When the bus started from the first bus stop, the number of male passengers to the number of female passengers was 1 : 3. At the first stop, 16 passengers got down and 6 more female passengers got in. The ratio of the male to female passengers now became 1: 2. What was the total number of passengers in the bus when it started from the first stop?  Answers
A) 64  B) 48  C) 54  D) 46  E) Cannot be determined

Solution: Let, initially the number of males and females in the bus be ’x’ and ’3x’ respectively.   At the first stop, suppose ’m’ males and ’f’ females left the bus.   Therefore at the first stop the number of males is ’x - m’ and the number of females is ’(3x - f) + 6’   Therefore (x - m)/[(3x - f) + 6] = 1/2   => 2x - 2m = 3x - f + 6   Also m + f = 16   x = 26 - f   As we have 3 variable and 2 equations, a definite value cannot be determined.

Answer: E
The amount of electrical current that flows through a wire is inversely proportional to the resistance in that wire. A wire originally carries 4 amperes of electrical current. Then the resistance is reduced to one-fifth of its original value. How many amperes of electrical current will flow through the wire?  Select:
A) 0.8
B) 5
C) 12
D) 20
E) 24

Solution: Given that, I∝1/R, I*R is a constant value.   I1*R1 = I2*R2   I1*R1 = I2*R1/5   I2 = 5*I1 = 20 amperes   The answer is 20.

In a 100-mile trip, the first 20 miles were completed at 40 mph. If the average speed for the whole trip was 50 mph, what was the average speed in the last 80 miles? Choices
A) 155/3 mph	B) 160/3 mph	C) 165/3 mph	D) 170/3 mph	E) 175/5 mph

Solution: The time to complete the first 20 miles was (20 miles / 40 mph) = (1/2) hours.   The time to complete the whole trip was (100 miles / 50 mph) = (2) hours.   The time to complete the last 80 miles was (2) - (1/2) = (3/2) hours.   The average speed in the last 80 miles was (80 miles / (3/2) hours) = 160/3 mph.   The answer is 160/3 mph.

Both Robert and Alice leave from the same location at 7:00 a.m. driving in the same direction, but in separate cars. Robert drives 40 miles per hour while Alice drives 60 miles per hour. After 6 hours, Alice’s car stops. At what time will Robert’s car reach Alice’s car?  Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 1 p.m.	B) 3 p.m.	C) 4 p.m.	D) 8 p.m.	E) 9 p.m.

Solution: 7:00 am so 6 hours later is 1:00 pm   In six hours, Robert will have driven  6*40= 
 6*40 = 240
240 miles   In six hours, Alive will have driven 6*60= 
6*60 = 360
360 miles   So Robert needs  360-240=

A certain clock marks every hour by striking a number of times equal to the hour, and the time require for a stroke is exactly equal to the time interval between strokes. At 6:00 the time lapse between the beginning of the first stoke and the end of the last stroke is 22 seconds. At 10:00, how many seconds elapse between the beginning of the first stroke and the end of the last stroke?
Choose the correct choice from the following:	A) 42	B) 36	C) 46	D) 38	E) 40

Solution: at 6'o clock, there would be 6 strikes. First strike, then a short interval, the second strike, then a short interval and so on till the 6th strike. So there would be in all 5 intervals between 6 strikes. Similarly, between 10 strikes, there would be 9 intervals.   According to the question, the time spent in the strike and the interval is same.   At 6'o clock, the 6 strikes and the 5 intervals together take 22 sec so each strike and each interval takes 2 secs.   At 12'o clock, the 10 strikes and 9 intervals will take 2*(10+9)= 
2*(10+9) = 38

A) 12 B) 15 C) 18 D) 20 E) 25

Solution: This is a very specific format that has appeared in a handful of real GMAT questions, and you may wish to learn to recognize it: here we have a *fixed* distance, and we are given the difference between the times and speeds of two things that have traveled that distance. This is one of the very small number of question formats where backsolving is typically easier than solving directly, since the direct approach normally produces a quadratic equation.   Say Team R's speed was s. Then Team R's time is 300/s.   Team A's speed was then s+5, and Team A's time was then 300/(s+5).   We need to find an answer choice for s so that the time of Team A is 3 less than the time of Team R. That is, we need an answer choice so that 300/(s+5) = (300/s) - 3. You can now immediately use number properties to zero in on promising answer choices: the times in these questions will always work out to be integers, and we need to divide 300 by s, and by s+5. So we want an answer choice s which is a factor of 300, and for which s+5 is also a factor of 300. So you can rule out answers A and C immediately, since s+5 won't be a divisor of 300 in those cases (sometimes using number properties you get to the correct answer without doing any other work, but unfortunately that's not the case here). Testing the other answer choices, if you try answer 20, you find the time for Team R is 15 hours, and for Team A is 12 hours, and since these differ by 3, as desired, 20 is correct.

A.	810   B.	1440   C.	2880   D.	50400   E.	5760   Answer: Option D   Explanation:   In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter.   Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).   This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different.   Number of ways arranging these letters =	7!/2!	= 2520.   Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged   in	5!/3!	= 20 ways.   Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.   Answer:50400

A train passes a station platform in 36 sec and a man standing on the platform in 20 sec. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr. What is the length of the platform?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 120 m
B) 240 m
C) 300 m
D) 400 m
E) 450 m

Solution: Answer: Option B   Speed = 54 * 5/18= 
54 * 5/18 = 15
15 m/sec.   Length of the train= 15 * 20= 
15 * 20 = 300
300 m.   Let the length of the platform be x m . Then,   (x + 300)/36= 15 => x = 240 m.
Answer: B
Rs.900 is divided among Maya, Annie, Saiji so that Maya receives half as much as Annie and Annie half as much as Saiji. Then Saiji’s share is :  Choose the correct answer:
A) Rs.200
B) Rs.300
C) Rs.400
D) Rs.600
E) Rs.500

Solution: Let Saiji = x. Then, Annie = x/2 and Maya = x/4.   Therefore, Maya : Annie : Saiji = x/4 : x/2 : x = 1 : 2 : 4.   Therefore, Saiji’s share = Rs. 900 * 4/9   = Rs.400.   ANSWER:Rs.400
