Question: For integers x and y, if 91x = 8y, which of the following must be true?
I. y > x
II. x is not a integer
III. The cube root of x is not an integer
Options:
A)I only
B)II only
C)III only
D)I and II
E)None of these
Rationale: Statement 1: y>x
When y=x=0, equation holds but y is not greater than x
When x=-8 and y=-91, equation again holds but x>y
NOT TRUE
Statement 2: y/7 is an integer
Since x and y are integers, 91x and 8y must also be integers.
It is given that 91x=8y
or 13*7*x = 8 y
or 13x = 8y/7
To balance the equation, x must be an integer
NOT TRUE
Statement 3: The cube root of x is an integer
x can be equal to 2*2*2*3 and for this value of x,y will be 13*7*3
So, x may or may not be a cube root.
NOT TRUE

Question: P, Q and R can do a work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. How many days does it need to complete the work if P does the work and he is assisted by Q and R on every third day?
Options:
A)10 days
B)14 days
C)15 days
D)9 days
E)7 days
Rationale: Explanation :
Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/20
Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/30
Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/60
P is working alone and every third day Q and R is helping him
Work completed in every three days = 2 × (1/20) + (1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60) = 1/5
So work completed in 15 days = 5 × 1/5 = 1
Ie, the work will be done in 15 days
ANSWER IS C

Question: A tap can fill a tank in 6 hours. After half the tank is filled three more similar taps are opened. What is the total time taken to fill the tank completely?
Options:
A)3hrs25 min
B)3hrs45 min
C)3hrs75 min
D)3hrs49 min
E)3hrs25 min
Rationale: Time taken by one tap to fill the tank = 3 hrs.
Part filled by the taps in 1 hour = 4 * 1/6 = 2/3
Remaining part = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2
2/3 : 1/2 :: 1 : x
x = 1/2 * 1 * 3/2 = 3/4 hrs. i.e., 45 min
So, total time taken = 3 hrs 45 min.

45
Remaining work = 1 – 23/45
= 17/45
Remaining work is done by both A and B together =
17/45x 90 x 80/90 + 80
= 16 days

Question: A certain experimental mathematics program was tried out in 2 classes in each of 26 elementary schools and involved 32 teachers. Each of the classes had 1 teacher and each of the teachers taught at least 1, but not more than 3, of the classes. If the number of teachers who taught 3 classes is n, then the least and greatest possible values of n, respectively, are
Options:
A)0 and 13
B)0 and 14
C)1 and 10
D)1 and 9
E)2 and 8
Rationale: One may notice that greatest possible values differ in each answer choice in contrast to the least values, which repeat.
To find out the greatest value you should count the total classes (26*2=52), then subtract the total #of teachers since we know from the question that each teacher taught at least one class (52-32=20). Thus we get a number of the available extra-classes for teachers, and all that we need is just to count how many teachers could take 2 more classes, which is 20/2 = 10. So the greatest possible value of the # of teachers who had 3 classes is 10.
Only answer C has this option.
Answer: C
Question: In a sequence, each term is obtained by adding 6 to the preceding one. If the sum of the first 10 terms is equal to 100, what is the result of the addition of the first 30 terms?
Options:
A)2100
B)2170
C)2200
D)2250
E)2400
Rationale: a is first term and d = 6 since the preceding number is always greater than the previous one..
Now 10th term is a+9(6).
Sum of n terms is n/2(first term + last term)and here we have to get sum of 10 terms , we get 10/2 ( a + a+54) = 100 ( given sum of 10 terms is 100)
=> 5(2a+54) = 100
=> 2a+54 = 20
=> a = -17
Now to get sum of first 30 terms , we need to get 30th term value i.e. -17+29(6) = 157.
Sum of first 30 terms = 30/2( -17 + 157) = 2100.
Hence option A is correct answer..
Answer: A
Question: If each data point in a certain set Q is increased by a factor of 5, what happens with the set's standard deviation?
Options:
A)Doesn't Change
B)Decreases by Factor 5
C)Increases by Factor 5
D)Increases by 5
E)Can't be determined
Rationale: Standard deviation questions will always be conceptual in nature, because the GMAT does not require that you be able to calculate standard deviation.Veritasteaches a concept known as themapping strategyfor data sufficiency, which helps make a problem like this easily understandable. The mapping strategy is just looking at data sufficiency with sets of numbers like you would look at a map. Moving left and right on the map does not change the map's scale (which represents standard deviation in this analogy), just as adding or subtracting the same value in all numbers of a set does not change that set's standard deviation. For example, the set: 2, 5, 8, 11 has the same standard deviation of that same set after adding 5 to each number: 7, 10, 13, 16. Multiplying and dividing the entire set by a number other than 1, however, does affect standard deviation, and it does so proportionately. Multiplying by a number with an absolute value greater than 1 is like zooming in on a map...the standard deviation increases. Consider that same set multiplied by 2: 4, 10, 16, 22....this has a larger standard deviation than 2, 5, 8, 11. The opposite goes for division - dividing each number in a set of numbers by a number with an absolute value greater than 1 will reduce standard deviation, like zooming out on a map reduces the map's scale. Here because each number was multiplied by a factor of 5, the standard deviation will increase proportionately, giving us answer choice C.

B)19
C)27
D)26
E)31
Rationale: Number of students taking history =H=36
Number of students taking statistics =S= 32
Total number of students =T= 89
Number of students taking History or Statistics or both =B= 59
Number of students taking neither history nor statistics =N= 89-59=30
LetXbe the number of students taking both history and statistics.
Then
T = H + S + N - X
or 89 = 36 + 32 +30 - X
or X = 9
Now,
Number of students taking only history will be
H-X
or 36-9 = 27

Question: What is the area of an obtuse angled triangle whose two sides are 8 and 12 and the angle included between the two sides is 150o?
Options:
A)24 sq units
B)48 sq units
C)24 under root 3
D)48 under root 3
E)Such a triangle does not exist
Rationale: Explanatory Answer
If two sides of a triangle and the included angle 'y' is known, then the area of the triangle = 1/2 * (Product of sides) * sin y
Substituting the values in the formula, we get 1/2 * 8 * 12 * sin 150o
= 1/2 * 8 * 12 * 1/2.
Note: Sin 150o = 1/2
Area = 24 sq units.

Question: Several people are sitting around a round table playing a card game with a deck of 49 cards. Each person is dealt one card per deal, and the cards are dealt in a clockwise fashion. If Martin is dealt both the first card of the deck and the last card of the deck, which of the following could be the total number of people sitting at the table?
Options:
A)4
B)5
C)7
D)11
E)13
Rationale: Let n be the number of people at the table.
If Martin gets the first and the last card, it means Martin got one more card than the others.
Thus 49/n has a remainder of 1 and so 49-1 = 48 is a multiple of n.
The answer is A.

B)120/11 min. past 2
C)120/11 min. past 1
D)120/11 min. past 5
E)120/11 min. past 4
Rationale: At 2 o'clock, the hour hand is at 2 and the minute hand is at 12, i.e. they are 10 min spaces apart.
To be together, the minute hand must gain 10 minutes over the hour hand.
Now, 55 minutes are gained by it in 60 min.
10 minutes will be gained in (60 x 10)/55 min. = 120/11 min.
The hands will coincide at 120/11 min. past 2.

Question: 9 friends went to a super market, and everyone decided to contribute equally to the total bill of $900. If one of the friends had a coupon for 10% off the total bill, and if each friend still contributed equally after the coupon was applied to the bill, how much did each friend pay?
Options:
A)30
B)60
C)80
D)90
E)95
Rationale: At the non-discounted price, each friend would pay $100, as $900 divided by 9 friends is $100 per friend. But if the bill is 10% off, then each friend would pay 10% less. 10% of $100 is $10, so each friend saves $10 and pays the remaining $90

Options:
A) 25%
B) 50%
C) 75%
D) 100%
E) 200%
Rationale: Mean of D is (-4-1+0+6+9)/5=2;
In order the increase to be minimal we should replace two smallest elements of D, which are -4 and -1, with two smallest primes, which are 2 and 3. Hence our new set will be {2, 3, 0, 6, 9} --> new mean is (2+3+0+6+9)/5=4.
Percent increase=(4-2)/2*100=100%.

A)$3.00
B)$20.75
C)$24.90
D)$42.75
E)$45.00
Rationale: Let number of Apple , Orange , strawberry and grape candies be A, O ,S and G respectively .
A= 2O
S= 2G
A= 2S
A= 4G
A+O+S+G = 90
=>A + A/2 + A/2 +A/4 = 90
=> 9A/4 = 90
=> A = 40
O = 20
S = 20
G = 10
Cost of each candy = .3 $
Mininum amount of money required to guarantee that you would buy at least three of each type of candy
We can buy 40 Apple candies , 20 orange candies , 20 strawberry candies and 3 grape candies to ensure at least 3 of each type of candies .
Total = 83 candies
Amount required = 83 * .3 = 24.90 $

Question: Sari and Ken climb up a mountain. At night, they camp together. On the day they are supposed to reach the summit, Sari wakes up at 05:00 and starts climbing at a constant pace. Ken starts climbing only at 07:00, when Sari is already 700 meters ahead of him. Nevertheless, Ken climbs at a constant pace of 500 meters per hour, and reaches the summit before Sari. If Sari is 50 meters behind Ken when he reaches the summit, at what time did Ken reach the summit?
Options:
A)13:00
B)13:30
C)14:00
D)15:00
E)12:00
Rationale: Both Sari and Ken climb in the same direction.
Speed of Sari = 700/2 = 350 meters/hr (since she covers 700 meters in 2 hrs)
Speed of Ken = 500 meters/hr
At 8:00, distance between Ken and Sari is 700 meters. Ken needs to cover this and another 50 meters.
Time he will take = Total distance to be covered/Relative Speed = (700 + 50)/(500 - 350) = 5 hrs
Starting from 7:00, in 5 hrs, the time will be 12:00

Question: list of salaries of 8 employees are listed below. What is the median salary?
$40,000, $29,000, $35,500, $31,000, $43,000, $30,000, $27,000, $32,000
Options:
A)$28,000
B)$28,500
C)$30,200
D)$30,800
E)$31,500
Rationale: Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:
$27,000, $29,000, $30,000, $31,000, $32,000, $35,500, $40,000, $43,000
Since there is an even number of items in the data set, we compute the median by taking the mean of the two middlemost numbers.
$31,000 + $32,000 = $63,000
The median salary is $31,500.
