A) 3  B) 6  C) 9  D) 18  E) 22

Solution: I don't agree with your solutions, first. And second the answer choices don't seem to contain the right answer.   My solution is as follows, and I ask anyone to correct me if I am wrong.   Solution 1   Let the distance covered by train A be X, thus that covered by the train B will be 12*3.14-X   dA = X dB = 12*3.14 - X   Times taken by A and B are   tA= X/4*3.14 , tB = (12*3.14 - X)/6*3.14 (ii)   Since they have been traveling for the same period of time, then   X/4*3.14 = (12*3.14 - X)/6*3.14   X/2 =(12*3.14 -X)/3   3X = 2(12*3.14 -X)   5X = 24*3.14   X = 24*3.14/5   Plugging that in either equation of (ii) yields t = 6/5   Solution 2   We add the speed of A and B: totalSpeed E= 4*3.14 + 6*3.14 = 10*3.14   Total distance covered = 12*3.14   t ime = distance / speed = 12*3.14/10*3.14 = 6/5.   tA =( X/4*3.14) =(24*3.14/5)/4*3.14 = 6/5=6

The distance from City A to City B is 120 miles. While driving from City A to City B, Cara drives at a constant speed of 30 miles per hour. Dan leaves City A 90 minutes after Cara. What is the minimum constant speed in miles per hour that Dan must exceed in order to arrive in City B before Cara?  Choose the correct choice
A) 42
B) 44
C) 46
D) 48
E) 50

Solution: The time it takes Cara to drive to City B is 120 / 30= 
120 / 30 = 4
4 hours.   Dan needs to take less than 2.5 hours for the trip.   Dan needs to exceed a constant speed of  120 / 2.5= 
 120 / 2.5 = 48
48 miles per hour.   The answer is 48.

In a certain pond, 30 fish were caught, tagged, and returned to the pond. A few days later, 50 fish were caught again, of which 2 were found to have been tagged. If the percent of tagged fish in the second catch approximates the percent of tagged fish in the pond, what is the approximate number of fish in the pond?
Choose the most appropriate option
A) 750	B) 625	C) 1,250	D) 2,500	E) 10,000

Solution: This is a rather straight forward ratio problem.   1. 30 fish tagged   2. 2 out of the 50 fish caught were tagged thus 2/50   2/50=30/x   thus, x=750   Think of the analogy: 2 fish is to 50 Fish as 50 fish is to ...?   You've tagged 50 fish and you need to find what that comprises as a percentage of the total fish population - we have that information with the ratio of the second catch.   750

John throws a coin until a series of four consecutive heads or three consecutive tails appears. What is the probability that the game will end after the fifth throw?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices:  A) 1/16  B) 2/16  C) 3/16  D) 7/16  E) 9/16

Solution: Let's consider the routes that would lead to ending the game on the fourth toss. In order to be a win at that point, tosses #2#3#4 would all have to be the same, either H or T, and in order for the game NOT to end on the third toss, the first toss would have to be different from the other four. Thus, the only two possible sequences are   H-T-T-T-T ----> P = (1/2)^5 = 1/32   T-H-H-H-H ----> P = (1/2)^5 = 1/32   Either one of these would satisfy the condition, so we could have one or the other. OR means add in probability.   1/32 + 1/32 = 2/32 = 1/16   1/16nswer(1/16).

Options
A) 258	B) 426	C) 324	D) 542	E) 410

Solution: Pretty simple actually   Number of 1 letter symbols = 6   Number of 2 letter symbols = 6*6   Number of 3 letter symbols = 6*6*6   The answer is sum of the 3. = 258   The answer choices have their units digits unique. All 3 of the above end in 6 (6 to the power of anything ends in 6) so  6+6+6=
