A group of hikers is planning a trip that will take them up a mountain using one route and back down using another route. They plan to travel down the mountain at a rate of one and a half times the rate they will use on the way up, but the time each route will take is the same. If they will go up the mountain at a rate of 7 miles per day and it will take them two days, how many miles long is the route down the mountain? Choose the correct option.
A) 18	B) 19	C) 20	D) 21	E) 22

Solution: On the way down, the rate is  1.5*7= 
 1.5*7 = 10.5
10.5 miles per day.   The distance of the route down the mountain is   2*10.5= 
  2*10.5 = 21
21 miles.   The answer is 21.

The average age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago was 27 years and that of wife and the child 5 years ago was 20 years. The present age of the husband is?	Pick:
A) 30 years
B) 35 years
C) 40 years
D) 50 years
E) 55 years

Solution: Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 x 3 + 3 x 3) years = 90 years.   Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (20 x 2 + 5 x 2) years = 50 years.   Husband's present age = (90 - 50)= 
(90 - 50) = 40
40 years.   40 years)

A) 1/5	B) 1/8	C) 1/7	D) 15/56	E) 4/7

Solution: A B C   ------------   | TABLE |   ------------   D E F   A to F are 6 people.   Prob to select any 1 person = 1   Prob to select the person opposite to the chosen person = 1/5   For ex. If we select A as the person than prob of choosing D is 1/5.   Hence, answer will be 1/5.
Answer: A
If a store adds 20 chairs to its current inventory, the total number of chairs will be the same as three-halves the current inventory of chairs. If the manager wants to increase the current inventory by 50%, what will the new inventory of chairs be? Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 40
B) 60
C) 100
D) 140
E) 160

Solution: Explanation:   Letâ€™s say t = total current inventory of chairs. The first sentence states that 20 + t = (3/2)t. First solve for the current inventory:   20 + t = (3/2)t   20 = (3/2)t âˆ’ t   20 = (1/2)t   40 = t   The manager wants to increase this by 50%.   50% of 40 is 20, so the new inventory will be 60.   Answer: 60

Set X consists of prime numbers {3, 11, 7, K, 17, 19}. If integer Q represents the product of all elements in set X and if 11Q is an even number, what is the range of set X?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 14	B) 16	C) 17	D) 20	E) 26

Solution: Since 11Q = Even therefore Q has to beEVENsince 11 is a odd integer (Even * Odd = Even)   Similarly, Q is the product of all integers in set X But all integers in Set X are odd except the unknown K and since X contains only prime numbers, K has to equal to 2... ( 2 is the only even prime number and the product of all prime numbers in set X has to be Even, Even * Odd = Even)   Since you know value of K you can calculate the range = Largest integer in the set minus Smallest integer in the set = 19-2= 
19-2 = 17

Answer: A
If the least common multiple of 9, 10, 12,
and v is 540, which of the following
could be v? Choose the correct choice from the following options: A) 18 B) 24 C) 27 D) 36 E) 45

Solution: To begin, notice that 540 isn’t a multiple of 24, so you can rule out Choice (B). Now find   the least common multiple (LCM) of 9, 10, and 12. The LCM of 9 and 10 is 90, so the LCM of   9, 10, and 12 must be a multiple of 90. Here are the first six multiples of 90:   90, 180, 270, 360, 450, 540   The number 180 is a multiple of 12 as well, so the LCM of 9, 10, and 12 is 180. However, 180   also is a multiple of 18, 36, and 45. So if any of these numbers were v, the LCM of 9, 10, 12,   and v would be 180. As a result, you can rule out 27hoices (A), (D), and (E), leaving 27hoice(27) as your only answer.

Solution: Since Z* is defined as the greatest positive even integer less than or equal to Z, then 6.45* =6 (the greatest positive even integer less than or equal to 6.45 is 6).   Hence, 6.45 – 6.45* = 6.45 - 6= 
6.45 - 6 = 0.45
0.45   0.45nswer: 0.45.

There are 30 players in a chess group, and each player plays each of the others once. Given that each game is played by two players, how many total games will be played? Choices:
A) 10  B) 30  C) 435  D) 60  E) 90

Solution: 30 players are there.   two players play one game with one another.   so 304352=30*29/2= 
30*29/2 = 435
435   SO OPTION 435 is correct
Answer: C
In a certain random experiment, exactly one of the outcomes A, B, and V will occur. In each random experiment, the probability that outcome A will occur is 1/3 , and the probability that outcome B will occur is 1/3. What is the probability that when the random experiment is conducted 6 independent times, each of outcomes A, B, and V will occur twice?  Pick.
A) 5/243  B) 1/12  C) 10/81  D) 1/6  E) 16/81

Solution: Number of ways in which a group of 2A,2B,2V can be formed in any order = 6!/(2!*2!*2!) [ formula for total of 6 items with 2 each of similar kind)   Total number of ways in which the die can be thrown independently = _ _ _ _ _ _ ; there are 6 places .First can be filled in 3 different ways A/B/V; Second in 3 diff ways again and so on.   So total number of ways = 3X3X3X3X3X3 = 3^6   There fore probability = 6!/(2!x2!x2!) by 3^6 = 90/3^6 = 10/81 Answer 10/81
Answer: C
Prove that if a and b are different integers, then there exist infinitely many positive integers n such that a+n and b+n are relatively prime.	Choose the correct answer
A) (a+n, b+n) = 50  B) 4  C) 3  D) 2  E) (a+n, b+n) = 1

Solution: Let a ,and b be two different integers. Assume for instance a < b, and let n = (b-a)k+ I-a. For k sufficiently large, n will be positive integer. We have a+n = (b-a)k+l, b+n = (b-a) (k+l)+l, hence a+n and b+n will be positive integers. If we had d|a+n and d|b+n, we would have d|a-b, and, in view of d|a+n, also d|1, which implies that d = 1. Thus, (a+n, b+n) = 1.   So Answer is (a+n, b+n) = 1 (a+n, b+n) = 1
Answer: E
While calculating the edge of a square, a worker makes an error of 2% in excess. What % error does he make in calculating area? (%)  Choices.
A) 4.09  B) 4.0  C) 4.04  D) 4.02  E) 4.01

Solution: Explanation:   Given Error = 2% while measuring the side of a square.   If the correct value of the side of square is 100, the measured value:   => 100 + 2% *100   = 100+2= 
100+2 = 102
102   The area of square with edge 100= side*side   => 100*100= 
100*100 = 10_000
> 10000   The area of square with side 102= 102*102= 
102*102 = 10_404
10404   Error in area calculation= 10404-1000 = 404   % error= (404/10000)*100= 
(404/10000)*100 = 101/25 = around 4.04

The average salary of a person for the months of January, February, March and April is Rs.8000 and that for the months February, March, April and May is Rs.8500. If his salary for the month of May is Rs.6500, find his salary for the month of January?
Options.
A) 2177	B) 2876	C) 4500	D) 2981	E) 2711

Solution: Sum of the salaries of the person for the months of January, February, March and April = 4 * 8000= 
4 * 8000 = 32_000
32000 ----(1)   Sum of the salaries of the person for the months of February, March, April and May= 4 * 8500= 
4 * 8500 = 34_000
34000 ----(2)   (2)-(1) i.e. May - Jan= 2000   Salary of May is Rs.6500   Salary of January = Rs.4500.Answer: 4500
