1. There is a pole in a lake. One-half of the pole is in the ground, another one-third of it is covered by water, and 12 ft is out of the water. What is the total length of the pole in ft?

A 12 ft

B 34 ft

C 56 ft

D 64 ft

E 72 ft

The correct answer is option [E]

Solution:

Fraction of pole in the ground = 1/2 Fraction of pole

covered by water = 1/3

Fraction of pole in the ground and covered by water =

1/2+ 1/3 = (3 + 2)/6 = 5/6

Fraction of pole out of water = 1 – 5/6 = 1/6 Thus, one sixth

of the pole (out of water) is 12 ft. So, total length

of pole = 72 ft.

It may be noted that:

Length of pole in the ground = 72/2 = 36 ft. Length of

pole covered by water = 72/3 = 24 ft. Length of pole

out of water = 12 ft.

Total = 36ft + 24ft + 12ft = 72ft

How much did the bike dealer lose altogether?

A N40

B N30

C N20

D N10

4. The drive from Oakland to Pinewood was a tricky one. I covered the uphill distance of 55 miles at 35 miles per hour. The return journey from Pinewood to Oakland was downhill, and I managed to drive at 63 miles per hour. What was my average speed for the entire journey?

A 60

B 55

C 50

D 45

E 40

The correct answer is option [D]

Solution:

It is important to note that

Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Total distance = 2

x 55 miles.

Time for uphill journey (from Oakland to Pinewood) = 55 / 35

hours.

Time for downhill journey (from Pinewood to Oakland) = 55

/ 63 hours.

Total time = (55 / 35) + (55 / 63) = 22 / 9 hours.

Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 45 miles per hour

14) What is the value of PS in the triangle below?
A.
B. 10
C. 11
D. 13
E   15
Use the Pythagorean Theorem twice, unless you recognize the common right triangle in the figure.
Since PR = 20 and QR = 16, PQR is a 3x-4x-5x right triangle with x = 4. Then PQ = 12, and PQS is a
right angle triangle whose legs are 5 and 12. The hypotenuse, PS, therefore is 13.

The answer is (D).


15)
Page 9

A. 40
B. 45
C. 50
D. 55
E. 57
Solution
Since lines l and k are parallel, the angle marked y in the given diagram and the sum of the angles
marked x and 45 are equal:
Y = x + 45 y – x = 45.the answer is (45).


16) In an office, there was a small cash box. One day Ann took half of the money plus $1 more. Then
Dan took half of the money plus $1 more. Stan then took the remaining $11. How many dollars were
originally in the box?
A. $50
B. $45
C. $42
D. $40
E. $38
Solution
You can avoid some messy algebra by working backward. Put back the $11 Stan took; then put back the
extra $1 that Dan took. There is now $12, which means that, when Dan took his half, he took $12. Put that
back. Now there is $24 in the box. Put back the extra $1 that Ann took. The box now has $25, so before
Ann took her half, there was $50. The answer is ($50).


17) Each of the 10 players on the basketball team shot 100 free throws, and the average number of
baskets made was 75. When the highest and lowest scores were eliminated the average number of
baskets for the remaining 8 players was 79. What is the smallest number of baskets anyone could have
made?
A. 22
B. 20

C. 18
D. 16
E. 14
Since the average of all 10 players was 75, the total number of baskets made was 10 × 75 = 750. Also,
since 8 of the player had an average of 79, they made a total of 8 × 79 = 632 points. The other 2
players, therefore, made 750- 632 = 118 baskets. The most baskets that the player with the highest
number could have made was 100, so the player with the lowest number had to have made at least 18.
The answer is 18.



18) Karen played a game several times. She received $5 every time she won and had to pay $2
every time she lost. If the ratio of the number of times she won to the number of times she lost was
3:2, and if she won a total of $66, how many times did she play the game?
A. 30
B. 35
C. 40
D. 45
E. 48
Karen won 3x times and lost 2x times, and thus played a total of 5x games. Since she got $5 every time
she won, she received $5(3x) = $15x. Also, since she paid $2 for each loss, she paid out $2(2x) = $4x.
Therefore, her net winning were $15x – 4x = $11x, which you are told was $66. Then, 11x = 66 ⇒ x = 6,
and so 5x = 30.
The answer is 30


19) Since 1950, when Martin graduated from high school, he has gained 2 pounds every year. In
1980 he was 40% heavier than in 1950. What percent of his 1995 weight was his 1980 weight?
A. 80
B. 85
C. 87.5
D. 90
E. 95

Solution
Let x = Martin’s weight in 1950. By 1980, he had gained60 pounds (2 pounds per
year for 30 years) and was 40% heavier:
60 = 0.40x x = 60 ÷ 0.4 = 150. In 1980, he weighed 210 pounds, 15 years later, in 1995, he weighed
240:
210/240= 7/8= 87.5%. The answer is C.
