When positive integer N is divided by positive integer J, the remainder is 12. If N/J = 134.08, what is value of J?	Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 22  B) 56  C) 78  D) 150  E) 175

Solution: When a number is divided by another number, we can represent it as : Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Remainder   So, Dividend/Divisor = Quotient + Remainder/Divisor   Given that N/J = 134.08   Here 134 is the quotient.   Given that Remainder = 12   So, 134.08 = 134 + 12/J   So, J = 150 ANS 150

If x and y are positive integers such that x/y = 4.25, which of the following numbers could be y?
Options:
A) 5	B) 4	C) 3	D) 17	E) 50

Solution: With the given information, we are trying to find the value of y.   To achieve this we must convert the given decimal to a fraction and reduce it to it's lowest integer form.   Take the decimal x/y = 4.25 and because it's in the hundreds decimal place, put the given value (x/y = 4.25/1) and multiply it by 100.   Take the resulting fraction (x/y = 425/100) and reduce it to it's lowest form.   Both of the numbers are divisible by 25.   The result is x/y = 17/4.   Thus y = 4.   The correct answer is 4.

A set of data consists of the following 9 numbers: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. Which two numbers, if added to create a set of 7 numbers, will result in a new standard deviation that is close to the standard deviation for the original 5 numbers? Choose the most appropriate option:	A) -1 and 9	B) 4 and 4	C) 3 and 5	D) 2 and 6	E) 0 and 8

Solution: If you are in for some calculations , this is how I got to it   mean = 4   sd = \sqrt{8} = 2.8   Expected values for the SD to not change are - One value below SD from mean is (4 - 2.8)= 
(4 - 2.8) = 1.2
1.2 , and one value above SD is (4 + 2.8)= 
(4 + 2.8) = 6.8
6.8   This would mean , adding 1.2 ans 6.8 would have no impact on the SD . SD remains the same when these two numbers are added. Now for SD to change the least , we need to add two values that are closest to these two values.   Hence any two values that are closest to 1.2 and 6.8 would change the SD , the least.   1. -1 , 9   distance between (1,9) and (1.2 and 6.8) is 2.2 and 2.2   2. 4 , 4   distance etween (4,4) and (1.2 , 6.8) is 2.8 and 2.8   3. 3 , 5   Distance is - 1.8 and 1.8   4. 2 , 6   Distance is - 0.8 and 0.8   5. 0 , 8   Distnace is - 1.2 and 1.2   Hence from above , we see that adding -1 and 9 , results in a value that would change the SD to the least. Hence -1 and 9

If a is the smallest positive integer such that 3,150 multiplied by a is the square of an integer, then a must be Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 2  B) 5  C) 6  D) 7  E) 14

Solution: Solution:   This problem is testing us on the rule that when we express a perfect square by its unique prime factors, every prime factor's exponent is an even number.   Let’s start by prime factorizing 3,150.   3,150 = 315 x 10 = 5 x 63 x 10 = 5 x 7 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 2   3,150 = 2^1 x 3^2 x 5^2 x 7^1   (Notice that the exponents of both 2 and 7 are not even numbers. This tells us that 3,150 itself is not a perfect square.)   We also are given that 3,150 multiplied by a is the square of an integer. We can write this as:   2^1 x 3^2 x 5^2 x 7^1 x a = square of an integer   According to our rule, we need all unique prime factors' exponents to be even numbers. Thus, we need one more 2 and one more 7. Therefore, a = 7 x 2 = 14   Answer is 14.

X and Y started a business with capitals Rs. 20000 and Rs. 25000. After few months Z joined them with a capital of Rs. 30000. If the share of Z in the annual profit of Rs. 50000 is Rs. 14000, then after how many months from the beginning did Z join?
Pick one
A) 8 months
B) 2 months
C) 6 months
D) 4 months
E) 5 months

Solution: Investments of X, Y and Z respectively are Rs. 20000, Rs. 25000 and Rs. 30000   Let investment period of Z be x months.   Ratio of annual investments of X, Y and Z is (20000 * 12) : (25000 * 12) : (30000 * x)   = 240 : 300 : 30x = 8 : 10 : x   The share of Z in the annual profit of Rs. 50000 is Rs. 14000.   => [x/ (18 + x)] 50000 = 14000 => [x/ (18 + x)] 25 = 7   => 25x = 7x + (18 * 7) => x = 7 months.   Answer:E   Z joined the business after (12 - 7) months. i.e., 5 months.

In a certain warehouse, 70 percent of the packages weigh less than 75 pounds, and a total of 48 packages weigh less than 25 pounds. If 80 percent of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds, how many of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds but less than 75 pounds? Select.
A) 8
B) 64
C) 120
D) 102
E) 144

Solution: If 80% of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds   This means that 20% of the packages weigh LESS THAN 25 pounds   Let T = TOTAL number of packages   So, 20% of T = # of packages that weigh LESS THAN 25 pounds   48 packages weigh LESS THAN 25 pounds   GREAT. So, 20% of T = 48   Rewrite to get: 0.2T = 48   Solve:T = 240   70% of the packages weigh less than 75 pounds   So, 70% ofT= number of packages that weigh less than 75 pounds   70% of240=168, so168packages weigh less than 75 pounds   OF THOSE168packages that weigh less than 75 pounds,48packages weigh less than 25 pounds.   So, the number of packages that weight BETWEEN 25 and 75 pounds =168-48=
