In a particular course, only two grades are given all semester: the midterm exam, which counts for 25% of the semester grade, and the final exam, which counts for the remainder. Lindsey's semester grade was 88%. If the highest possible score on either exam is 100%, what is the lowest possible score P that Lindsey could have received on her midterm exam?	Options:	A) 52%	B) 64%	C) 72%	D) 76%	E) 80%

Solution: If the midterm counts for 25% of the total grade, then the final exam must count for the remaining 75%, meaning that in this weighted average problem the final is weighted 3 times as much as the midterm. Using the weighted average mapping strategy, then, and maximizing her final exam score so that you minimize her midterm score, you have:   100-------------88----------------------------x   And you know that the ratio is 3:1. Since the final exam score of 100 is weighted heavier, then the difference of 12 between 100 and 88 is the1part of the ratio, meaning that 3(12) is the 3 portion. That equals 36, so the midterm score (x) is 36 less than the weighted average of 88. 88 - 36 = 52, sothe correct answer is 52%.

A searchlight on top of the watch-tower makes 1 revolutions per minute. What is the probability that a man appearing near the tower will stay in the dark for at least 20 seconds?	Choose the correct answer
A) 1/4
B) 1/3
C) 1/2
D) 2/3
E) 3/4

Solution: 1 revolutions per minute = 1 revolution every 60 seconds   So no matter what anybody appearing at the tower cannot stay in the dark for more than 60 seconds. This will be our total number of possibilities i.e the denominator.   P(man in dark for at least 20 seconds) = 1 - P (man in dark for max of 20 seconds) = 1 - 20/60 = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3   or the other way would be:   P(man in dark for at least 20 seconds) is like saying he can be in dark for 5,6,7...all the way to 60 seconds because that is the max. In this approach it would be 20/60 seconds = 1/3.   Answer is 1/3

A rectangular floor measures 2 by 3 meters. There are 5 white, 5 black, and 5 red parquet blocks available. Each block measures 1 by 1 meter. In how many different colors r patterns can be floor be parqueted? Choose the correct option.
A) 104
B) 213
C) 3^5
D) 705
E) 726

Solution: Total number of squares we need to fill = 6   Number of colors we have r= 3   Therefore, total number of patterns = 3*3*3*3*3*3= 
3*3*3*3*3*3 = 729
729   However, this is considering that we can have a case in which all tiles are the same color. Since we are given that the quantity of each tile is 5 and the number of tiles required is 6, we know that this case cannot be possible. Therefore we must subtract the cases in which all tiles will be of the same color (3 cases since there are 3 colors).   Thus our answer should be :729 - 3= 
729 - 3 = 726
726   Answer : 726

If a, b, and c are consecutive positive integers and a > b > c, which of the following must be true?
I. c - a = 2
II. abc is an odd integer.
III. (a + b + c)/3 is an integer.  Choose the correct choice
A) I only
B) II only
C) I and III only
D) II and III only
E) I, II, and III

Solution: Since a, b, and c are consecutive positive integers and a < b < c, then c = a + 2, from which it follows that c - a = 2. So, I is true.   Next, out of 3 consecutive integers at least 1 must be even, thus abc=even. II is false.   Finally, since b = a + 1, and c = a + 2, then (a + b + c)/3 = (a + a + 1 + a + 2)/3 = a + 1 = integer. III is true as well.   Answer: I and III only.

A and B walk around a circular track. A and B walk at a speed of 2 rounds per hour and 3 rounds per hour respectively. If they start at 8 a.m. from the same point in opposite directions, how many times shall they cross each other before 9.30 a.m.?	Choose the correct answer.
A) 5  B) 6  C) 7  D) 8  E) 9

Solution: Explanation:   Relative speed = Speed of A + Speed of B (∴ they walk in opposite directions)   =2+3= 
2+3 = 5
5 rounds per hour   Therefore, they cross each other 5 times in 1 hour and 2 times in 12 hour   Time duration from 8 a.m. to 9.30 a.m.=1.5 hour   Hence they cross each other 7 times before 9.30 a.m.   ANSWER IS 7
Answer: C
Sam’s car was fined when he gave Joe and Peter a ride, so they decided to help Sam pay the fine. Joe paid $10 more than 1/4 of the fine and Peter paid $10 less than 1/3 of the fine, leaving pay $25 less than 1/2 the fine to complete the payment. What fraction of the fine did Sam pay? Choose one.
A) $120	B) $125	C) $130	D) $135	E) $140

Solution: Call the fine F. Joe paid (1/4)F + 4 and Peter paid (1/3)F – 4, leaving (1/2)F – 5 left. If we add those three up, they should add up to F.   F = [(1/4)F + 10] + [(1/3)F – 10] + [(1/2)F – 25]   F = (1/4)F + (1/3)F + (1/2)F – 25   Multiply all terms by 12 to clear the fractions.   12F = 3F + 4F + 6F – 300   12F = 13 F – 300   –F = – 300   F = 300   Well, if the fine cost $300, then Sam paid the part not covered by Joe or Peter. Half the fine is $150, and Sam paid $25 less than this: $125   Answer = $125
Answer: B
Mary built a model ship. She spent 10 hours constructing the ship and 5 hours painting it, for what fraction of the total time did she spend painting the ship?  Choose the correct answer: A) 1/3 B) 1/5 C) 1/4 D) 2/3 E) 1/2

Solution: We don't need to get into calculations for solving this question. We can use the concept of weighted averages.   The average time for the entire project is 15 hours; so, she spent a lesser duration of time painting the ship than constructing it.   5---(5---5)   This shows that you can divide the entire project into 3 equal parts. Thus, 1/3 of the journey was spent painting.   1/3nswer: 1/3
Answer: A
A and B participate in a seven-person footrace on the basketball court during All-Star Weekend. If all seven contestants finish (including Charles Barkley) and there are no ties, how many different arrangements of finishes are there in which A defeats B ?  Choose the correct option:
A) 5040
B) 2520
C) 720
D) 120
E) 42

Solution: PRINCETON REVIEW OFFICIAL SOLUTION:   A beats B? Carmelo beats B? No one said anything about specific results, especially not on a question that includes so many people.   Many questions on the GMAT can be overwhelming in appearance so first thing…Relax. This question looks nasty, but it’s pretty straightforward, requiring two things: the basic first calculation and then some additional work to solve the problem. It would be extremely painful to try to calculate this whole question in one fell swoop. So don’t.   Calculate out all possibilities first to get your bearings. That is, how many different arrangements, period? Since the order of arrangement again matters, this is another permutation. And since we’re placing all seven runners, this calculation is…   7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1, cash and prizes worth 5040 arrangements.   Now, what to do? Again, some nice deep breathing to control your nerves – relax and think. These 5040 arrangements are a comprehensive list; every possible seven-person order of finish has been counted. So, we have accounted for every time A beats B AND every time LeBron beats Carmelo. Doesn’t it make sense that, for every time Carmelo beats LeBron, there is exactly one other instance in which LeBron beats Carmelo? Or more simply, doesn’t it make sense that, if these 5040 represents everything, that Carmelo beats LeBron exactly 50% of the time and vice versa?   The thought takes time. You need to have the presence to recognize that grinding your way in, around, and through this question could take roughly forever. Stepping back and recognizing that this is simply a 50/50 proposition and applying that thought to the 5040 you cranked out gives you 2520. The answer is 2520.
