Question: Given the following factorials (x+3)!, (x-2)!, and (x+4)! what is the value of x if the greatest common divisor is 720?
Options:
A)8
B)9
C)7
D)6
E)10
Rationale: GCD of (x+3)!, (x-2)!, and (x+4)! is 720. Find x.
Best way to find n is substitute each of the answer and find out the correct one.
I started with A.
Try 8 and find GCD or 11!, 6! and 12!. 6! itself is 720 and 6! which is contained in the other two factorials. This satisfies the condition, hence answer is 7. Also, we can eliminate all other answers as they are less than 7 and n-2 turns out to be less than 5! and hence cannot have a divisor of 120.
Answer is A.

Question: At a circular table for seven will sit five adults and two small children. The two children will sit next to each other, and the two parents of the children will sit next to the children so that there is one parent on each side of the two children. If rotating their positions around the table is not considered changing the arrangement, in how many different ways can the seven people be arranged around the table.
Options:
A)16
B)24
C)32
D)48
E)64
Rationale: Consider the two parents and two children as one unit.
Then there are three adults and one family unit.
The number of ways 4 can form a line is 4!
Around a circular table, there would be 4 rotations so we divide this number by 4.
There are 3! ways for 4 to sit around the circular table.
Then the two children have two options and the two parents have two options.
Then the total number of ways is 3!*2*2= 24
The answer is B.

Rationale: Suppose C's capital =x. Then,
B's capital =4x (Since B's capital is four times C's capital)
A's capital =6x (Since twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital)
A : B : C =6x:4x:x
= 6 : 4 : 1
B's share
=16500×4/11
=1500×4=6000

Question: (x + 7) is a factor in x^2 - mx - 35. What is the value of m?
Options:
A)-3
B)-2
C)-4
D)-5
E)-6
Rationale: I solved the second degree equation and found it like this:
x^2 - mx - 35
(x-5)(x+7)
x=5 or x= -7
Substituting both values for x in the equation we find:
x^2 - mx - 35
=> (-7)^2 - m(-7) = 35
=> 49 + 7m =35
=> 7m = 35-49 = -14
=> m = -2
And with 5, using a similar process we end up with:
(5)^2 - m(5) = 35
-10=5m
m=-2

Question: Three is the largest number that can be divided evenly into 27 and the positive integer x, while 10 is the largest number that can be divided evenly into both 100 and x. Which of the following is the largest possible number that could be divided into x and 2400
Options:
A)30
B)70
C)210
D)240
E)700
Rationale: 27 = 3*3*3, and its GCF with x is 3, which implies that x has ONE factor of 3, but not TWO factors of 3.
100 and x have a GCF of 10, which implies that x has ONE factor of 10, but not TWO factors of 10.
Then we want to know what is the largest possible GCF of x and 2100.
Well 2400 = 6 * 4 * 10 * 10
We want x to include as many factors in common with 2100 as possible, to make the GCF with 2100 as big as possible.
We know x has one factor of 3, but not two factors --- that takes the 3.
We know x has one factor of 10, but not two factors --- we can take one of those 10's, but we have to leave the other
No other restrictions, so we can also grab that factor of 7 --- nothing saying that we can't, and it's there for the taking.
6*4*10 = 240
If we allow x to include as many factors as possible, within the constraints given, that is the most x could have in common with 2100.

Rationale: Let C's age be x years.
Then, B's age = 2x years.
A's age = (2x + 2) years.
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 32
5x = 30 => x = 6
Hence, B's age = 2x = 12 years.

Options:
A)20
B)27
C)48
D)60
E)87
Rationale: First, I only focus on Tajima's. Let x be hybrid Tajima's and y be non hybrid Tajima's. We know that x + y = 205 and we know that y=3x-35, Therefore we can conclude that x= 60 and y= 145
