Options:
A)30 cm
B)40 cm
C)50 cm
D)60 cm
E)70 cm
Rationale: Let x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively.
Then, x - 4 = y + 3 or x - y = 7 ----(1)
Area of the rectangle =xy; Area of the square = (x - 4) (y + 3)
(x - 4) (y + 3) =xy <=> 3x - 4y = 12 ----(2)
Solving 1 & 2 , we get x = 16 and y = 9.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (x + y) = [2 (16 + 9)] cm = 50 cm.

Question: When the positive integer g is divided by 5 and 7, the remainder is 3 and 4, respectively. When the positive integer h is divided by 5 and 7, the remainder is 3 and 4, respectively. Which of the following is a factor of g-h?
Options:
A) 12
B) 24
C) 35
D) 16
E) 30
Rationale: If I have a number n which when divided by 5 gives a remainder 3 and when divided by 7 gives a remainder 4, the number is of the form:
n = 5g + 3
n = 7h + 4
I will need to check for the smallest such number.
I put h= 1. n = 11. Is it of the form 5g + 3? No.
Put h= 2. n = 18. Is it of the form 5g + 3? Yes.
When 18 is divided by 5, it gives a remainder of 3. When it is divided by 7, it gives a remainder if 4.
Next such number will be 35 + 18 because 35 will be divisible by 5 as well as 7 and whatever is the remainder from 18, will still be the remainder
Next will be 35*2 + 18
and so on...
Difference between such numbers will be a multiple of 35 so your answer is 35.

Question: A straight fence is to be constructed from posts 3 inches wide and separated by lengths of chain 5 feet long. If a certain fence begins and ends with a post, which of the following couldnotbe the length of the fence in feet? (12 inches = 1 foot)
Options:
A)17
B)28
C)34
D)39
E)50
Rationale: The fence begins and ends with a post: {post = 0.5 feet}{chains = 5 feet}{post = 0.5 feet}...{chains = 5 feet}{post = 0.5 feet}
The minimum length is with 2 posts = 0.5 + 5 + 0.5 = 6 feet. To increase the fence, each time we should add{post = 0.5 feet}{chains = 5 feet}, so 5.5 feet. Thus, the lengths could be:
3 feet;
3 + 5.5 = 8.5 feet;
11.5 + 5.5 = 14 feet;
17 + 5.5 = 19.5 feet;
22.5 + 5.5 = 25 feet;
28 + 5.5 = 30.5 feet;
33.5 + 5.5 = 36 feet.
...
We skipped 34 feet.

Question: A certain list of 240 test scores has an average (arithmetic mean) of 85 and a standard deviation of d, where d is positive. Which of the following two test scores, when added to the list, must result in a list of 242 test scores with a standard deviation less than d ?
Options:
A) 80 and 80
B) 80 and 85
C) 80 and 90
D) 85 and 86
E) 85 and 90
Rationale: The standard deviation of a set shows how much variation there is from the mean, how widespread a given set is. So, a low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values.
So when we add numbers, which are far from the mean we are stretching the set making SD bigger and when we add numbers which are close to the mean we are shrinking the set making SD smaller.
According to the aboveadding two numbers which are closest to the mean will shrink the set most, thus decreasing SD by the greatest amount.
Closest to the mean are 85 and 86 (actually these numbers equal to the mean) thus adding them will definitely shrink the set, thus decreasing SD most.
Answer: D.
Answer: D
Question: x, 17, 3x - y2 - 2 and 3x + y2 - 30 are four consecutive terms of an increasing arithmetic sequence. The sum of the four numbers is divisible by:
Options:
A)2
B)3
C)5
D)7
E)11
Rationale: Step by step solution
The question does NOT state that the terms are all integers. That is an unstated assumption and is essential to solve the question.
The four terms are in an arithmetic sequence and the sequence is an ascending sequence. i.e., the second term is greater than the first term and so on.
The sum of the four terms = x + 17 + 3x - y2 - 2 + 3x + y2 - 30 = 7x - 15
If we get an idea about the type of number x is, we will be able find the answer to the question.
Because these 4 terms are in an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any two terms will be the same.
So, 17 - x = (3x + y2 - 30) - (3x - y2 - 2)
i.e., 17 - x = 2y2 - 28
Or 45 - x = 2y2
Because y is an integer, 2y2 has to be an even integer.
Unless x is odd, 45 - x cannot be even.
So, we can deduce that x is odd.
The sum of the four terms is 7x - 15
x is odd;
So, 7x will also be odd.
Hence,
7x - 15 will be even.
Therefore, the sum of the 4 terms will be divisible by 2.
The correct answer is Choice A.
Answer: A

Question: The market value of a certain machine decreased by 20 percent of its purchase price each year. If the machine was purchased in 1982 for its market value of $8,000, what was its market value two years later?
Options:
A) $8,000
B) $5,600
C) $3,200
D) $2,400
E) $4,800
Rationale: E.
Market value in 1982= $ 8000
Market value in 1983 = $ 8000- ($ 8000 x 20/100) = 8000-1600= $ 6400
Market value in 1984 = Market value in 1983 - (20 % of $8000)= 6400-1600 = $4800

Question: In a competitive examination in State A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates. State B had an equal number of candidates appeared and 7% candidates got selected with 80 more candidates got selected than A. What was the number of candidates appeared from each State?
Options:
A)7000
B)8000
C)6000
D)5000
E)4000
Rationale: State A and State B had an equal number of candidates appeared.
In state A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates
In state B, 7% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates
But in State B, 80 more candidates got selected than State A
From these, it is clear that 1% of the total appeared candidates in State B = 80
=> total appeared candidates in State B = 80 x 100 = 8000
=> total appeared candidates in State A = total appeared candidates in State B = 8000

Question: Last year Carlos saved 10 percent of his annual earnings. This year he earned 5 percent more than last year and he saved 12 percent of his annual earnings. The amount saved this year was what percent of the amount saved last year?
Options:
A)122%
B)124%
C)126%
D)128%
E)130%
Rationale: Earnings = 100 (assume).
Amount saved = 0.1*100 =10.
THIS YEAR:
Earnings = 100*1.05 = 105.
Amount saved = 0.12*105 =12.6.
The amount saved this year as a percent of the amount saved last year is (this yea)/(last year)*100 = 12.6/10*100 =126%.

Question: Synthia can buy watches at a price of Z dollars per watch, which she marks up by a certain percentage before selling. If she makes a total profit of X by selling Y watches, then in terms of Z and X and Y, what is the percent of the markup from her buy price to her sell price?
Options:
A)(YZ)/100X
B)100X-(YZ)
C)100X+(YZ)
D)100X*(YZ)
E)100X/(YZ)
Rationale: Algebraic Solution:If she makes a total profit of X for Y watches, then that must be a profit of X/Y for each watch. That must be the markup above cost on each watch, the amount of the increase. Well, percent increase = (amount of increase)/(starting amount) x 100% = (X/Y)/Z *100 = 100X/(YZ)

Question: How many positive integers n have the property that when 1,000,063 is divided by n, the
remainder is 63?
Options:
A)29
B)37
C)39
D)49
E)79
Rationale: Suppose n is a positive integer such that the remainder when 1,000,063 is divided
by n is 63. Then, 1,000,063 = nq + 63 where n > 63 (the remainder is always less than the
divisor). Thus 1,000,000 = 106 = nq. All we have to do is count the divisors of 106 that are
greater than 63. Now 106 = 2656 has 49 positive divisors. Exactly twelve are 63, namely
1; 2; 4; 8; 16; 32; 5; 10; 20; 40; 25; 50. Thus, the answer is 37.
