Question: A certain scholarship committee awarded scholarships in the amounts of $1250, $2500 and $4000. The Committee awarded twice as many $2500 scholarships as $4000 and it awarded three times as many $1250 scholarships as $2500 scholarships. If the total of $52500 was awarded in $1250 scholarships, how many $4000 scholarships were awarded?
Options:
A)7
B)6
C)9
D)10
E)15
Rationale: Since the starting point is given as the $4000 scholarship,
Assume $4000 scholarships to be x
By the given information, $2500 scholarships = 2x
and $1250 scholarships = 6x
Gievn: Total $1250 scholarships = $52500
6x*1250 = 52500

Question: In a garden, there are yellow and green flowers which are straight and curved. If the probability of picking a green flower is 3/4 and picking a straight flower is 1/2, then what is the probability of picking a flower which is yellow and curved
Options:
A)1/8
B)1/6
C)1/4
D)3/4
E)7/8
Rationale: Good question.
So we have a garden where all the flowers have two properties: color (green or yellow) and shape (straight or curved).
We're told that 3/4 of the garden is green, so, since all the flowers must be either green or yellow, we know that 1/4 are yellow. We're also told there is an equal probability of straight or curved, 1/2.
We want to find out the probability of something being yellow and straight, Pr( Yellow and Straight ).
So if we recall, the probability of two unique events occurring simultaneously is the product of the two probabilities, Pr( A and B ) = P(A) * P(B). So we multiply the two probabilities, Pr(yellow)* Pr(curved) = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8, or A.
Answer: A
Question: The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1:3:8. Find the measurement of the three angles of triangle.
Options:
A)100°
B)110°
C)120°
D)140°
E)160°
Rationale: If the ratio of the three angles is 1:3:8, then the measures of these angles can be written as x, 3x and 8x. Also the sum of the three interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. Hence
x + 3x + 8x = 180
Solve for x
12x = 180
x = 15
The measures of the three angles are
x = 15°
3x = 3 × 15 = 45°
8x = 8 × 15 = 120°

Question: A fence consists of m lengths of fence that are each n feet long. A fence post separates each length of fence by its width of x feet. What is the total length H of the fence including the fence posts on each end?
Options:
A)mn
B)m(n + x)
C)H=m(n + x) + x
D)m(n + x) + 2x
E)2mn
Rationale: Notice that since a fence post separates each length of fence, then there will be m+1 posts, for example if there are m=2 fences, then there will be 3 posts: PFPFP. Thus the total length H of the posts is (m+1)x.
The total length of the fence is mn, therefore the total length of the fence including the fence posts on each end is (m+1)x+mn=mx+x+mn=m(n+x)+x.

Question: A and B start a business, with A investing the total capital of Rs.50000, on the condition that B pays A interest @ 10% per annum on his half of the capital. A is a working partner and receives Rs.1500 per month from the total profit and any profit remaining is equally shared by both of them. At the end of the year, it was found that the income of A is twice that of B. Find the total profit for the year?
Options:
A)59099
B)59009
C)590055
D)59000
E)59001
Rationale: Interest received by A from B = 10% of half of Rs.50000 = 10% * 25000 = 2500.
Amount received by A per annum for being a working partner = 1500 * 12 = Rs.18000.
Let 'P' be the part of the remaining profit that A receives as his share. Total income of A = (2500 + 18000 + P)
Total income of B = only his share from the remaining profit = 'P', as A and B share the remaining profit equally.
Income of A = Twice the income of B
(2500 + 18000 + P) = 2(P)
P = 20500
Total profit = 2P + 18000
= 2*20500 + 18000 = 59000.Answer: D

Question: If 21 lines are drawn in a plane such that no two of them are parallel and no three are concurrent, then in how many points do they intersect?
Options:
A)150
B)170
C)190
D)210
E)230
Rationale: If two lines are not parallel, then they will intersect in exactly one point. Lines can be extended infinitely on both ends so somewhere they will intersect with each other if they are not parallel. We are also given that no three lines are concurrent. This means that no three lines intersect at the same point. So every pair of two lines we select will have a unique point of intersection which they will not share with any third line.
The number of ways to select 2 lines from 21 lines is 21C2 = 210

Question: In the xy plane line m has the equation 4x + y = u. Line n passes through the origin and is perpendicular to line m. If point p has the coordinates (r, r+1) and is on both line n and m what is the value of r?
Options:
A)-4/3
B)1/4
C)-4
D)3/4
E)4/3
Rationale: The equation of line m is y=-4x+u. Now, since line n is perpendicular to line m, then its slope is negative reciprocal of the slope of line m, so the slope of n is 1/4. Next, as line n passes through the origin (0, 0) and has the slope of 1/4 then its equation is y=1/4*x.
Point (r, r+1) lies on line n means that (r+1)=1/4*r --> r=-4/3.

Question: power windows: 60%
anti-lock brakes: 25%
CD player: 75%
The table above shows the number of vehicles at Bill's car dealership that have certain features. No vehicle has all three features, but 10% have power windows and anti-lock brakes, 15% have anti-lock brakes and a CD player, and 22% have power windows and a CD player. What percent of the vehicles at Bill's car dealership have a CD player but no power windows or anti-lock brakes?
Options:
A)25
B)18
C)11
D)38
E)0
Rationale: Answer: D
Were looking for the number of cars with a CD player but no other features. We know that 40% of the cars have a CD player, 15% have a CD player and anti-lock brakes, while 22% have a CD player and power windows. Since no car has all three features, those account for all of the possibilities except for what were looking for.
If a car has a CD player, it must either have anti-lock brakes, power windows, or no other features. Since the total of cars with a CD player is 75%, we can set up the following equation:
75=15+22+x
x=38, choiceD.
Answer: D
Question: If 3/w + 3/x = 3/y and wx = y, then the average (arithmetic mean) of w and x is
Options:
A)1/2
B)1
C)2
D)4
E)8
Rationale: Given: 3/w + 3/x = 3/ywx=y
Find: (w+x)/2 = ?
3(1/w + 1/x) = 3(1/y) - divide both sides by 3
(1/w + 1/x) = 1/y
(x+w)/wx = 1/wx - sub'd in y=wx
x+w - 1 = 0
x+w = 1
Therefore (w+x)/2 = 1/2
Ans: A
Answer: A
Question: Points A, B, and C lie, in that order, on a straight railroad track. The distance from point A to point B is twice the distance from point B to point C. A train traveled from point A to point C without stopping. The train's average speed when traveling from point A to point B was 50 miles per hour and the train's average speed when traveling from point B to point C was 25 miles per hour. What was the train's average speed, in miles per hour, when traveling from point A to point C?
Options:
A)20
B)25
C)30
D)35
E)15
Rationale: Average speed = distance/time
Because we are looking for average speed we can pick a distance for the variable d.
Speed A-B = 50
Speed B-C = 25
Average Speed = total distance/total rate
rate = distance/time
A====================B==========C
If A-B is twice the length of B-C then let A-B = 2d and let B-C = d
Average speed = 3d/(2d/50) + (d/25)
3d/(2d/50) + (2d/50)
3d/(4d/50)
150d/10d
Average speed = 15

Question: In the xy-plane, the points (c, d), (c, -d), and (-c, -d) are three vertices of a certain square. If c < 0 and d > 0, which of the following points P is in the same quadrant as the fourth vertex of the square?
Options:
A)(-5, -3)
B)(-5, 3)
C)(5, -3)
D)(3, -5)
E)(3, 5)
Rationale: The question:In the xy-plane, the points P=(c, d), (c, -d), and (-c, -d) are three vertices of a certain square.If c < 0 and d > 0,which of the following points is in the same quadrant as the fourth vertex of the square?
I marked the tricky part in red. It seems c is anegativenumber and d is a positive number. This means
Vertex #1 = (c, d) is in QII (that is, negative x and positive y)
Vertex #2 = (c, -d) is in QIII (that is, both xy negative)
Vertex #3 = (-c, -d) is in QIV (that is y is negative, but x is positive)
That means the last vertex should be in the first quadrant --- the only first quadrant point is (5, 3), answer =E.
Answer: E
Question: A certain shirt was marked down 10% the first week and another 20% the next week. What percent of the regular price was the final cost of the shirt after the two markdowns?
Options:
A)30%
B)36%
C)40%
D)72%
E)80%
Rationale: If the price of the shirt is 100, and it is marked down by 10% and then 20% or charged 90% of the price first and 80% of the price of reduced price, the final price is :-
100*90*80/10000= 72
72% is the final price of old price.
