Mario and Nina each have a bag of marbles, each of which contains 6 blue marbles, 10 red marbles, and 4 white marbles. If Mario and Nina each select one marble from their respective bags, what is the probability that either Mario or Nina select a red marble? Choose the correct choice from the following
A) 2/4	B) 3/4	C) 1/4	D) 1/8	E) 1/16

Solution: Mario and Nina each select one marble from their respective bags.   Probability that either Mario or Nina select a red marble = Probability that Mario selects a red marble + Probability that Nina selects a red marble   Probability that either Mario or Nina select a red marble = (10/20)*(10/20) + (10/20)*(10/20) = 2*(1/4)   Probability that either Mario or Nina select a red marble = 1/2   2/4nswer would be 2/4.

If x and y are positive integers and 180x=y^3, which of the following must be an integer?
I. x/(2^2*3*5)
II. x/(2*3^2*5)
III. x/(2*3*5^2)	Choose one:
A) None
B) I only
C) II only
D) III only
E) I and II

Solution: x and y are integers and 180x=y^3 --> 180x equals to cube of an integer (y^3).   180x=2^2∗3^2∗5∗x=y^3 ,The smallest value of x for which 2^2∗3∗5∗x is a cube of an integer is when x=2∗3∗5^2.to complete powers of 2, 3 and 5 to cubes).   In this case 180x=(2^2∗3^2∗5)∗(2∗3∗5^2)=(2∗3∗5)^3=cube of an integer So x is definitely divisible by 2∗3∗5^2   Answer: III only.
Answer: D
A man can row 6.6 kmph in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of stream.
Choose the correct answer.
A) 2.2 km/hr	B) 12.5 km/hr	C) 1 2.6 km/hr	D) 22.5 km/hr	E) 22.6 km/hr

Solution: Given that, time taken to travel upstream = 2 × time taken to travel downstream   When distance is constant, speed is inversely proportional to the time   Hence, 2 × speed upstream = speed downstream   Let speed upstream = x   Then speed downstream = 2x   we have, 1/2(x+2x) = speed in still water   ⇒1/2(3x)=6.6   3x = 13.2   x = 4.4   i.e., speed upstream = 4.4 km/hr   Rate of stream = 1/2(2x−x)=x/2=4.4/2= 
4.4/2 = 2.2
2.2 km/hr   2.2 km/hrnswer is 2.2 km/hr

m and n are the x and y coordinates, respectively, of a point in the coordinate plane. If the points (m, n) and (m + p, n + 4) both lie on the line defined by the equation x = (y/2) - (2/5), what is the value of p?
Options:
A) 4/5  B) 1  C) 2  D) 5  E) 8

Solution: (m,n)   m = x   n = y   m = n/2 - 2/5   10m = 5n - 4 (multiplied by 10 to simplify equation)   (m+p, n+4)   m + p = x   n + 4 = y   m+p = (n+4)/2 - 2/5   multiplied by 10 again   10m + 10P = 5n + 20 - 4   use both equations to solve for p and you get 10p = 20   p = 2   ANSWER:2

In a race of 1000 m, A can beat by 100 m, in a race of 800m, B can beat C by 100m. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 600 m?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 128.5 m	B) 127.5 m	C) 127.7 m	D) 127.9 m	E) 227.5 m

Solution: When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m.   When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs   = (900 * 700)/800 = 6300/8= 
6300/8 = 1_575/2 = around 787.5
787.5 m.   In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by   (1000 - 787.5)= 
  (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5
212.5 m to C.   In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C= (600 * 212.5)/1000= 
(600 * 212.5)/1000 = 127.5
127.5 m.   Answer:127.5 m

What are the last two digits of (301*402*503*604*646*547*449*349)^2  Options
A) 96  B) 76  C) 56  D) 36  E) 24

Solution: ((301*402*503*604*646)*(547*449*349))^2   If you observe above digits, last digit are: 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,9; 5&9 are missing; so I have rearranged them so that multiplication will be easy for me as initial 4 digits have last two digits as 01,02,03,04,46 and final three as 47*49*49.   Solving for only last two digits and multiplying them we get:( (06*04*46)(47*01))^2 = (44*47)^2=68^2=24   Hence answer is 24

In a new housing development, trees are to be planted along the sidewalk of a certain street. Each tree takes up one square foot of sidewalk space, and there are to be 12 feet between each tree. How many trees can be planted if the road is 157 feet long?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 8  B) 9  C) 10  D) 11  E) 13

Solution: Let T be the number of trees. Then the length required for trees on the sidewalk will be 1*T= T   To maximize the number of trees, the number of 12 feet spaces between trees should be 1 less than total number of trees.   For example, If there are 3 trees, then there should be 2 spaces between them.   So the number of 12 feet spaces will be T-1. Then, the length of sidewalk required for 12 feet spaces will be 12*(T-1)   It is given that total lenght of sidewalk is 157 feet.   or 12(T-1)+T = 157   or 12T-12+T = 157   or 13T = 169   or T=13   Answer:- 13

C) 3. 45!/20!25!
D) 4. 110!50!60!/40!45!
E) 5. 110!/40!45!

Solution: 70 passengers,30 in the upper deck and 40 in the lower deck.   25 passengers have issues as 15 refuse to be in the upper deck while 10 others refuse to be in the lower deck   So those 15 will be put in lower deck and 10 will be in upper deck   So from the rest 45 passengers(70-25), we need to find 20 people to put into upper deck and the rest go to lower deck   So the ways are: C(45,20) = 45!/20!25! . Answer 3. 45!/20!25!

A) 89  B) 20  C) 36  D) 88  E) 34

Solution: Speed of train relative to jogger = 45 - 9= 
45 - 9 = 36
36 km/hr.= 36 * 5/18= 
36 * 5/18 = 10
10 m/sec.   Distance to be covered= 240 + 120= 
240 + 120 = 360
360 m.   Time taken= 360/10= 
360/10 = 36
36 sec.   Answer: Option 36

A rectangular courtyard 3.78 meters long 5.25 meters wide is to be paved exactly with square tiles, all of the same size. what is the largest size of the tile which could be used for the purpose?  Pick:
A) 33	B) 21	C) 88	D) 77	E) 99

Solution: 3.78 meters =378 cm = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7   5.25 meters=525 cm = 5 × 5 × 3 × 7   Hence common factors are 3 and 7   Hence LCM = 3 × 7 = 21   Hence largest size of square tiles that can be paved exactly with square tiles is 21 cm.   Answer: 21

A woman invested $1,000, part at 5% and the rest at 6%. Her total investment with interest at the end of the year was $1,052. How much did she invest at 5%?	Pick:
A) $500
B) $600
C) $700
D) $800
E) $950

Solution: et x be the portion invested at 5% and   Let (1-x) be the rest which is invested at 6%   The question states that the return after 1 year is (1052/1000)-1= 
(1052/1000)-1 = 13/250 = around 0.052
0.052= 5.2%   We want to find the dollar amount invested in X   Using our defined variables, put together the equation and solve for x (the percentage of 1000 invested at 5%)   0.05x+0.06(1-x)= 0.052   (0.05)x +0.06 - (0.06)x = 0.052   -0.01x = -0.008   x= -0.008/-0.01 = 8/10 = 80%   So X = 80% of the 1000 which is 800   ANSWER:$800
Answer: D
If the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon measures up to 1440 degrees, then how many sides does the polygon have?	Choose the correct answer.
A) 10
B) 16
C) 12
D) 11
E) 14

Solution: one of the interior angle = 180 - 360/n   sum of the interior angles is = n (180 - 360/n)   given   n(180 - 360/n)=1440   180n - 360 = 1440   180n = 1800   n = 1800/180= 
1800/180 = 10

Disha drives a car at an average speed of 48 km/h and reach her destination in 6 hours. Himanshu covers that distance in 4 hours. If Disha increases her average speed by 8 km/h and Himanshu increases his average speed by 4 km/h, then what will be the difference in time taken by them to reach their destination?
Pick
A) 1 47/133 hr	B) 1 41/133 hr	C) 2 47/133 hr	D) 1 40/133 hr	E) 1 45/133 hr

Solution: 48=d/6   therefore, distance(d)=288km   himanshu's speed=288/4= 
288/4 = 72
72kmph   then, disha's speed=48+8= 
48+8 = 56
56kmph   disha's time=288/56=5.143hr   then, himanshu's speed=72+4= 
72+4 = 76
76kmph   himanshu's time=288/76=3.789hr   difference in time=5.143-3.789= 
5.143-3.789 = 1.354
