A) 12  B) 15  C) 18  D) 20  E) 25

Solution: This is a very specific format that has appeared in a handful of real GMAT questions, and you may wish to learn to recognize it: here we have a *fixed* distance, and we are given the difference between the times and speeds of two things that have traveled that distance. This is one of the very small number of question formats where backsolving is typically easier than solving directly, since the direct approach normally produces a quadratic equation.   Say Team Q's speed was s. Then Team Q's time is 300/s.   Team A's speed was then s+5, and Team A's time was then 300/(s+5).   We need to find an answer choice for s so that the time of Team A is 3 less than the time of Team Q. That is, we need an answer choice so that 300/(s+5) = (300/s) - 3. You can now immediately use number properties to zero in on promising answer choices: the times in these questions will always work out to be integers, and we need to divide 300 by s, and by s+5. So we want an answer choice s which is a factor of 300, and for which s+5 is also a factor of 300. So you can rule out answers A and C immediately, since s+5 won't be a divisor of 300 in those cases (sometimes using number properties you get to the correct answer without doing any other work, but unfortunately that's not the case here). Testing the other answer choices, if you try answer 20, you find the time for Team Q is 15 hours, and for Team A is 12 hours, and since these differ by 3, as desired, 20 is correct.
Answer: D
A triangle has two angles with ratio of 4:3, and the third angle is the sum of the first two. Find the smallest angle of the triangle in degrees. Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 130/11	B) 270/7	C) 270/11	D) 310/7	E) 35

Solution: The angles are 4x, 3x, and (4x+3x) = 7x for some value x   the three angles of a triangle add up to 180, so   4x+3x+7x  (4 +3 )= 
  (4 +3 ) = 7
7x for some value x   the three angles of a triangle add up to 180, so   4x+3x+7x=180   14x=180   x=180/14   x=90/7   the smallest angle is 3x = 3*(90/7) = 270/7   270/7

Kumar’s age after 10 years = (x + 10) years   Sailesh’s age after 10 years = (y + 10)   (x + 10) = 2 (y + 10) or, x - 2y = 10 ..(2)   Solving (1) and (2), we get x = 70 and y = 30   Kumar’s age = 70 years and Sailesh’s age = 30 years.   ANSWER:70 years
Answer: C
A cargo ship carrying four kinds of items, doohickies, geegaws, widgets, and yamyams, arrives at the port. Each item weighs 2, 11, 5, and 7 pounds, respectively, and each item is weighed as it is unloaded. If, in the middle of the unloading process, the product of the individual weights of the unloaded items equals 1,043,504,000 pounds, how many widgets have been unloaded?  Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 2 B) 3 C) 4 D) 625 E) 208,700,800

Solution: We need to know the number of widgets (which weigh 5 pounds each). The number of times that 5 divides the number is related to the number of times that 10 divides the number.   When we divide 1,043,504,000 by 1000, we get 1,043,504,000 = 1,043,504 * 5^3 *2^3.   1,043,504 is not divisible by 5, thus there are 3 widgets.   The answer is 3.

Solution: Let the five numbers be a, b, c, d, e. Then their average is (a+b+c+d+e)/5=12a+b+c=39(39+d+e)/5=1239+d+e=60d+e=21average=21/2= 
21/2 = 21/2 = around 10.5
10.5Ans 10.5
Answer: E
A cube with its sides numbered 1 through 6 is rolled twice, first landing on a and then landing on b. If any roll of the cube yields an equal chance of landing on any of the numbers 1 through 6, what is the probability E that a + b is prime?
Choices: A) 0 B) 1/12 C) 5/12 D) 7/18 E) 4/9

Solution: Total # of outcomes is 6*6= 
6*6 = 36
36;   Favorable outcomes:   a-b --> prime   1-1 --> 2;   1-2 --> 3;   2-1 --> 3;   1-4 --> 5;   4-1 --> 5;   2-3 --> 5;   3-2 --> 5;   1-6 --> 7;   6-1 --> 7;   2-5 --> 7;   5-2 --> 7;   3-4 --> 7;   4-3 --> 7;   6-5 --> 11;   5-6 --> 11.   Total of 15 favorable outcomes   E=15/36.   Answer: 5/12.
Answer: C
During a special promotion, a certain filling station is offering a 10 percent discount on gas purchased after the first 10 gallons. If Kim purchased 20 gallons of gas, and Isabella purchased 25 gallons of gas, then Isabella‟s total per-gallon discount is what percent of Kim‟s total per-gallon discount?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices:	A) 80%	B) 100%	C) 116.7%	D) 120%	E) 140%

Solution: Kim purchased 20 gallons of gas. She paid for   10 + 0.9*10= 
  10 + 0.9*10 = 19
19 gallons, so the overall discount she got was 1/20= 5%.   Isabella purchased 25 gallons of gas. She paid for   10 + 0.9*15= 
  10 + 0.9*15 = 23.5
23.5 gallons, so the overall discount she got was 1.5/25= 6%.   6 is  6/5*100= 
 6/5*100 = 120
120% of 5.   Answer: 120%.
Answer: D
A boat having a length 3 m and breadth 2 m is floating on a lake. The boat sinks by 1 cm when a man gets into it. The mass of the man is :	Pick:
A) 50 kg
B) 60 kg
C) 70 kg
D) 80 kg
E) None of these

Solution: Explanation:   In this type of question, first we will calculate the volume of water displaces then will multiply with the density of water.   Volume of water displaced = 3*2*0.01= 
3*2*0.01 = 0.06
0.06 m cube   Mass of Man= Volume of water displaced * Density of water   = 0.06 * 1000= 
0.06 * 1000 = 60
60 kg   Option 60 kg
Answer: B
X and Y run a 300m race,where X beats Y by 30m. To do a favor to Y, X starts 30m behind the starting line in a second 100m race. Both run at the same previous speed. Which of the following is true?	Pick one:
A) X Beats Y by 2m	B) X Beats Y by 0.5 m	C) X Beats Y by 4 m	D) Y Beats X by 10m	E) X Beats Y by 3 m

Solution: Let's suppose that the speed of X is 30m/s and that the speed of Y is 27m/s.   So, in the first race, the results are the following:   X crosses the finish line in 10s. In other words, X has run 300m in 10 s.   In 10s, Y has run 270 meters.   Therefore, there is the difference of 30 meters mentioned in the question.   Now, let's review the second race.   In 11 seconds, X can complete the 300 meters race. We have to remember that X is 30 meters behind the starting line.   But in 11 seconds, Y has covered (270+27)= 
(270+27) = 297
297 meters. Also, it is important to notice that in 11 seconds Y cannot arrive to the finish line.   So, 300 - 297= 3 meter   Answer: X Beats Y by 3 m
Answer: E
A boat goes 100 km downstream in 10 hours, and 60 km upstream in 15 hours. The speed of the stream is? Pick:  A) 3km/h  B) 4km/h  C) 6km/h  D) (1/2) km/h  E) E)None

Solution: 100 --- 10 DS = 10   ? ---- 1   60 ---- 15 US = 4   ? ----- 1 S = (10 - 4)/2= 
(10 - 4)/2 = 3

Answer: A
In a urban village of india named "owlna" , 70% people have refrigerator , 75% people have television , 80% people got computers and 80% got Air-conditionor. how many people(minimum) got all these luxury.
Select the correct option:
A) 23%
B) 17%
C) 11%
D) 10%
E) 15%

Solution: 10%   10%   100 - [ (100-85)+(100-80)+(100-75) +(100-70)]   =100-(15+20+25+30)   =100-90
Answer: D
A carpenter makes 6 bunk beds every day. A military school needs to organize a place to sleep for 143 soldiers. If there are 5 carpenters working on the job, how many whole days in advance should they receive the order and start working in order to finish the right number of beds assuming that each bunk- bed is used by two soldiers? Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 3.  B) 4.  C) 5.  D) 6.  E) 7.

Solution: I believe it is C because if 1C makes 3 beds in 1 day then:   1C's rate = 3/1   So 5c's = 3/1 * 5= 
3/1 * 5 = 15
15/1= 
15/1 = 15
15 beds in a day.   Since we have 173 soldiers who need beds and bunk beds come in pairs, 72 is the least amount of beds needed.   Time= Amount / Rate   Time = 72 / (15/1) = 72/15, simplifying we get 72/15 = 24/5 = 5.7   So, in order for the carpenters to be able to finish they need 5 whole days. At first I made the mistake of thinking how many whole days it took them to finish (as in ignore the partial day) but the prompt clarifiesdays in advance, meaning how many days would they need to finish so even if they finish early, theyusedthat day.   6.
