The function f is defined for all positive integers n by the following rule: f(n) is the product of the distinct prime factors of n. If f(n) < 70 and n is not prime, what is the greatest possible value of f(n)?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers: A) 68 B) 65 C) 62 D) 60 E) 55

Solution: Since we need the largest value of f (n), we will start with the largest option.   Option A: 68 = 2*2*17. This is not a product of distinct prime numbers. Hence incorrect   Option B: 65 = 5*13. This is a product of distinct prime numbers.   Rest all the options are smaller that 65.   Correct Option: 65

Mary invested a certain sum of money in a bank that paid simple interest. The amount grew to $260 at the end of 2 years. She waited for another 3 years and got a final amount of $350. What was the principal amount that she invested at the beginning?  Choices:
A) $220	B) $230	C) $240	D) $200	E) $250

Solution: What shall be the rate of interest.? Does that is not required for the calculation?   Not really!   Keep in mind that the interest earned each year will be the same in Simple Interest.   At the end of 2 years, Amount = $260   At the end of 5 years, Amount = $350   This means she earned an interest of $90 in 3 years. Or $30 in each year.   We know that the interest earned each year will be the same.   Therefore she must have earned $60 in 2 years.   Hence Principal Amount = $260 - $60 = $200 Option $200260 -  60= 
260 -  60 = 200

Alan buys 4 TVs, a 26 inch, a 28 inch, a 30 inch, and a 32 inch, for his new house. Each TV costs $200 more than the size below it. Alan spends a total of $3,200. How much would he have spent if he had bought only the 28 inch and 30 inch TVs?	Choose the correct answer
A) 850
B) 1,600
C) 1,700
D) 2,550
E) 3,400

Solution: Assume the cost of the least sized (26 Inch) TV = x   Cost of 28 inches TV = x + 200   Cost of 30 inches TV = x + 400   Cost of 32 inches TV = x + 600   Total cost = 4x + 1200 = 3200   Therefore x = 2000/4= 
2000/4 = 500

In a class, there are 27 boys who are over 160 cm tall. If these constitute three-fourths of the boys and the total number of boys is two-thirds of the total number of students in the class, what is the number of girls in the class ? Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 6 B) 12 C) 18 D) 24 E) 26

Solution: Explanation:   Let the number of boys be x. Then, (3/4)x = 27 or x = 27 x(4/3) = 36.   If total number of students is y, then (2/3) y = 36 or y = 36 x (3/2) = 54.   Therefore Number of girls in the class = (54 - 36)= 
(54 - 36) = 18

A can contains a mixture of liquids A and B is the ratio 7:5. When 9 litres of mixture are drawn off and the can is filled with B, the ratio of A and B becomes 7:9. How many liter Q of liquid A was contained by the can initially?
Choose one
A) 10  B) 20  C) 21  D) 25  E) 27

Solution: As A:B::7:5 ---> only option C is a multiple of 7 and hence it is a good place to start. Also A:B::7:5 means that , A = (712)*Total and B = (5/12)*Total   If A = 21 , B = 15 ---> remove 9 litres ---> you remove (7/12)*9 of A ---> A remaining = 21-(7/12)*9 = 63/4   Similarly, for B, you remove (5/12)*9 ---> B remaining = 15 - (5/12)*9 = 45/4 and then add 9 more litres of B ---> 9+45/4 = 81/4   Thus A/B (final ratio) = (45/4)/(81/4) = 7:9 , the same as the final ratio mentioned in the question.   Hence C is the correct answer.   A/B = 7/9 = (7x-(7/12)*9)/ (5x-(5/12)*9+9), where 7x and 5x are initial quantities of A and B respectively.   Thus, 7/9 = (7x-(7/12)*9)/ (5x-(5/12)*9+9) ---> giving you x=3. Thus A (original) Q= 7*3 = 21.21

Rate of interest R = 10%   Time T = 3 years   Accumulated Amount A = Rs.10400/-   A = P + I   A = P + PTR/100   A = P(1+ TR/100)   Rs.10400/- = P [1 + 3*10/100]   Rs.10400/- = P [1/1 + 3/10]   Rs.10400/- = P [10+3/10] = P[13/10]   Rs.10400/- = P * 13/10   ==> P = Rs.104000/13   ==> P = Rs.8000/-   Rs.8000/-
Answer: B
Gasoline varies in cost from $0.97 to $1.17 per gallon. If a car’s mileage varies from 16 to 24 miles per gallon, what is the difference between the most and least that the gasoline for a 480-mile trip will cost?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) $15.07 B) $15.23 C) $15.50 D) $15.70 E) $15.72

Solution: Solution:   We know that the per gallon cost of gasoline varies from $0.97 - $1.17.   Now we want to find the MAXIMUM difference between the least amount of money spent on gasoline and the largest amount of money spent i.e. to calculate max. trip cost - min. trip cost.   Mileage is given to be 16 to 24 miles per gallon, thus to travel 480 miles you will need gasoline in the range 480/24 to 480/16 which is 20 to 30 gallons.   So, for these 20 gallons and 30 gallons of gasoline the cost is as follows: (divide this task into 2 parts, 1 for 30 gallons and 2nd one for 20 gallons).   Case 1: for 30 gallons the cost is 30*0.97 to 30*1.17 which is $29.10 to $35.10   Case 2: for 20 gallons the cost is 20*0.97 to 20*1.17 which is $19.40 to $23.40   Thus, the maximum cost of the 480 mile trip is $35.10 and minimum is $19.40   so the difference is $35.10 - $19.40 = $15.70   Answer: $15.70 35.10 -  19.40= 
 35.10 -  19.40 = 15.7
$15.70   Answer: $15.70

On the independence day, bananas were be equally distributed among the children in a school so that each child would get two bananas. On the particular day 320 children were absent and as a result each child got two extra bananas. Find the actual number of children in the school?
Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 600 B) 640 C) 500 D) 520 E) 720

Solution: Let the number of children in the school be x. Since each child gets 2 bananas, total number of bananas = 2x.   2x/(x - 320) = 2 + 2(extra)   => 2x - 640 = x => x = 640.   ANSWER:640
Answer: B
Ramesh spends 40% of his monthly salary on food, 40% of the remaining on conveyance and clothes and saves 50% of the remaining amount. If his monthly salary is Rs.17,000, how much money does he save every month ?	Choose the correct choice:
A) 3060  B) 2787  C) 2697  D) 2671  E) 1922

Solution: Explanation:   Ramesh's monthly income = Rs.17,000   He spends 40% on food.   The total money spent on food = 40/100 * 17000 = Rs. 6800   Now, his monthly remaining income = Rs.17000 – Rs.6800 = Rs. 10200   Out of Rs. 10200, he spends 40% on conveyance and clothes.   The total money spent on conveyance and clothes = 40/100 * 10200 = Rs. 4080   Now, his monthly remaining income = Rs.10200 – Rs.4080 = Rs. 6120   Out of Rs. 6120, he saves 50%.   Amount saved = 50/100 * 6120 = Rs. 3060   3060NSWER:3060
Answer: A
A set S = {x, -8, -5, -2, 2, 6, 9, y} with elements arranged in increasing order. If the median and the mean of the set are the same, what is the value of |x|-|y|?  Select:
A) 1	B) 0	C) 2	D) -1	E) Cannot be determined

Solution: Median of the set = (-2+2)/2= 
(-2+2)/2 = 0
0   As per statement, Mean of the set= 0   Mean of the set   |y|- |x| +17-15 = 0 (where x is negative n y is positive)   |y|- |x| = -2   So the absolute difference between two numbers is 2   Answer 2
Answer: C
Which of the following must be true?
1) Every prime number greater than 5 can be written as either as 7n+1 or 7n-1
2) Every prime number greater than 5 can be written as 4n+1 or 4n-1
3) Every number greater than 5 of the form 7n+1 or 7n-1 is a prime number. Select the correct option.
A) 1,2,3  B) 2,3  C) only 2  D) only 1  E) 1,2

Solution: Every prime number greater than 3 can be written in the form of 7n+1 or 7n-1 where n is an integer. So 1 can be possible.   3. This is not possible as 2 and 3 are being prime , we can't write then in the form of 7n+1 or 7n-1.   1,2

A thief steals at a car at 2.30 p.m. and drives it at 60 km/hr. The theft is discovered at 3 p.m. and the owner sets off in another car at 70 km/hr. When will he overtake the thief?  Choose the correct choice
A) 6:34 p.m	B) 9:34 p.m	C) 6:00 p.m	D) 2:30 p.m	E) 1:34 p.m

Solution: :   Suppose the thief is overtaken x hrs after 2.30 p.m.   Then, distance covered by the owner in (x - 1/2) hrs.   60x = 70(x - 1/2) => x = 7/2 hrs.   So, the thief is overtaken at 5:34 p.m.'   Answer: 6:00 p.m
