Question: Joe went up a certain hill at the rate of one and a half kilometers per hour and came down at the rate of four and a half kilometers per hour, so that it took just four hours to make the double journey. How far was it to the top of the hill ?
A.3 km
B.6 km
C.4.5 km
D.km
Answer: C.4.5 km
Explanation: Assume the distance to the top of the hill (1 way) as: x
Now, speed=distance/time => time=distance/speed
So, for the first half of the journey, he traveled uphill at 1.5km/hr, so the time taken for the first leg of the journey is: x/1.5.
For the second half, he traveled downhill at 4.5km/hr, so the time taken for the second leg of the journey is: x/4.5
Now, the total time for the trip is given as 4 hrs.
Equating, (x/1.5)+(x/4.5)=4 => (3x+x)/4.5=4 => x=4.5 km
So, the distance one side is = 4.5 km.
The OA mentioned is 9km, which is exactly double of this distance, i.e., the total distance traveled during both legs of the journey, but the question only asked for the distance till the top of the hill, i.e., one way, so the answer should be 4.5km
Can someone assist me in understanding where am I wrong here?
Question: The product of two negative integers, a and b, is a prime number p. If p is the number of factors of n, where n is NOT a perfect square, what is the value of the median of the four integers a, b, p, and n?
A.0
B.1/2
C.1
D.3/2
Answer: B.1/2
Explanation: All prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself. now since product of a and b is a prime number P. therefore one of a and b is -1 and other is -P.
Also, all the perfect square have odd no. of factors. for e.g. a^2 will have 3 factors a,a^2 and 1. Since, n is not a perfect square therefore its no. of factors must be even and the only prime no. which is even is 2. therefore p=2,
now the median of numbers -2,-1,2 and n will be (-1+2)/2= 1/2

Question: A number when divided by a divisor leaves a remainder of 24.
When twice the original number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 11. What is the value of the divisor?
A.37
B.39
C.41
D.42
Answer: A.37
Explanation: Let the original number be 'a'
Let the divisor be 'd'
Let the quotient of the division of aa by dd be 'x'
Therefore, we can write the relation as a/d = x and the remainder is 24.
i.e., a=dx+24 When twice the original number is divided by d, 2a is divided by d.
We know that a=dx+24. Therefore, 2a = 2dx + 48
The problem states that (2dx+48)/d leaves a remainder of 11.
2dx2dx is perfectly divisible by d and will therefore, not leave a remainder.
The remainder of 11 was obtained by dividing 48 by d.
When 48 is divided by 37, the remainder that one will obtain is 11.
Hence, the divisor is 37.

Question: While playing a certain dice game, Chris wins if the sum of the two dice is 11, at which point the game is over. If the game allows Chris three rolls in an attempt to win, what is the probability that Chris will win?
A.1/2
B.17/36
C.26/165
D.11/36
Answer: C.26/165
Explanation: Probability of winning game = 1- Probability of losing game
Probability of losing game = (Probability of not getting sum 7 in any of the three attempts)
Ways of getting sum 11 = (5,6)(6,5)= 2 ways
Total ways of getting outcome on two dice =6*6=36
Probability of getting sum as 11 in any attempt =2/36=1/18
Probability of NOT getting sum as 11 in any attempt = 1-(1/18)= 17/18
Probability of losing game =(17/18)*(17/18)*(17/18)=139/165
I.e. Probability of wining game = 1-(139/165) =26/165
