x = 13.175
y = 7.496
z = 11.545
The number A is obtained by first rounding the values of x, y, and z to the hundredths place and then adding the resulting values. The number B is obtained by first adding the values of x, y, and z and then rounding the sum to the hundredths place. What is the value of A – B?  Options:  A) 0.01  B) 0.02  C) 0.03  D) 0.1  E) 0.2

Solution: Rounding off the values:   x = 13.18   y = 7.50   z = 11.55   A = 13.18 + 7.50 + 11.55= 
13.18 + 7.50 + 11.55 = 32.23
32.23   x + y + z= 13.175 + 7.496 + 11.545 = 32.206   0.02 = 32.21   A - 0.02 = 0.02   Option 0.02

The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1:3:16. Find the measurement of the largest of three angles of triangle.
Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 90°	B) 100°	C) 120°	D) 144°	E) 160°

Solution: If the ratio of the three angles is 1:3:16, then the measures of these angles can be written as x, 3x and 16x. Also the sum of the three interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. Hence   x + 3x + 16x = 180   Solve for x   20x = 180   x = 9   The measures of the three angles are   x = 9°   3x = 3 ×9 = 27°   16x = 16 × 9 = 144°   144°

Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $195. If she gets paid every other week, write an integer describing how the raise will affect her paycheck.  Choose the correct choice:
A) $204	B) $231	C) $156	D) $195	E) $200

Solution: Let the 1st paycheck be x (integer).   Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $ 195.   So after completing the 1st week she will get $ (x+195).   Similarly after completing the 2nd week she will get $ (x + 195) + $ 195.   = $ (x + 195 + 195)   = $ (x + 390)   So in this way end of every week her salary will increase by $ 195.   $195

A box contains 14 pairs of shoes (28shoes in total). If two shoes are selected at random, what it is the probability that they are matching shoes?
Select the correct option:
A) 1/190 B) 1/20 C) 1/19 D) 1/27 E) 1/9

Solution: The problem with your solution is that we don't choose 1 shoe from 28 but rather choose the needed one AFTER we just took one and need the second to be the pair of it. So, the probability would simply be: 1/1*1/27(as after taking one at random there are 27 shoes left and only one is the pair of the first one)=1/27   Answer: 1/27

There are 50 employees in the office of ABC Company. Of these, 22 have taken an accounting course, 14 have taken a course in finance and 15 have taken a marketing course. 10 of the employees have taken exactly two of the courses and 1 employee has taken all three of the courses. How many of the 50 employees have taken none of the courses?	Choices:
A) 11 B) 5 C) 9 D) 8 E) 10

Solution: 50 Employees. Counting every different attendand to the courses we have:   Accounting: 22   Finance: 14   Marketing: 15   Which would add up to 51 different attendands, which is not possible.   Now 10 have taken exactly 2 courses, which means that there are 10 less different attendands. Say that 10 of the Finance attentands also attended Accounting.   51-10= 
51-10 = 41
41   1 Person has taken all three courses. As above, we subtract him from the number of different attendands. Since this time the person took all three courses, we have to substract him two times.   41-2=

A driver would have reduced the time it took to drive from home to the store by 1/4 if the average speed had been increased by 10 miles per hour. What was the actual average speed, in miles per hour, when the driver drove from home to the store?	Choose the most appropriate option
A) 12
B) 15
C) 20
D) 25
E) 30

Solution: Since the distance remains the same (we're just changing the rate and time), any increase in rate or time is met with a decrease in the other term. Decreasing the time by 1/4 would give us:   D = (R)(T) = (3T/4)(x*R)   x = 4/3 since (3T/4)(4R/3) = (R)(T) = D   4R/3 = R + 10   R/3 = 10   R= 30   The answer is 30.

Solution: I think, here we should use the greatest common factor.   The greatest common factor for 144 and 108 is 36.   So 36/x is an integer.   For the rest of the answers, if x is 36 then 9/x and 12/x leads to fractions.   Ans is II and III only.

The ages of Patrick and Michael are in the ratio of 3 : 5 and that of Michael and Monica are in the ratio of 3 : 5. If the sum of their ages is 141, what is the difference between the ages of Patrick and Monica?  Choose the correct answer
A) 27
B) 48
C) 45
D) 72
E) 18

Solution: Ages of P and Mi=3x+5x   Ages of Mi and Mo=3x:5x   Rationalizing their ages. ratio of their ages will be 9x:15x:25x   Sum=47x=141   x=3   Difference if ages of Pa and Mo=25x-9x=16x25 -9= 
25 -9 = 16
16x=16*3= 
16*3 = 48

Answer: B
A $74.95 lawn chair was sold for $59.95 at a special sale. By approximately what percent was the price decreased?  Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 15%
B) 20%
C) 25%
D) 60%
E) 80%

Solution: Listed selling price of chair = 74.95 $   Discounted selling price of chair = 59.95 $   Discount = 74.95 - 59.95= 
74.95 - 59.95 = 15
15 $   % decrease in price of chair= (15/74.95) * 100% = 20 % approx   Answer 20%
Answer: B
Linda spent 2/3 of her savings on furniture and the rest on a TV. If the TV cost her $250, what were her original savings?	Choose the correct choice from the following:  A) $750  B) $350  C) $650  D) $550  E) $850

Solution: If Linda spent 2/3 of her savings on furniture, the rest   3 / 3 - 2 / 3 = 1 / 3 on a TV   But the TV cost her $250. So 1 / 3 of her savings is $250. So her original savings are 3 times $250 = $750   correct answer $750
Answer: A
The average of 9 observations was 9, that of the 1st of 5 being 10 and that of the last 5 being 8. What was the 5th observation? Select
A) 6 B) 9 C) 8 D) 2 E) 3

Solution: 1 to 9 = 9 * 9= 
9 * 9 = 81
81   1 to 5= 5 * 10= 
5 * 10 = 50
50   5 to 9= 5 * 8= 
5 * 8 = 40
40   5th= 50 + 40= 
50 + 40 = 90
90 – 81= 9   Answer:9
Answer: B
What is the sum of the multiples of 6 from 48 to 72, inclusive?	Choose the correct answer:
A) 500	B) 600	C) 700	D) 300	E) 400

Solution: The formula we want to use in this type of problem is this:   Average*Total Numbers=Sum   First, find the average by taking the sum of the F + L number and divide it by 2:   A = (F + L)/2   Second, find the total numbers in our range by dividing our F and L numbers by 7 and add 1.   (72/6) - (48/6) + 1   Multiply these together so what we show Average*Total Numbers=Sum   (48 + 72)/2 * (72/6) - (48/6) + 1 = Sum   60 * 5= 
60 * 5 = 300
300   300
Answer: D
A steel vessel has a base of length 60 cm and breadth 30 cm. Water is poured in the vessel. A cubical steel box having edge of 30 cm is immersed completely in the vessel. How much will the water rise? Select the correct option.
A) 7.5 cm rise	B) 10 cm rise	C) 15 cm rise	D) 30 cm rise	E) None of these

Solution: Explanation:   Volume of 15 cm riseube=a3=a*a*a   60cm*30cm*H=30cm*30cm*30cm   H=15cm   ANSWER IS 15 cm rise
Answer: C
The average weight of 8 person's increases by 2.5 kg when a new person comes in place of one of them weighing 60 kg. What might be the weight of the new person? Choose the correct choice:  A) 56 kg  B) 80 kg  C) 85 kg  D) Data inadequate  E) None of these

Solution: B   80 kg   Total weight increased = (8 x 2.5) kg = 20 kg.   Weight of new person = (60 + 20)= 
(60 + 20) = 80
80 kg.
Answer: B
The sum of all the digits of the integers from 18 to 21 inclusive is 24 (1 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 24). What is the sum T of all the digits of the integers from 0 to 99 inclusive? Choices:
A) 450
B) 810
C) 900
D) 1000
E) 1100

Solution: We want the sum of the digits from 0 to 99, so I approximated:   0-9 ->45-> (9+0)*10/2   40-49 ->85(13+4)*10/2   90-99 ->135(18+9)*10/2   We can see at a glance that theweightgoes up as the numbers go up (meaning the difference between 85 and 45 is 40, while 135-85 is 50, this means that the second part of this sequence carries more weight for our result), so we know that the final answer has to be more than 850 (85*10) but close to it, and that's just T=900:the answer is 900.
Answer: C
A certain list consists of 21 different numbers. If n is in the list and n is 2 times the average (arithmetic mean) of the other 20 numbers in the list, then n is what fraction of the sum of the 21 numbers in the list? Select
A) 1/20  B) 1/12  C) 1/5  D) 4/21  E) 5/21

Solution: series : a1, a2....a20,n   sum of a1+a2+...+a20 = 20*x (x = average)   so, n = 2*x   Hence, a1+a2+..+a20+n = 22x   So, the fraction asked = 2x/22x = 1/12   1/12
