Question: Lexy walks 5 miles from point A to point G in one hour, then bicycles back to point A along the same route at 15 miles per hour. Ben makes the same round trip, but does so at half of Lexy’s average speed. How many minutes does Ben spend on his round trip?
Options:
A)40
B)80
C)120
D)160
E)180
Rationale: Lexy walks 5 miles from point A to point G in one hour, then bicycles back to point A along the same route at 15 miles per hour. Ben makes the same round trip, but does so at half of Lexy’s average speed. How many minutes does Ben spend on his round trip?
Average speed = total distance/total time
We know the total distance is 5+5 (going from A to G then from G to A)
Time = distance/speed
Time = 5/15
Time = 1/3 hour
Average speed = (10)/(1hr + 1/3hr)
Average speed (lexi) = 10 / 1.33
Therefore, if Ben's average speed is 1/2 of lexi's then his speed = 10/2.66.
This means it took him 2.66 hours to cover the same 10 miles Lexi did. 2.66 hours = roughly 160 minutes.

Question: A certain series is defined by the following recursive rule: Sq=K(Sq-1) , where k is a constant. If the 1st term of this series is 64 and the 25th term is 192, what is the 9th term?
Options:
A)ROOT 2
B)ROOT 3
C)64*ROOT 3
D)64*3^1/3
E)64*3^24
Rationale: Ans...D
No need for any GP formula here
The rule is that qth term is K times the (q-1)th term.
1st = 64
2nd = k.64
3rd = k^2.64
.
.
.
9th term = k^8 *64
.
.
.
so 25th = k^24*64
Using this solve for k and substitute k in the equation for the 9th term

Question: There are 6 boxes numbered 1, 2, ... 6. Each box is to be filled up either with a red or a green ball in such a way that at least 1 box contains a green ball and the boxes containing green balls are consecutively numbered. The total number of ways in which this can be done is:
Options:
A)5
B)21
C)33
D)60
E)6
Rationale: Explanatory Answer
List down possibilities: From only 1 box all the way to all 6
If only one of the boxes has a green ball, it can be any of the 6 boxes. So, we have 6 possibilities.
If two of the boxes have green balls and then there are 5 consecutive sets of 2 boxes. 12, 23, 34, 45, 56.
If 3 of the boxes have green balls, there are 4 possibilities: 123, 234, 345, 456.
If 4 boxes have green balls, there are 3 possibilities: 1234, 2345, 3456.
If 5 boxes have green balls, there are 2 possibilities: 12345, 23456.
If all 6 boxes have green balls, there is just 1 possibility.
Total number of possibilities = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21.

Question: At a particular pizza shop, a pizza can be created from any combination of 3 different types of spice, 7 different types of meat, among which are pepperoni and anchovies, and 4 different types of cheese. If a customer at the shop decides to order a pizza with 1 type of spice, 2 types of cheese, and 4 types of meat but without pepperoni and anchovies together, how many possible ways to garnish the pizza are available to the customer?
Options:
A)6
B)35
C)120
D)450
E)740
Rationale: Number of possible ways to select 1 type of spice = 3c1 = 3
Number of possible ways to select 2 types of cheese = 4c2 = 6
(Here we can pick our answer as D- 450 since it is the only answer that is divisible by 3*6= 18 , but most likely on the GMAT there will be more another answer that will be divisible by 18 )
Number of possible ways to select 4 types of meat but without pepperoni and anchovies together
= Total number of ways without any restriction - Total number of ways in which pepperoni and anchovies together
= 7c4 - 5c2
=35 - 10
=25
Possible ways to garnish the pizza are available to the customer = 3*6 * 25
=450

Answer: D
Question: A large petrol tank has two inlet tubes (a large one and a small one) and one outlet tube. It takes 3 hours to fill the tank with the large inlet tube. On the other hand, it takes 6 hours to fill the tank with the small inlet tube. The outlet tube allows the full tank to be emptied in 9 hours.
What fraction of the tank (initially empty) will be filled in 0.64 hours if all three tubes are in operation? Give your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 0.25, 0.5, or 0.75).
Options:
A)0.25
B)0.26
C)0.27
D)0.28
E)0.29
Rationale: Solution:
In one hour,
Soln 1:
the large inlet tube fills 1 / 3 of the tank;
the small inlet tube fills 1 / 6 of the tank;
the outlet tube empties 1 / 9 of the tank; and therefore
all three tubes together fill [ (1 / 3) + (1 / 6) − (1 / 9) ] of the tank.
Fraction of the tank that will be filled in 0.64 hours =
0.64 [ (1 / 3) + (1 / 6) − (1 / 9) ] = 0.25.
Soln 2:
Let V be the total volume of the tank. From equation (1),
Flow Rate (large inlet tube) = V / 3
Flow Rate (small inlet tube) = V / 6
Flow Rate (outlet tube) = V / 9.
Substituting in equation (2),
Rate of Accumulation in tank = (V / 3) + (V / 6) − (V / 9).
Using the above result in equation (1),
Time required to fill the complete tank = V / [ (V / 3) + (V / 6) − (V / 9) ].
Note that V cancels out on simplifying the above expression.
Fraction of the tank that will be filled in 0.64 hours =
0.64 [ (1 / 3) + (1 / 6) − (1 / 9) ] = 0.25.

E)17
Rationale: x + y + z = x/14 + x + x/7
= (1 + 14 + 2 )x/14 = 17x/14
17 is not divisible by 14(it's a prime #), so for least value, x = 14

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)3 hrs 65 min
B)3 hrs 45 min
C)3 hrs 48 min
D)3 hrs 25 min
E)3 hrs 85 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.

Question: If 4 people are selected from a group of 10 married couples, what is the probability that none of them would be married to each other?
Options:
A)1/33
B)2/63
C)1/3
D)43/62
E)11/12
Rationale: If we are to select 4 people from 10 couples WITHOUT any restriction, how many ways can we make the selection? 20!/4!16! =4845
If we are to select 4 people from 10 couples WITH restriction that no married couple can both make it to the group, only a representative?
10!/4!6! = 210
But we know that to select a person from each couple, take 2 possibilities
210*2*2*2*2 = 3360
Probability = Desired/All Possibilities =3360/4845 = 43/62

Question: (8^15)+(16^13)+(4^24) = ?
Options:
A)(4)*(2^29+1)
B)(6)*(2^48)
C)(9)*(2^49)
D)(28)*(2^53)
E)2^148
Rationale: I think you are assuming that (X^Y) + (X^Z) is = (X^Y+Z) which is not true, as it only applies to multiplication. Rather it would have to be (X^Y)(X^Z) = (X^YZ)
So when you simplify down to 2^48 + 2^52 + 2^48 you cannot just add exponents.
Here's how my brain works with this one,
Step 1: Recognize a common base.
(8^16) + (16^13) + (4^24) = ((2^2)^16) + ((2^4)^13) + ((2^2)^24) = (2^48) + (2^52) + (2^48)
Step 2: Recognize the factor and pull out of the equation.
= (2^48)(1 + (2^4) + 1)
= (2^48)(1 + 16 + 1)
= (2^48)(18)
Step 3: Recognize this is not an answer and adapt.
(2^48)(18) = (2^48)(2)(9) = (2^49+1)(4)
Answer is A.

(A’s 1 day’s work): (B’s 1 day’s work)= 2 : 1.
(A + B)'s 1 day’s work = 1/16
Divide 1/14 in the ratio 2 : 1.
∴ A’s 1 day’s work = (1/14 x2/3)= 1/24
Hence,A alone can finish the work in 24 days.

Question: How many positive integers H between 200 and 300 (both inclusive) are not divisible by 2, 3 or 5?
Options:
A)3
B)16
C)75
D)24
E)26
Rationale: 1) I figured there are 101 integers (300 - 200 + 1 = 101). Since the set begins with an even and ends with an even, there are 51 evens.
2) Question says integers are not divisible by 2, leaving all of the odds (101 - 51 = 50 integers).
3) Question says integers are not divisible by 5, removing all the integers ending in 5 (already took out those ending in 0). Take out 10 integers (2?5, ? = 0 to 9), leaving us with 40 integers.
4) Now the painstaking part. We have to remove the remaining numbers that are multiples of 3. Those are 201, 207, 213, 219, 231, 237, 243, 249, 261, 267, 273, 279, 291, and 297...a total of 14 numbers. 26 numbers left!

Question: A petrol pump owner mixed leaded and unleaded petrol in such a way that the mixture contains 10% unleaded petrol. What quantity of leaded petrol should be added to 1 ltr mixture so that the percentage of unleaded petrol becomes 5%?
Options:
A)1000 ml
B)900 ml
C)1900 ml
D)1800 ml
E)None of these
Rationale: In 1 lit mixture quantity of unleaded petrol = 100 ml
Let x ml leaded petrol be added, then
5% of (1000 + x) = 100 ml
or, 5 (1000 + x) = 100 × 100
⇒ x = 5000⁄5 = 1000 ml

Question: A certain car can travel 40 minutes on a gallon of gasoline at 70 miles per hour. If the car had started with a full tank and had 8 gallons of gasoline left in its tank at the end, then what percent of the tank was used to travel 80 miles at 60 mph?
Options:
A)15%
B)30%
C)25%
D)20%
E)40%
Rationale: Let, Tank capacity = T gallon
Used Fuel = (T-8) gallons
Distance Travelled (@70 miles/hr) = 80 miles
Distance travelled in 1 gallon = Distance travelled in 40 mins (@60 miles/hr) = (70/70)*40 = 40 miles
Fuel used to travel 80 miles = (80/40) = 2 gallon
i.e. Used fuel = (T-8) = 2 gallon
i.e. T = 10 Gallons
i.e. Used Fuel = (2/10)*100 =20%

Question: There are 7 baskets numbered from 1 to 7 and filled with apples. 10 children are asked to pick apples one by one from each basket such that the number of apples picked by each child from each basket is equal to the number marked on the basket. If there were 1000 apples in total and the baskets were filled in such a way that none of the basket became empty in the process, how many apples were left in the end?
Options:
A)90
B)120
C)250
D)720

Rationale: Each child takes a total of 1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 7*8/2 = 28 apples.
The total number of apples taken by 10 children is 10*28 = 280
The number of apples left in the end is 1000 - 280 = 720 apples.
