When x, y are positive integers, x@y=xy/(x+y). If a, b, and c are positive numbers, what is the value of 1/a@(1/b@1/c)?
A. a+b+c
B. 1/abc
C. 1/(a+b+c)
D. 1/(ab+bc+ca)
E. 3/abc

ANS: Since (1/b@1/c)=1/(b+c), we get 1/a@(1/b@1/c)=1/(a+b+c). Hence, the correct answer is C.

8 red card number 1-8 put in one box， 8 blue card number 1-8，put in another box, take one card from each of the box，what is the probability that the number match each other?
A. 1/2
B. 1/4
C. 1/8
D. 1/16
E. 1/64

ANS: From (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6),(7,7),(8,8), the probability of the number match each other is 8. Hence, 8C1/(8C1)(8C1)=1/8. So, the correct answer is C.

There are two circle-shaped pizzas. The diameter of the smaller pizza is 10 and the larger pizza’s area is 2 times of the smaller pizza’s area, what is the diameter of the larger pizza, in whole number?
A. 12
B. 15
C. 18
D. 20
E. 25

ANS: Since √(proportion of area) = proportion of length. If the proportion of area is 2, then we have √2. Hence, the proportion of length becomes approximately 1.5. So, from 10*1.5=15. Thus, the correct answer is B.
