(A) 30%
(B) 40%
(C) 29%
(D) 39%
(E) 66% I think you meant "The diagonal of a square is approximately how much less than the two of its sides combined" clearly, if side of a square is x , the diagonal will be x*\sqrt{2}What we want is : (2x-x*\sqrt{2} )*100/2x or (2-\sqrt{2})*100/2\sqrt{2} is approx 1.41 , therefore 100(2-1.41) is slightly less than 60. Dividing it by 2 we get a number slightly less than 30. Among answer choices C is the only one slightly less than 30. Ans C it is!

Re: A square carpet with an area of 169m^2.. [#permalink]
15 Nov 2012, 09:07
First, you need to find the length of the sides of the original carpet:
x^2 = 169
x = 13
If you cut the length of the square by 2, the square now becomes a rectangle with the side lengths of: 13, 11, 13, 11.
New area of the carpet (and hence the room) is 13 x 11 = 143.
Not sure if this is a 700 level question.

Re: If the average of a, b, c is M.. [#permalink]
15 Nov 2012, 09:10
vomhorizon wrote: If the average of a, b, c is M ad ab+bc = - ca then the average of a^2, b^2, c^2 is?
(A) M^2
(B) 3M^2
(C) 9M^2
(D) 36M^2
(E) 27M^2 (a+b+c)/3 = M => a+b+c = 3M ab + bc = -ca => ab+ bc+ca = 0 (a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) substituting values (3M)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2*0 => a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 9M^2 Avg of a^2, b^2, c^2 = (a^2 + b^2 + c^2)/3 = (9M^2)/3 = 3M^2 So, Answer will be B Hope it helps!

(A) 7
(B) 8
(C) 9
(D) 11
(E) Cannot be determined The number(n) can be written as n = 84k + 57 where k is an integer when n is divided by 12 then 84k+57 is divided by reminder. 84k goes with 12. and 57 gives 9 as a reminder when divided by 12. So, 84k + 57 which is n will give 9 as reminder. So, answer will be C Hope it helps!

Re: A dealer marks articles at a price that gives him a profit.. [#permalink]
15 Nov 2012, 10:50
I don't understand how it is 6.2%?!
Consider the consignment to be ‘y’.
If nothing went wrong he must have made money of 1.3xy
Since he sold 0.24y for x/2=> 0.12xy
0.06y is a loss
So the remaining is 0.7y which he sold for 0.7*1.3xy
Total money he made 0.12xy+0.91xy=1.03xy
Profit/Loss= (1.03xy-1.3xy)/1.3xy *100 = -0.27/1.3 *100 = 20% (approx loss)
Even if he is asking abt the profit he made on the amount he invested... the last line would be...
Profit/Loss= (1.03xy-xy)/xy *100 = 0.03*100 = 3% (approx profit)

length of all sides = 13
now length of one side = 11
13*11=xx3. only one answer has 3 as the units digit. stop, there is your answer.

We can also answer this question by simply plugging in.. Since the number leaves a remainder of 57 when divided by 84 , the number can be : 57 (Q is 0) , 141 (Q1 R57) , 225(Q2 R57), 309..... Etc We can divide each one our "TEST NUMBERS" by 12, and we will get 9 as the remainder for each one..

Re: A number when divided by 84 leaves a remainder of 57 [#permalink]
15 Nov 2012, 20:31
If a number can be divided by 84 and leaves a remainder of 57 . then it should be:
84x+57/12
Here x can be 0,1,2,3.....
So we got the number , 84x+57. Now divide this number by 12. Bingooooo 84 is divisible by 12 then only left is 57. Now divide 57/12.. we get 9..
This problem would be little more complicated if the divisor was 11.
