What is the probability of rolling five six-sided dice, and getting a different number on each die? Select the correct option
A) 1/12  B) 1/3  C) 4/9  D) 5/54  E) 7/18

Solution: MAGOOSHOFFICIAL SOLUTION   For the first die, we can roll any one of six numbers. For the second die, we can roll any number save for the number we rolled on the first die, giving us 5 possibilities. For the third die, we can roll four different numbers (we can’t roll the number we rolled on the first or second die.   6 x 5 x 4x3x2 = 720 possibilities out of 216 total possibilities. (For total possibilities we get 6 x 6 x 6x6x6 = 6^5).   720/6^5 =5/54   Answer: 5/54.
Answer: D
Mary's income is 60% more Than Tim's income and Tim's income is 20% less than Juan's income.What % of Juan's income is Mary's income.  Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 128%
B) B.120%
C) 96%
D) 80%
E) 64%

Solution: Even I got 96%   J = 100   T = 100*0.8= 
100*0.8 = 80
80   M= 80*1.6= 
80*1.6 = 128
128   If Mary's income is x percent of J   M= J*x/100   x = M*100/J = 128*100/100= 
128*100/100 = 128

A bag of P peanuts can be divided into 9 smaller bags with 6 peanuts left over. Another bag of M peanuts can be divided into 12 smaller bags with 4 peanuts left over. Which of the following is the remainder when PM is divided by 18? Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 4
B) 6
C) 3
D) 2
E) 1

Solution: P = 9x + 6   M = 12y + 4   PM = (9x + 6)*(12y + 4) = 108xy + 36x + 72y + 24   Remainder of nm/18 = (108xy + 36x + 72y + 24)/18   Observe that the first three terms are a multiple of 18   24 when divided by 18 leaves remainder 6   Hence mn/18 will leave remainder 6   Correct Option: 6

There are 2 available positions and 50 candidates, one half of whom are democrats and another half are republicans. If it was decided that the positions would be filled at random, then what is the probability R that the both positions will be taken by members of just one party?  Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 1/25	B) 12/49	C) 1/4	D) 24/49	E) 1/2

Solution: R probability of one party having both spots:   (1/2) * (24/49) = 12/49   (1/2) or (25/50) because it does not matter which party or which person gets the first spot. (24/49) because after one person from a particular party is chosen, there are 24 members of the same party left out of 49 total candidates.   Since this result can happen for both parties, (12/49) + (12/49) = (24/49)   Answer: 24/49

If an integer n is to be selected at random from 1 to 100, inclusive, what is probability n(n+1) will be divisible by 16? Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 1/4  B) 1/8  C) 1/2  D) 2/3  E) 3/4

Solution: because n(n+1) is always an even product of even*odd or odd*even factors,   there is a probability of 1 that that it will be divisible by 2,   and, thus, a probability of 1/2 that it will be divisible by 4   and, thus, a probability of 1/4 that it will be divisible by 8   and, thus, a probability of 1/8 that it will be divisible by 16   1*1/8=1/8   Answer : 1/8

If A=x^4 + y^4 = 100, then the greatest possible value of x is between
Select:
A) 0 and 3	B) 3 and 6	C) 6 and 9	D) 9 and 12	E) 12 and 15

Solution: My attempt:   If A=x^4+y^4=100, then the greatest possible value of x would be when y is minimum.   Let y^4 be 0. Now x^4 = 100. x should be definitely greater than 3 but less than 4. The only option that fits this range is 3 and 6   Hence answer is --   b) 3 and 6.

What is the 4 digit number in which the 1st digit is 1/3 of the second, the 3rd is the sum of the 1st and 2nd, and the last is three times the second?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 1243	B) 1345	C) 1349	D) 1456	E) 2467

Solution: First digit is 1/3 second digit => The numbers can be 1 & 3, 2& 6, 3 & 9.   First + second = third => we can eliminate 3 & 9 since  3 + 9= 
 3 + 9 = 12
12.   Last is 3 times the second=> we can eliminate option 2 & 6 since  3 * 6= 
 3 * 6 = 18

Lionel left his house and walked towards Walt's house, 48 miles away. Four hours later, Walt left his house and ran towards Lionel's house. If Lionel's speed was 2 miles per hour and Walt's 6 miles per hour, how many miles had Lionel walked when he met Walt?
Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 12	B) 18	C) 20	D) 24	E) 28

Solution: In the first 4 hours Lionel at the rate of 2 miles per hour covered distance=rate*time=4*2= 
4*2 = 8
8 miles. So, the distance between him and Walt was 48-8= 
48-8 = 40
40 miles when Walt left his house. Now, their combined rate to cover this distance was 2+6= 
2+6 = 8
8 miles per hour, hence they will meet (they will cover that distance) in time=distance/rate=40/8= 
40/8 = 5
5 hours. Total time that Lionel was walking is 4+5= 
4+5 = 9
9 hours, which means that he covered in that time interval distance=rate*time=2*9= 
2*9 = 18
18 miles.   Answer: 18.

A) 5
B) 5(x-y)
C) 20x
D) 20y
E) 35x

Solution: We are looking for a choice that CANNOT be the greatest common divisor of 45x and 20y ...which means 45x and 20y when divided by the answer choice the quotient should not be a integer.   lets check   a. 5 45x/5 = 9x and 20y/5 = 4y both are integers so eliminate   b. 5(x-y) when x 20 /5= 
20 /5 = 4
4y both are integers so eliminate   b. 5(x-y) when x= 2 and y = 1 it could be be the greatest common divisor ..so eliminate   c. 20x when x = 1 its 20 and 20 cannot be the greatest common divisor of 435x and 20y ...   or 45x/20x = 9/4 which is not a integer.   so answer is 20x.

A) 0	B) 50	C) 450	D) 693	E) 500

Solution: We can break this problem into two parts:   1) What is 1/10 percent of 7,000?   2) What is 1/10 of 7,000?   To calculate 1/10 percent of 7,000 we must first remember to DIVIDE 1/10 BY 100.   So we have: (1/10)/(100)   To divide a number by 100 means to multiply it by 1/100, so we have:   1/10 x 1/100 = 1/1,000   Thus, 1/10 percent of 7,000 = 1/1,000 x 7,000 = 7.   Now let's concentrate on part 2. We need to calculate 1/10 of 7,000. To do this we simply multiply 1/10 by 7,000.   1/10 x 7,000 = 700   The answer to part 1 is 7, and the answer to part 2 is 700. Their difference is 700 – 7 = 693.   Answer 693.

Solution: Value ismore than 2.5SDfrom the mean means that the distance between the mean and the value must be more than 2.5*SD=7.5. So the value must be either less than 24-7.5= 
24-7.5 = 16.5
16.5or more than 24+7.5=31.5.   Answer: 17.0.

The speed at which a girl can row a boat in still water is 75 kmph. If he rows downstream, where the speed of current is 15 kmph, what time will he take to cover 300 metres?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:  A) 16  B) 17  C) 18  D) 19  E) 20

Solution: Speed of the boat downstream = 75 + 15= 
75 + 15 = 90
90 kmph= 90 * 5/18= 
90 * 5/18 = 25
25 m/s   Hence time taken to cover 400 m= 400/25= 
400/25 = 16

Two trains of equal length, running with the speeds of 60 and 40 kmph, take 50 seconds to cross each other while they are running in the same direction. What time will they take to cross each other if they are running in opposite directions?  Choose the most appropriate option:  A) 10 sec  B) 17 sec  C) 99 sec  D) 90 sec  E) 12 sec

Solution: RS = 60 -40= 
60 -40 = 20
20 * 5/18= 100/18   T = 50   D = 50 * 100/18 = 2500/9   RS = 60 + 40= 
60 + 40 = 100
100 * 5/18   T= 2500/9 * 18/500= 
2500/9 * 18/500 = 10

One side of a rectangular field is 13 m and one of its diagonal is 17 m. Find the area of the field.  Choose the correct option.
A) 100 B) 141.7 C) 150 D) 180 E) None

Solution: Solution   Other side = √(17)2 - (13)2   = √289 - 169= 
289 - 169 = 120
√120= 10.9 m.   ∴ Area = (13 x 10.9)m2 = 141.7 m2.   Answer 141.7
