for any integer k > 1 , the term β€œ length of an integer ” refers to the number of positive prime factors , not necessarily distinct , whose product is equal to k . for example , if k = 24 , the length of k is equal to 4 , since 24 = 2 Γ— 2 Γ— 2 Γ— 3 . if x and y are positive integers such that x > 1 , y > 1 , and x + 3 y < 960 , what is the maximum possible sum of the length of x and the length of y ?
"we know that : x > 1 , y > 1 , and x + 3 y < 960 , and it is given that length means no of factors . for any value of x and y , the max no of factors can be obtained only if factor is smallest no all factors are equal . hence , lets start with smallest no 2 . 2 ^ 1 = 2 2 ^ 2 = 4 2 ^ 3 = 8 2 ^ 4 = 16 2 ^ 5 = 32 2 ^ 6 = 64 2 ^ 7 = 128 2 ^ 8 = 256 2 ^ 9 = 512 2 ^ 10 = 1024 ( it exceeds 960 , so , x ca n ' t be 2 ^ 10 ) so , max value that x can take is 2 ^ 9 , for which has length of integer is 9 . now , since x = 512 , x + 3 y < 960 so , 3 y < 448 = = > y < 448 / 3 so , y can take any value which is less than 448 / 3 . and to get the maximum no of factors of smallest integer , we can say y = 2 ^ 7 for 2 ^ 7 has length of integer is 7 . so , combined together : 9 + 7 = 16 . b"

two things to remember : - 1 ) the ratio of quantity mixed to get an average is related to the ratio of each qty ' s distance from average . 2 ) more the qty of x from that of y , more closer will be average to x . . qty of 20 % / qty of 50 % = ( 50 βˆ’ 40 ) / ( 40 βˆ’ 20 ) = 1 / 2 = 1 : 2 answer : b

if g is the smallest positive integer such that 3150 multiplied by g is the square of an integer , then g must be
solution : this problem is testing us on the rule that when we express a perfect square by its unique prime factors , every prime factor ' s exponent is an even number . let ’ s start by prime factorizing 3150 . 3150 = 315 x 10 = 5 x 63 x 10 = 5 x 7 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 2 3150 = 2 ^ 1 x 3 ^ 2 x 5 ^ 2 x 7 ^ 1 ( notice that the exponents of both 2 and 7 are not even numbers . this tells us that 3150 itself is not a perfect square . ) we also are given that 3150 multiplied by g is the square of an integer . we can write this as : 2 ^ 1 x 3 ^ 2 x 5 ^ 2 x 7 ^ 1 x g = square of an integer according to our rule , we need all unique prime factors ' exponents to be even numbers . thus , we need one more 2 and one more 7 . therefore , g = 7 x 2 = 14 answer is e .

on a game show , a contestant is given 3 keys , each of which opens exactly one of the 3 identical boxes . the contestant assigns each key to one of the boxes and wins the amount of money contained in any box that is opened by the key assigned to it . the first box contains $ 4 , the second $ 400 , and the third $ 4000 . what is the probability that a contestant will win more than $ 4000 ?
let ' s call the boxes that contain $ 4 , $ 400 , and $ 4000 , respectively , box a , box b , box c . these are opened , respectively , by key a , key b , and key c . we want to know the probability of winning more than $ 4000 . notice that if the distribution of keys is : box a = key b box b = key a box c = key c then the contestant wins exactly $ 4000 , not more than $ 4000 . the only configuration that leads to winning more than $ 1000 is : box a = key a box b = key b box c = key c i . e . , getting all three keys correct . that ' s the only way to be more than $ 4000 . so , really , the question can be rephrased : what is the probability of guessing the order of keys so that each key matches the correct box ? well , for a set of three items , the number of possible permutations is 3 ! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6 . of those 6 possible permutations , only one of them leads to all three keys being paired with the right box . so , the answer is probability = 1 / 6 answer : b

in the graduating class of a certain college , 48 percent of the students are male and 52 percent are female . in this class 50 percent of the male and 20 percent of the female students are 25 years old or older . if one student in the class is randomly selected , approximately what is the probability that he or she will be less than 25 years old ?
percent of students who are 25 years old or older is 0.5 * 48 + 0.2 * 52 = ~ 34 , so percent of people who are less than 25 years old is 100 - 3 = 66 . answer : b .

of the 3600 employees of company x , 12 / 25 are clerical . if the clerical staff were to be reduced by 1 / 4 , what percent of the total number of the remaining employees would then be clerical ?
let ' s see , the way i did it was 12 / 25 are clerical out of 3600 so 1728 are clerical 1728 reduced by 1 / 4 is 1728 * 1 / 4 so it reduced 432 people , so there is 1296 clerical people left but since 432 people left , it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 3168 people total since 1296 clerical left / 3168 people total you get ( a ) 40 %
