Problem Solving Butler: May 2025
May 12	PS 1	PS 2

_____________________________
PS 1

According to statistics, the probability that a 25 year old person will live one more year is 0.998. An insurance firm suggests that the person buy an insurance policy with a benefit of $ 1000 each, premium for risk being $3. One thousand such policies are issued. What profit will the firm expect to get from such a policy?

(A) $4
(B) $3
(C) $2
(D) $1
(E) $10

_____________________________
PS 2

Two internal combustion engines of the same power output were subjected to an efficiency test and it was found that one of them consumed 600 grams of petrol, while the other, which was in operation 2 hours less, consumed 384 grams. If the first engine had consumed as much petrol per hour as the second, and the second, as much as the first, then both engines would have consumed equal amounts of petrol during the same period of operation as before. How much petrol does each engine consume per hour?

(A) 36, 48 gms / hr
(B) 60, 48 gms / hr
(C) 60, 72 gms / hr
(D) 48, 72 gms / hr
(E) 30, 60 gms / hr

Critical Reasoning Butler: May 2025
May 12	CR 1	CR 2

_______________________________
CR 1

Language development specialists have discovered that most children learn languages best before puberty. During the years leading up to puberty, children’s brains are capable of absorbing new languages with less effort than the brains of children who are post-pubescent. As a result, pre-pubescent children are able to think in a new language far more quickly than their post-pubescent counterparts, and children prior to puberty are also able to retain those languages more easily than if they learn the languages after puberty. Funding is limited for second language programs, so schools in this country tend to delay the study of modern languages until high school; but young children would benefit from second language programs in the elementary years.

Which of the following best summarizes the main point of the passage?

(A) Children learn languages best before puberty because their brains absorb new languages more easily than the brains of those who are post-pubescent.

(B) There is currently not enough government funding to provide for second language programs at the elementary level.

(C) Because of a difference in brain development, children before puberty can learn to think in a new language more quickly than children after puberty.

(D) It is a mistake to delay the teaching of second languages until high school, as there is little chance that students will be able to retain a second language.

(E) Because children learn languages more easily before puberty, schools should adopt second language programs at the elementary level.

______________________________
CR 2

Operations at the Green Hills Gold Mine are continuously releasing mercury into the headwaters of the Apache River, and most fish in the Apache River now have mercury levels at or above the legal limit for human consumption. With the price of gold rising, forcing more and more mining at Green Hills, there seems no hope for food fishing along the Apache River.

Which of the following plans, if feasible, would allow the state to assist the food fishing industries along the Apache?

(A) State workers will test the algae and underwater plants for mercury, removing those above a certain mercury threshold. These algae and plants are the principal food source of the food fish.

(B) The state bank will start to buy up large amounts of gold, preferentially buying directly from the Green Hills mines.

(C) Every six months, the state will send testers to twelve locations along the upper and lower Apache River, to test the mercury content in the water and in fish.

(D) The state will mount a public awareness campaign, educating private citizen and restaurateurs about the dangers of high levels of mercury in food fish.

(E) Immediately downstream from Green Hills, the state will install a sophisticated ionic filtration plant, which will substantially reduce the level of heavy metals (including mercury) in the water.

Took first official - 595: V81,DI78,Q79.

Who has tips on improving? Feel like I’m just a couple questions off in each section for 655: V/Q83, DI81

So, the good news is that you are in a pretty nice spot!

That said, you do need to continue to find your holes and fix those to help improve your score. Thus, engaging in topical practice is a great way to do so. Let's use quant as an example.

For example, let’s say you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.

After each problem set, it's crucial to delve into the questions you answered incorrectly.

For instance, if you stumbled on a remainder question, take a moment to reflect. Was it a careless error? Did you fail to apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that eluded you? This analysis is key to your learning process.

By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant, verbal, and DI topics.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Good luck!
