Choose the correct choice from the following
A) 12 B) 15 C) 18 D) 20 E) 25

Solution: This is a very specific format that has appeared in a handful of real GMAT questions, and you may wish to learn to recognize it: here we have a *fixed* distance, and we are given the difference between the times and speeds of two things that have traveled that distance. This is one of the very small number of question formats where backsolving is typically easier than solving directly, since the direct approach normally produces a quadratic equation.   Say Team W's speed was s. Then Team W's time is 300/s.   Team A's speed was then s+5, and Team A's time was then 300/(s+5).   We need to find an answer choice for s so that the time of Team A is 3 less than the time of Team W. That is, we need an answer choice so that 300/(s+5) = (300/s) - 3. You can now immediately use number properties to zero in on promising answer choices: the times in these questions will always work out to be integers, and we need to divide 300 by s, and by s+5. So we want an answer choice s which is a factor of 300, and for which s+5 is also a factor of 300. So you can rule out answers A and C immediately, since s+5 won't be a divisor of 300 in those cases (sometimes using number properties you get to the correct answer without doing any other work, but unfortunately that's not the case here). Testing the other answer choices, if you try answer 20, you find the time for Team W is 15 hours, and for Team A is 12 hours, and since these differ by 3, as desired, 20 is correct.

A) 98 days
B) 60 days
C) 56 days
D) 76 days
E) 45 days

Solution: Rate of consumption of each man = 1050/(150 * 30) = 7/30 kg/day   Let us say 70 men take x days to consume 150 kg.   Quantity consumed by each item in x days = (7x/30) kg   Quantity consumed by 70 men in x days = (7/30 x)(70) kg   = (7/30 x) * (70) = 960   x = 60 days.   Answer: 60 days
Answer: B
If e=1 and (e-b)/c = 1 which of the following is NOT a possible value of b?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) -2 B) -1 C) 0 D) 1 E) 2

Solution: Equation is:   (e-b)/c = 1 where e = 1   so plug in 1 for e and look at it again   (1-b)/c = 1   now C can be anything we want, so if b = -2 we can plug it in and make it work   (1-(-2))/c = 1   3/c = 1   c = 3 and it works   HOWEVER, if we have a 0 in the numerator there isn't a number on earth that makes 0/C = 1   (1-1)/c = 1   0/c = 1   there aren't any matches for C to make this true   B cannot be 1.   Answer is 1
