A bag contains 3 red and 3 green balls. Another bag contains 4 red and 6 green balls. If one ball is drawn from each bag. Find the probability that one ball is red and one is green.  Choose the correct choice from the following:	A) 19/20	B) 17/20	C) 21/40	D) 7/10	E) 9/40

Solution: Let A be the event that ball selected from the first bag is red and ball selected from second bag is green.   Let B be the event that ball selected from the first bag is green and ball selected from second bag is red.   P(A) = (1/2) x (6/10) = 3/10.   P(B) = (1/2) x (4/10) = 1/5.   Hence, the required probability is P(A) + P(B) which is nothing but 7/10   ANSWER:7/10

In the sequence S, each term after the first is twice the previous term. If the first term of sequence S is 3, what is the sum of the 14th, 15th, 16 and 17th terms in sequence S? Choose the correct option.
A) 3(2^16) B) 9(2^15) C) 21(2^14) D) 9(2^14) E) 45(2^13)

Solution: The terms in the sequence can be shown as   a(n) = 2^(n-1)* a   So, the sequence will look like: 3, 2*3, (2^2) *3,...   And the nth term will be given as 2^(n-1) *3   Therefore, a(14) = (2^13)*3, a(15) = (2^14) *3, a(16) = (2^15) *3 and a(17) = (2^16) *3   So, a(14) + a(15) + a(16)+a(17)= (2^13) *3 + (2^14) *3 + (2^15) *3+ (2^16) *3   = 3* (2^13) *(1+2+4+8) = 3* (2^13) *15   = 45 * (2^13)   Answer : 45(2^13)

Otto and Han are driving at constant speeds in opposite directions on a straight highway. At a certain time they are driving toward each other and are 20 miles apart. One and a half hours later, they are again 20 miles apart, driving away from each other. If Otto drives at a speed of x miles per hour, then, in terms of x, Han drives at a speed of how many miles per hour?  Choose the correct choice.
A) a) 80-x B) b) 40-x C) c) 26.67-x D) d) 120-x E) e) 40-x/2

Solution: Let's say the two cars have speeds V1 and V2. The fact that they are moving in opposite direction means that their relative speed is (V1 + V2). In other words, any gap between them will be changing in size at a rate of (V1 + V2). It doesn't matter whether they are moving toward each other or away from each other. If they are approaching each other, the gap between them is decreasing at a rate of (V1 + V2). If they are moving away from each other, the gap between them is increasing at a rate of (V1 + V2). Either way, the number for the rate of change remains the same.   Here, the two cars approach a distance 20 mi, then move away from each other another distance of 20 miles. That's a total distance of 40 miles in 1.5 hr, which gives a rate of:   R = (40 mi)/(1.5) = 26.67 mph   That's the rate of change of the gap, so it must equal the sum of the speeds of the two cars.   One of the speeds is x, and let's call the other y. We want y.   x + y = 26.67   y = 26.67 - x   Answer =(c) 26.67-x)

Answer: D
Jadeja has x dollars more than Sharma has, and together they have a total of y dollars. Which of the following represents the number of dollars that Sharma has?
Choices
A) 3(y – x)/2	B) 5(y – x)/2	C) (y – x)/5	D) (y – x)/2	E) (y – x)/6

Solution: To solve, we will set up two equations. Let's start by defining two variables.   A = number of dollars Sharma has   B= number of dollars Jadeja has   We are given that Jadeja has x dollars more than Sharma. We set up an equation:   B= x + A   We are next given that together they have a total of y dollars. We can set up our second equation:   A + B = y   Since we know that B = x + A, we can substitute x + A for B into the second equation A+ B = y.   Notice that, after the substitution, we will only have variables of A, x, and y. Thus, we have:   A + x + A = y   2A + x = y   2A = y – x   A = (y – x)/2   Answer : (y – x)/2
Answer: D
The number of people who purchased book A is twice the number of people who purchased book B. The number of people who purchased both books A and B is 500, which is twice the number of people who purchased only book B. What is the number of people Z who purchased only book A?
Select.
A) 250
B) 500
C) 750
D) 1000
E) 1500

Solution: This is best solved using overlapping sets or a Venn Diagram. We know that A = 2B, and that 500 people purchased both A and B. Further, those purchasing both was double those purchasing B only. This gives us 250 people purchasing B only. With the 500 that pruchased both, we have a total of 750 that purchased B and this is 1/2 of those that purchased A. So, 1500 purchased A. Less the 500 that purchased both, Z=1000 purchased A only. (This is much simpler to solve using the Venn diagram).   Correct answer is D. 1000

A furniture dealer purchased a desk for $150 and then set the selling price equal to the purchase price plus a markup that was 20% of the selling price. If the dealer sold the desk at the selling price, what was the amount of the dealer's gross profit from the purchase and the sale of the desk?	Pick one:
A) 45%
B) 40%
C) 35%
D) 30%
E) 25%

Solution: Anyway, in this question, there is no discount but the mark up is given as 40% of the selling price. So it is not 20% of $150 but instead, 20% of Selling price which is obtained by adding mark up to $150.   So if selling price is S,   150 + 20% of S = S   S = 150/0.8   Profit = 150/0.8-150= which is calculated on cost price in % terms. So  37.5/150 * 100= 
 37.5/150 * 100 = 25
25% is profit.   25%

Answer: C
On a scale that measures the intensity of a certain phenomenon, a reading of g+1 corresponds to an intensity that is 10 times the intensity corresponding to a reading of g. On that scale, the intensity corresponding to a reading of 8 is how many times as great as the intensity corresponding to a reading of 3? Choices.
A) 5  B) 50  C) 10^5  D) 5^10  E) 8^10 - 3^10

Solution: To solve this problem we need to examine the information in the first sentence. We are told that “a reading of g + 1 corresponds to an intensity that is 10 times the intensity corresponding to a reading of g.”   Let’s practice this idea with some real numbers. Let’s say g is 2. This means that g + 1 = 3. With the information we were given we can say that a reading of 3 is ten times as great as the intensity of a reading of 2.   Furthermore, we can say that a reading of 4 is actually 10 x 10 = 10^2 times as great as the intensity of a reading of 2.   Increasing one more unit, we can say that a reading of 5 is 10 x 10 x 10 = 10^3 times as great as the intensity of a reading of 2.   We have found a pattern, which can be applied to the problem presented in the stem:   3 is “one” unit away from 2, and thus a reading of 3 is 10^1 times as great as the intensity of a reading of 2.   4 is “two” units away from 2, and thus a reading of 4 is 10^2 times as great as the intensity of a reading of 2.   5 is “three” units away from 2, and thus a reading of 5 is 10^3 times as great as the intensity of a measure of 2.   We can use this pattern to easily answer the question. Here we are being asked for the number of times the intensity corresponding to a reading of 8 is as great as the intensity corresponding to a reading of 3. Because 8 is 5 units greater than 3, a reading of 8 is 10^5 times as great as the intensity corresponding to a reading of 3.   Answer 10^5.
