There are six different models that are to appear in a fashion show. Two are from Europe, two are from South America, and two are from North America. If all the models from the same continent are to stand next to each other, how many ways can the fashion show organizer arrange the models? Select the correct option.
A) 72  B) 48  C) 64  D) 24  E) 8

Solution: Let's say that Models of Europe are represented by E1 and E2 respectively   Let's say that Models of South America are represented by S1 and S2   Let's say that Models of North America are represented by Na and N2   So we have to define the total ways of entries of E1 E2 S1 S2 N1 N2   We have to keep E1 E2 together and similarly N1 N2 together and similarly S1 S2 together so make three groups of two models from same region each   Arrangement of these three Group can be done in 3! ways   Arrangement of Models within Group can be done in 2!x2!x2! ways   i.e. Total Ways of Arranging the models so that they are grouped as per region together = (3!)*(2!x2!x2!) = 6*8= 
6*8 = 48

In N is a positive integer less than 200, and 14N/60 is an integer, then N has how many different positive prime factors S? Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 2  B) 3  C) 5  D) 6  E) 8

Solution: I like to put the numbers in prime factors so it is easier and faster to visualize.   14*n/60   If we write the factors of 14 --> 2, 7, and the factors of 60 --> 2, 2, 3, 5, we have   (2*7*n)/(2^2*3*5)   Simplifying   7*n/(2*3*5)   The only way the equation above has an integer value is if n has AT LEAST the factors 2, 3 and 5, so we can simplify again and we have the number 7.   The number could be 2*3*5, or 2*3*5*2, or 2*3*5*.....   However to be less than 200 we can not add any prime number.   2*3*5 = 120   If we added the next prime factor 7, we would have S=2*3*5*7 = 840   Thus, answer 3
Answer: B
Peter invests a sum of money and gets back an amount of $ 830 in 3 years . David invests an equal amount of money and gets an amount of $854 in 4 years. If both amounts were invested at the same rate (simple interest ) What was the sum of money invested ?
Choose the correct answer:  A) 670  B) 664  C) 698  D) 758  E) 700

Solution: Since both Peter and David invested the same amount of money at the same rate, they would earn same interest per year.   David invested for one year more than Peter and hence he got interest amount for one more year.   Interest earned per year = Amount received by 758avid - Amount received by Peter = 854 - 830= 
854 - 830 = 24
24   Interest earned for 3 years= 24*3= 
24*3 = 72
72   Amount invested= 830 - 72= 
830 - 72 = 758

Of the three-digit integers greater than 200, how many have two digits that are equal to each other and the remaining digit different from the other two?  Choices:
A) 90  B) 82  C) 80  D) 45  E) 36

Solution: Let the three digit number be represented as X Y Z.   There are 3 cases:   Case I.[ X=Y ]Z is not equal to XY :XXZorYYZ   X can be either 7, 8 or 9, so digit at X can be chosen in 3 ways   After X is chosen, Y can be chosen in 1 way   After XY are chosen, Z can be chosen in 9 ways   Thus, possible No of digits = (3 ways) * (1 way) * (9 ways) = 27 ....(1)   [example numbers: 774,779,882,993 etc]   Case II.[ X=Z ]Y is not equal to XZ:XYXorZYZ   X can be either 7, 8 or 9, so digit at X can be chosen in 3 ways   After X is chosen, Z can be chosen in 1 way   After XZ are chosen, Z can be chosen in 9 ways   Thus, possible No of digits = (3 ways) * (9 ways) * (1 way) = 27 ....(2)   [example numbers: 747,797,828,939 etc]   Case III.[ Y =Z ]X is not equal to YZ :XYYorXZZ   X can be either 7, 8 or 9, so digit at X can be chosen in 3 ways   After X is chosen, Y can be chosen in 9 ways   After Y is chosen, Z can have 1 way   Thus, possible No of digits = (3 ways) * (1 way) * (9 ways) = 27 ....(3)   [example numbers: 744,799,822,933 etc]   Therefore, total numbers of possible digits [sum of Case (1), (2)(3) above] = 27 + 27 + 27 - 1= 
27 + 27 + 27 - 1 = 80
80   One digit is subtracted from total number of possible digits to eliminate one possibility of XYZ= 700 to satisfy the condition that digit > 200.   Answer:(36)

Solution: concept of slope for linesparabolas are different. Bunuel, please correct if I am wrong. Also please help to solve this problem if its a GMAT type question.   The general form of parabolic equ. is y^2= 4ax which implies the axis is x or x^2 = 4ay where axis is y.   We have a similar form as x^2 = 4ay.   here the vertex is origin.   So if we have same values of x and y but constant term changes then we will have parallel parabolas.   This is same as for straight line P which are parallel for different values of constant term c   ax + by +c1 = 0 and ax +by+ c2 =0   We have quadratic equations. These equations when drawn give parabolas, not lines. The question is: which of the following parabolas does not intersect with the parabola represented by y=3x^2+5x+1.y = 3x^2+5x+2

A man goes into a barbershop and gets a $15 haircut. He pays the barber with a $20 bill, but the barber doesn't have change because it is an especially slow day. The barber goes to the flower shop next to his own and trades the $20 bill for a $10 dollar bill and two $5 bills. Then he gives the man his $5 in change.
Later the lady from the flower shop confronts the barber and tells him that the $20 bill he gave her was counterfeit. The barber agrees and he gives the lady a different $20 bill.
Later that day he tries to figure out how much money he lost. What did he lose?  Choose the correct answer
A) $5	B) $10	C) $12	D) $15	E) $20

Solution: He lost $5. The lady from the flower shop gave him $20 in change, but eventually got $20 back. She broke even. The man who got the haircut gave the barber nothing (except counterfeit money) but got $5 back from the barber. So the barber lost only $5, and gave a free haircut.

It takes printer A 4 more minutes more than printer B to print 40 pages. Working together, the two printers can print 50 pages in 6 minutes. How long will it take Printer A to print 140 pages?  Pick.
A) 12
B) 18
C) 20
D) 42
E) 30

Solution: If it takes 4 more minutes for A to print 40 pages than it takes B,   it takes 5 more minutes for A to print 50 pages than it takes B.   Thus if b is the number of minutes than B takes to print 50 pages,   we can write:   1/b+1/(b+5)=1/6 (since in 1 minute, they print 1/6th of the 50 page job)   6(2b+5)=b(b+5)   b^2-7b-30=0   (b-10)(b+3)=0   b=10   Thus it takes A 15 minutes to print 50 pages and   15*140/50= 
  15*140/50 = 42
42 minutes to print 140 pages (ANSWER 42)
