18th November Gre Quants Question

Quant:


1. How many integers are there between 176 and 256, which are not the multiples of 7?


2. Which is the greatest prime factor of 3^100 - 3^97?


3. Find the area of the square which has its diagonal length 10?


4. The x and y coordinates of two points were given and was asked to find its slope.


5. Given coordinates of two points P, Q on a graph
Col A:Distance of point 'P' from origin
Col B:Distance of Point 'Q' from origin
(Question is similar to this.. with P & Q values given)


6. If 'n' is an integer and 26n is a multiple of 12, then
Col A: Value of n
Col B: 11


7. If x^2 = 9, then
Col A: x-2
Col B: 0


8. Two frequency distribution tables are given.
Table I:
Value Frequency
-1 2
-2 3
-3 5
0 7
1 1
2 3
3 3

Table II:
Value Frequency
-1 3
-2 1
-3 4
0 6
1 1
2 3
3 4
Out of mean, median & mode which quantity is common for both tables?
A. Mean only
B. Median only
C. Mode only
D. Median & Mode
E. Mean & mode


9. There are two plants 'A' & 'B'. The plant 'A'
In, 1st week grows 1/4th
2nd week grows 1/5th
3rd week grows 1/6th
4th week grows 1/7th
5th week grows 1/8th
6th week grows 1/9th
& if plant B grows 3/4th in these 6weeks period, then
Col A: Growth of plant 'A' in 6weeks
Col B: Growth of plant 'B' in 6weeks.


10. A company gives a employee code to each of its employees. It consists of 4 alphabets followed by two numbers. All alphabets from A to Z (except A, E, I, O, U, Z) can be used & all numbers from 0 to 9 can be used. How many different possible employee codescan be made using these conditions?


11. A solid has dimensions of 12inchesx20inchesx15 inches. If the solid has a mass of 7kg, then what is the density of the box & its volume in cubic foot?
(Question is similar to this)


12. Two figures R & S given. R is a square with side 9 each & S is a square whose top right quater part has been cut(it is similar to R just a square part on top right is removed) & have side of 9 each. However the dimension of the area removed from top right quater is not given.
Col A: Area of R
Col B: 4/3 of are of S

Hi All,

1. 68
2. 13
3. 50
4. Need more data
5. Need more data
6. D (gets satisfied for both n=6 and n=12)
7. D
8. D( Median & Mode are same)
9. A
10. (20)^4*(10)^2
11. volume=3600, density=7/3600
12. C

Please verify the answers.

Hey guys,

could u plz tell me an easier way to calculate #9, other than approximating all the numbers(1/4, 1/5, 1/6...).

Thanks,

for number 9:

you say that if, for instance the plant grew another 1/4 of his height, and it's original height was x, his new height is x*(5/4). Thus, for plant A you get:
x*(5/4*6/5*7/6*8/7*9/8*10/9)
this simplifies to x*10/4

Plant B then grew y*(4/4+3/4)=y*7/4 which is less than A.
