A car drove from Town A to Town B without stopping. The car traveled the first 80 miles of its journey at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. What was the car’s average speed, in miles per hour, for the remaining 80 miles if the car’s average speed for the entire trip was 40 miles per hour?	Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 28	B) 48	C) 50	D) 55	E) 100

Solution: KAPLANOFFICIAL SOLUTION:   To solve this problem, you must remember that average speed means total distance divided by total time over an entire journey. This should not be confused with the average of the speeds. The total distance in this problem is 160 miles, but we will need to express the total time in a more complex way.   For the first 80 miles, the car traveled at 25 miles per hour. Therefore, we can say that the time this took was 80/25, because distance divided by rate equals time.   For the last 80 miles, we are trying to solve for the rate, so we can call this speed R. Thus, the time for the final 80 miles is 80/R.   If we put all of this together, knowing that the average speed over the entire journey is 40 miles per hour, we get the equation 160/(80/25 + 80/R) = 40. We can now solve for R and reach our answer.   160/(80/25 + 80/R) = 40   R = 100   100 is choice (100) and that’s our correct answer.

Options:  A) 56*40*50  B) 56*40*40  C) 56*40*30  D) 56*40*20  E) 56*40*60

Solution: Given dimensions of a machine are 48*32*52   if the size is raised proportionally untill the sum of dimensions   sum of given dimensions is   48+32+52= 
  48+32+52 = 132
132   difference of actual and increased=156-132= 
156-132 = 24
24   24/3= 
24/3 = 8
8   this means each dimension has to raise for 8 units   thus the new dimensions are 56*40*60   ANSW56*40*60R:56*40*60

Bob finishes the first half of an exam in one-thirds the time it takes him to finish the second half. If the whole exam takes him an hour, how many minutes does he spend on the first half of the exam?  Choices
A) 20  B) 24  C) 27  D) 30  E) 40

Solution: Many times, it is easiest to think of problems like this conceptually (as opposed to formulaically). Conceptually, if the first half of the exam takes 1/3's the time of the second half (3/3's), we can see that the hour the entire exam took to finish can be broken down into fifth's. (Another way to look at this problem is via ratio's - first half is 1:5 and the second half is 3:5). With each fifth of an hour being 15 minutes (60/4), the first half of the exam would have taken 30 minutes. Correct answer is 30.

Working together, Tim and Tom can type 12 pages in one hour. If they would be able to type 14 pages in one hour if Tom increases his typing speed by 25%, what is the ratio of Tom's normal typing speed to that of Tim?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 2/1	B) 1/2	C) 1/3	D) 4/1	E) 1/4

Solution: Lets say Tim types x pages an hour and Tom types y pages an hour.   We know that x+y=12   Tom increase speed by 25% means he will type 1.25y pages an hour.   So we get x+1.25y=14   We need to know the ratio of Tom's speed to Tim's speed. This is going to be proportional to the number of pages each can type in an hour, hence (y/x).   Subtracting both : 0.25y=2 so y=8 ... so x=4   (y/x)=8/4= 
8/4 = 2

Of the science books in a certain supply room, 30 are on botany, 37 are on zoology, 90 are on physics, 50 are on geology, and 110 are on chemistry. If science books are removed randomly from the supply room, how many must be removed to ensure that 80 of the books removed are on the same area science?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 81 B) 121 C) 164 D) 225 E) 276

Solution: The worst case scenario is to remove all the books on botany, zoology, and geology.   Also we can remove 79 books each from physics and chemistry.   The total is  30 + 37 + 50 + 79 + 79= 
 30 + 37 + 50 + 79 + 79 = 275
275.   The next book removed must either be physics or chemistry, ensuring 80 books in that subject.   The answer is 276.

A box contains 4 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If two marbles are picked at random, what is the probability that they are either blue or red?
Select the correct option:  A) 8/10  B) 5/10  C) 9/10  D) 6/10  E) 7/10

Solution: Given that there are 4 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. Probability that both marbles are blue = 4Câ‚‚/Â¹âµCâ‚‚ = (3 * 2)/(15 * 14) = 2/35   Probability that both are red = 3Câ‚‚/Â¹âµCâ‚‚ = (1)/(15 * 14) = 1/35   Probability that one blue and other is red = (4Câ‚ * 3Câ‚)/Â¹âµCâ‚‚ = (4*2)/(15 * 14) = 4/35   Required probability = 2/35 + 1/35+ 4/35   = 7/10   Answer:7/10

A shop owner sells 50mtr of cloth and gains SP of 10 mtrs. Find the gain %? Pick one.
A) 25% B) 40% C) 50% D) 60% E) 70%

Solution: Here, selling price of 10 m cloth is obtained as profit.   Profit of 10 m cloth = (S.P. of 50 m cloth) – (C.P. of 50 m cloth)   Selling price of 40 m cloth = Selling Price of 50 m of cloth   Let cost of each metre be Rs. 100.   Therefore, cost price of 40 m cloth = Rs. 4000 and S.P. of 40 m cloth = Rs. Rs. 5000   Profit% = 10/40 × 100 = 25%   Profit of 25% was made by the merchant.   25%
