Question: x# is defined for every positive even integer x as the product of all even integers from 2 to x. What is the smallest possible prime factor of (x#+7)?
A.2
B.3
C.5
D.7
Answer: B.3
Explanation: Since smallest possible prime factor is required.
Let x = 2 then --> 2# = 2
x#+7 ==> 2#+7 = 2+7 = 9 = 3*3.
Thus 3 is the smallest possible Prime Factor
2 cannot be the possible prime factor because --> x# is always even since it is product of even numbers
Even +7 = Odd. Hence 2 cannot be prime factor of this result

Question: Rs. 875 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. 875 become in 3 years ?
A.Rs. 1020.80
B.Rs. 1025
C.Rs. 1061
D.Data inadequate
Answer: C.Rs. 1061
Explanation: Solution
S.I. = Rs.(956-875 )=Rs.81
Rate = (100x81/875x3) = 108/35%
New rate = (108/35 +4)% = 248/35%
New S.I. = Rs.(875 x 248/35 x 3/100) Rs. 186.
∴ New amount = Rs.(875+186)= Rs. 1061.

A.32
B.78
C.92
D.84
Answer: D.84
Explanation: Let no. be x
3/4*5/7*x - 2/3*4/7*x = 26
by further solving
15x/28- 8x/21= 26
13x/84= 26
x=168
we have to find x/2
=168/2=84

Question: Sakshi can do a piece of work in 20 days. Tanya is 25% more efficient than Sakshi. The number of days taken by Tanya to do the same piece of work is:
A.14
B.15
C.16
D.18
Answer: C.16
Explanation: Ratio of times taken by Sakshi and Tanya = 125 : 100 = 5 : 4.
Suppose Tanya takes x days to do the work.
5 : 4 :: 20 : x
x = (4 x 20)/5
x = 16 days.
Hence, Tanya takes 16 days to complete the work.

Question: The Least Common multiple of 2^6−1 and 2^9−1 is
A.2^12+27*2^9-217
B.2^ 12 +63*2^3-1
C.2^12+5^29-1
D.2^12+9*2^8 -1
Answer: B.2^ 12 +63*2^3-1
Explanation: The best approach in my opinion is what Zarroli has suggested above.
LCM * GCF = Product of the numbers = (2^6−1)∗(2^9−1)=(2^3−1)(2^3+1)∗(2^3−1)(2^6+1+2^3)
Notice that the only common factor between them is (23−1)(23−1) so this must be the GCF. Hence LCM will be the rest of the product.
LCM=(2^3+1)∗(2^3−1)(2^6+1+2^3)=(2^6−1)(2^6+1+2^3)
Now how do you get it in the format in the options? Almost all options have 2^12 and 1 so retain those two and club everything else together.
LCM=2^12−1+(2^6+2^9−2^6−2^3)=2^12−1+2^3(2^6−1)=2^12−1+2^3∗63

Question: Two identical machines have the ability to produce both nuts and bolts. However, it takes 1 second to produce a bolt but 2 seconds to produce a nut. What is the fastest the two machines, working together, can produce 1,200 nuts and 1,200 bolts?
A.1,250 seconds
B.1,500 seconds
C.1,800 seconds
D.2,000 seconds
Answer: C.1,800 seconds
Explanation: I used the Rate formula (R=\frac{1}{T})
Rate of 1st machine = Rate of making 1 bolt + Rate of making 1 nut = 1 + \frac{1}{2}
Rate of 1st machine = Rate of 2nd machine
After this I got lost.
Please can you help how to approach using algebra?
I wouldn't complicate:
1 machine needs 1,200*1 seconds to produce 1,200 bolts, so 2 need half of that, so 1,200/2 seconds.=600 sec
1 machine needs 1,200*2 seconds to produce 1,200 nuts, so 2 need half of that, so 1,200*2/2 seconds.=1200 sec
total = 1800

Question: Anthony and Cindy were each given X dollars in advance for each day they were expected to perform at a community festival. Anthony eventually performed on all 15 days of the festival, while Cindy performed on 5 fewer days than Anthony performed. If Cindy gives Anthony y dollars of her advance payment so that they would have each received the same daily rate, what was Anthony paid in advance, in terms of Y?
A.6Y
B.10Y
C.8Y
D.5Y
Answer: D.5Y
Explanation: Both of them were given X $ each
Cindy to adjust Y $ in advance to Anthony
So Cindy now has (X-Y)$ and Anthony has (X+Y) $ such that their daily rate becomes same
So Rate of CIndy= Rate of Anthony
Also , Cindy works for 10 days and ANthony works for full 15 days
(X-Y) / 10 = (X+Y) / 15
Solving 15x-15y=10x+10y =>5x=25y => x=5y
X= 5Y

Question: A number is said to be a “digifac” if each of its digits is a factor of the number itself. What is the sum M of the missing digits of the following five-digit digifac: 9, 5, 3 _ _ ?
A. 5
B. 7
C. 9
D. 10
Answer: D. 10
Explanation: Here, the term “digifac” should look intimidating. You probably haven’t studied digifacs before, so how should you approach this problem? Well, keep in mind that digifacs aren’t being tested; in fact, the author of this question just made that term up, and then defined it for you. What makes this question hard is that the non-challenge-seeker (I think I just made that term up, too…) will see the unfamiliar term “digifac” and lose faith immediately. “I don’t know what that is!” She who finds the challenge in the GMAT fun, however, will read the definition and think “got it – I need to find the two digits that ensure that 9, 5, and 3 are both factors of the overall number, and that the remaining two digits are also factors”. And work from there. The number must be divisible by 5, so the only units digits that work are 0 or 5. And the number must be divisible by 9 (and also 3), so we need the sum M of all digits to be a multiple of 9. 9 + 5 + 3 = 17, so our only options are to get the sum to 18 (by adding 1) or to 27 (by adding 10). A quick glance at the answer choices shows that 0 1 isn’t an option. Why not? That would require 0 to be one of the digits…and 0 isn’t a factor of anything. So the units digit must be 5, making the tens digit 5, and we have 95,355. That number is a multiple of 5, 3, and 9, so it works:the correct answer is D, and more importantly this fun challenge required no “trivial” information about digifacs…that term only existed to obscure the link between the given information and the path to the answer.D

Question: A train crosses a bridge of length 2500 m in 120 seconds and a lamp post on the bridge in 30 seconds. What is the length of the train in metres ?
A.375 m
B.750/3 m
C.2500/3 m
D.800 m
Answer: C.2500/3 m
Explanation: Let Length of Train = L
Case-1: Distance = 2500+L (While crossing the bridge)
Time = 120 Seconds
i.e. Speed = Distance / Time = (2500+L)/120
Case-2: Distance = L (While passing the lamp post)
Time = 30 Seconds
i.e. Speed = Distance / Time = (L)/30
But Since speed has to be same in both cases so
(2500+L)/120 = (L)/30
i.e. 4L = 2500 + L
i.e. 3L = 2500
i.e. L = 2500/3

Question: A boatman goes 2 km against the current of the stream in 1 hour and goes 1 km along the current in 10 minutes. How long will it take to go 5 km in stationary water?
A.1 hr 15 min
B.1 hr 30 min
C.1 hr
D.2 hr
Answer: A.1 hr 15 min
Explanation: Upstream speed = u-v;
Downstream speed=u+v;.
According to formula, s=d/t.
u-v = 2/1, and
u+v = 60/10.
On solving these equations, we get.
u=4 and v=2.
Therefore, speed of boatman = 4 km/hr.
Hence, t=d/s.
t=5/4.
We get 1hr 15min is answer.

Question: Two trains are traveling on parallel tracks in the same direction. The faster train travels at 130 miles per hour, while the slower train travels at 100 miles per hour. At 3 o’clock the faster train is 15 miles behind the slower one. How far apart are the two trains at 5 o'clock?
A.45 miles
B.80 miles
C.90 miles
D.120 miles
Answer: A.45 miles
Explanation: Answer = A. 45 miles
Relational speed = 130 - 100 = 30 miles per hour
In 2 hours, difference = 30 * 2 = 60 miles
Fast train trailing 15 miles, so effective difference = 60 - 15 = 45 miles
Question: If m and n are whole numbers such that mn = 121, the value of (m – 1)n + 1 is:
A.1
B.10
C.121
D.1000
Answer: D.1000
Explanation: EXPLANATION
We know that 112 = 121.

Question: What is the remainder when 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434481 is divided by 45?
A.26
B.36
C.16
D.06
Answer: B.36
Explanation: Explanation :
Let's call : A = 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434481
=> A = B * 100 + 81 [with B = 1234567 ..... 424344]
We have:
B x 100 is divisible by 45
Because:
- Sum of all digits in B
= 1+2+3 + .... +44 = (1+44) + (2+43) + ....+ (22+23) (22 pairs)
= 22*45 => B divisible for 9
Since B is divisible by 9, B * 100 will be divisible by 9*5 = 45
81 divided 45 gives a remainder of 36
Therefore, A divided by 45 reminder 36
Answer : B
Question: Abel can complete a work in 8 days, Ben in 12 days and Carla in 15 days. All of them began the work together, but Abel had to leave after 2 days and Ben 3 days before the completion of the work. How long did the work last?
A.4
B.7
C.8
D.9
Answer: A.4
Explanation: Abel in the 2 days that he worked completed 1/4 of the job = 3/4 remains
Then if Ben had to leave 3 days before the completion, this means that Carla had to work alone for these 3 days in which she completed 1/5 of the job.
Now together, Ben and Carla completed the job in (1/12 + 1/15)(t) = 3/20
3/20 (t) = 3/20 ---> t = 1
Therefore, these 1 day worked plus the 3 days that Carla had to work by herself add to 4 days

Question: The diameter of a wheel of cycle is 21 cm. It moves slowly along a road. How far will it go in 500 revolutions?
A.260 m
B.290 m
C.320 m
D.330 m
Answer: D.330 m
Explanation: In revolution, distance that wheel covers = circumference of wheel Diameter of wheel = 21 cm
Therefore, circumference of wheel = πd
= 22/7 × 21
= 66 cm
So, in 1 revolution distance covered = 66 cm
In 500 revolution distance covered = 66 × 500 cm
= 33000 cm
= 33000/100 m
= 330 m
