while this question can be solved with a rather straight - forward algebra approach ( as the other posters have noted ) , it can also be solved by testing the answers . one of those numbers must be the total number of goals . . . from a tactical standpoint , it ' s best to test either answer b or answer d , so if the answer is not correct , then you would have a gauge for whether you should go higher or lower with your next test . here , i ' ll start with answer d = 11 goals if . . . . total goals = 11 goals 5 th game = 3 goals 1 st 4 games = 8 goals avg . for 4 games = 8 / 4 = 2 goals / game avg . for all 5 games = 6 / 5 = 2.2 goals / game 2.2 * 5 = 11 so answer d

"this problem can be solved easily if we just use approximation : 35 % is a little over 1 / 3 , while 4 / 13 is a little less than 4 / 12 , which is 1 / 3 . thus , the answer is about 1 / 3 of 1 / 3 of 650 , or 1 / 9 of 650 . since the first 1 / 3 is a slight underestimate and the second 1 / 3 is a slight overestimate , the errors will partially cancel each other out . our estimate will be relatively accurate . the number 650 is a bit more than 630 , so ( 1 / 9 ) * 630 will be about 70 . keeping track not only of your current estimate , but also of the degree to which you have overestimated or underestimated , can help you pinpoint the correct answer more confidently . the answer is c ."

the difference between the squares of two consecutive odd integers is a square < 1000 whose root equals the combined sum of the digits of the two integers . what is the sum of the digits m of the larger integer ?
really hard . but let ' s start with few concepts : 1 . square of an odd integer will be odd . 2 . difference of odd and odd will be even . 3 . any odd integer can be expressed as difference of two squares . 4 . an even integer can be expressed as difference of two squares only if that even integer is a multiple of 4 . assume two odd integers to be ( 2 x - 1 ) and ( 2 x + 1 ) . difference of their squares = ( 2 x + 1 ) ^ 2 - ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ 2 = 4 x ^ 2 + 1 + 4 x - ( 4 x ^ 2 + 1 - 4 x ) = 4 x ^ 2 + 1 + 4 x - 4 x ^ 2 - 1 + 4 x = 8 x now root of 8 x needs to be an integer such that it is equal to the sum of the digits of the two odd integers . 8 = 2 ^ 3 , so x needs to be such that itcompletesa perfect square . if we find x , we can find the value of 2 x + 1 ( larger integer ) and then sum of its digits . let ' s check the options , starting with c . for sum to be 8 , few possibilities are : 17 , 35 , 53 , 71 if we take 17 , the pair is 15 and 17 , meaning x = 8 . 8 x = 64 root of 64 = 4 but 4 is not equal to 1 + 5 + 1 + 7 . reject . if we take 35 , the pair is 33 and 35 , meaning x = 17 . 8 x = 8 * 17 reject since perfect square is not possible . if we take 53 , the pair is 51 and 53 , meaning x = 26 . 8 x = 8 * 26 reject since perfect square is not possible . if we take 71 , the pair is 69 and 71 , meaning x = 35 . 8 x = 8 * 35 reject since perfect square is not possible . i tried each option and the possibilities and then got lost . then , it occurred to me that i was only checking 2 - digit integers . what about 3 - digits ? starting with option a , only 2 - digit odd integer whose sum is 2 is 101 . if we take 101 , the pair is 99 and 101 , meaning x = 50 . 8 x = 8 * 50 = 400 root of 400 = 20 which is indeed equal to 9 + 9 + 1 + 1 . answer ( a ) .

an exam consists of 7 true / false questions . brian forgets to study , so he must guess blindly on each question . if any score above 70 % is a passing grade , what is the probability that brian passes ?
if you have 8 t or f and brian is going to guess then each question he has a 50 % chance of getting correct . if a passing score is 70 % it means brian needs to get 6 / 8 = 75 % , 7 / 8 = 87.5 % , or 8 / 8 = 100 % to pass . each is a possibility . if brian gets a 5 / 8 ( = 62.5 % ) or below he fails . so first figure out the number of ways that brian can get 6 out of 8 , 7 out of 8 , and 8 out of 8 questions correct . which is 8 choose 6 , equals is 28 , 8 choose 7 , equals 8 , and 8 choose 8 , equals 1 . this sums to 37 . the number of possible questions outcomes - the sum of 8 choose 8 , 7 choose 8 , 6 choose 8 … . 2 choose 8 , 1 choose 8 , and 0 choose 8 is 256 , so the chance of him passing is 219 / 256 . d

explanatory answer this question is a word problem in linear equations . the problem is solved by framing two linear equations from the information given in the question and solving them . let ' s ' be the number of small slices and ' b ' the number of large slices sold on that night . therefore , s + b = 5000 . . . eqn ( 1 ) each small slice was sold for rs . 150 . therefore , ' s ' small slices would have fetched rs . 150 s . each large slice was sold for rs . 250 . therefore , ' b ' large slices would have fetched rs . 250 b . total value of sale = 150 s + 250 b = 10 , 50000 ( note the left hand side is in rupees and hence we have to convert right hand also to rupees from lakhs of rupees ) or 150 s + 250 b = 10 , 50000 . . . eqn ( 2 ) multiplying equation ( 1 ) by 150 , we get 150 s + 150 b = 7 , 50000 . . . eqn ( 3 ) subtracting eqn ( 3 ) from eqn ( 2 ) , we get 100 b = 300000 or b = 3000 we know that s + b = 5000 so , s = 5000 - b = 5000 - 3000 = 2000 . 2000 small slices were sold . answer b
