their knowledge, how
many possible values of N are there?

Two vessels A and B having different capacities are partly filled with spirit of different
concentrations. If the content of A is poured into vessel B till it is full, then the % concentration of B
increases by 5%. Is the difference in concentrations of spirits in containers more than 5%?
(X) initial level of spirit B is greater than that in A
(Y) If the content of B is poured into vessel A till it is full, then the % concentration of A decreases by
10%

escape running at 7m/s in a direction 30 degrees east of north. The PaGal an expert in geometry runs
at
13m/s in a suitable straight line path that will intercept the CAT as quickly as possible.
Then which among is following is true?
(1) It takes 15/2 seconds for the PaGaL to catch CAT
(2) If CAT chooses a different direction to escape, irrespective of the direction, all interception
points lie on a circle.

A shokeeper sells 2 different brands of an article, one for Rs 10 and other for Rs 12 each. One day he
left the shop in the hands of his management graduate son who confused the two brands and sold
them at each other's price. Due to this, the shopkeeper lost Rs 40 which amounted to 10% fall in his
expected profit. If shopkeeper's expected profit was one among 10%, 15%, 20%, or 25% then
(1) the number of cheaper brand sold at higher cost was 60
(2) the expected profit was 20%
(3) if the profit per article of expensive brand is 40 paise more than that of cheaper brand => the least
number of articles of expensive brand he had to sell to recover his loss would be 34
(4) at least two of the foregoing
