Question: Jim travels the first 3 hours of his journey at 60 mph speed and the remaining 5 hours at 24 mph speed. What is the average speed of Jim's travel in mph?
A.37.5 mph
B.40 mph
C.50 mph
D.44 mph
Answer: A.37.5 mph
Explanation: Explanation :
Average speed=Total Distance/Time.
Total distance travelled by Jim = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours.
Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3×60=180 miles
Distance covered in the next 5 hours= 5×24=120 miles
Therefore, total distance travelled = 180+120=300 miles.
The total time taken = 3+5=8 hours.
Hence, the average speed = 300/8= 37.5 mph.

Question: Consider the sequence of numbers beginning 23, 27, 28, 32, 33... It continues in such a way that by adding 5 to the nth term, one obtains the (n + 2)th term. What is the sum of the first 18 members of this sequence?
A.878
B.900
C.788
D.810
Answer: D.810
Explanation: I would split them up like this.
23 28 33 and so on (9 terms)....the 10th term = 23+8*5 = 63
27 32 37 and so on (9 terms)......the 9th term = 27+8*5 = 67
Since the distance between any two numbers is the same we can use arithmetics
first+last/2 times no of numbers = the sum
(23+63)/2 * 9= 387
(27+67)/2 * 9 = 423
= 810

Question: If x/2 years ago Roger was 18 years old and x/2 years from now he will be 4x years old, how old will he be 5x years from now?
A.32
B.35
C.30
D.51
Answer: D.51
Explanation: Assume the current age = a
a - x/2 = 18 (i)
a + x/2 = 4x
Or a = 7x/2 (ii)
Putting the value of a from (ii) in (i)
7x/2 - x/2 = 18
Or 6x/2 = 18 Therefore x = 6 and a = 21
5x years from now, age will be 21 + 5*6 = 51

Question: A man complete a journey in 10 hours. He travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21 km/hr and second half at the rate of 24 km/hr. Find the total journey in km.
A.224km
B.233km
C.277km
D.256km
Answer: A.224km
Explanation: distance = speed x time
Let time taken to travel the first half = x hr
then time taken to travel the second half = (10 - x) hr
Distance covered in the the first half = 21x
Distance covered in the the second half = 24(10 - x)
But distance covered in the the first half = Distance covered in the the second half
=> 21x = 24(10 - x)
=> 21x = 240 - 24x
=> 45x = 240
=> 9x = 48
=> 3x = 16
⇒x=163Hence Distance covered in the the first half = 21x=21×163=7×16=112 kmTotal distance = 2×112=224 km

D. 756
Answer: D. 756
Explanation: Since <x>=2x+(2x-1)+(2x-2)+......2+1=1+2+..+(2x-2)+(2x-1)+2x then<x> is basically the sum of all integers from 1 to 2x, inclusive.
Hence <3> is the sum of all integers from 1 to 2*3=6 and <4> is the sum of all integers from 1 to 2*4=8--> <3>=21 and <4>=36 --> <3>*<4>=21*36=756.

Question: A room is half as long again as it is broad. The cost of carpeting the at Rs. 5 per sq.m is Rs. 270 and the cost of papering the four walls at Rs. 10 per m2 is Rs. 1720. If a door and 2 windows occupy 8 sq. m, find the dimensions of the room.
A.6,18,6
B.6,18,0
C.6,18,7
D.6,18,2
Answer: A.6,18,6
Explanation: Explanation:
Let breadth = x metres, length = 3x metres, height = H metres.
Area of the floor=(Total cost of carpeting)/(Rate) = (270/5)= 54
So, breadth = 6 m and length = = 9 m.
Now, papered area = (1720/10) = 172
Area of 1 door and 2 windows = 8
Total area of 4 walls = (172 + 8) = 180

Question: A man taking the census walks up to the apartment of a mathematician and asks him if he has any children and how old they are. The mathematician says "I have three daughters and the product of their ages is 72." The man tells the mathematician that he needs more information, so the mathematician tells him "The sum of their ages is equal to our apartment number." The man still needs more information so the mathematician tells him "My oldest daughter has her own bed and the other two share bunk beds."
How old are his daughters?
A.5-2-3
B.6-4-4
C.9-5-4
D.8-3-3
Answer: D.8-3-3
Explanation: His daughters are 8, 3, and 3. The prime factorization of 72 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3, so the possible ages are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, and 18. Using the prime factorization and these numbers the only combinations of numbers that work for the first clue are:
18, 2 and 2.
9, 4 and 2.
6, 6 and 2.
6, 4 and 3.
8, 3, and 3.
Since he doesn't know the ages after this piece of information the sum of the three numbers must not be unique. The sum of 8, 3, and 3; and 6, 6, and 2 are the same. Now the final clue comes in handy. Since we know that the oldest daughter has her own bed it is likely that she has the bed to herself and is older than the other two so there ages are 8, 3, and 3 rather than 2, 6 and 6.

Question: On the xy co-ordinate plane, point C is (5,-2) and point D is (-2,2.5). The point on line segment CD that is twice as far from C as from D is:
A.(1,-1)
B.(1,1)
C.(2,0.25)
D.(3,-0.5)
Answer: D.(3,-0.5)
Explanation: We want the point on the line that is twice as far from C as it is from D. We can examine the x and y coordinates separately since they are independent.
*It should be noted that there are two solutions to this problem, one point between C and D, and another point with D in the middle of C and the point. We can quickly look at the answer choices and see that all the points are between C and D, therefore we can search for that point using the following method:
Taking the x-coordinate first, the distance between C and D is |(x-coordinate of C) - (x-coordinate of D)|= |5 - (-1)| = 6
The x-coordinate that is twice as far from C as it is from D (and in between C and D) will be 4 units from C and 2 units from D. So the x coordinate of the point we're looking for is 5-4 = 1, or (-1)+2 = 1.
Now looking at the y-coordinate, we do the same thing. The distance between C and D is |(-2) - 2.5| = 4.5
The y-coordinate that is twice as far from C as it is from D (and in between C and D) will be 3 units from C and 1.5 units from D. So the y coordinate of the point we're looking for is (-2)+3 = 1, or 2.5-1.5 = 1.
So now we have our coordinates of the point on the line that is twice as far from C as it is from D: (3,-0.5)

Question: If r and y are integers and (15^r + 15^(r+1))/4^y = 15^y what is the value of r?
A.2
B.3
C.4
D.5
Answer: A.2
Explanation: \frac{15^r( 1+ 15)}{4^y} = 15^y
(15^r . 4^2 ) / 4^y = 15^y. 4^0
15^r . 4^(2-y) = 15^y. 4^0
Equating the powers, r = y; 2-y = 0; So r = y = 2=A
