96.The range of the male in a team is 14 inches, and the range of the
female in the team is 12 inches, what is the range of the team?
1) The shortest of the man is three inches more than the tallest woman.
2) The tallest man is 75 inches
From I, .. the sequnce is.. all the girls.. and then all the boys. Hence, the
range adds up, which is 28.
From II, No it is not possible.
Hence, A.
Answer: A
From I, it is not possible to determine the avg of all the three numbers. Z
is missin.
From II, same as I.
From I and II, not possible, since even the addition does not help.

98.The line k pass the two points (-4,-2) and (4,6) ,which line is
perpendicular to line k and intersect in the point (4,6)?
a, x-y-10=0
b, x+y-10=0
c, x+y-2=0
Firstly, if a line intersects at one of the point above, the point should
satisfy the eqn. Only B does that.
Also, the slope is -1 for the perpendicular line.
Answer: B
99.15% of all trees planted in the F and not flowered.40 percent of trees
planted in the F are flowered. What is the percent of trees planted in the
F?
a, 55% b,25%
Answer: B
all trees=t, In F tree=f,and then not flowered in F=0.15t,flowered in
F=0.4f ¨¤ 0.15t=0.06f, 0.06f:0.4f=0.15t:x, x=0.1, 0.1+0.15=0.25=25%
I think what it's trying to say is: out of all trees planted WHICH DID NOT
FLOWERED, trees in F which did not flower count as 15% OF THOSE; and
40% of F trees flowered, so what % is the number of trees planted in F
overall?
So 15% / 60% = 25%

The locations of four points in the number
line is shown above. If PR=OS, PR=5PQ, P

Answer: 17/36
pr = qs, rp = 5 * pq
Since ps = pr + rs = pq + qs, and pr = qs
=> rs = pq, let rs = pq = x, then since pr
= 5x, then ps = 5x + x = 6x = 1/2 - 1/3
= 1/6 => x = 1/36, thus r = s - 1/36 =
1/2 - 1/36 =17/36

This is geometric progression.
a= 1/2, r= 1/2 ,l = 1/512
Sum = (1/2 - 1/512)/(1/2) = 255*2/512 = 255/256 < 1.
hi, just wanted to clarify this formula. there might be a slight error?
solved for the q; Sum = 511/512 <1; even though the answer still remains
as B.
the numerator says.. a(1 - r^n)..= (a- a*r^n) which is not the same as (a-
l)
now, a*r^n is not the same as the last number in the sequence, since the
last sequence is a*r^n-1; that might be the reason for the difference in

170.Someone invested a certain amount of money at the 2.5 percent
annual interest rate. At the end of the fifth year, the total amount in the
account is $11250. How much did he invest?
The number maybe inaccurate, pay attention on the thinking
x*(1+2.5%)^5=11250
x+12.5%*x+10*2.5%^2x+...(can be neglected)=11250
Above all: x*(1+2.5%)^5 approximately equal to x+12.5%*x

YEAH it is confusing
SO pls explain
We drop Nancy right.... so we have to pick 3 ppl from 7. Are you with me
up to here..?
Now we select Bob, hence, we have to pick 2 more ppl from 6. Hence, 6C2

227.What is the average of 59 consecutive integers?
1) The sum of the largest number and the least number is 1
2) The sum of all is 1
From condition 1 can be true only for even number of cosecutive integers.
Consider -2 to 3 there are total six integers similary -28 to 29 are 60
integers not 58 integers not 59( Because there is a 0 inbetween) So we
cant get the answer from 1. because it is not possible.

259.{number} represents the least integer that is greater than the
number. If {x/2}= 0, which of the following is the positive value of x?
Choices are -2/3, -3. others are all positive.
I would pick -2/3 ,since it is greater than -3 and for -3 it would be -2.

88.Of a group of people donate for a organization, 1/4 donate less than

$1000. If the average value of the donation more than $200 is 360, what is
the average value of the donations more than $1000?
Joined: 02 December 2004 1) The average value of the donations less than $200 is 180
United States 2) The average value of the donations from $200 to $1000 is $540

From I alone, we cannot determine the avg, since, we do not have the avg
from 200$ to 1000$.
We have the information that , the avg of donations more than $200 is
360.
Answer: B
Spiderman,
I believe that the answer would be C. Cause in the formula that you give
you have two variables (A and x). Where you have "A" standing for the
average of the donations less than $200. If you plug in that value (which is
180) into your equation, then you can solve the total number of people
(which is "x").
However, when I did what was stated above, I get a fractional number for
the total number of people. I believe that either the problem has a number
or twop that is incorect, or if those were the intended numbers, the answer
is "E" (cause you can't have a fractional part of a person.
Can you please expand and solve your equation for #88, cause I really
can't see how the answer would be "B".
Thanks,
Gears46

11 & 5 have a set pattern when raised to a particular power... i mean for 5: for every odd power <=
3 the last 3 digits would be 125
for every even power < 2 the last 3 digits would be 625.
not sure if this would help but 76 & 25 are the only 2 digit numbers that when raised to any power
end with the same number.. ie...76^2 ,76^3,76^100 will have 76 as the last 2 digits. Same with 25
11 & 5 have a set pattern when raised to a particular power... i mean for 5: for every odd power >=
3 the last 3 digits would be 125
for every even power > 2 the last 3 digits would be 625.

any further combinations r duplicate sets.
5* 6 + 4 * 3 = 42.
there is no need to list like this every time just count the
combinations which have all different numbers,which have 2
same and remaining different.. correspondingly use
arrangements formula to get the answer.
