10th September GRE Quants Question

1. Col A: 149!/148!
Col B: (149!*148!-148!)/147!

2. An area of 1350 is given whose length is 15yards more than the width. Calculate the amount of wire needed for fencing in yards?

3. In a college of 700 students, 200 choose maths, 350 choose science, 250 choose history, 150 choose both science and math and 100 chose neither. Calculate the number of sophomores who chose all three?

4. If x and y are positive even numbers, then
Col A: (-1)^(x+y)/2
Col B: (-1)^(x+y

5. If Y = 135degrees and Z = 145degree then find x?

6. A 6 bicylists has to be chosen from 4 adult and 4 children
Col A: How many 3 adult and 4 children teams can be formed
Col B: How many 2 adult and 2 children teams can be formed

7. The probability of A hitting the target is 2/3. And probability of B hitting the same target is 4/7. So, what is the probability that neither of them will hit the target?

8. There is a three digit number 'N'. 'X' is in hundreds digit, 'Y' is tens digit and 'Z' is units digit. If X is multipiled by 9, Y is multipied by 6 and 'Z' by 2 and all the three are added up. What is the sum of N-735?

9. If x < 0, then
Col A: [x]
Col B: -x

10. There is a parabola whose equation was y=2x-x^2. The parabola was drawn such that, the curvy part was in the first quadrant.. and now if (s, t) is any point between positive x-axis and the curve
Col A: t
Col B: 2s-s^2

4th quest i think D will come..

If u select x=2 & y=4 then B is greater
If u choose x=4 & y=8 then C is coming

So ans must be D.

Pls reply i have a gre on 12th..

9. If x < 0, then
Col A: [x]
Col B: -x

assume x is -1
col a mod(-1)=1
colb -x =-1
so col a is greater


please correct me if i am wrong

9. If x < 0, then
Col A: [x]
Col B: -x

if x=-1, mod(-1)=1
-x=-(-1)=1
ans:c
