If x is a positive, single-digit integer such that 4/3*x, 3x, x, and x + 2, and 3x – 2 form a non-ordered list of consecutive integers, which of the following could be the median of that list?  Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 3 B) 4 C) 5 D) 6 E) 8

Solution: The big hints are thatx is a 1-digit integerAND (4/3)x, 3x, x, and x + 2, and 3x – 2 are ALLintegers   For (4/3)x to be an integer, x MUST BE A MULTIPLE OF 3. So, x can equal 3, 6, or 9.   Now let's plug each possible value of x into the terms and see which one yields a list ofconsecutive integers   When x =3, we get the following terms: (4/3)(3), 3(3),3,3+ 2, and 3(3) – 2.   When we evaluate these terms we get: 4, 9, 3, 5 and 7   Rearrange to get: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9. So, when x = 3, we getconsecutive integers.   In this case, the MEDIAN = 5   Since 5 is among the answer choices, we need not test the other 2 values of x (i.e., x = 6 and x = 9)   Answer:   5

Solution: An isosceles right angled triangle has both the base and height same.   The area of an isosceles triangle = 1/2 * base * height   since height = base   1/2 * height * height = 1/2 * height ^2 = 50   height ^ 2 = 100   height = 10 = base   Since we know the base and height. We will calculate the hypotenuse using Pythagoras   Base ^ 2 + Height ^ 2 = Hypotenuse ^ 2   10^2 + 10^2 = Hypotenuse^2   Hypotenuse^2 = 200   Hypotenuse = 14.14   Perimeter of the triangle = 10 + 10 + 14.14= 
10 + 10 + 14.14 = 34.14
34.14   Ans: 34.14

The total number of plums that grow during each year on a certain plum tree is equal to the number of plums that grew during the previous year, less the age of the tree in years (rounded down to the nearest integer). During its 5th year, the plum tree grew 50 plums. If this trend continues, how many plums will it grow during its 7th year?
Choose the correct choice:
A) 36	B) 37	C) 38	D) 39	E) 40

Solution: 1st year : 0-1 (age), we take age = 0 (as the question says that we have to(rounded down to the nearest integer))   2ndyear : 1-2 (age), we take age = 1   3rd year : 2-3 (age), we take age = 2   4th year : 3-4 (age), we take age = 3   5th year : 4-5 (age), we take age = 4   6th year : 5-6 (age), we take age = 5   7th year : 6-7 (age), we take age =6   Thus for the 5th year = 50,   6th year = 50 -5= 
50 -5 = 45
45   7th year= 45-6= 
45-6 = 39
39   The correct answer is 39.

On a certain road, 10% of the motorists exceed the posted speed limit and receive speeding tickets, but 20% of the motorists who exceed the posted speed limit do not receive speeding tickets. What percent of the motorists on that road exceed the posted speed limit?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 10.5% B) 12.5% C) 15% D) 22% E) 30%

Solution: suppose there are X motorists.   10% of them exceeded the speed limit and received the ticket, i.e. X/10.   Again, suppose total no. of motorists who exceeded the speed limit are Y.   20% of Y exceeded the speed limit but didn't received the ticket, i.e. Y/5.   it means 4Y/5 received the ticket.   hence, 4Y/5 = X/10   or Y/X=1/8   or Y/X * 100= 1/8 * 100= 
1/8 * 100 = 25/2 = around 12.5
