Correct Answer
E.Explanation
The probability of selecting 2 balls with the same color can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (selecting 2 balls of the same color) by the total number of possible outcomes. Since there are 6 pairs of balls in different colors, there are 6 different colors to choose from. The first ball can be any of the 12, and the second ball must be of the same color as the first. Therefore, there are 12 possible choices for the first ball and only 1 choice for the second ball. The total number of possible outcomes is 12 * 11. Thus, the probability is 1/66.Rate this question:

A glass was filled with 10 ounces of water, and 0.01 ounce of the water evaporated each day during a twenty-day period. What percent of the original amount of water evaporated during this period?
- A.
0.002%
- B.
0.02%
- C.
0.2%
- D.
2%
- E.
20%
Correct Answer
D. 2%Explanation
During the twenty-day period, 0.01 ounce of water evaporated each day. To find the total amount of water evaporated, we multiply 0.01 ounce by 20 days, which equals 0.2 ounces. To find the percentage, we divide the amount evaporated (0.2 ounces) by the original amount of water (10 ounces) and multiply by 100. This gives us a percentage of 2%.Rate this question:

- C.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.Explanation
To determine if y is greater than 0, we need to analyze both statements together.
From statement (1), we have 7x - 2y > 0. This means that 7x > 2y. However, we do not have any information about the relation between x and y, so we cannot determine if y is greater than 0 based on this statement alone.
From statement (2), we have -y < x. This means that y > -x. Again, we do not have enough information to determine if y is greater than 0 based on this statement alone.
Since neither statement alone provides enough information, and we need both statements together to determine if y is greater than 0, the correct answer is that statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.Rate this question:

- C.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.Explanation
The correct answer is EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statement (1) provides the information that the total amount the salesman was paid last week is equal to 10 percent of the amount of these sales last week. This allows us to calculate the total amount the salesman was paid last week based on the sales amount.
Statement (2) provides the information that the salesman's sales last week total $5,000. This gives us the sales amount needed to calculate the total amount the salesman was paid last week.
Therefore, each statement alone provides enough information to calculate the total amount the salesman was paid last week.Rate this question:

- C.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.Explanation
From statement (1), we know that the integer -3 is in S. Since S is a set of ten consecutive integers, we can determine that the lowest integer in S is -3 and the highest integer in S is 6. However, we still don't have enough information to determine if the integer 5 is in S.
From statement (2), we know that the integer 4 is in S. This gives us some information about the range of S, but it still doesn't tell us if the integer 5 is in S.
By combining both statements, we know that the lowest integer in S is -3 and the highest integer in S is 6, and that the integer 4 is in S. However, we still don't have enough information to determine if the integer 5 is in S. Therefore, both statements together are not sufficient to answer the question.Rate this question:

- C.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D.

- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.Explanation
The question asks whether xy > x^2y^2.
Statement (1) tells us that 14x^2 = 3. However, this does not provide any information about the value of y, so we cannot determine the relationship between xy and x^2y^2 based on this statement alone.
Statement (2) tells us that y^2 = 1. This means that y could be either 1 or -1. Again, we do not have enough information to determine the relationship between xy and x^2y^2 based on this statement alone.
When we consider both statements together, we still cannot determine the relationship between xy and x^2y^2. Even though we know the value of x^2y^2 from statement (1) and the value of y from statement (2), we do not have enough information to determine the relationship between xy and x^2y^2.
Therefore, the answer is that statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient to answer the question.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.Explanation
From statement (1), we know that (x + y)^2 > 6. However, we cannot determine if x^2 + y^2 > 6 or x^2 + y^2 < 6. Therefore, statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement (2), we know that xy = 2. However, we cannot determine the values of x and y individually or their sum. Therefore, statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
By combining both statements, we still cannot determine if x^2 + y^2 > 6 or x^2 + y^2 < 6. Therefore, statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient to answer the question.Rate this question:

- C.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D.

- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.Explanation
From statement (1), we know that v < 0. However, this does not provide any information about the value of x. Therefore, we cannot determine if svx < 0 based on this statement alone.
From statement (2), we know that x > 0. However, this does not provide any information about the value of v. Therefore, we cannot determine if svx < 0 based on this statement alone.
Since neither statement alone provides enough information to determine if svx < 0, we need to consider both statements together. However, even when considering both statements together, we still do not have enough information to determine if svx < 0. Therefore, the answer is that statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.Rate this question:

- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.Explanation
Statement (1) alone is sufficient to determine the median weight of the boxes. Since the heaviest box on shelf J weighs 15 pounds and each of the 45 boxes on shelf J weighs less than each of the 44 boxes on shelf K, it can be concluded that the median weight of the boxes on shelf J is less than 15 pounds.
Statement (2) alone does not provide any information about the weights of the boxes on shelf J or the relationship between the weights of the boxes on shelf J and shelf K. Therefore, it is not sufficient to determine the median weight of the boxes.
Hence, statement (1) alone is sufficient to determine the median weight of the 89 boxes on these shelves.Rate this question:

BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.Explanation
Statement (1) alone is sufficient to find the perimeter of the rectangle. If the length of each diagonal is 10, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the relationship between the length and width of the rectangle. Since the length is 2 greater than the width, we can set up the equation x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 10^2, where x is the width. Solving this equation will give us the width, and we can then calculate the perimeter using the formula P = 2(length + width). Therefore, statement (1) alone is sufficient to find the perimeter.Rate this question:

- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.Explanation
Statement (1) alone tells us that n is divisible by 8. However, this does not guarantee that n is even. For example, n could be 16, which is even, or it could be 24, which is not even. Therefore, statement (1) alone is not sufficient to determine if n is an even integer.
Statement (2) alone tells us that k is divisible by 4. This does not provide any information about n, so it is not sufficient to determine if n is an even integer.
When we consider both statements together, we still do not have enough information to determine if n is an even integer. The statements provide information about n and k separately, but do not provide any relationship between them. Therefore, statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient to determine if n is an even integer.Rate this question:

- D.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.Explanation
Statement (1) alone is sufficient to determine the percent of those surveyed who said they had received neither student loans nor scholarships. It states that 25 percent of those surveyed said they had received scholarships but no loans. Since 30 percent said they had received student loans and 40 percent said they had received scholarships, we can subtract these percentages from 100 to find the percentage of those who received neither. Therefore, the percent of those surveyed who said they received neither student loans nor scholarships is 100 - 30 - 40 - 25 = 5 percent.
Similarly, statement (2) alone is also sufficient to determine the percent of those surveyed who said they had received neither student loans nor scholarships. It states that 50 percent of those surveyed who said they had received loans also said they had received scholarships. Since 30 percent said they had received student loans, we can subtract this percentage from 100 to find the percentage of those who received neither. Therefore, the percent of those surveyed who said they received neither student loans nor scholarships is 100 - 30 = 70 percent.
Hence, each statement alone is sufficient to determine the percent of those surveyed who said they had received neither student loans nor scholarships.Rate this question:

- B.
40%
- C.
30%
- D.
33.33%
- E.
10%
Correct Answer
A. 80%Explanation
Since 60% of the hotel's rooms are luxury rooms, it means that 40% of the rooms are not luxury rooms.
If 75% of the hotel's rooms were rented, it means that 25% of the rooms were not rented.
Out of those 25% of rooms that were not rented, 40% of them are luxury rooms.
Therefore, the percentage of the rooms that were not rented and are luxury rooms is 40% of 25%, which is equal to 10%.
However, the question is asking for the percentage of the rooms that were not rented and are luxury rooms, so we need to find the complement of 10%, which is 100% - 10% = 90%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 90%.Rate this question:

12
- D.

Correct Answer
D. 13Explanation
The system of equations is 2x + y = 12 and x + y ≤ 12. To find the number of ordered pairs (x, y) that are solutions to this system where both x and y are integers, we can analyze the possible values of x and y. Since x and y are integers, we can start by finding the range of values for x and y that satisfy the given conditions. From the equation 2x + y = 12, we know that y must be an even number for 2x + y to equal 12. Therefore, the possible values for y are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. For each value of y, we can solve the equation 2x + y = 12 to find the corresponding value of x. By doing this, we find that there are 13 ordered pairs (x, y) that are solutions to the system where both x and y are integers.Rate this question:

Mary walked from home to work in the morning at an average speed of 3 miles per hour. She returned in the evening taking the same route running an average speed of 6 miles per hour. What was her average speed, in miles per hour, for the whole journey to and from work?
- A.

- B.
4
- C.
4.5
- D.
5
- E.
5.5
Correct Answer
B. 4Explanation
Mary's average speed for the whole journey can be calculated by taking the total distance traveled and dividing it by the total time taken. Since Mary traveled the same route both ways, the total distance is the same for the morning and evening trips. Let's assume the distance is D miles.
In the morning, Mary traveled at a speed of 3 miles per hour, so the time taken for the morning trip is D/3 hours.
In the evening, Mary traveled at a speed of 6 miles per hour, so the time taken for the evening trip is D/6 hours.
The total time taken for the whole journey is D/3 + D/6 = (2D + D)/6 = 3D/6 = D/2 hours.
Therefore, the average speed for the whole journey is D miles / (D/2 hours) = 2 miles per hour.
Hence, the correct answer is 2, which is not listed as an option.Rate this question:

- B.
65
- C.
70
- D.
75
- E.
80
Correct Answer
D. 75Explanation
To find the average speed for the entire trip, we can use the formula: average speed = total distance / total time. We know that the total distance is 40 miles and the total average speed is 60 miles per hour. Let's assume that Pierre drives at an average speed of x miles per hour for the remaining 20 miles. We can set up the equation: 60 = 40 / (20/50 + 20/x). Simplifying this equation, we get: 60 = 40 / (2/5 + 20/x). Cross-multiplying, we get: 60 * (2/5 + 20/x) = 40. Simplifying further, we get: 2/5 + 20/x = 2/3. Solving for x, we find that x = 75. Therefore, Pierre must drive at an average speed of 75 miles per hour for the remaining 20 miles in order for his total average speed to be 60 miles per hour.Rate this question:

On Saturday morning, Malachi will begin a camping vacation and he will return home at the end of the first day on which it rains. If on the first three days of the vacation the probability of rain on each day is 0.2, what is the probability that Malachi will return home at the end of the day on the following Monday?
- A.
0.008
- B.
0.128
- C.
0.488
- D.
0.512
- E.
0.640
Correct Answer
B. 0.128Explanation
The probability of Malachi returning home at the end of the first day it rains is 0.2. Since it is given that Malachi will return home at the end of the first day it rains, the probability of it raining on the first day is 0.2. Therefore, the probability of it not raining on the first day is 1 - 0.2 = 0.8. Since it is not specified when the camping vacation starts, we assume it starts on Saturday. Therefore, the probability of it not raining on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday is (0.8)^3 = 0.512. Therefore, the probability of Malachi returning home at the end of the day on Monday is 0.512 * 0.2 = 0.1024, which is approximately 0.128.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B.Explanation
To find the probability of selecting an English teacher and a Mathematics teacher, we need to calculate the probability of selecting one English teacher and one Mathematics teacher, and then multiply these probabilities together.
The probability of selecting an English teacher as the first member is 3/9, since there are 3 English teachers out of a total of 9 committee members.
After selecting an English teacher, there are now 8 committee members left, including 4 Mathematics teachers. So the probability of selecting a Mathematics teacher as the second member is 4/8.
Multiplying these probabilities together, we get (3/9) * (4/8) = 12/72 = 1/6.
Therefore, the probability that the two members selected will be an English teacher and a Mathematics teacher is 1/6.Rate this question:

- A.
3 hours
- B.
3 hours 20 minutes
- C.
3 hours 36 minutes
- D.
4 hours 20 minutes
- E.
4 hours 30 minutes
Correct Answer
C. 3 hours 36 minutesExplanation
Pipe A fills the pool in 3 hours, which means it fills 1/3 of the pool's capacity per hour. Pipe B fills the pool in 6 hours, which means it fills 1/6 of the pool's capacity per hour. When both pipes are filling the pool simultaneously, their combined rate is 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2 of the pool's capacity per hour. Therefore, it will take 2 hours for the pool to be filled to half of its capacity. Since the question asks for the pool to be filled to full capacity, it will take twice as long, which is 2 x 2 = 4 hours. Additionally, 1/2 hour is equal to 30 minutes, so the total time is 4 hours + 30 minutes = 4 hours 30 minutes.Rate this question:

Pat invested x dollars in a fund that paid 8 percent annual interest, compounded annually. Which of the following represents the value, in dollars, of Pat’s investment plus interest at the end of 5 years?
- A.
5(0.08x
- B.
5(1.08x)
- C.
[1 + 5(0.08)]x
- D.
(1.08)5x
- E.
(1.08x)5
Correct Answer
D. (1.08)5xExplanation
The given expression, (1.08)5x, represents the value of Pat's investment plus interest at the end of 5 years. The expression is derived from the formula for compound interest, which is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount (initial investment), r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years. In this case, the principal amount is x, the annual interest rate is 8% (or 0.08), and the interest is compounded annually (n = 1). Therefore, the correct answer is (1.08)5x.Rate this question:

- B.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
- C.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
- D.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.Explanation
From statement (1), we know that the remainder when n is divided by 2 is 1. This means that n is an odd number. However, we don't have any information about the remainder when n is divided by 3 from this statement.
From statement (2), we know that the remainder when n + 1 is divided by 3 is 2. This means that (n + 1) is 2 more than a multiple of 3. Simplifying this, we get n is 1 less than a multiple of 3. In other words, n is 2 more than a multiple of 3. This means that the remainder when n is divided by 3 is 2.
Therefore, statement (2) alone is sufficient to determine the remainder when n is divided by 3, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.Rate this question:

- D.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
- E.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Correct Answer
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.Explanation
The given question asks whether the sum of three positive integers, r + s + t, is even.
Statement (1) tells us that r + s is even. However, this does not provide any information about the parity of t. It is possible that t is odd, which would make the sum r + s + t odd. Therefore, statement (1) alone is not sufficient to determine whether r + s + t is even.
Statement (2) tells us that s + t is even. However, this does not provide any information about the parity of r. It is possible that r is odd, which would make the sum r + s + t odd. Therefore, statement (2) alone is not sufficient to determine whether r + s + t is even.
When we consider both statements together, we still do not have enough information to determine the parity of r + s + t. It is possible that r is odd and t is even, or vice versa, which would make the sum r + s + t odd. Therefore, statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient to determine whether r + s + t is even.
Hence, the correct answer is that statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.Rate this question:

Of the families in City X in 1994, 40 percent owned a personal computer. The number of families in City X owning a computer in 1998 was 30 percent greater than it was in 1994, and the total number of families in City X was 4 percent greater in 1998 than it was in 1994. What percent of the families in City X owned a personal computer in 1998?
- A.
50%
- B.
52%
- C.
56%
- D.
70%
- E.
74%
Correct Answer
A. 50%Explanation
In 1994, 40% of the families in City X owned a personal computer. In 1998, the number of families owning a computer increased by 30% compared to 1994. Additionally, the total number of families in City X increased by 4% in 1998 compared to 1994. Therefore, the percentage of families owning a personal computer in 1998 can be calculated by adding the 30% increase to the initial 40% ownership rate. This gives us a total of 70% ownership. However, since the total number of families also increased by 4%, the percentage of families owning a personal computer in 1998 will be slightly less than 70%. The closest option is 50%, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.Explanation
From statement (1), we know that 10 â–¼ 5 = 2. However, we don't know the specific operation represented by â–¼. Therefore, we cannot determine the value of 6 â–¼ 2 based on statement (1) alone.
From statement (2), we know that 4 â–¼ 2 = 2. Again, we don't know the specific operation represented by â–¼. Therefore, we cannot determine the value of 6 â–¼ 2 based on statement (2) alone.
When we consider both statements together, we still don't have enough information to determine the specific operation represented by â–¼. Therefore, the value of 6 â–¼ 2 cannot be determined.

Correct Answer
C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.Explanation
The slope of line l can be determined by using both statements together. Statement (1) tells us that the product of the slopes of line l and line k is -1. This means that the slopes of the two lines are negative reciprocals of each other. Statement (2) tells us that line k passes through the origin. Since line k passes through the origin, its y-intercept is 0, which means its slope is also 0. Therefore, the slope of line l can be determined by finding the negative reciprocal of 0, which is undefined. Thus, both statements together are sufficient to determine the slope of line l.Rate this question:

The given sequence follows a pattern where each term is equal to the term four places before it. By examining the first few terms of the sequence, we can see that it repeats every four terms: 2, -3, 5, -1, 2, -3, 5, -1, ... Therefore, we can group the terms into sets of four: (2, -3, 5, -1), (2, -3, 5, -1), ... The sum of each set of four terms is 3, so we can calculate the number of sets in 97 terms by dividing 97 by 4, which gives us 24 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, the sum of the first 97 terms is 24 * 3 + 2 = 74.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.Explanation
Statement (1) gives the absolute value of (x + 3) as 14. This means that (x + 3) can either be 14 or -14. Therefore, x can be either 11 or -17. However, this does not give us the value of │x + 7│ directly.
Statement (2) gives us (x + 2)² = 169. Taking the square root of both sides, we get x + 2 = ±13. This means that x can be either 11 or -15. However, this also does not give us the value of │x + 7│ directly.
By combining both statements, we can narrow down the possible values of x to 11. Therefore, we can determine that the value of │x + 7│ is 18.Rate this question:

To find the student's score on the 5th test, we can use the formula for average: (sum of all scores) / (number of tests). The sum of the scores on the first 4 tests is 78 * 4 = 312. To have an average score of 80 on 5 tests, the sum of all 5 scores must be 80 * 5 = 400. Therefore, the student's score on the 5th test must be 400 - 312 = 88.Rate this question:

D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.Explanation
Statement (1) alone is sufficient to determine the number of adult tickets sold. We can calculate the number of adult tickets by dividing the total revenue from ticket sales ($10,500) by the price per adult ticket ($25). This will give us the total number of tickets sold, and we can subtract the number of child tickets (which we don't know) from this total to find the number of adult tickets.

If S and T can complete the job together in 5 hours, their combined rate is 1/5 of the job per hour. Subtracting the combined rate of S and T from the combined rate of R, S, and T gives the rate of R alone, which is 1/4 - 1/5 = 1/20 of the job per hour. Therefore, it would take R 20 hours to complete the job alone.Rate this question:
