Which of the following could be the median of the 4 integers listed above?
I. 170
II. 210
III. 240
Choose the most appropriate option.
A) I only B) II only C) I and II only D) II and III only E) I, II, and III

Solution: If 170 is the median, (n+250) / 2 = 170. Then n = 90. But n < 140, so 170 can not be the median.   If 210 is the median, (n+250) / 2 = 210. Then n = 170. Thus 210 can be the median.   If 240 is the median, (n+250) / 2 = 240. Then n = 230. Thus 240 can be the median.   The answer is II and III only.

A) A:45  B) B:25  C) C:37.5  D) D:36  E) E:42

Solution: If you have a 37.5 liter capacity, you start with 37.5 L of A and 0 L of B.   1st Replacement   After the first replacement you have 37.5-15= 
37.5-15 = 22.5
22.5 L of A and 15 L of B. The key is figuring out how many liters of A and B, respectively, are contained in the next 15 liters of mixture to be removed.   The current ratio of A to total mixture is 22.5/37.5; expressed as a fraction this becomes (45/2) / (75/2), or 45/2 * 2/75. Canceling the 2s and factoring out a 5 leaves the ratio as 9/15. Note, no need to reduce further as we're trying to figure out the amount of A and B in 15 L of solution. 9/15 of A means there must be 6/15 of B.   Multiply each respective ratio by 15 to get 9 L of A and 6 L of B in the next 15L removal.   Final Replacement   The next 15L removal means 9 liters of A and 6 liters of B are removed and replaced with 15 liters of B. 22.5-9=13.5 liters of A. 15 liters of B - 6 liters + 15 more liters = 24 liters of B.   Test to the see if the final ratio = 9/16; 13.5/24 = (27/2) * (1/24) = 9/16. C:37.5hoice C:37.5 is correct.

The set S contains fractions a/b, where a and b are positive integers, which don’t share any prime factor. How many of these fractions have the following property: when both numerator and denominator are increased by 1, the value of fraction is increased by 10%?  Choose the correct choice.
A) 0  B) 1  C) 2  D) 3  E) 4

Solution: he fraction with 1 added to the numerator & denominator is 10% larger than the original. A 10% increase is equivalent to multiplying by the multiplier 1.1 or 11/10. Thus   a+1/b+1=11/10×a/b   Now, cross multiply   10ab + 10 b = 11ab + 11a   10 b = 1ab + 11a   Divide by b.   10=a+11 a/b   10−a/11=a/b   From here, it's obvious that b has to have a factor of 11 in it, so I just said: let b = 11. Then (10 - a) = a, so a = 5, and we get the fraction   a/b=5/11   When we add 1 to the numerator and denominator, we get 6/12 = 1/2, which is 10% greater than 5/11.   The question demands that x and y should have no common factors except 1, so they are co-prime. From that list only on pair is co-prime   .   ANSWER:1

A) -7  B) -4  C) -3  D) 1  E) -10

Solution: The phrase “7 is one solution of the equation” means that one value of x is 7. Thus, we first must plug 7 for x into the given equation to determine the value of k. So we have   7^2 + (3)(7) + k = 10   49 + 21 + k = 10   70 + k = 10   k = -60   Next we plug -60 into the given equation for k and then solve for x.   x^2 + 3x – 60 = 10   x^2 + 3x – 70 = 0   (x+10)(x-7) = 0   x = -10 or x = 7   Thus, -10 is the other solution. Answer -10.

Two integers will be randomly selected from sets A and B, one integer from set A and one from set B, and then multiplied together. How many different products can be obtained?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 15
B) 16
C) 19
D) 20
E) 36

Solution: By looking at Set A, we can see that it's all primes. Thus, we should immediately break down the elements in Set B to their prime factors. That gives :   Set A = {2,3,5,7,11}   Set B = {2, 2x2, 3x2, 13}   Apart from 2x3x2 (taking 2 from set A) which is the same as 3x2x2(taking 3 from set A); there is nothing which can be repeated. Thus, the total unique product = 20-1 = 36.   36
