Question: C individuals pledged to pay equal contributions so that a charity’s goal of $F could be reached. If d of the contributors failed to pay their share, which of the following represents the additional number of dollars that each of the remaining individuals would have to pay in order to allow the charity to reach its goal?
(A) df
(B) dF/C(C - d)
(C) dFC
(D) C-d
(E) nc-d
Rationale: Number of individuals = C
Amount paid by each individual = n
Total expected amount = Charity's goal = nC = F
n = F/C
Number of individuals who fail to pay = d
Contribution from individuals who would fail to pay = dF/C --> Additional amount
Number of individuals who are paying = C - d
Additional amount has to be divided among the (C - d) individuals --> dF/C(C - d)
B
Answer: (B) dF/C(C - d)

Question: A cyclist bikes x distance at 10 miles per hour and returns over the same path at 9 miles per hour. What is the cyclist's average rate for the round trip in miles per hour?
(A) 8.1
(B) 8.3
(C) 8.6
(D) 8.9
(E) 9.5
Rationale: Distance = d1 = x miles
Speed = s1 = 10 miles per hour
Time = t1 = Distance/ Speed = x/10
2. Going from B to A
Distance = d2 = x miles
Speed = s2 = 9 miles per hour
Time = t2 = Distance/ Speed = x/9
3. Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time
Total Distance = x + x = 2x
Total Time = x/10 + x/9 = x (1/10 + 1/9) = x ( 4 + 5)/40 = 19x/90
Speed = 2x/(19x/90) = (2x * 90)/9x =180x/19x = 180/19 = 9.5
Answer : E
Answer: (E) 9.5
Question: The average age of students of a class is 15.8 years. The average age of boys in the class is 16.7 years and that of the girls is 15.4 years. The ration of the number of boys to the number of girls in the class is:
(A) 2:5
(B) 2:3
(C) 2:4
(D) 2:1
(E) 4:9
Rationale: Let the ratio be k : 1. Then,

(A) 3
(B) 4
(C) 9/5
(D) 9/8
(E) 12
Rationale: yes there is a typo in the question, I got the same ques on my GMAT PREP last week, and the questions goes as:
A company has two types of machines,type R and type S.Operating at a constant rate a machine of R does a certain job in 36 hours and a machine of type S does the job in 4 hours .If the company used the same number of each type of machine to do job in2 hours,how many machine R were used?
So for a job to be done in 2 hours R = 1/2
R_a(Rate of Machine R) = 1/36
R_s(Rate of Machine S) = 1/4
Lets say x machines are used to attain the desired rate, thus
x/36+x/4 = 1/2 (Desired R =1/2 i.e. to complete the job in 2 hours)
(x+9x)/36 = 1/2
10x/36 = 1/2
x = 9/5.

Question: Call a number Guardian if it is composite but not divisible by 2, 3, or 5. The three smallest guardian numbers are 49, 77, and 91. There are 168 prime numbers less than 1000. How many Guardian numbers are there less than 1000?
(A) 100
(B) 102
(C) 104
(D) 106
(E) 108
Rationale: S1 = total number of numbers divisible by 2 from 1-1000 = 500
S2 = total number of numbers divisible by 3 from 1-1000 = 333
S3 = total number of numbers divisible by 5 from 1-1000 = 200
S4 = total number of numbers divisible by 2 and 3 = 166
S5 = total number of numbers divisible by 2 and 5 = 100
S6= total number of numbers divisible by 3 and 5 =66
S7 = total number of numbers divisible by 2,3 and 5 = 33
thus total number of numbers divisible by 2,3 or 5 are = 500 +333+200-166-100-66+33 = 734
now since we have already included 2,3 and 5 while calculating their multiple in the above calculations, hence total number of prime numbers from 1-1000 becomes = 168-3 =165
also, since 1 is neither composite nor prime, hence we will subtract 1 from the final answer.
thus total number of guardian numbers are 1000-734-1-165 = 100

Question: 50 is divided into two parts such that the sum of their reciprocals is 1/12. Find the two parts.
(A) 40,10
(B) 22,28
(C) 25,25
(D) 35,15
(E) 30,20
Rationale: Let the two parts be x and (50 - x).
Then, 1 / x + 1 / (50 – x) = 1 / 12 => (50 – x + x) / x ( 50 – x) = 1/12
=> x^2 – 50x + 600 = 0 => (x – 30)( x – 20)=0 => x = 30 or x = 20.
So, the parts are 30 and 20.
Answer E)30,20.
Answer: (E) 30,20
Question: Angelo and Isabella are both salespersons. In any given week, Angelo makes $550 in base salary plus 8 percent of the portion of his sales above $4,000 for that week. Isabella makes 10 percent of her total sales for any given week. For what amount of weekly sales would Angelo and Isabella earn the same amount of money?
(A)  11,500
(B)  24,500
(C)  25,500
(D)  26,500
(E)  27,500
Rationale: OFFICIAL SOLUTION:
The problem asks for the amount of weekly sales it takes for Angelo and Isabella to earn the same amount of money. You can write an equation that sets Angelo’s and Isabella’s weekly earnings equal to each other, with x representing weekly sales. Weekly earnings for each salesperson equal base salary plus commission. So Angelo’s earnings are 550 + (0.08)(x – 4,000), and Isabella’s are 0.10x. Set up the equation and solve:
550 + (0.08)(x – 4,000) = 0.10x
Distribute the 0.08:
550 + 0.08x – 320 = 0.10x
Combine terms and subtract 0.08x from both sides:
230 = 0.02x
Divide both sides by 0.02:
11,500 = x
Your answer is A.
Answer: (A)  11,500

Question: What is the value of(a,y) in (13^-20-a*13^y)=168*13^-22?
(A) (1,2)
(B) (0,1)
(C) (-1,22)
(D) (1,-22)
(E) (1,-20)
Rationale: (13^-20-a*13^y)=168*13^-22
Divide the LHS and RHS by 13^-22
13^2-a*13^(y+22) =168
168 can be expressed as 13^2 - 1
13^2-a*13^(y+22) =13^2 - 1
a*13^(y+22) =1
Now look at options and substitute .. Its easy for y=-22 . 13^0=1 a also = 1
ANSWER:D
Answer: (D) (1,-22)
