1. 100x
A) 1100x B) y
D
2. 2. If a certain automobile gets between 20 and 24 miles per gallon of gasoline, inclusive, what would be the maximum amount of gasoline, in gallons, this automobile would consume on a trip of 360 miles?
A) 20 B) 18 C) 16.4 D) 16 E) 15
maximum amout = 360/20 = 18
minimum amount = 360/24
B
4. 1-X / X-1 = 1/X and x not equal to 1.
A) X B) -1/2
x^2 = 1
x =+1/ -1
D
5. A,
6. 6. X > 0
A) 1/x + 1 B) 1/x+1
if, say
1/x + 1 > 1/(x+1)
(x+1)^2>1
x^2 + x +1 >0
which is true
so, A
7. 7. An experiment has 3 possible outcomes, I, J and K. The possibilities of the outcomes are 0.25, 0.35 and 0.40 respectively. If the experiment is to be performed twice and the successive outcomes are independent, what is the probability that K will be not an outcome either time?
A) 0.36 B) 0.40 C) 0.60 D) 0.64 E) 0.80
probability = probability of k occuring neither time = (1-k)x(1-k) = .6x.6 = .36
A
8. 1 gallon = 8 pints and 1 quart = 2 pints
A) The least number of half-pint bottles needed to hold x quarts of milk
B) The least number of one quart bottles needed to hold x gallons of milk .
x qrtr = 2x pints
so 4x no of half pint bottles for case 1.
x gallons = 8x pints = 4x qrts bottles.
