Question: Q:Robert purchased $1000 worth of US saving bonds. If bonds are sold in $50 or $100 denominations only, which of the following CANNOT be the number of US saving bonds that Robert purchased?
Options:
A)10
B)12
C)17
D)20
E)30
Rationale: I started off with looking at the answer choices... 10-12-17-20 are in a tight range, so my guess was to look and rule out the bigger numbers.
The total amount is $1000. So with 30 bonds, each $50 = $1500 , we already exceed the $1000 limit. Hence E is the answer.

Question: If S is the sum of the reciprocals of the consecutive integers from 91 to 100, inclusive, which of the following is less than S?
I. 1/10
II. 1/9
III. 1/8
Options:
A)None
B)I only
C)III only
D)II and III only
E)I, II, and III
Rationale: Since we summarize the reciprocals from 100 to 91, we can say also that we add ten numbers who are all (with one exception 1/100) greater than 1/100, so that the sum must be greater than 1/10.
On the other side we can say that we add the reciprocals from 91 to 100, so that the sum has to be less than the sum of ten times 1/91.
We can conclude that the sum has to be less than 1/9 but more than 1/10. That leaves us B as the only possible answer.
Answer: B
Question: A sum of Rs. 427 is to be divided among A, B and C in such a way that 3 times A’s share, 4 times B’s share and 7 times C’s share are all equal. The share of C is ?

Question: Machine A and machine B are each used to manufacture 220 sprockets. It takes machine A 10 hours longer to produce 220 sprockets than machine B. Machine B produces 10 percent more sprockets per hour than machine A. How many sprockets per hour does machine A produces?
Options:
A)2
B)3
C)4
D)5
E)6
Rationale: Machine B: Takes x hours to produce 220 sprockets
Machine A: Takes (x+10) hours to produce 220 sprockets
Machine B: In 1 hour, B makes 220/x sprockets
Machine A: In 1 hour, A makes 220/(x+10) sprockets
Equating:
1.1(220/(x+10)) = 220/x
242/(x+10) = 220/x

Question: A straight fence is to be constructed from posts 8 inches wide and separated by lengths of chain 5 feet long. If a certain fence begins and ends with a post, which of the following couldnotbe the length of the fence in feet? (12 inches = 1 foot)
Options:
A)17
B)28
C)35
D)39
E)50
Rationale: The fence begins and ends with a post: {post = 0.5 feet}{chains = 5 feet}{post = 0.5 feet}...{chains = 5 feet}{post = 0.5 feet}
The minimum length is with 2 posts = 0.5 + 5 + 0.5 = 6 feet. To increase the fence, each time we should add{post = 0.5 feet}{chains = 5 feet}, so 5.5 feet. Thus, the lengths could be:
6 feet;
8 + 5.5 = 13.5 feet;
11.5 + 5.5 = 19 feet;
17 + 5.5 = 24.5 feet;
22.5 + 5.5 = 30 feet;
28 + 5.5 = 35.5 feet;
33.5 + 5.5 = 41 feet.
...
We skipped 39 feet.

B)(5,280 pt) / 12m
C)(5,280 pmt) /12
D)(5,280)(12m) / pt
E)(5,280)(12p) / mt
Rationale: Given that: 1 gallon of paint covers an area ofqsquare feet. Question:how many gallonsof paint will be needed ...
In any case you will have:(total area in square feet)/(gallons per feet)=(total area in square feet)/q, so q must be in the denominator: eliminate all but A and D.
Now, lets see where should be t: (area in square feet)=(width in feet)*(length in feet) --> width=tinchesas1 feet=12 inchesthent inches=t/12 feet, so (area in square feet)=(t/12) * (length in feet), so t must be in the nominator: only A is left.

Question: If 0 < Z < Y, Z is an odd number and Y is a prime number, which of the following can be the value of Z + Y ?
Options:
A)11.
B)13.
C)17.
D)10.
E)15.
Rationale: If Z is odd ,implies Z(odd)+y(odd/even prime)=(Even/Odd)
If Y is even, the 2 is the even prime , therefore y=2z=1 since 0<Z<Y therefore Z+Y =3. But 3 is not an option
which implies y is odd,
Now Z(odd)+Y(odd)=Even
10 is the only option that is even=D

Question: The perimeter of a rectangular yard is completely surrounded by a fence that measures 36 meters. What is the length of the yard if the area of the yard is 40 meters squared?
Options:
A)12
B)10
C)8
D)14
E)16
Rationale: Perimeter of rectangular yard = 2(l + b) = 36 --> l + b = 18
Area = l * b = 40
b = 18 - l
l(18 - l) = 40
18l - l^2 = 40
l^2 - 18l + 40 = 0
Upon simplifying we get l = 5 or 8. Only 8 is there in the answer choice.
