[Math Revolution GMAT math practice question]

If r is a positive integer, n=r^3 and 4,14, and 27 are factors of n, which of the following must be a factor of n?

A. 16
B. 32
C. 36
D. 48
E. 64

=>

Since 4 = 2^2,14 = 2*7, 27 = 3^3 are factors of n and n is a perfect cube, the smallest possible value of n is 2^3*3^3*7^3.

When n = 2^3*3^3*7^3, 16 = 2^4, 32 = 2^5, 48=2^4*3 and 64 = 2^6 can’t be factors of n. The only answer choice that is a factor of n is 36 = 2^2*3^2.

Therefore, the answer is C.

What is the sum of roots of the equation x^2 – 40x + 399 = 0?

A. 19
B. 20
C. 21
D. 40
E. 399

=>

Let p and q be the roots of the equation x^2 – 40x + 399 = 0.
Then x^2 – 40x + 399 = (x-p)(x-q) = x^2 – (p+q)x + pq.
Equating coefficients gives p + q = 40 from the coefficient of x.

Therefore, the answer is D.

If n is the greatest positive integer for which 5^n is a factor of 50!, what is the value of n?

A. 10
B. 11
C. 12
D. 13
E. 14

=>

50! = 1*2*…*5*…*10*…*15*…*20*…*25*…*30*…*35*…*40*…*45*…*50
=1*2*…*(5)…*(2*5)*…*(3*5)*…*(4*5)*…*(52)*…*(6*5)*…*(7*5)*…*(8*5)*…*(9*5)*…*(2*5^2)
Since 5 is a prime number, no further factors of 5 appear in the prime factorization of 50!. The number of 5s in the above expansion of 50! is 12.

Therefore, the answer is C.

If 5^{m-2}2^{m+2} is an n-digit integer, where m is an integer greater than 2, what is the value of n, in terms of m?

A. n=m-4
B. n=m-2
C. n=m-1
D. n=m
E. n=2m

=>

5^{m-2}2^{m+2} = 5^{m-2}2^{m-2+4} = 5^{m-2}2^{m-2}*2^4 = (5*2)^{m-2}*2^4= (10)^{m-2}*2^4
= 16*(10)^{m-2} = 16*(100…0)= 1600…0 with m-2 0’s.
10^{m-2} has m-2 digits that are 0 and 16*(10)^{m-2} has digits including 1, 6 and m-2 digits that are 0.
Thus, 16*(10)^{m-2} has m – 2 + m = m digits.

Therefore, D is the answer.

If the interior angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3 to 4 to 5, what is the measure of the largest angle?

A. 30
B. 45
C. 60
D. 75
E. 90

=>

Let x, y and z be interior angles of the triangle.
Since x:y:z = 3:4:5, we can write x = 3k, y = 4k and z = 5k.
Since the interior angles of the triangle add to 180, x + y + z = 3k + 4k + 5k = 12k = 180, and so k = 180/12 = 15.
Therefore, the largest angle of the triangle is z = 5k = 5(15) = 75.

Therefore, the answer is D.

(1^2+2^2+3^3+…+20^2) / (1+2+3+ …+20)=?

A. 41/3
B. 41/6
C. 41
D. 210
E. 420

=>

Now, 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + … + n^2 = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 and 1 + 2 + 3 + … + n = n(n+1)/2. So,
(1^2+2^2+3^3+…+20^2) / (1+2+3+ …+20) = ( 20*21*41/6 ) / ( 20*21/2 )
= (41/6) / (1/2) = 41/3

Therefore, the answer is A.

E. 1/2

=>
1/(1*2) + 1/(2*3) + 1/(3*4) + … + 1/(99*100)
= (1/1 – 1/2) + (1/2 – 1/3) + (1/3 – 1/4) + … + (1/99 – 1/100) = 1/1 – 1/100 = 1 – 1/100 = 99/100 after cancellation of the inner terms.

x^4+12x^3+49x^2+78x+40 can be factored as a product of four linear polynomials with integer coefficients. Which of following cannot be a factor of x^4+12x^3+49x^2+78x+40?

A. x+1
B. x+2
C. x+3
D. x+4
E. x+5

=>

Assume x^4+px^3+qx^2+rx+s = (x+a)(x+b)(x+c)(x+d).
Then, s = abcd.
The constant terms a, b, c and d of the linear factors are factors of the constant term s of the original polynomial.

Since 3 is not a factor of 40, x + 3 cannot be a factor of the original polynomial x^4+12x^3+49x^2+78x+40.

Therefore, C is the answer.

A. f(x)=x+1
B. f(x)=x^2+1
C. f(x)=√x
D. f(x)=1/x
E. f(x)=2^x

=>

|√3-2|+|3-√2|+|5+√3|+|1-√2|=?

A. 0
B. 2√2
C. 2√3
D. 9
E. 11

=>

|A|=A when A>0, |0|=0, and |A|=-A when A<0

Since √3-2 < 0, we have |√3-2| = -(√3-2).
Since 3-√2 > 0, we have |3-√2| = 3-√2.
Since 5+√3 > 0, we have |5+√3| = 5+√3
Since 1-√2 < 0, we have |1-√2| = -(1-√2)
So, |√3-2|+|3-√2|+|5+√3|+|1-√2|= -(√3-2) +(3-√2) + (5+√3) -(1-√2)
= -√3+2 + 3-√2 + 5+√3 – 1 +√2 = 9.

Therefore, the answer is D.

The sequence Sn has the terms S1=1, S2=2, S3=6, S4=15, S5=31, ……. If n is a positive integer, what could be the value of Sn-Sn-1 in terms of n?

A. n
B. n^2
C. –n
D. -n^2
E. (n-1)^2

=>

We begin by writing out the terms of the sequence:

S2-S1 = 2 -1 = 1=1^2
S3-S2 = 6 – 2 = 4 = 2^2
S4-S3 = 15 – 6 = 9 = 3^2
S5-S4 = 31-15 = 16 = 4^2
…
Following the above pattern gives
Sn-Sn-1 = (n-1)^2

Therefore, the answer is E.

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2

If the 2 lines have infinitely many points of intersection, their equations must specify the same straight line.
The equation x+2y=3 is equivalent to 2x+4y=6.
So, p = 4 and q = 6.

Therefore, the answer is E.

When 2 people are selected at random from a group of 4 females and 4 males, what is the probability that at least one female is selected?

A. 5/14
B. 7/14
C. 9/14
D. 11/14
E. 13/14

=>
The probability that at least one female is selected is equal to 1 minus the probability that two males are selected.
There are 4C2 ways of selecting 2 males from the four males and 8C2 ways of selecting 2 people from the group of 8. Therefore, the probability of selecting two males from the group is 4C2/8C2, and the probability of selecting at least one female is
1 – 4C2/8C2 = 1 – { (4*3)/(1*2) } / { (8*7)/(1*2) } = 1 – (4*3)/(8*7) = 1 – 3/14 = 11/14

Therefore, the answer is D.

Five letters A, P, P, L and E are listed in a row. How many arrangements have at least one letter between the two Ps?

A. 24
B. 30
C. 36
D. 42
E. 48

=>

When we encounter “at least” in counting questions or probability questions, we should consider complementary counting.
The total number of arrangements of the 5 letters is 5!/2! (5! Counts each arrangement of the two Ps 2! times).
The number of arrangements with no letter between the two Ps is 4!.
Thus, the number of arrangements in which at least one letter lies between the two Ps is 5!/2! – 4! = 60 – 24 = 36.

Therefore, C is the answer.

[Math Revolution GMAT math practice question]

If 3 different numbers are selected from the first 8 prime numbers, what is the probability that the sum of the 3 numbers selected is even?

A. 1/4
B. 1/3
C. 1/2
D. 2/3
E. 3/8

=>

Suppose p, q and r are prime numbers.
In order for p + q + r to be even, one of them must equal 2, since 2 is the only even prime number.
Once 2 has been selected, there are 7 prime numbers remaining from which to select 2 numbers. Thus, the number of selections in which the sum of the 3 numbers is even is 7C2 = 21.
The total number of selections is 8C3 = 56.
Thus, the probability that the sum of the three numbers is even is 21/56 = 3/8.

Therefore, the answer is E.
Answer: E
