List L: ABC, BCA, CAB
In list L above, there are 3 positive integers, where each of A, B, and C is a different nonzero digit. Which of the following is the sum of all the positive integers that MUST be factors of the sum of the integers in list L? Choose the correct choice:
A) 47	B) 114	C) 152	D) 161	E) 488

Solution: Sum = (100A + 10B + C) + (100B + 10C + A) + (100C + 10A + B) = 111*(A + B + C).   So, we have that the sum will be a multiple of 111=3*37.   As for A + B + C: if A=1, B=2 and C=4, then A + B + C = 7, so the sum will also be divisible by 7 BUT if A=1, B=2 and C=8, then A + B + C = 11, so the sum will also be divisible by 11. This implies that A + B + C will not produce the same factors for all possible values of A, B and C.   Therefore, we can say that 111*(A + B + C) MUST be divisible only by 111 --> so, by 1, 3, 37, and 111 --> 1 + 3 + 37 + 111 = 152.   Answer: 152.

Baseball's World Series matches 2 teams against each other in a best-of-seven series. The first team to win four games wins the series and no subsequent games are played. If you have no special information about either of the teams, what is the probability E that the World Series will consist of fewer than 7 games?
Select the correct option
A) 12.5% B) 25% C) 31.25% D) 68.75% E) 75%

Solution: Your explanation is very close toManhattan GMAT's official answer - it's quite uncanny:   "There are many other ways this could happen. Using the permutation formula, there are 6!/(3!)(3!) = 20 ways for the two teams to split the first 6 games (3 wins for each).   There are then 2 possible outcomes to break the tie in Game 7. Thus, there are a total of 202 = 40 ways for the World Series to last the full 7 games.   The probability that any one of these 40 ways occurs can be calculated from the fact that the probability of a team winning a game equals the probability of a team losing a game = 1/2.   Given that 7 distinct events must happen in any 7 game series, and that each of these events has a probability of 1/2, the probability that any one particular 7 game series occurs is.   Since there are 40 possible different 7 game series, the probability that the World Series will last exactly 7 games is: (1/2)^7 = 1/128   40*1/128 = 40/128 = 31.25%   Thus the probability E that the World Series will last less than 7 games is 100% - 31.25% = 68.75%.   The correct answer is 68.75%." 100  - 31.25= 
 100  - 31.25 = 68.75
68.75%.   The correct answer is 68.75%."

Answer: D
A list of numbers has six positive integers. Three of those integers are known: 4, 5 and 24 and three of those are unknown: x, y and z. The three unknowns are known to be distinct. It is also known that the mean of the list is 10 and the median lies between 7 and 8 (exclusive). Which of the following CANNOT be the value of any one of the unknowns? Choices:
A) 13  B) 12  C) 11  D) 10  E) 5

Solution: Mean = 10   Therefore sum of the 6 digits = 6*10= 
6*10 = 60
60 -------- (1)   The 3 digits are 4,5 & 24 -------------- (2)   Now, 7 < median < 8   -> 7 < (sum of 2 digits)/2 < 8   -> 14 < (sum of 2 digits) < 16   Therefore the sum of 2 digits= 15.   The 2 digits whose sum is 15 & whose median is b/w 7 & 8 can be :   1. 7, 8,   2. 6, 9,   3. 5, 10, or   But as soon as we take 4, 11 -> the series becomes 4,4,5,11,12,24 &   11 pairs up with 5 to give median as 8.   Hence the number can't be 11 !!   Answer : 11

A survey was conducted to find out how many people in a housing colony of 144 residents could swim, dance and drive a car. It was found that the number of people who could not swim was 85, the number of people who could not dance was 100 and that the number of people who could not drive a car was 91. If the number of people who could do at least two of these things, was found to be 37 and the number of people who could do all these things was found to be 6, how many people could not do any of these things?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 28  B) 31  C) 33  D) 35  E) 37

Solution: T=n(A)+n(31)+n(C)-n(Exactly two of the events)-2*n(All 3 Events)+n(None of the events)   T=144   n(A)=T-n(A')=144-85= 
144-85 = 59
59   n(31)=T-n(31')=144-100= 
144-100 = 44
44   n(C)=T-n(C')=144-91= 
144-91 = 53
53   n(Exactly two of the events)=n(At least 2 Events)-n(All 3 Events)=37-6= 
37-6 = 31
31   n(All 3 Events)=6   144=59+44+53-31-2*6+n(None of the events)   n(None of the events)=144-55-44-53+31+12=31   Ans:31
