Question: in a school the ratio of boys and girls are in the ration 5:6 .25% of boys will get scholar ship and 20% of girls will get scholar ship what % of students wont get scholarship?
Options:
A)60%
B)78%
C)88%
D)98%
E)99%
Rationale: Boys : Girls => 5x : 6x
Total no. of students including boys nd girls = 5x+6x = 11x
25% of boys => 5x*25/100 = 5x/4
20% of girls => 6x*20/100 =6x/5
No. of students who are getting scholarship => 5x/4 + 6x/5 = 49x/20
No. of students who are not getting scholarship = 11x - 49x/20 = 171x/20
% of students not getting scolorship => 171x/20/11x * 100
=> 100*171x/220x
= 77.7%

Question: A car drives 60 miles on local roads at 20 mph, and 120 miles on the highway at 60 mph, what is the average speed of the entire trip?
Options:
A)36 mph
B)40 mph
C)44 mph
D)52 mph
E)58 mph
Rationale: So The Answer is Plainly A....
we have a general relation for speed , time and distance : v (velocity) * t ( time)= d (distance)
for first part we have d=60 miles , and v= 20 mph so we can obtain time : 20*t = 60 Or t= 60/20 = 3 hours the needed time to cover 60 miles
in the same way we should divide 120 to 60 to find the needed time to cover 120 miles ,so t= 2 hours
so the total time for covering total distance would be 3+2 = 5 hours and total distance is 60+120= 180 miles
Final stage : average speed is total distance divide to total time : 180/5 = 36 miles per hour....
Answer: A
Question: A barrel holds 4 quarts of tar and 4 quarts of turpentine. How many quarts of turpentine must be added to the container to create a mixture that is 3 parts tar to 5 parts turpentine by volume?
Options:
A)4/3
B)5/3
C)7/3
D)8/3
E)10/3
Rationale: An alternate to the alligation method is the more direct/algebraic method:
Let x be the amount of turpentine to be added.
New total amount of turpentine = 4+x
Total amount of tar= 4
New total = 4+4+x=8+x
Final ratio required (for turpentine) = 5/(5+3)=5/8
Thus, (4+x)/(8+x) = 5/8 --> solving for x you get x = 8/3.
D is thus the correct answer.

Question: A company selected 250 zip codes in Northeastern, Florida, Arizona and California in order to mail a product catalog. The number of Northeastern zip codes was twice Florida's, and four times Arizona's, and 4/3 California's. 75,000 catalogues were mailed to California and 25% resulted in product orders. What is the ratio of the number of orders to the number of California's zip codes?
Options:
A)a) 250
B)b) 750
C)c) 1,000
D)d) 1,250
E)e) 1,500
Rationale: Since N = 2F, no of Florida zip codes (F) will be N/2.
Since N = 4A, no of Arizona zip codes (A) will be N/4
Since N = (4/3)C, no of California zip codes (C) will be 3N/4
N + N/2 + N/4 + 3N/4 = 5N/2 = 250
N = 100
C = 3N/4 = 75
No of orders is 25% of 75,000 = 18,750
So required ratio = 18,750/75 = 250

Question: For any four digit number, abcd, *abcd*= (3^a)(5^b)(7^c)(11^d). What is the value of (n – m) if m and n are four digit numbers for which *m* = (3^r)(5^s)(7^t)(11^u) and *n* = (25)(*m*)?
Options:
A)2000
B)200
C)25
D)20
E)2
Rationale: bcd is a four digit number where a, b, c and d are the 4 digits.
*abcd*= (3^a)(5^b)(7^c)(11^d). The '**' act as an operator.
Given: *m* = (3^r)(5^s)(7^t)(11^u)
So m = rstu where r, s, t, and u are the 4 digits of m.
Say, r = 1 and s = 0, t = 0 and u = 0
m = 1000
Then *m* = 3
Now,
*n* = (25)(*m*) = 25(3) = (3^1)(5^2)(7^0)(11^0)
n = 1200
n - m = 1200 - 1000 = 200

Question: 9 engines consume 24 metric tonnes of coal, when each is working 8 hours day. How much coal is required for 8 engines, each running 13 hours a day, if 3 engines of former type consume as much as 4 engines of latter type?
Options:
A)20 metric tonnes
B)22 metric tonnes
C)24 metric tonnes
D)26 metric tonnes
E)28 metric tonnes
Rationale: Explanation:
Let required amount of coal be x metric tones
More engines, more amount of coal (direct proportion)
If 3 engines of first type consume 1 unit, then 1 engine will consume 13 unit which is it’s the rate of consumption.
If 4 engines of second type consume 1 unit, then 1 engine will consume 14 unit which is it’s the rate of consumption
More rate of consumption, more amount of coal (direct proportion)
More hours, more amount of coal(direct proportion)
Hence we can write as
(engines) 9:8
(consumption rate )13:14
(hours) 8:13::24}::x
⇒9×1/3×8×x=8×1/4×13×24

Question: When Alice entered the Forest of Forgetfulness, she forgot the day of
the week. She met the Lion and the Unicorn resting under a tree. The
Lion lies on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and tells the truth
on the other days of the week. The Unicorn, on the other hand, lies
on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, but tells the truth on the other
days of the week. They made the following statements:
Lion: \Yesterday was one of my lying days."
Unicorn: \Yesterday was one of my lying days."
From these two statements, Alice was able to deduce the day of the
week. What day was it?
Options:
A)Monday
B)Wednesday
C)Thursday
D)Friday
E)Sunday
Rationale: If the Lion is telling the truth, the day of the week must be Thursday. If he
is lying, then the day of the week must be Monday. So the day of the week must be
either Thursday or Monday. If the Unicorn is telling the truth, the day of the week must
be Sunday. If he is lying, then the day of the week must be Thursday. The day of the
week cannot be Sunday (since we have already said that it must be Thursday or Monday).
Therefore, it must be Thursday

Question: How many integers are between 7 and 57/4, inclusive?
Options:
A)4
B)5
C)7
D)8
E)10
Rationale: 57/4 = 14.xx
We are not concerned about the exact value of 57/4 as we just need the integers.
Since the values are small, we can write down the integers.
The different integers between 7 and 57/4 would be 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,13,14
Total number of integers = 8
Option D
Answer: D
Question: If the sum of 6 consecutive integers is y, which of the following must be true?
I. y is an even number
II. y is an odd number
III. y is a multiple of 6
Options:
A) I only
B) II only
C) III and I only
D) I onlyII
E) II and III
Rationale: I. If you start off with an even number, the sum (y) is even, and if you start off with an odd number the sum (y) is odd. Therefore this is not always true.
II. Same as above. This need not be always true.
III. Say, the first number is p. Then the sum of the five numbers = p + (p+1) + (p+2)...... + (p+4)
= 6p + 12 = 6 (p+2) => divisible by 6. There this must be true in all cases.
Therefore D is the answer.
Answer: D
Question: A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 126 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
Options:
A)338
B)240
C)560
D)267
E)191
Rationale: Speed = (126 * 5/18) m/sec = 35 m/sec. Length of the train = (35 x 20)m = 700 m. Let the length of the platform be x meters. Then, (x + 700)/36 = 35 ==> x + 700 = 1260 ==>
x = 560 m.
Answer: C
Answer: C
Question: If f(x) = 12 - x^2/2 and f(2k) = 6k, what is one possible value for k?
Options:
A)2
B)3
C)4
D)6
E)8
Rationale: First of all, see thisGMAT blog postand check the related lesson linked below for some background on function notation.
We can plug anything in for x and get a result. You can find f(1), for example, by plugging in 1 where x is, and you would get 12 - 1/2 = 11.5. Or we could find f(2), which would be 12 - 4/2 = 10.
So the notation f(2k) means that we are going to plug a 2k in for x everywhere in the formula for f(x). That would be:
f(2k) = 12 - (2k)^2/2 = 12 - 2k^2.
Remember that we have to square both the 2 and the k, to get 4k2. Now, this expression, the output, we will set equal to 2k.
12 - 2k^2 = 2k --> k = -3 or k = 6.
All the answers are positive, so we choose k = 2.

Answer: D
Question: Two sides of triangle are ln(50) and ln(8), third side is ln(n). Find out the number of possible values of n?
Options:
A)392
B)398
C)393
D)395
E)399
Rationale: Explanation :
Sum of two sides of a triange is always greater than the third side
case 1:
So, ln(50) + ln(8) > ln(n)
=> ln(50x8) > ln(n) ( ∵ log (a) + log(b) = log(ab) )
=> 400 > n
i.e. n < 400
logax is defined for x > 0. So, n will be greater than 0
So, 0 < n < 400
case 2:
So, ln(50) + ln(n) > ln(8)
=> ln(50n) > ln(8) ( ∵ log (a) + log(b) = log(ab) )
=> 50n > 8
i.e. n > 4/25
case 3:
So, ln(8) + ln(n) > ln(50)
=> ln(8n) > ln(50) ( ∵ log (a) + log(b) = log(ab) )
=> 8n > 50
i.e. n > 25/4
Combining results from case 1, case 2 and case 3 we get:
25/4 < n < 400
So, range of integral values of n satisfying the above condition is: 7 ≦ n ≦ 400
Hence no of integral values of n are: 393

Answer: C
Question: If two different numbers are randomly selected from set { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 4?
Options:
A)2/5
B)3/5
C)4/5
D)6/5
E)7/5
Rationale: First problem is 5C2 = 10 .. Not 20..
Point 2, you sum should be greater than 4, so these are the following possibilities you have
({1,4},{1,5},{2,3},{2,4},{2,5},{3,4},{3,5},{4,5}) which leads to 8 pairs
So the probability is 8 on 10 or 4/5..

Question: The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling alongthe oundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 min, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is?
Options:
A)143600 m
B)144600 m
C)153600 m
D)162600 m
E)165600 m
Rationale: Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = 12000 x 8 m = 1600 m.
60
Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.
Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.
Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.
Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m
