Question: Last year, the price per transaction of certain company increases P percent from the year before, and the number of transactions increase N percent from the year before. Total revenue is simply the number of transactions times the price per transaction. Assume this one transaction is this company's only source of revenue. Which of the following is the percent increase in revenue last year, from the year before?
Options:
A)P∗N %
B)(P+N)
C)(P+N+P∗N/100) %
D)(P+N-P∗N/100) %
E)(P+N+P∗N/100)^2 %
Rationale: Assume
x = price per transaction for previous year
y = price per transaction for this year
Relationship between x and y
y =x (1+P/100)
Similarly, if
n1= no. of transactions for last year
n2 = no. of transactions for this year
n2 = n1(1+N/100)
Now, the question is [(n2y- n1x) /n1x] * 100
n2y = n1x(1+P/100)(1+N/100)
So, [(n2y - n1x)/n1x] * 100 = (n1x[(1+P/100) (1+N/100) - 1]/ n1x) * 100
D is the answer.

Question: Train A and Train B began traveling towards each other from opposite ends of a 540-mile long track at 1:00 PM. If Train A traveled at 35 miles per hour and Train B traveled at 25 miles per hour, at what time did the trains meet?
Options:
A)5:40 PM
B)10:00 PM
C)7:20 PM
D)8:00 PM
E)9:20 PM
Rationale: This question tests your concepts of relative speed:
If two trains are moving in opposite direction, then distance will reduce at a rate of (Speed of 1 + Speed of 2)
If two trains are moving in same direction, then distance will reduce at a rate of (Speed of 1 - Speed of 2)
Here the trains are moving towards each other, hence in opposite direction.
Trains will cover the 500 mile track in a time of 500/(25 + 35) = 540/60 = 9 hours
Trains started at 1:00 PM, there they will meet at 10:00 PM

Question: If two sides of a triangle are 3 and 12, respectively, which of the following could NOT be the area of this triangle?
Options:
A)1
B)6
C)17
D)29
E)16
Rationale: For this question it would be helpful to know the largest area that this triangle could be, given the two sides of 3 and 12.
We know that the area of a triangle will be maximized when two sides are perpendicular to each other (consult Bunuel's drawing above). Thus we have a max area being equal to one half the base times the height, either (.5)12 * 3 -or- (.5)3 * 12 will result in a maximum area of 18 for the triangle; therefore, the triangle could never have an area of 29.
