A certain quantity of 60% solution is replaced with 25% solution such that the new concentration is 35%. What is the fraction of the solution that was replaced?  Options:
A) 1/4
B) 1/3
C) 1/2
D) 2/3
E) 5/7

Solution: Let's say that the total original mixture A is 100 ml   The original mixture A thus has 60 ml of alcohol out of 100 ml of solution   You want to replace some of that original mixture A with another mixture B that contains 25 ml of alcohol per 100 ml. Thus, the difference between 60 ml and 25 ml is 35 ml per 100 ml of mixture. This means that every time you replace 100 ml of the original mixture A by 100 ml of mixture B, the original alcohol concentration will decrease by 35%. The question says that the new mixture, let's call it C, must be 35% alcohol, a decrease of only 25%. Therefore, 25 out of 35 is 5/7 and 5/7 is the answer.

In a two-digit number, if it is known that its unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2 and that the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144, then the number is:	Pick one:
A) 24  B) 26  C) 42  D) 46  E) 48

Solution: Let the ten's digit be x. Then, unit's digit = x + 2. Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2   Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2   (11x + 2)(2x + 2) + (  + 2)= 
+ (  + 2) = 2
2x + 2   (11x + 2)(2x + 2)= 144   2x2 + 26x - 140 = 0   (x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0   x = 2   Hence, required number = 11x + 2 = 24.   24NSWER:24

Which of the following triples of numbers have the same standard deviation as the numbers u, v and w?
I. u-2, v-2, w-2
II. 0, u-v, w-v
III. u-4, v+5, w-1 Select:
A) I only
B) II only
C) I and III only
D) II and I only
E) I, II, and III

Solution: If we add or subtract a constant to each term in a set the standard deviation will not change.   Set {u-2, v-2, w-2} is obtained by subtracting 2 from each term of {u, v, w}.   Set {0, u-v, w-v} is obtained by subtracting s from each term of {u, v, w}.   Set {u-4, v+5, w-1} is totally different from {u, v, w}.   Thus the answer is I and II only.   Answer: II and I only.
