Question: The sum of the squares of the first 15 positive integers (1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + . . . + 15^2) is equal to 1260. What is the sum of the squares of the second 15 positive integers (16^2 + 17^2 + 18^2 + . . . + 30^2) ?
Options:
A) 2480
B) 3490
C) 6785
D) 8235
E) 9255
Rationale: You'll never need a formula for the sums of squares on the actual GMAT. You don't need to use that formula here, though it's not all that straightforward to solve without one. Two different approaches:
16^2 + 17^2 + 18^2 + ... + 30^2 = (15 + 1)^2 + (15 + 2)^2 + (15 + 3)^2 + ... + (15 + 15)^2
Now we can expand each square; they are all in the (x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2 pattern.
= (15^2 + 2*15 + 1^2) + (15^2 + 4*15 + 2^2) + (15^2 + 6*15 + 3^2) + ... + (15^2 + 30*15 + 15^2)
Now we have fifteen 15^2 terms, so adding these gives 15*15^2 = 15^3 = 3375. We also have the entire sum 1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 15^2, which we know is equal to 1240. Finally adding the middle terms, we have:
2*15 + 4*15 + 6*15 + ... + 30*15 = 15(2 + 4 + 6 + .... + 30) = 15*2*(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 15) = 15*2*8*15 = 3600
So the sum must be 3375 + 1240 + 3600 = 8215
Alternatively, we can use a different factoring pattern. We want to find the value of 30^2 + 29^2 + ... + 17^2 + 16^2. Well if we subtract 15^2 + 14^2 + .... + 2^2 + 1^2 from this, the answer will be 1240 less than what we want to find. So if we can find the value of
30^2 + 29^2 + ... + 17^2 + 16^2 - (15^2 + 14^2 + .... + 2^2 + 1^2)
then we can add 1240 to get the answer. Now grouping the terms above to get differences of squares, we have
= (30^2 - 15^2) + (29^2 - 14^2) + ... + (16^2 - 1^2)
and factoring each of these using x^2 - y^2 = (x + y)(x - y), we have
= 45*15 + 43*15 + 41*15 + ... + 17*15 = 15(45 + 43 + 41 + ... + 17)
In brackets we have an equally spaced sum with fifteen terms, which we can evaluate using the familiar formula. So the above equals
15*15*62/2 = 6975
and adding back the 1260, we get the answer of 8235. (ANS D)
Answer: D
Question: 14, 23, 32, 41, 50, 59, …
In the sequence above, each term is 9 more than the previous term. What is the 41st term T of the sequence?
Options:
A)360
B)365
C)369
D)374
E)383
Rationale: First term , a= 14
Common difference , d = 9
nth term , tn = a + (n-1)d
41st term T , t41 = a+ 40*d = 14 + 40*9 = 374

Question: A decade is defined as a complete set of consecutive nonnegative integers that have identical digits in identical places, except for their units digits, with the first decade consisting of the smallest integers that meet the criteria, the second decade consisting of the next smallest integers, etc. A decade in which the prime numbers contain the same set of units digits as do the prime numbers in the second decade is the
Options:
A)fifth
B)seventh
C)eighth
D)ninth
E)eleventh
Rationale: From question stem, we know that the first decade consists the smallest integers that meet the above definition
1st decade - 00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09
The second decade has the next smallest integers that meet the criteria
2nd decade - 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19
We need to find the decade in which the prime numbers contain the same set of units digits as do the prime numbers in the second decade
2nd decade - 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19
3rd decade - 20,21 --> 21 is not prime . So stop and let's move to the next decade
4th decade - 30,31,32,33 --> 33 is not prime. Stop !
5th decade - 40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49 -- > 49 is not prime
6th decade - 50,51 --> 51 is not prime . Stop !
7th decade - 60,61,62,63 --> 63 is not prime. Stop!
8th decade - 70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77 --> 77 is not prime. Stop!
9th decade - 80,81 --> 81 is not prime. Stop!
All options have been eliminated except one. So Answer should be (E)
10th decade - 90,91,92,93 -->93 is not prime. Stop!
11th decade - 100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109 - Match !
Therefore, Correct Answer is (E) i.e eleventh decade

Question: Two stations P and Q are 245 km apart on a straight track. One train starts from P at 7 a.m. and travels towards Q at 20 kmph. Another train starts from Q at 8 a.m. and travels towards P at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?
Options:
A)10 am
B)12 am
C)10.30 am
D)12.30 am
E)1 pm
Rationale: Assume both trains meet after x hours after 7 am
Distance covered by train starting from P in x hours = 20x km
Distance covered by train starting from Q in (x-1) hours = 25(x-1)
Total distance = 245
=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 245
=> 45x = 270
=> x= 6
Means, they meet after 6 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 1pm

Options:
A)42 runs
B)45 runs
C)48 runs
D)52 runs
E)None
Rationale: Sol.
Let the average for 10 innings be x. Then,

Question: At coffee factory, each employee working the second shift produced 2/3 as many widgets as each employee working the first shift. If the first shift has 3/4 as many employees, what fraction of the total widgets did the second shift produce?
Options:
A)8/17
B)1/2
C)8/9
D)9/8
E)17/8
Rationale: At coffee factory, Let the first shift have 3 employee and each produce 3 widgets, so the total number of widgets produced by the first shift is 3*3=9;
Then the second shift would have 4 employees and each second shift employee would produce 3*2/3=2 widgets, so the total number of widgets produced by the second shift employees would be 4*2=8;
The ratio of the second shift production to the total is 8/(9+8)=8/17.
