The average length of 6 bars is 80 cm. If the average length of one third of the barsis 70 cm, what is the average of the other bars?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 75. B) 85. C) 90. D) 94. E) 100.

Solution: Edit:   Given ( X1 + X2 ... + X6 ) / 6 = 80   ( X1 + X2 ... + X6 ) = 480 --> Eq 1.   Now given avg length of one third barsis 70. That means out  6 / 3= 
 6 / 3 = 2
2 bars.   let the avg length of two barsbe ( X1 + X2 ) / 2= 70 .   ( X1 + X2 ) = 140. --> eq 2.   Now we are asked to find the average of the remaining i.e. ( X3 + X4 + X5 + X6 )   Substitute eq 2 in eq 1 then we get   140 + X3 + X4 + X5 + X6 = 480   => X3 + X4 + X5 + X6 = 340   Now divide 340 by 4 we get 85.   => ( X3 + X4 + X5 + X6) / 4 = 85 = avg length of remaining bars.   IMO correct option is 85..

Solution: Here, we will follow the procedure we demonstrated in the last section. Call (–2, 3) the “first” point and (5, –4), the “second.” Rise = –4 – 3 = –7. Run = 5 – (–2) = 7. Slope = rise/run = –7/7= 
7/7 = 1
–1.   Yes, it makes sense that the slope is negative. We have the slope, so plug m= –1 and (x, y) = (–2, 3) into y = mx + b:   3 = (–1)*(–2) + b   3 = 2 + b   1 = b   So, plugging in m = –1 and b = 1, we get an equation y = –x + 1. y = –x + 1nswer = y = –x + 1
Answer: A
In a certain office 1/3 of the workers are women ½ of the women are married and 1/3 of the married women have children if ¾ of the men are married and 2/3 of the married men have children what part of workers are without children?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 15/18 B) 7/18 C) 17/18 D) 6/18 E) 11/18

Solution: Let the total no of workers be x   No of women =x/3   No of men =x-(x/3)=2x/3   No of women having children =1/3 of ½ ofx/3=x/18   No of men having children=2/3 of ¾ of2x/3=x/3   No of workers having children = x/8 +x/3=7x/18   Workers having no children=x-7x/18=11x/18=11/18 of all workers   Answer is 11/18.
Answer: E
If g > x > y > z on the number line, y is halfway between x and z, and x is halfway between w and z, then (y - x)/(y - g) = Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 1/4  B) 1/3  C) 1/2  D) 3/4  E) 1

Solution: Let y-z=t ---> since y is halfway between x and z and x>y we have x-y=t. Moreover x-z=(x-y)+(y-z)=2t. Similarly since x is halfway between w and z, we have g-x=2t. So y-x=-t, y-g=-3t. ---> (y - x)/(y - g) = 1/3.   The answer is (1/3).
Answer: B
Four staff members at a certain company worked on a project. The amounts of time that the four staff members worked on the project were in the ratio 2 to 3 to 5 to 6. If one of the four staff members worked on the project for 45 hours, which of the following CANNOT be the total number of hours that the four staff members worked on the project?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:  A) 80  B) 360  C) 120  D) 144  E) 240

Solution: A:B:C:D=2x:3x:5x:6x, for some positive number x. Total time 2x+3x+5x+6x=16x.   If 2x 2 +3 +5 +6= 
2 +3 +5 +6 = 16
16x.   If 2x= 45 then 16x = 360;   If 3x = 45 then 16x = 240;   If 5x = 45 then 16x = 144;   If 6x = 45 then 16x = 120;   Only answer choices which is not obtained is 80.   80nswer: 80.
Answer: A
One hour after Yolanda started walking from X to Y, a distance of 24 miles, Bob started walking along the same road from Y to X. If Yolanda's walking rate was 3 miles per hour and Bobт's was 4 miles per hour, how many miles had Bob walked when they met? Choose the correct option: A) 24 B) 23 C) 22 D) 21 E) 12

Solution: When B started walking Y already has covered 3 miles out of 24, hence the distance at that time between them was   24-3= 
  24-3 = 21
21 miles.   Combined rate of B and Y was   3+4= 
  3+4 = 7
7 miles per hour, hence they would meet each other in  21/7= 
 21/7 = 3
3 hours. In 6 hours B walked  3*4= 
 3*4 = 12
12 miles.   Answer: 12.
Answer: E
If w, x, and y are consecutive odd positive integers and w < x < y, which of the following could be equal to y - x - w ?  Choose the correct option
A) -4
B) -2
C) -1
D) 0
E) 3

Solution: Given:w, x, and y are consecutive odd positive integers and w < x < y   Let take value of X as a ; value of y=x+2(consecutive odd integer) ; and w=x-2   So;   y-x-w = x+2 - x - (X+2)   therefore , y-x-w = 4-x   Now,   X is odd and x>= 3   so x can assume values= 3,5,7 ...   therefore when x=5   4-5= -1   ANSWER:-1
Answer: C

A) 200000 B) 215600 C) 194582 D) 212809 E) 215460

Solution: population after 2years = 189400*(1+ 6/100)^2 = 212809   Answer is 212809
Answer: D
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h sitting in a row what is the probability that a,b,c sitting together?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 3/14
B) 5/28
C) 3/28
D) 1/7
E) 9/28

Solution: total number of arrangement is= 8!= 40320   Favorable event i.e)a,b and c can be arranged in 3! and the remaining can be arranged in 6! since ab can be in any of the four positions.   so 3!*6!/8! = 3/28   ANSWER:3/28

Answer: C
If n = 9^11 – 9, what is the units digit of n? Pick:  A) 0  B) 1  C) 4  D) 6  E) 8

Solution: Always divide the power (incase 11) by 4 and use the remainder as the new power. The question now becomes 9^3 - 9. Now 9^3 has last digit 9. , we subtract 9 from 9 , thus 9 -9= 
9 -9 = 0
0 is the answer. Option 0
Answer: A
Solve below question 6x - 1 = -13 Choose the correct option:	A) -8	B) -2	C) -5	D) -4	E) 1

Solution: 1. Subtract 1 from both sides: 6x - 1 + 1 = -13 + 1 2. Simplify both sides: 6x = -12 3. Divide both sides by 6: 4. Simplify both sides: x = -2 -2
