Question: In a certain warehouse, 30 percent of the packages weigh less than 75 pounds, and a total of 48 packages weigh less than 25 pounds. If 80 percent of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds, how many of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds but less than 75 pounds?
Options:
A)8
B)64
C)24
D)102
E)144
Rationale: If 80% of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds
This means that 20% of the packages weigh LESS THAN 25 pounds
Let T = TOTAL number of packages
So, 20% of T = # of packages that weigh LESS THAN 25 pounds
48 packages weigh LESS THAN 25 pounds
GREAT. So, 20% of T = 48
Rewrite to get: 0.2T = 48
Solve:T = 240
30% of the packages weigh less than 75 pounds
So, 30% ofT= number of packages that weigh less than 75 pounds
30% of240=72, so72packages weigh less than 75 pounds
OF THOSE72packages that weigh less than 75 pounds,48packages weigh less than 25 pounds.
So, the number of packages that weight BETWEEN 25 and 75 pounds =72-48= 24 = C

Question: A man can hit a target once in 9 shots. If he fires 4 shots in succession, how many ways that he will hit his target?
Options:
A)71/2
B)81/13
C)81/3
D)5/8
E)91/3
Rationale: The man will hit the target if he hits it once or twice or thrice or all four times in the four shots that he takes.
So, the only possibility when the man will not hit the target is when he fails to hit the target in even one of the four shots that he takes.
The event of not hitting the target even once is the complement of the event of hitting the target at least once.
The probability that he will not hit the target in any given shot = 1 - 1/9 = 8/9
Therefore, the probability that he will not hit the target in any of the four shots = 8/9^4 = 5/8

Question: A merchant purchased a jacket for $30 and then determined a selling price that equaled the purchase price of the jacket plus a markup that was 25 percent of the selling price. During a sale, the merchant discounted the selling price by 20 percent and sold the jacket. What was the merchant’s gross profit on this sale?
Options:
A)$2
B)$3
C)$4
D)$12
E)$15
Rationale: Let selling price = x
So, x = 30 + 25x/100
Calculating above, x = 40
Selling price = 40
20% Discount on Selling price = 32
So, profit = 32-30 = 2 Answer = A

Question: If 20 men can build a water fountain 56 metres long in 14 days, what length of a similar water fountain can be built by 35 men in 3 days?
Options:
A)21 m
B)24 m
C)27 m
D)29 m
E)30 m
Rationale: Explanation :
Let the required length be x metres
More men, More length built (Direct Proportion)
Less days, Less length built (Direct Proportion)
Men 20: 35
Days 14: 3 : : 56 : x
Therefore (20 x 14 x x)=(35 x 3 x 56)
x=(35 x 3 x 56)/280=49
Hence, the required length is 21 m.

Question: On the xy co-ordinate plane, point C is (5,-2) and point D is (-1,3.5). The point on line segment CD that is twice as far from C as from D is:
Options:
A)(1,-1)
B)(1,1)
C)(2,0.25)
D)(3,0.5)
E)(3,1)
Rationale: We want the point on the line that is twice as far from C as it is from D. We can examine the x and y coordinates separately since they are independent.
*It should be noted that there are two solutions to this problem, one point between C and D, and another point with D in the middle of C and the point. We can quickly look at the answer choices and see that all the points are between C and D, therefore we can search for that point using the following method:
Taking the x-coordinate first, the distance between C and D is |(x-coordinate of C) - (x-coordinate of D)|= |5 - (-1)| = 6
The x-coordinate that is twice as far from C as it is from D (and in between C and D) will be 4 units from C and 2 units from D. So the x coordinate of the point we're looking for is 5-4 = 1, or (-1)+2 = 1.
Now looking at the y-coordinate, we do the same thing. The distance between C and D is |(-2) - 2.5| = 4.5
The y-coordinate that is twice as far from C as it is from D (and in between C and D) will be 3 units from C and 1.5 units from D. So the y coordinate of the point we're looking for is (-2)+3 = 1, or 2.5-1.5 = 1.
So now we have our coordinates of the point on the line that is twice as far from C as it is from D: (3,0.5)

Question: If a randomly selected non-negative single digit integer is added to {2, 3, 4, 9}. What is the probability that the median of the set will increase but the range still remains the same?
Options:
A)0.2
B)0.3
C)0.4
D)0.5
E)0.6
Rationale: We are selecting from non-negative single digit integers, so from {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. These 10 digits represent the total number of outcomes.
Hence, the total number of outcomes is 10.
We need to find the probability that the median of the set will increase but the range still remains the same.
The median of the set is (3 + 4)/2 = 3.5, thus the number selected must be 4 or greater.
For the range to remain the same, the number must be between 2 and 9 inclusive.
To satisfy both conditions, the number selected must be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
The probability is 6/10 = 0.6

Question: When d is divided by 5, the remainder is 3. When y is divided by 5, the remainder is 4. What is the remainder when d + y is divided by 5?
Options:
A)0
B)1
C)2
D)3
E)4
Rationale: In my view the answer should be C
d/5 has Remainder=3 -> d = 5 x Q + 3
Y/5 has a Remainder=4 -> Y = 5 x Q + 3
Combining both
((5 x Q1 + 3) + (5 x Q2 + 3))/5 =
5(Q1+Q2)/5 + 7/5 =
Q1+Q2 + 7/5
7/5 = 1+ 2/5 => Remainder 2

Options:
A)33
B)28
C)99
D)27
E)18
Rationale: Direct formula from our lesson on factors. Click Here.
The number of factors or divisors of a number N=ap.bq.cr...N=ap.bq.cr... = (p+1).(q+1).(r+1)... where a, b, c ... prime numbers.
1728 = 26×3326×33
So total number of divisors = (6 + 1).(3 + 1) = 28
