now lets look at the choices..
when x=y, it will be 0... so ok...
when we put xy=y, it is possible when x=1 and y any integer... so ok again
when we put x=x+y.... only possibility when y=0 and it is given x and y cannot be 0....so not possible
only l and ll possible ans B....
Question: Carl is facing very difficult financial times and can only pay the interest on a $10,000 loan he has taken. The bank charges him a quarterly compound rate of 4%. What is the approximate interest he pays annually?
A.$1600
B.$2000
C.$2150
D.$2500
Answer: A.$1600
Explanation: Usually, you are given the annual rate of interest and it is mentioned that it is annual rate.
The bank charges him a quarterly compounded ANNUAL rate of 16%.
Here you find per quarter rate as (16/4)% = 4%
I have actually never seen a question with quarter rate given but since this question did not mentionannual rate of interestand since the options did not make sense with 4% annual rate of interest, it is apparent that the intent was a 4% quarterly rate. So the bank charges 4% every quarter and compounds it in the next quarter. Had it been a simple quarterly rate, we would have just found 4 * 4% of 10,000 = $1600 as our answer.
But since, the interest is compounded, it will be a bit more than $1600. Option (A) looks correct.

Question: Rs. 825 becomes Rs. 956 in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest.If the rate of interest is increased by 4% ,What amount will Rs. 825 become in 3 years ?
A.Rs. 1020.80
B.Rs. 1025
C.Rs. 1055
D.Data inadequate
Answer: C.Rs. 1055
Explanation: Solution
S.I. = Rs.(956-825 )=Rs.131
Rate = (100x131/825x3) = 524/99%
New rate = (524/99 +4)% = 920/99%
New S.I. = Rs.(825 x 920/99 x 3/100) Rs. 230.
∴ New amount = Rs.(825+230)= Rs. 1055.
Answer C
Question: q is a positive integer and multiple of 2; p = 4^q, what is the remainder when p is divided by 10?
A.10
B.6
C.4
D.0
Answer: B.6
Explanation: It is essential to recognize that the remainder when an integer is divided by 10 is simply the units digit of that integer. To help see this, consider the following examples:
4/10 is 0 with a remainder of 4
14/10 is 1 with a remainder of 4
5/10 is 0 with a remainder of 5
105/10 is 10 with a remainder of 5
It is also essential to remember that the q is a positive integer and multiple of 2. Any integer that is a multiple of 2 is an even number. So, q must be a positive even integer.
With these two observations, the question can be simplified to:what is the units digit of 4 raised to an even positive integer?
The units digit of 4 raised to an integer follows a specific repeating pattern:
4^1 = 4
4^2 = 16
4^3 = 64
4^4 = 256
4^(odd number) --> units digit of 4
4^(even number) --> units digit of 6
There is a clear pattern regarding the units digit. 4 raised to any odd integer has a units digit of 4 while 4 raised to any even integer has a units digit of 6.
Since q must be an even integer, the units digit of p=4^q will always be 6. Consequently, the remainder when p=4^q is divided by 10 will always be 6.
In case this is too theoretical, consider the following examples:
q=2 --> p=4^q=16 --> p/10 = 1 with a remainder of 6
q=4 --> p=4^q=256 --> p/10 = 25 with a remainder of 6
q=6 --> p=4^q=4096 --> p/10 = 409 with a remainder of 6
q=8 --> p=4^q=65536 --> p/10 = 6553 with a remainder of 6
Answer: B.
Question: If q is the square of a positive integer, which of the following must be equal to the square of the next positive integer?
A.√n + 1
B.n + 1
C.n^2 + 1
D.q + 2√q + 1
Answer: D.q + 2√q + 1
Explanation: If q is the square of a positive integer, which of the following must be equal to the square of the next positive integer?
q = (x)^2 where x is a positive integer
To calculate -
(x+1)^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1
root(q) = x
Ans - q + 2 root(q) + 1
This should be D

Question: Mike took 5 mock tests before appearing for the GMAT. In each mock test he scored 10 points more than the previous mock test. If he scored 760 on the GMAT and his average score for the mocks and the GMAT was 716.67, what was the difference in the score of his last mock and his GMAT score?
A.20
B.32
C.40
D.50
Answer: B.32
Explanation: One way to do this would be weighted average method..
1) let the average of 5 mocks be x...
so take it as a mix of5 quantitites of xand1 quantity of 760resulting in an average of 716.67...
By alligation/weighted average..
the difference in 760 and 716.67 is 5/6 of difference of 760 and x..
760-716.67 = 5/6 * (760-x)
760-x= 43.33*6/5=52...
so x = 708..
the last of mock test will be 708+10+10=728...
so ans = 760-728=32

Answer: D.22
Explanation: it is a good Q to learn to pick up number properties in the given set, even if we do not get a Q on these line in actuals..
when we see the sequence 4, 10, x, 46, and 94, we see that each succeeding number is some value more than twice the previous number..
10=2*4+2..
x=2*10+2 = 22..
and so on..
so next number= 22

Question: As a bicycle salesperson, James earns a fixed salary of $30 per week plus $6 per bicycle for the first 6 bicycles he sells, $12 per bicycle for the next 6 bicycles he sells, and $18 per bicycle for every bicycle sold after first 12. This week, he earned more than twice as much as he did last week. If he sold x bicycles last week and y bicycles this week, which of the following statements must be true?
I. y<2x
II. y>x
III. y>3
A.I,II only
B.I only
C.II,III only
D.II only
Answer: C.II,III only
Explanation: II. y>x --> since this week, James earned more than he did last week and the total salary is in direct relationship with the # of bicycle sold, then y (# of bicycle sold this week) must be more than x (# of bicycle sold last week);
III. y>3 --> if James sold 3 bicycles this week then this week he earned 30+3*6=$48, which cannot be more than twice as much as he earned the last week, since the minimum salary is fixed to $30. So y must be more than 3;
I. y<2x --> is not always true.
Answer: C
Question: A school currently maintains a fixed number of students per class. If the ratio of students per class were to be increased by 1, 10 fewer classes would be run for a total of 120 students. What is the current ratio Q of students per class?
A.Q=3
B.Q=4
C.6
D.8
Answer: A.Q=3
Explanation: Another way to look at the problem...
Since the total is 120, RATIO * CLASSES = R*C = 120.....(i)
we are looking where ratio increases by 1 and # of classes decreases by 10 = (R+1)(C-10) = RC+C-10R-10=120....(ii)
(ii)-(i)....
C=10R+10 = 10(R+1).......
so # of classes has to be multiple of 10
AS RC=120.... 10(R+1)*R = 120...................R(R+1) = 12..
so 12 is a multiple of consecutive numbers ONLY 3 *4 fits in..... and R=3

Question: In a new housing development, trees are to be planted along the sidewalk of a certain street. Each tree takes up one square foot of sidewalk space, and there are to be 20 feet between each tree. How many trees can be planted if the road is 148 feet long?
A.8
B.9
C.10
D.11
Answer: A.8
Explanation: Let T be the number of trees. Then the length required for trees on the sidewalk will be 1*T= T
To maximize the number of trees, the number of 20 feet spaces between trees should be 1 less than total number of trees.
For example, If there are 3 trees, then there should be 2 spaces between them.
So the number of 20 feet spaces will be T-1. Then, the length of sidewalk required for 20 feet spaces will be 20*(T-1)
It is given that total length of sidewalk is 148 feet.
or 20(T-1)+T = 148
or 20T-20+T = 148
or 21T = 168
or T=8

Question: Suppose a, b, and c are positive integers with a < b < c such that
1/a
+
1/b
+
1/c
= 1. What is
a + b + c?
A.1
B.4
C.9
D.11
Answer: D.11
Explanation: First note that we must have 1/a < 1, so a > 1. Since 1/a > 1/b > 1/c, we
must also have 1/a > 1/3; so a < 3. Thus, a/ 2. Now 1/b + 1/c = 1/2 where 2 < b < c.
Similar to before, 1/b > 1/4, so b < 4. Thus, b = 3. With a = 2 and b = 3 we have
1/2+1/3+1/c = 1, which is satisfied when c = 6. To conclude, a+b+c = 2+3+6 = 11.
correct answer D

Question: A person can walk at a constant rate of 8mph and can bike at a rate of 16mph. If he wants to travel 64 miles in 8 hours using bike and walking at their constant rates, how much distance would he require to walk?
A.20
B.30
C.48
D.64
Answer: D.64
Explanation: Total distance = 64
Distance = Speed * Time
Walking speed = s1 = 8
Walking time = t1
Bike speed = s2 = 16
Time traveled in bike = t2
d1 + d2 = 64
s1t1 + s2t2 = 64
8*t1 + 16*t2 = 64
t1 + 2*t2 = 8 ----- (1)
Given: t1 + t2 = 8 ----- (2)
(1) - (2) --> t2 = 0 and t1 = 8 - 0 = 8
Walking distance = s1*t1 = 8*8 = 64

Total # of ways 3 persons C1C1, C2C2 and SS to be seated in a row of 5 seats is 5!2!=605!2!=60. Consider this, we are interested in arrangement of C1, C2, S, E, EC1, C2, S, E, E, so in arrangement of 5 letters out of which 2 E's are identical (E denotes an empty seat);
# of ways for a couple to sit together is 4!2!∗2=244!2!∗2=24. Consider a couple as a single unit: {C1,C2}, S, E, E{C1,C2}, S, E, E, so we have total of 4 units out of which 2 E's are identical, # of arrangement of these units is 4!2!4!2!, but C1C1, C2C2 within their unit can be arranged in 2 ways ({C1,C2}{C1,C2} or {C2,C1}{C2,C1}), so total # of arrangement for this case is 4!2!∗2=244!2!∗2=24;
P=1−2460=35P=1−2460=35.

Question: In a recent survey at a local deli, it was observed that 3 out of 5 customers bought a bagel and 5 out of 7 customers bought a coffee. Some customers bought both. If 8 customers are selected, what are the chances that at least 1 customer bought a coffee and a bagel?
A.27/343
B.3/7
C.27/125
D.199/245
Answer: D.199/245
Explanation: Let us take 7*5=35 as the total number of customers. So 7*3=21 customers bought a bagel and 5*5=25 customers bought a coffee.
chances that at least 1 customer bought a coffee and a bagel = 1 - chances that no customer bought a coffee and a bagel
chances that no customer bought a coffee and a bagel=24/35*23/34*22/33*21/32*20/31*19/30*18/29*17/28=46/245
chances that at least 1 customer bought a coffee and a bagel= 1 - 46/245 = 199/245
Answer D.
Question: |x+3| – |4-x| = |8+x| How many S solutions will this equation have?
A.0
B.1
C.2
D.3
Answer: A.0
Explanation: |x| = x when x >= 0 (x is either positive or 0)
|x| = -x when x < 0 (note here that you can put the equal to sign here as well x <= 0 because if x = 0,
|0| = 0 = -0 (all are the same)
So the '=' sign can be put with x > 0 or with x < 0. We usually put it with 'x > 0' for consistency.A
Question: The output of a factory was increased by 10% to keep up with rising demand. To handle the holiday rush, this new output was increased by 20%. By approximately what percent would the output now have to be decreased in order to restore the original output?
A.20%
B.24%
C.30%
D.32%
Answer: B.24%
Explanation: Let initial output is O then after 10% increase it will be 1.1O and after 20% increase on this new output the latest output will be 1.1O * 1.20 = 1.32O
Now we have to decrease the output by some percentage so that the new output is same as the starting output (O)
so, 1.32O * (1-x/100) = O
=> x = 24.24%
So, answer will be B
Question: The cost of painting the whole surface area of a cube at the rate of 13 paise per Sq.cm is Rs. 343.98. Then the volume of the cube is
A.8500 cm3
B.9000 cm3
C.9250 cm3
D.9261 cm3
Answer: D.9261 cm3
Explanation: Solution
Surface area	= (34398 / 13)
‹=›2646cm3
‹=›6a2= 2646
‹=›a2= 441
‹=›a = 21.
So,volume =(21x21x21)cm3= 9261cm3.
Answer D
Question: A man sold 20 articles for $60 and gained 20%. How many articles should he sell for $50 to incur a loss 20%?
A.25
B.36
C.40
D.50
Answer: A.25
Explanation: Production cost per article: $60*(100%-20%) / 20 = $2.40
Required production costs for a loss of 20%: $50*(100% + 20%) = $60
Number of articles to be sold for $60 to incur a 20% loss: $60 / $2.40 = 25
Thus, solution A is correct.
Question: A man invests some money partly in 9% stock at 96 and partly in 12% stock at 120. To obtain equal dividends from both, he must invest the money in the ratio:
A.3:5
B.2:1
C.16:15
D.4:5
Answer: C.16:15
Explanation: Explanation:
For an income of Re. 1 in 9% stock at 96, investment = Rs. 96/9 = Rs.32/3
For an income Re. 1 in 12% stock at 120, investment = Rs. 120/12 = Rs. 10.
Ratio of investments =(32/3) : 10 = 32 : 30 = 16 : 15.
Answer: C
Question: A, B, C rent a pasture. A puts 10 oxen for 7 months, B puts 12 oxen for 5 months and C puts 15 oxen for 3 months for grazing. If the rent of the pasture is Rs. 175, how much must C pay as his share of rent?
A.Rs. 45
B.Rs. 50
C.Rs. 55
D.Rs. 60
Answer: A.Rs. 45
Explanation: Explanation:
A : B : C = (10 x 7) : (12 x 5) : (15 x 3) = 70 : 60 : 45 = 14 : 12 : 9.
C's rent = Rs.(175 x	9/35)= Rs. 45.
