Q 
GMAT 10th Edition: PS : 64
Today Rose is twice as old as Sam and Sam is 3 years younger than TIna. If Rose, Sam and Tina are all alive 4 years from today. which of the following must be true. 
1. Rose is twice as old as Sam
2. Sam is 3 years younger than Tina
3. Rose is older than Tina
A) 1 only
B) 2 only
C) 3 only
D) 1 and 2 only
E) 2 and 3 only
A

Answer: B

R=2S. put in numbers say S = 10 then R = 20. After 4 years R = 24 and S = 14. Therefore R = 12 / 7 of S. Hence statement 1 is not true.

Similarly for statement 2:
S = T-3. If S = 10 then T = 7
After 4 years S = 14 whereas T = 11. Difference is still 3 years. Hence Statement 2 is true.

For Statement 3: R = 2(T-3). Hence it cannot be ascertained if R is greater or less than T

For any positive integer n, n>1, the length of n is the number of positive primes (not necessary distinct) whoe product is n. For example the length of 50 is 3 since 50 = (2)(5)(5)

which of the following integers has length 3?

a) 3
b) 15
c) 60
d) 64
e) 105

A

Answer: E

3 = (3) only hence length is 1
15 = (3)*(5) hence length is 2
60 = (2) (2) (3) (5) hence length is 4
64= (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) hence length is 6
105 = (5) (3) (7) hence length is 3

Q 
GMAT: 10th Edition: PS 113
Two Oil cans X and Y are right cylinders and the height and the radius of Y are each twice those of X. If the oil in can X which is filled to capctiy sells for USD 2 then at the same rate how much does the oil in can y sell for if y is filled to only half its capacity?
a) USD 1
b) USD 2
c) USD 3
d) USD 4
e) USD 8
A

Answer: E

The formula for calculating volume of a cylinder is Base X height.

where base is pir^2.
Hence volume of cylinder is pir^2*h where r is the radius and h is the height.

since radius of Y cylinder is twice that of X then Ry=2r and Hy = 2h
put this in the equation for calcualting volume of the cylinder Y is we get
8pir^2*h.

But pir^2h is the area of X. Hence volume of Y = 8* volume of X.

Since X volume sells for USD 2 then total volume of Y sells for 16.

But it is only half full then it must sell for 16/2 = 8

a) 6
b) 16
c) 22
d) 30

9 + (1/12)x =??

now lets assume that x = 36 (i.e the class has only boys)
9 +36/12 = 12. So the maximum value can be 12 that walked. but there are some girls in the class so

x can be maximum 24
that is 9+24/12 = 11. Hence the answer is 11

If 1/2 of the air in a tank is removed with each stroke of a vacuum pump, what fraction of the original amount of air has been removed after 4 strokes

a) 15/16
b) 7/8
c) 1/4
d) 1/8
e) 1/16

A

Answer

in first stroke 1/2 of air is removed
In 2nd stroke 1/4 of air is removed
in 3rd stroke 1/8 of air is removed
in 4th stroke 1/16 of air is removed

Hence total air removed is 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 is removed.

Hence total air removed is

GMAT 10th edition PS 434

A certain musical scale has 13 notes each having a different frequency measured in cycles per second. In the scale the notes are ordered by increasing frequency and the highest frequency is twice the lowest. For each of the 12 lower frequencies the ratio of a frequency to the next higher frequency is a fixed constant. if the lowest frequency is 440 cycles per second. then the frequency of the 7th note in the scale is how many cycles per second. 
A) 440 root 2
b) 440 root (2^7)
C) 440 root (2^12)
D) 440 12 root (2^7)
E) 440 7 root (2^12)
A

Answer : A

1st frequency = 440
2nd frequency = 440X
3rd frequency = 440X^2
so... 7th frequency = 440 X^6
13th frequency = 440X^12

Hence the 13th frequency = 440X^12 = 880
X^12 = 2
(X^6)^2 = 2
X^6 = root 2

putting that in 7th frequency equation

440X^6 = 440*root 2

Hence A is the answer.

GMAT 10th Edition PS 436

Equal amounts of water were poured into two empty jars of different capacities which made one jar 1/4 full and the other jar 1/3 full. If the water in the jar with the lesser capacity is then poured into the jar with the greater capacity. What fractiosn of the larger jar will be filled with water

A) 1/7
B) 2/7
C) 1/2
D) 7/12
E) 2/3
A

Answer: C

since the larger capacity jar is the one which was filled the least. therefore first jar was filled only 25% (ie 1/4 = 25%) whereas the other jar was filled 33% (I.e 1/3 = 33%)

hence the lager jar will be filled twice
i.e 2 * 1/4 = 1/2 hence C is the answer

which of the follosing is less than 1/6

  1. 0.1667
  2. 3/18
  3. 0.167
  4. 0.1666.
  5. 8/47
A

Answer : 0.1666

1/6 = 0.1666666. Hence 1, and 3 are already out

2 is out because 3/18 = 1/6

  1. is out cause 8*6 = 48. since the denominator is less than 47 hence the answer would be greater than 1/6.

the only answer is 4 which is less than 0.16667

  4. 1/4, 3/10, 9/26
  5. 3/10, 9/26, 1/4
A

we know that 1/4 = 0.25 and 3/10 = 0.30

now calculate 9/26 = 0.34
hence the correct order is 0.25, 030 and 034
i.e 1/4, 1/3, 9/26

Hence 4 is the answer

How to know if a number is divisible by 3

How to know if a number is divisible by 4

How to know if a number is divisible by 5

How to know if a number is divisible by 6

How to know if a number is divisible by 7

How to know if a number is divisible by 8

How to know if a number is divisible by 9

A

if the sum of all numbers is divisible by 3 then the number is divisible by 3

If any number ends in a two digit number that you know is divisible by 4 (e.g. 24, 04, 08, etc.), then the whole number will be divisible by 4 regardless of what is before the last two digits.

A number is divisible by 5 if the its last digit is a 0 or 5

So for a number to be divisible by 6, it must also be divisible by 2 and 3. Therefore, we need to check if a number is even and then check if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.

Take the last digit of the number you’re testing and double it. Subtract this number from the rest of the digits in the original number. If this new number is either 0 or if it’s a number that’s divisible by 7, then you know that the original number is also divisible by 7.

Numbers are divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last three individual digits is evenly divisible by 8. For example, the last three digits of the number 3624 is 624, which is evenly divisible by 8 so 3624 is evenly divisible by 8.

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits are evenly divisible 9.

Q

A laboratory has 55 rabbits some white and the rest brown. Which of the following could be the ratio of white rabbits to brown rabbits in the lab.

  1. 1:3
  2. 3:8
  3. 5:11
  4. 3:4
  5. 5:1
A

there are 55 rabbit so the factors are 5 and 11. hence the total sum of the parts must be able to divide 55

for 1. 3+1 = 4 does not divide 55
for 2. 3+ 8 = 11 . divides and is therefore the correct ans
for 3. 5 + 11 = 16 does not divide 55
for 4. 4 = 3 = 7 does not divide 55
for 5. 5 + 1 = 6 does not divide 55

hence the answer is 2.

68
Q

a. 30
b. 300
c. 540
d. 570
e. 600

A

(1/20) * X = 30 then
X = 30 *20 = 600

but this is the total number of prizes won hence you neeed to substract 30 from it.

X = 570
Hence C is the correct answer.

69
Q

a. 15
b. 20
c. 25
d. 30
e. 75

A

hence the total mixture is 3+5+7 = 15 therefore cement / total mixture = 3/15 = 5/X

therefore solve for x we get X = 25

Hence C is the answer

71
Q

Bob finished the first half of an exam in two thirds the time it takes him to finish the second half. If the whole exam takes him an hour how many minutes does he spend on the first half of the exam

a. 20
b. 24
c. 27
d. 36
e. 40

A

Let the time it takes him to finish the second half be S then total time is
2S/3 + S = 5S/3

it takes him 60 minutes to finish then

5S/3 = 60
S = 36

But the time it takes to complete the 1st half is 2S/3 = 2 *36/3 = 24

Hence the answer is B

72
Q

In a certain factory with 2,700 workers one-third of the workers are unskilled. If 600 of the unskilled workers are apprentices, what fraction of the unskilled workers are not appretices.

a. 1/9
b. 1/7
c. 1/5
d. 1/3
e. 1/2

A

1/3 of the workers are unskilled (i.e 1/3 of 2700 = 900)

if 600 of the unskilled workers are apprentices then 300 are not apprentices

300/900 = 1/3

Hence the answer is 1/3

73
Q

A sporting goods store ordered an equal number of white and yellow tennis balls. The tennis ball company delivered 30 extra white balls making the ratio of white balls to yellow balls 6:5. How many tennis balls did the store originally ordered.

a. 120
b. 150
c. 180
d. 300
e. 330

A

If x is the total number of white balls then the store called for 2x of the total balls.

since there were 30 more white balls delivered therefore

x/(x+30) = 5/6 ( note that x + 30 will be the larger one)

solving for x we get x = 150

but the store called for 2x then the total ones are 300

hence D is the correct answer

74
Q

Two hundred percent more than 30 is

a. 36
b. 60
c. 90

If rectangle with integer side lengths has perimeter 10. What is the greatest number of these rectangles that can be cut from a piece of paper with width 24 and length 0

a) 144
b) 180
c) 240
d) 360
e) 480

A

The answer is D (i.e 360)

since the perimeter is 2l + 2w = 10 then L + w = 5

the smallest area rectangle would be when L = 4 and w = 1
then the area of the rectangle is 4*1 = 4

area of the paper is 24*60 = 1440

divide this by 4 we get 360
hence 360 small rectangles can be formed.

Q

rules for angles formed by cords

A
  1. All angles extended by the same chord on to the circumfrance are equal
  2. angles extended by a chord on the center of a circle is twice of the angle extended at the circumfrance
  3. angles extended by the same chord on the opposite sides of the circumference are supplementary
  4. Angles extended by the diameter on to Any point on the circumference are equal to 90

Q

A light house emits a light which can be seen for 60 miles in all directions. If the intensity of the light is strengthened so that its visibility is increased by 40 miles in all directions by approx. how mnay square miles is its region of visibility increased

a) 6300
b) 10000
c) 10300
d) 20000
e) 31400

A

the answer is D (i.e 20000)

the new area is pi (100)^2 = 10,000 Pi squred
the old area is pi (60)^2 = 3600 pi squred

then the difference is 6400 pi squared

but pi is 3.14 therefore we get the the closest number is 20000

hence d is the answer

Q

Points P and Q lie on the same line and have coordinates (1,3) and (5,8) respectively, which of the following points lie on the same line as point P and Q?

a) (-4,-5)
b) (-3,-2)
c) -2,-3)
d) (-1,-4)
e) (0,-1)

A

C is the correct answer.

Calculate the slope of the line

slope = change in y / change in x
slope = (8-1)/(5-3) = 5/4

now check slope of each point

a) Slope = (8+4)/(5+5) = 12/10 = 6/5
b) Slope = (8+3)/(5+2) = 11/7
c) slope = (8+2)/(5+3) = 10/8= 5/4

Hence C is the correct answer

Q

Two questions

a) A new country needs to create a flag and has decided upon a three stipe design. Ig has five colors to choose from : blue, green, yellow, white and red and no color can be used more than once. How many different flags can be created.
b) you have four friends in town but only two extra tickets for the concert. How many ways can the tickets can be distributed if you want to keep atleast two friends
c) what is the difference between the two questions and why are two separate formulas used

A

a) order matters hence we use permutations : perfumtation formula is 5P3 = 5! / (5-3)! = 54321/(21) = 60
b) Since order does not matter hence combinations formula needs to be used. 4!C2! = 4!/((4-2)!(2!)) = 4321/(21)(21) = 6
