Rationale: Imagine the circle resting on coordinate (0,0) and moving east.
Also magine the point on the circle to start at (0,0).
Let t be the angle between the point on the circle and the center of the circle.
The position of the point on the circle, relative to t, is:
x = rt - r×sin(t)
y = r - r×cos(t)
Taking the derivatives:
dx/dt = r - r×cos(t)
dy/dt = r×sin(t)
The change in arc length can be defined as ( (dx/dt)2 + (dy/dt)2 ) 1/2.
So the total arc length is the integral from 0 to 2pi of ( (dx/dt)2 + (dy/dt)2 ) 1/2.
After a few steps this integral becomes:
r×21/2 × (1-cos(t))1/2.
Using the hint:
r×21/2 × 21/2 × integral of sin(t/2) dt from 0 to 2×pi
= 2×r × (-2×cos(t/w) from 2×pi to 0)
= 8r
Hint: (1-cos(t))0.5 = 20.5×sin(t/2)
Answer: (D) 8r

Question: Ada and Paul received their scores on three tests. On the first test, Ada's score was 10 points higher than Paul's score. On the second test, Ada's score was 4 points higher than Paul's score. If Paul's average (arithmetic mean) score on the three tests was 5 points higher than Ada's average score on the three tests, then Paul's score on the third test was how many points higher than Ada's score?
(A) 9
(B) 14
(C) 17
(D) 29
(E) 25
Rationale: My take is Option D (23)
I followed a simple approach (explained below):
Test 1: Ada's score = Paul's score + 10
Test 2: Ada's score = Paul's score + 4
Avg. of Paul's score = 5 points higher than Avg. of Ada's score
This implies that : Sum of Paul's score [3 Tests] = 15 points higher than Sum of Ada's score [3 Tests] (9 points higher since 3 points were given in terms of average of 3 scores)
So, Paul needs to score 29 points higher than Ada in Test 3, since Paul needs to compensate for the lower score in test 1 and Test 2 ( 29 = 10 + 4 + 15)
D
Answer: (D) 29

Question: How many 3 digit positive integers exist that when divided by 7 leave a remainder of 5?
(A) 128
(B) 142
(C) 143
(D) 141
(E) 129
Rationale: Explanatory Answer
Step 1: Find the first and last term of the series
The smallest 3-digit positive integer that leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 7 is 103.
The largest 3-digit positive integer that leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 7 is 999.
The series of numbers that satisfy the condition that the number should leave a remainder of 5 when divided by 7 is an A.P (arithmetic progression) with the first term being 103 and the last term being 999. The common difference of the sequence is 7.
Step 2: Compute the number of terms
In an A.P, the last term l = a + (n - 1) * d, where 'a' is the first term, 'n' is the number of terms of the series and 'd' is the common difference.
Therefore, 999 = 103 + (n - 1) * 7
Or 999 - 103 = (n - 1) * 7
Or 896 = (n - 1) * 7
So, n - 1 = 128 or n = 129
Choice E is the correct answer.
Answer: (E) 129

Question: John and Peter are among the nine players a basketball coach can choose from to field a five-player team. If all five players are chosen at random, what is the probability of choosing a team that includes John and Peter?
(A) 1/9
(B) 1/6
(C) 2/9
(D) 5/18
(E) 1/3
Rationale: Total possible ways of selecting a 5-member team:
a combination problem, not permutation since order does not matter:
9x8x7x6x5/(5x4x3x2x1) = 126.
The ways of selecting a 5-member team including John and Peter:
It is again a combination, not permutation. Since John and Peter are already included, you don't bother about them any more. The possible ways will be the combination of the rest of the 3 players from the rest of 7 player:
7x6x5/(3x2x1) = 35.
so the probability = 35/126 = 5/18.
Answer is D: 5/18.
Answer: (D) 5/18
Question: In the Land of Oz only one or two-letter words are used. The local language has 64 different letters. The parliament decided to forbid the use of the seventh letter. How many words have the people of Oz lost because of the prohibition?
(A) 65
(B) 66
(C) 67
(D) 131
(E) 128
Rationale: The answer to the question is indeed E. The problem with above solutions is that they do not consider words like AA, BB, ...
The number of 1 letter words (X) that can be made from 64 letters is 64;
The number of 2 letter words (XX) that can be made from 64 letters is 64*64, since each X can take 64 values.
Total: 64+64*64.
Similarly:
The number of 1 letter words (X) that can be made from 63 letters is 63;
The number of 2 letter words (XX) that can be made from 63 letters is 63*63, since each X can take 63 values.
Total: 63+63*63.
The difference is (64+64*64)-(63+63*63)=128.
Answer: E.

Question: Two trains A and B starting from two points and travelling in opposite directions, reach their destinations 9 hours and 4 hours respectively after meeting each other. If the train A travels at 70kmph, find the rate at which the train B runs.
(A) 40
(B) 60
(C) 120
(D) 105
(E) 100
Rationale: If two objects A and B start simultaneously from opposite points and, after meeting, reach their destinations in ‘a’ and ‘b’ hours respectively (i.e. A takes ‘a hrs’ to travel from the meeting point to his destination and B takes ‘b hrs’ to travel from the meeting point to his destination), then the ratio of their speeds is given by:
Sa/Sb = √(b/a)
i.e. Ratio of speeds is given by the square root of the inverse ratio of time taken.
Sa/Sb = √(4/9) = 2/3
This gives us that the ratio of the speed of A : speed of B as 2:3.
Since speed of A is 70 kmph, speed of B must be 70*(3/2) = 105 kmph
Answer D
Answer: (D) 105
Question: A monkey ascends a greased pole 6 meters high. He ascends 2 meters in the first minute and then slips down 1 meter in the alternate minute. If this pattern continues until he climbs the pole , in how many minutes would he reach at the top of the pole ?
(A) 9th minute
(B) 21st minute
(C) 11th minute
(D) 22nd minute
(E) 13th minute
Rationale: The money is climbing 1meter in 2min. This pattern will go on till he reaches 4 meters. I mean this will continue for first 4*2=8 mins. he would have reached 4meters. After that he will climb 2meters and he will reach the pole. So total time taken = 8 + 1 = 9mins.
So, asnwer will be A
Answer: (A) 9th minute
Question: A basket contains 5 apples, of which 1 is spoiled and the rest are good. If Henry is to select 2 apples from the basket simultaneously and at random, what is the probability T that the 2 apples selected will include the spoiled one?
(A) a. 1/5
(B) b. 3/10
(C) c. 2/5
(D) d. 1/2
(E) e. 3/5
Rationale: there can be two ways in which one can select a spoiled apple and a good apple.
1. you pick the spoiled one first and the good one later..
Prob of picking bad one = 1/5 (one bad apple)
Prob of picking a good one from the remaining 4 good apples (4/4 =1)
therefore the total prob for case 1 = i/5 * 1 = 1/5
Total prob T= porb1 + prob2 = 1/5+1/5 = 2/5.C
Answer: (C) c. 2/5

Question: Of the 300 math majors at a certain university, 30 percent will be assigned to advanced calculus on Monday and Wednesday and the remaining 70 percent will be assigned to advanced calculus on Tuesday and Thursday. However, 40 percent of the math majors prefer Tuesday and Thursday and 60 percent prefer Monday and Wednesday. What is the lowest possible number of math majors who will NOT be assigned to the days they prefer?
(A)  15
(B)  20
(C)  30
(D)  45
(E)  60
Rationale: 30% of students are assigned to Monday and Wednesday = 0.3*200 = 60
70% of students are assigned to Tuesday and Thursday = 0.7*200 = 140
60% of students prefer Monday and Wednesday = 0.6*200 = 120
40% of students prefer Tuesday and Thursday = 0.4*200 = 80
Since we need theleastnumber of students who will not be assigned to their preferred days, we shall fit in themaximumpossible students as per their preference:
All of the 40% of students who prefer Tuesday and Thursday can be accommodated to their preferred days, whereas only 60 out of 120 students who prefer Monday and Wednesday can be accommodated to their preferred days.
The remaining 30 students who prefer Monday and Wednesday will be allocated to Tuesday and Thursday by default, which is not their choice.
Answer is C.

Question: Which of the following integers can be written as both the sum of 5 consecutive odd integers and 7 consecutive odd integers?
(A) 49
(B) 70
(C) 140
(D) 215
(E) 525
Rationale: First of all notice that both the sum of 5 consecutive odd integers and the sum of 7 consecutive odd integers must be odd. Eliminate B, and C right away.
Next the sum of 5 consecutive odd integers can be written as: (x-4)+(x-2)+x+(x+2)+(x+4)=5x, so the sum must be odd multiple of 5;
Similarly, the sum of 7 consecutive odd integers can be written as: (y-6)+(y-4)+(y-2)+y+(y+2)+(y+4)+(y+6)=7y, so the sum must be odd multiple of 7;
So, the sum must be odd multiple of 5*7=35. Only option E this conditions.
Answer: E.
Answer: (E) 525
Question: A & B are two towns. A person covers the distance from A to B on cycle at 17kmph and returns to A by a boat running at a uniform speed of 8kmph. His average speed for the whole journey is
(A) 09.88kmph
(B) 12.88kmph
(C) 10.88kmph
(D) 16.45kmph
(E) 13.71kmph
Rationale: C
10.88kmph
When same distance is covered with different speeds, then the average speed = 2xy / x+y = 10.88kmph
Answer: (C) 10.88kmph
Question: The sector of a circle has radius of 21 cm and central angle 135o. Find its perimeter?
(A) 23.9 cm
(B) 62.9 cm
(C) 91.5 cm
(D) 26.8 cm
(E) 16.8 cm
Rationale: Perimeter of the sector = length of the arc + 2(radius)
= (135/360 * 2 * 22/7 * 21) + 2(21)
= 49.5 + 42
= 91.5 cm
Answer:C
Answer: (C) 91.5 cm
