Question: Both Robert and Alice leave from the same location at 7:00 a.m. driving in the same direction, but in separate cars. Robert drives 40 miles per hour while Alice drives 60 miles per hour. After 6 hours, Alice’s car stops. At what time will Robert’s car reach Alice’s car?
A.1 p.m.
B.3 p.m.
C.4 p.m.
D.8 p.m.
Answer: C.4 p.m.
Explanation: 7:00 am so 6 hours later is 1:00 pm
In six hours, Robert will have driven 6*40 = 240 miles
In six hours, Alive will have driven 6*60 = 360 miles
So Robert needs 360-240 = 120 miles do catch Alice up.
So at 40 mph, he will need 3 hours
1:00 pm + 3 hours = 4:00 pm

Question: A certain clock marks every hour by striking a number of times equal to the hour, and the time require for a stroke is exactly equal to the time interval between strokes. At 6:00 the time lapse between the beginning of the first stoke and the end of the last stroke is 22 seconds. At 10:00, how many seconds elapse between the beginning of the first stroke and the end of the last stroke?
A.42
B.36
C.46
D.38
Answer: D.38
Explanation: at 6'o clock, there would be 6 strikes. First strike, then a short interval, the second strike, then a short interval and so on till the 6th strike. So there would be in all 5 intervals between 6 strikes. Similarly, between 10 strikes, there would be 9 intervals.
According to the question, the time spent in the strike and the interval is same.
At 6'o clock, the 6 strikes and the 5 intervals together take 22 sec so each strike and each interval takes 2 secs.

Answer: D.20
Explanation: This is a very specific format that has appeared in a handful of real GMAT questions, and you may wish to learn to recognize it: here we have a *fixed* distance, and we are given the difference between the times and speeds of two things that have traveled that distance. This is one of the very small number of question formats where backsolving is typically easier than solving directly, since the direct approach normally produces a quadratic equation.
Say Team R's speed was s. Then Team R's time is 300/s.
Team A's speed was then s+5, and Team A's time was then 300/(s+5).
We need to find an answer choice for s so that the time of Team A is 3 less than the time of Team R. That is, we need an answer choice so that 300/(s+5) = (300/s) - 3. You can now immediately use number properties to zero in on promising answer choices: the times in these questions will always work out to be integers, and we need to divide 300 by s, and by s+5. So we want an answer choice s which is a factor of 300, and for which s+5 is also a factor of 300. So you can rule out answers A and C immediately, since s+5 won't be a divisor of 300 in those cases (sometimes using number properties you get to the correct answer without doing any other work, but unfortunately that's not the case here). Testing the other answer choices, if you try answer D, you find the time for Team R is 15 hours, and for Team A is 12 hours, and since these differ by 3, as desired, D is correct.

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter.
Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).
This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different.
Number of ways arranging these letters =	7!/2!	= 2520.
Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged
in	5!/3!	= 20 ways.
Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.

Question: Two goods trains each 500 m long are running in opposite directions on parallel tracks. Their speeds are 50 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively. Find the time taken by the slower train to pass the driver of the faster one?
A.12 sec
B.24 sec
C.45 sec
D.60 sec
Answer: C.45 sec
Explanation: Relative speed = 50 + 30 = 80 km/hr.
80 * 5/18 = 200/9 m/sec.
Distance covered = 500 + 500 = 1000 m.
Required time = 1000 * 9/200 = 45 sec.

Question: The average of 11 numbers is 10.9. If the average of first six is 10.5 and that of the last six is 11.9 the sixth number is?
A.11.4
B.14.5
C.11.8
D.11.5
Answer: B.14.5
Explanation: 1 to 11 = 11 * 10.9 = 119.9
1 to 6 = 6 * 10.5 = 63
6 to 11 = 6 * 11.9 = 71.4
63 + 71.4 = 134.4 – 119.9 = 14.5
6th number = 11.5
Answer: B
Question: F is a positive integer and 225 and 216 are both divisors of F. If F=(2^a)*(3^b)*(5^c), where a, b and c are positive integers, what is the least possible value of a+ b+ c?
A.4
B.5
C.8
D.7
Answer: C.8
Explanation: Lets make factorization of 225 and 216 ..
225 = 5 X 5 X 3 X 3 X 3
216 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 3 X 3 X 3
F would have to have 3 two's , 225 has 3 threes and and so does 216 but they can be the same three threes so we count them only once ... 225 has 2 fives ... So we had them together and we get 3 + 3 + 2 = 8(C) (answer) ...
Question: The average length of 6 snakes is 80 cm. If the average length of one third of the snakes is 70 cm, what is the average of the other snakes?
A.75.
B.85.
C.90
D.94
Answer: B.85.
Explanation: Given ( X1 + X2 ... + X6 ) / 6 = 80
( X1 + X2 ... + X6 ) = 480 --> Eq 1.
Now given avg length of one third snakes is 70. That means out 6 / 3 = 2 snakes.
let the avg length of two snakes be ( X1 + X2 ) / 2 = 70 .
( X1 + X2 ) = 140. --> eq 2.
Now we are asked to find the average of the remaining i.e. ( X3 + X4 + X5 + X6 )
Substitute eq 2 in eq 1 then we get
140 + X3 + X4 + X5 + X6 = 480
=> X3 + X4 + X5 + X6 = 340
Now divide 340 by 4 we get 85.
=> ( X3 + X4 + X5 + X6) / 4 = 85 = avg length of remaining snakes.
Answer: correct option is B.
