How many positive integers less than 8,000 are there in which the sum of the digits equals 5? Pick: A) 57 B) 56 C) 55 D) 54 E) 53

Basically, the question asks how many 4 digit numbers (including those in the form 0XXX, 00XX, and 000X) have digits which add up to 5. Think about the question this way: we know that there is a total of 5 to be spread among the 4 digits, we just have to determine the number of ways it can be spread. Let X represent a sum of 1, and | represent a seperator between two digits. As a result, we will have 5 X's (digits add up to the 5), and 3 |'s (3 digit seperators). So, for example: XX|X|X|X = 2111 ||XXX|XX = 0032 etc. There are 8C3 ways to determine where to place the separators. Hence, the answer is 8C3 = 56. 56 <result>B</result>

Options: A) 39 B) 72 C) 81 D) 108 E) 55

Explanation : We need to find out numbers less than 500, with sum of digits as 9. We know that a number will be divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. For eg : 18 has sum of digits 9. 198 has sum of digits 18, which has its sum of digits 9. So, we need to find numbers less than 500 which are divisible by 9, or are multiples of 9 i.e 500/9 is 55.5555. Hence, there are 55 numbers which are multiples of 9 less than 500.

Let us factorize the denominator and rewrite the expression as (x−3)/((x−10)(x+2))&gt; 0 Equate each of the terms of the expression to zero to identify the values of x that are relevant to test whether the inequality holds good. The values that are relevant to us are x = 3, x = 10 and x = -2. Let us arrange these values in ascending order: -2, 3 and 10. The quickest way to solve inequalities questions after arriving at these values is verifying whether the inequality holds good at the following intervals. Interval 1: x &lt; -2. Pick a value in that range and check whether the inequality holds good. Let us take x = -10. When x = -10, (x−3)/((x−10)(x+2))&lt; 0; the inequality DOES NOT hold good in this interval. Interval 2: -2 &lt; x &lt; 3. Let us take x = 0. When x = 0, (x−3)/((x−10)(x+2)) = (0−3)/((0−10)(0+2)) &gt; 0; the inequality holds good in this interval.

A man has $ 10,000 to invest. He invests $ 4000 at 5 % and $ 3500 at 4 %. In order to have a yearly income of $ 500, he must invest the remainder at: Choose the correct answer: A) 4.6% B) 3.6% C) 6.4% D) 7.8% E) 8.9%

C 6.4% Income from $ 4000 at 5 % in one year = $ 4000 of 5 %. = $ 4000 × 5/100. = $ 4000 × 0.05. = $ 200. Income from $ 3500 at 4 % in one year = $ 3500 of 4 %. = $ 3500 × 4/100. = $ 3500 × 0.04. = $ 140. Total income from 4000 at 5 % and 3500 at 4 % = $ 200 + $ 140 = $ 340. Remaining income amount in order to have a yearly income of $ 500 = $ 500 - $ 340. = $ 160. Total invested amount = $ 4000 + $ 3500 = $7500. Remaining invest amount = $ 10000 - $ 7500 = $ 2500. We know that, Interest = Principal × Rate × Time Interest = $ 160, Principal = $ 2500, Rate = r [we need to find the value of r], Time = 1 year. 160 = 2500 × r × 1. 160 = 2500r 160/2500 = 2500r/2500 [divide both sides by 2500] 0.064 = r r = 0.064 6.4%hange it to a percent by moving the decimal to the right two places r = 6.4 % Therefore, he invested the remaining amount $ 2500 at 6.4 % in order to get $ 500 income every year. <result>C</result>

To ensure each of the visitors receive an equal amount of pizza with none leftover, which of the following combinations are possible? Choose the correct choice from the following answers: A) 1 Small and 1 Large B) 4 Small and 1 Medium C) 2 Small and 4 Medium D) 4 Medium and 1 Large E) 1 Medium and 3 Large

There are 12 total customers (Lisa, 2 daughters, and 9 friends) The correct combination must be divisible by 12 with no remainder. A= 14 Slices (1 slice per guest with 2 slices leftover) B= 22 Slices (1 Medium and 3 Largeach kid would have 2 slices, but Lisa would have none) C= 32 Slices (8 visitors would have 3 slices, but 4 visitors would only have 2) D= 34 Slices (10 Visitors would have 3 slices, but 2 visitors would only have 2) 1 Medium and 3 Large= 36 Slices (1 Medium and 3 Largeach visitor would have 3 slices, with nothing leftover) *Correct Answer* The Correct Answer is 1 Medium and 3 Large <result>E</result>

If s,u, and v are positive integers and 2s=2u+2v, which of the following must be true? i. s=0 ii. u is not equal to v iii.u > v Choose one: A) None B) I only C) II only D) III only E) II and III

Notice two things: 1. we are asked to find out which of the following MUST be true, not COULD be true and 2. s, u, and v are positive integers. Given: 2s=2u+2v --&gt; s=u+v. Now, since s, u, and v are positive integers then s is more than either u or v, so I is never true and III is always true. As for II: it's not necessarily true, for example 4=2+2. . Nonenswer: None <result>A</result>

Which of the following equations describes a line that is perpendicular to y = x/2 + 6? Choose the correct answer. A) y = x − 6 B) y = −1 − 2x C) y = -3x D) y = 6x-1 E) y = 1/x + 6

Two perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse reciprocals of each other. The slope of y = x/2 + 6 is 1/2 so the slope of a perpendicular line will be -2. The answer is y = −1 − 2x. <result>B</result>

A 10-by-7 inch piece of paper is used to form the lateral surface of a cylinder. If the entire piece of paper is used to make the lateral surface, which of the following must be true of the two possible cylinders that can be formed? Choose the correct choice. A) The volume of the cylinder with height 10 is 70/pi cubic inches greater than the volume of the cylinder with height 6. B) The volume of the cylinder with height 7 is 70/pi cubic inches greater than the volume of the cylinder with height 10. C) The volume of the cylinder with height 10 is 70pi cubic inches greater than the volume of the cylinder with height 6. D) The volume of the cylinder with height 7 is 70pi cubic inches greater than the volume of the cylinder with height 10. E) The volume of the cylinder with height 6 is 240/pi cubic inches greater than the volume of the cylinder with height 10.

Pretty straightforward. Plug in the values to compute the volume of the cylinder. Keep in mind 7 and 10 are the circumference of the base and not the radius. The volume of the cylinder with height 7 is 70/pi cubic inches greater than the volume of the cylinder with height 10. is the right answer. <result>B</result>

Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 638 per week by their employer. If X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week? Pick: A) s.250 B) s.280 C) s.290 D) s.299 E) s.300

Let the amount paid to X per week = x and the amount paid to Y per week = y Then x + y = 638 But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10 ∴12y/10 + y = 638 ⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 638 ⇒ 22y/10 = 638 ⇒ 22y = 6380 ⇒ y = 6380/22 = 580/2 = Rs.290 s.290 <result>C</result>
