Question: An amount at compound interest sums to Rs.17640/- in 2 years and to Rs.18522/- in 3 years at the same rate of interest. Find the rate percentage?
A.5%
B.6%
C.7%
D.8%
Answer: A.5%
Explanation: The difference of two successive amounts must be the simple interest in 1 year on
the lower amount of money.
S.I = 18522/- - 17640/- = Rs. 882/-
Rate of interest = (882/17640) × (100/1) => 8820/1764 = 5%
Principal = Amount/(1 + R/100)n
= 17640/(1 + 5/100)2
= 17640/(21/20 × 21/20)
= 17640/(1.05 × 1.05)
= 17640/1.1025
= 16000
Thus the principal is Rs.16000/- and the rate of interest is 5%

Question: If the average (arithmetic mean) of 5 positive temperatures is x degrees Fahrenheit, then the sum C of the 3 greatest of these temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, could be
A.6x
B.C=4x
C.C=5x/3
D.C=3x/2
Answer: B.C=4x
Explanation: OA please. Yeah so 5x is the sum of the 5, then I guess 4x could be the answer (B)
But what about C,D,E? Any ideas why these could be wrong?
Note that we have 5 positive temperatures.
Next, as the average is x then the sum of the temperatures is 5x and as all the temperatures are positive then the sum of the 3 greatest must be more than (or equal to) 3x (as the average of the 3 greatest must be at least x) and less than 5x: 3x<SUM<5x --> only option B fits.

Question: I have a fruit basket with only apples, pears and oranges. I have as many apples in grams as pears in hectograms, and I have as many apples in hectograms and oranges in kilograms. I have a total of 60 kilograms of fruit. How many oranges in kilograms do I have?
A.5 kilograms
B.20 kilograms
C.10 kilograms
D.15 kilograms
Answer: A.5 kilograms
Explanation: Let o be the oranges’ weight in kilograms. If p is the weight of pears in kilograms, then pears are p10 hectograms. If a is apples’ weight in kilograms, then apples’ is a1000 grams. Thus,a1000 = p10Since apples is a10 hectograms,a10 = oSince apples, pears and oranges together are 60 kilograms,a + p + o = 60The above system of 3 equations in 3 unknowns (a, p and o) can be solved as follows:o / 10 +10o + o = 60 oro + 100o + 10o = 600 oro = 600 / 111 = 5 yearsAnswer = A

A.40
B.460
C.500
D.540
Answer: D.540
Explanation: Don salary 8% = 800 ; Therefore, 100% = 10000
His wife salary 8% = 840; Therefore, 100% = 10500
After raise 8%,
Don salary = 10000 + 800 = 10800
And his wife salary = 10500+ 840 = 11340
Difference = 11340 - 10800 = 540
ANSWER:D
Question: A is faster than B. A and B each walk 24 km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by them is 14 hours. Then, A's speed is equal to?
A.2 km/hr
B.3 km/hr
C.4 km/hr
D.7 km/hr
Answer: B.3 km/hr
Explanation: B
Let A's speed = x km/hr. Then, B's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.
So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14
x2 - 98x + 168 = 0
(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.
Since, A is faster than B, so A's speed = 4 km/hr and B's speed = 3 km/hr.
Question: Natasha climbs up a hill, and descends along the same way she went up. It takes her 4 hours to reach the top and 2 hours to come back down. If her average speed along the whole journey is 4 kilometers per hour, what was her average speed (in kilometers per hour) while climbing to the top?
A.2
B.2.5
C.3
D.3.25
Answer: C.3
Explanation: Let the distance to the top be x, so the total distance traveled by Natasha is 2x.
The total time is 4 + 2 = 6 hours
The average speed = total distance/total time taken = 2x/6 = x/3
The average speed of the complete journey is 4 km/hour
x/3 = 4
x = 12 km
The average speed while climbing = distance/time = 12/4 = 3 km/h

Question: A rectangular floor that measures 24 meters by 64 meters is to be covered with carpet squares that each measure 8 meters by 8 meters. If the carpet squares cost $24 apiece, what is the total cost for the number of carpet squares needed to cover the floor?
A. $200
B. $576
C. $480
D. $960
Answer: B. $576
Explanation: The width of the rectangular floor(24 m) is a multiple of one side of the square(8 m), and the length of the floor(64 m) is also a multiple of the side of the square. So the number of carpets to cover the floor is (24/8)*(64/8)=24.
The total cost is 24*24=$576.
The answer is, therefore, B.

Question: For four days of work, a clerk had daily earnings of $160, $150, $160, and $160 respectively. In which of the following intervals does the standard deviation of the daily earnings lie?
A.Between $10 and $50
B.Between $0 and $10
C.Between $20 and $25
D.Between $50 and $100
Answer: B.Between $0 and $10
Explanation: The standard deviation is between 0 and 10.
The reason is that none of the numbers in the set is further away from the mean than 10(or rather Abs(150-(160*3+150)/4)). I am not fully sure how to calculate the standard deviation(I simply remember that there were some formula for calculating the average of the squared distances from the mean for all items in the set from statistics classes - variation), but I believe this will suffice for any GMAT question related to standard deviation.

Question: If line L passes through point (m, n) and (– m, – n), where m and n are not 0, which of the following must be true?
I.	The slope of L is positive
II.	L exactly passes through origin
III.	The slope of L is negative
A.III only
B.II only
C.I only
D.I and II only
Answer: B.II only
Explanation: Let (m,n) = (2,3)
(-m,-n) = (-2,-3)
Slope = (3+3)/(2+2) = 6/4 = 3/2
So III may not be true
Let (m,n) = (2,-3) then (-m,-n) = (-2,3)
So slope = (3 +3)/(-2-2) = -3/2
so I may not be true
So such a line would be -> (y - 3) = 3/2(x - 2)
=> 2y - 6 = 3x - 6
=> 2y - 3x = 0, hence no x or y intercept, so it passes through origin.
II is true.

Question: There are 5 boxes of different weights. They are weighed in pairs taken 2 at a time and the weights obtained are 110, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 120 and 121. What is the sum of the weights of the 5 boxes ?
A.250
B.289
C.290
D.295
Answer: B.289
Explanation: Let the 5 boxes be a, b, c, d and e. The ten weights correspond to all the possible combinations of 2 weights out of 5.
On adding all the given weights, each boxes weight gets added 4 times:
a+b, a+c, a+d, a+e.
Similarly for b:
b+c, b+d, b+e and a+b (already included above)
Similarly for c, d and e.
Therefore, 110+112+113+114 .....+120+121 = 4* (a+b+c+d+e)
or, 4* (a+b+c+d+e) = 1156
or, (a+b+c+d+e) = 1156/4 = 289

Question: A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?
A.4800
B.4991
C.5004
D.5000
Answer: B.4991
Explanation: Explanation:
Let the sale in the sixth month =x=x
Then 6435+6927+6855+7230+6562+x/6=6500
=> 6435+6927+6855+7230+6562+ =6×6500
=> 34009+x=39000
=> x=39000−34009=4991
