The table shows the number of shares of each of the 5 stocks owned by Mr Sami. If Mr. Sami was to sell 20 shares of Stock X and buy 26 shares of stock Y, what would be the increase in the range of the numbers of shares of the 5 stocks owned by Mr. Sami?
Options:
A)4
B)6
C)9
D)17
E)20
Rationale: Based on the original number of shares, the range would be: 112 - 45 = 67
However, the prompt tells us that two of the values in the table are going to change. After the changes, the values will be:
V 68
W 112
X 36

Question: A is thrice as good as workman as B and therefore is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. Working together, they can do it in:
Options:
A)20 days
B)22 1/2 days
C)25 days
D)30 days
E)40 days
Rationale: Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 3.
The time difference is (3 - 1) 2 days while B take 3 days and A takes 1 day.
If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days.
If difference of time is 60 days, B takes = 3/2 x 60 = 90 days.
So, A takes 30 days to do the work.
A’s 1 day’s work = 1/30
B’s 1 day’s work = 1/90
A’s and B’s one day work = 1/30 + 1/90 = 2/45.
Therefore, A and B together can do the work in = 45/2 = 22 1/2 days.

Answer: B
Question: What is the largest power of 3 contained in 200!
Options:
A)88
B)48
C)66
D)97
E)39
Rationale: In real basic terms, we're asked to find all of the '3s' in 200!
We can figure out that 200/3 = 66, so we know that there are at least 66 '3s' in 200! While that answer is among the 5 choices, it seems a bit too 'easy', so let's do a bit more work and list out the first few numbers that we know have a '3' in them:
3 = 3x1
6 = 3x2
9 = 3x3
Notice how both 3 and 6 have just one 3 in them, but 9 has TWO 3s (there's an 'extra' 3 that we have to account for). This implies that there are probably other numbers that include 'extra 3s' that we have to figure out:
To find those extra 3s, we have to look at numbers that contain 'powers of 3'...
3^2 = 9
3^3 = 27
3^4 = 81
3^5 = 243, but that's too big (we're only going up to 200). Keep in mind that a multiple of 81 is also a multiple of 9 and 27, so we don't want to count any of those values more than once.
200/9 = 22, so we know that there are at least 22 extra 3s (and certainly more because of the 27 and 81). With the 66 3s that we already have, those 22 extra 3s increase the total to 88. With the other extra 3s, we'll end up with MORE than 88 3s. There's only one answer that fits that logic...

Rationale: suppose man pick up x flowers.
He gives half flowers he had to guard and guard in return gives 1 flower to man.
so,
after 1st door remained flowers towards guard=(x/2)+1
i.e(x+2)/2
after 2nd door remained flowers towards guard=[(x+2)/4]+1
after 3rd door remained flowers towards guard=[(x+6)/8]+1
i.e.(x+14)/8
at the end he is left with same number of flowers he has picked.
so(x+14)/8=x
8x-x=14
x=2
Hence he should pick up 2 flowers.

Question: Tane can make a handcrafted drum in 4 weeks. Zane can make a similar handcrafted drum in 6 weeks. If they both work together, how many weeks will it take for them to produce 15 handcrafted drums?
Options:
A)30
B)36
C)70
D)80
E)150
Rationale: Method I: the rates solution
“Tane can make a handcrafted drum in 4 weeks. Zane can make a similar handcrafted drum in 6 weeks.” Tane’s rate is (1 drum)/(4 weeks) = 1/4. Zane’s rate is (1 drum)/(6 weeks) = 1/6. The combined rate of Tane + Zane is
R = 1/4 + 1/6 = 3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12
That’s the combined rate. We need to make 15 drums — we have a rate and we have an amount, so use the “art” equation to solve for time:
T = A/R = 15/(5/12) = 15*(12/5) = (15/5)*12 = 3*12 = 36
BTW, notice in the penultimate step, the universal fraction strategy: cancelbeforeyou multiply (Tip #3:http://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/can-i-use- ... -the-gmat/. Tane and Zane need 36 weeks to make 15 drums.

Question: Teams A, B, C,D and E were in a baseball tournament. Each team played each other team once. Team A beat team D. Teams A, B and C won the exact same number of games. How many games did team D lose?
Options:
A)5 games
B)4 games
C)3 games
D)2 games
E)1 game
Rationale: There are 4 teams and each team played each other team once. That tells us 2 facts:
 Each team played 3 games
 4 teams played a total of 6 games.
Since there are only 6 games, only 6 total wins are possible. Since A, B and C won the exact same number of games, they either all won 1 game or all won 2 games. Let’s examine both scenarios:
Scenario #1: A, B and C each won 1 game. In this scenario, D must have won all 3 games it played. That contradicts with the fact that A beat D. So, scenario 1 is not possible. So, it has to be scenario #2.
Scenario #2: A, B and C each 2 games. In this scenario, D won 0 games. That means D lost all 3 games it played.

Question: A sum of money invested for a certain number of years at 8% p.a. simple interest grows to Rs.180. The same sum of money invested for the same number of years at 4% p.a. simple interest grows to Rs.120 only. For how many years was the sum invested?
Options:
A)25years
B)15years
C)20years
D)22years
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
From the information provided we know that,
Principal + 8% p.a. interest on principal for n years = 180 …….. (1)
Principal + 4% p.a. interest on principal for n years = 120 ……… (2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get
4% p.a. interest on principal for n years = Rs.60.
Now, we can substitute this value in equation (2),
i.e Principal + 60 = 120
= Principal = Rs.60.
We know that SI = , where p is the principal, n the number of years and r the rate percent of interest.
In equation (2), p = Rs.60, r = 4% p.a. and the simple interest = Rs.60.
Therefore, 60 =(60*n*4)/100
=> n = 100/4 = 25 years.

Question: WHEN A PERSON SELLS TWO ITEMS $1150 each, ONE AT A GAIN OF 20% AND OTHER AT A LOSS OF 20%.THEN THE SELLER INCURES A LOSS OR GAIN OF:
Options:
A)2% gain
B)no loss no gain
C)4% loss
D)1% loss
E)5% gain
Rationale: When two items are sold at the same price, one at a profit of a% and other at a loss of a% (which means the cost price of one item was lower than the selling price and the cost price of the other item was higher than the selling price), there will always be a loss of (a^2)/100 %. e.g. Here a = 20, so loss % = (20)^2/100 % = 4%.

Question: The labeled price of a table is Rs. 8,500. The shopkeeper sold it by giving 5% discount on the labeled price and earned a profit of 15%. What approximately is the cost price of the table?
Options:
A)Rs. 5758
B)Rs. 6195
C)Rs. 6425
D)Rs. 7021
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Labeled price = Rs. 8,500
By giving 5% discount on labeled price, the selling price is
= 95 / 100 * 8500 = Rs. 8075
By earning 15% profit on the selling of price Rs. 8075 the cost price is
= 100 / 115 * 8075 = Rs. 7021.74
Therefore, approximate cost is 7021.74

Options:
A)45(4/11) %
B)45 %
C)45(5/11) %
D)44(5/11) %
E)None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
Total runs scored = 110
Total runs scored from boundaries and sixes = 3 x 4 + 8 x 6 = 60
Total runs scored by running between the wickets = 110 - 60 = 50
Required % = (50/110) × 100 = 500/11 = 45(5/11)%
