There are 8 stores in town that had a total of 24 visitors on a particular day. However, only 12 people went shopping that day; some people visited more than one store. If 9 people visited exactly two stores each, and everyone visited at least one store, what is the largest number of stores anyone could have visited?
Pick one.
A) 2  B) 3  C) 4  D) 5  E) 6

Solution: 9 people visited 2 stores each for 18 visits.   To maximize the number of stores that one person visited, let's assume that 2 people visited 1 store each. The number of remaining visits is   24 - 18 - 2= 
  24 - 18 - 2 = 4
4, which is the maximum that one person could have visited.   The answer is 4.

How many natural numbers are there between 43 and 200 which are exactly divisible by 6?
Select
A) 28 B) 26 C) 24 D) 22 E) 21

Solution: Explanation :   43/6 = 7, remainder = 1. Hence 5 more should be added to 43 to get the minimum   number divisible by 6 between 43 and 200.   => Minimum number divisible by 6 between 43 and 200 = 43 + 5= 
43 + 5 = 48
48   200/6= 33, remainder = 2. Hence 2 should be decreased from 200 to get the maximum   number divisible by 6 between 43 and 200.   => Maximum number divisible by 6 between 43 and 200 = 200 - 2= 
200 - 2 = 198
198   Hence, natural numbers numbers divisible by 6 between 43 and 200 are 48, 54, 60,...198   This is Arithmetic Progression with a= 48, d = 6, l=198   Number of terms = (l − a)/d + 1 = (198 − 48)/6 + 1 = 150/6 + 1 = 25 + 1= 
25 + 1 = 26

Jack and Christina are standing 360 feet apart on a level surface. Their dog, Lindy, is standing next to Christina. At the same time, they all begin moving toward each other. Jack walks in a straight line toward Christina at a constant speed of 5 feet per second and Christina walks in a straight line toward Jack at a constant speed of 7 feet per second. Lindy runs at a constant speed of 12 feet per second from Christina to Jack, back to Christina, back to Jack, and so forth. What is the total distance, in feet, that Lindy has traveled when the three meet at one place?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 270 B) 300 C) 330 D) 360 E) 390

Solution: The relative speed of Jack and Christina is 5+ 7= 
5+ 7 = 12
12 feet per second.   The distance between them is 210 feet, hence they will meet in (time)= (distance)/(relative speed) = 360/12= 
360/12 = 30
30 seconds.   For all this time Lindy was running back and forth, so it covered (distance)= (speed)*(time) = 12*30= 
12*30 = 360
360 feet.   Answer: 360.

Solution: x*y = constt.   Let x = y = 100 in beginning   i.e. x*y = 100*100= 
100*100 = 10_000
10000   x (100) ---becomes---> 1.4x (140)   i.e. 140*New 'y'= 10000   i.e. New 'y' = 10000/140 = 71.43   i.e. y decreases from 100 to 71.43 i.e. Decrease of 28.57%   28.57%

M is the sum of the reciprocals of the consecutive integers from 301 to 400, inclusive. Which of the following is true? Choose the correct answer
A) 1/3 < M < 1/2	B) 1/5 < M < 1/3	C) 1/7 < M < 1/5	D) 1/9 < M < 1/7	E) 1/4< M < 1/3

Solution: M = 1/301 + 1/302 + 1/303 + ...... + 1/400   If we replace the first 99 terms by 1/400, then we get a sum = 100/400 = 1/4. Since the actual terms are larger than 1/400, the sum is larger than 1/4.   If we replace the all the 100 terms by 1/300, we get a sum = 100/300 = 1/3. Since the actual terms are smaller than 1/200, the sum is less than 1/3.   Therefore 1/4 < M < 1/3   Choice 1/4< M < 1/3

The average height of 35 boys in a class was calculated as 180cm. It has later found that the height of one of the boys in the class was wrongly written as 166 cm whereas his actual height was 106 cm. Find the actual average height of the boys in the class (Round off your answer to two decimal places)?  Answers:
A) 178.88
B) 178.29
C) 188.29
D) 178.2
E) 178.12

Solution: Calculated average height of 35 boys = 180 cm.   Wrong total height of 35 boys = 180 * 35 cm. This was as a result of an actual height of 106 cm being wrongly written as 166 cm. Correct total height of 35 boys = 180 * 35 cm - 166 cm + 106 cm   = 180 * 35 cm - 166 cm + 106 cm/35   = 180 cm - 60 /35 cm   = 180 cm - 1.71 cm   = 178.29 cm.   Answer:178.29

A) 20
B) 18
C) 16
D) 15
E) 15.39

Solution: Actually u can set up 2 equation   P--stands for the pages   D--stands for the days   1) P*D=480 (we want to find the Days, soP=480/D)   2) (P+15)(D-5)=1000=> PD-5P+15D-75=1000   as the 1) stated u can put 1) into 2)   => 1000-5P+15D-75=1000 => 15D-5P=75   put the bold one into it => 15D-5(480/D)=75the we get the final equation 16D^2-2400=80D (divide 16)   => D^2-5D-160=0   so D=15.39days.

Harold works at a resort from the beginning of March to the end of September. During the month of August this past year, he made 7 times the average (arithmetic mean) of his monthly totals in tips for the other months. His total tips for August were what fraction of his total tips for all of the months he worked? Select the correct option
A) 1/3	B) 2/5	C) 3/7	D) 1/2	E) 7/13

Solution: The time from beginning of March to the end of September is 7 months.   If x is the average monthly tip for all months other than August then his August month tip will be 7*x   His total tip for the 7 months = 6*(average tip for the months other than August) + 7x   =13x   August tips as a fraction of total tips = 7x/13x =7/13. So 7/13
