Question: If m and n are positive integers and m^2 + n^2 = 137, what is the value of m^3 + n^3?
Options:
A)72
B)224
C)320
D)512
E)1,395
Rationale: You need to integers which squared are equal 40.
Which could it be ? Let's start with the first integer:
1^2 = 1
2^2 = 4
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
5^2 = 25
6^2 = 36
7^2 = 49
8^2 = 64
9^2 = 81
10^2 = 100
11^2 = 121
Stop. The integers can't be greater than 6 or we will score above 137.
The second integer need to be picked up the same way.
1^2 = 1
2^2 = 4
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
5^2 = 25
6^2 = 36
7^2 = 49
8^2 = 64
9^2 = 81
10^2 = 100
11^2 = 121
The only pair that matches is 11^2 + 4^2 = 137.
So 11^3 + 4^3 = 1395.

Question: A man rows to a place 48 km distant and come back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is:
Options:
A)2 km/hr
B)1 km/hr
C)4 km/hr
D)6 km/hr
E)5 km/hr
Rationale: Explanation:
Assume that he moves 4 km downstream in x hours.
Then, speed downstream = distance/time = 4/x km/hr
Given that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream
i.e., speed upstream = 3/4 of speed downstream
=> speed upstream = 3/x km/hr
He rows to a place 48 km distant and comes back in 14 hours
⇒48/(4/x)+48/(3/x)=14
⇒12x+16x=14
⇒6x+8x=7
⇒14x=7
⇒x=1/2
Hence, speed downstream =4x=4(12) = 8 km/hr
speed upstream = 3x=3(12) = 6 km/hr
Now we can use the below formula to find the rate of the stream
Let the speed downstream be a km/hr and the speed upstream be b km/hr, then
Speed in still water = 1/2(a+b) km/hr
Rate of stream = 1/2(a−b) km/hr
Hence, rate of the stream = 1/2(8−6)= 1 km/hr

Question: In a graduating class of 232 students, 144 took geometry and 119 took biology. What is the difference between the greatest possible number R and the smallest possible number of students that could have taken both geometry and biology?
Options:
A)144
B)119
C)113
D)88
E)31
Rationale: OFFICIAL SOLUTION:
First of all, notice that since 144 took geometry and 119 took biology, then the number of students who took both geometry and biology cannot be greater than 119.
{Total} = {geometry} + {biology} - {both} + {neither};
232 = 144 + 119 - {both} + {neither};
{both} = 31 + {neither}.
{both} is minimized when {neither} is 0. In this case {both} = 31.
The greatest possible number R of students that could have taken both geometry and biology, is 119.
Thus, the answer is 119 - 31 = 88.

Question: Donald duck can can swim his pool downstream(with the pool current helping time) in exact 40 seconds and upstream(against the pool current) in a pool in exact 60 seconds. The length of pool is 2 kilometers.
How long Donald duck can cover distance of one side at a still pool (with no current).
Options:
A)40 minutes
B)45 minutes
C)38 minutes
D)48 minutes
E)30 minutes
Rationale: D
48 minutes.
Donald duck's speed = X km/seconds
pool current speed = Y km/seconds
2/(X+Y) = 40
2/(X-Y) = 60
Solving the simultaneous equations gives X = 1/24
Therefore, to cover 2km will take 2/X = 48 seconds
