22nd May Gre Quants Question

Hey guyz......jus gave my GRE today.....
got 1200........quants-800 verbal-400
juz keep visiting this site for quants guyz..........swear to god that about 5-6 sums came previous threads....
thanks to all the members of gre daily update blog......u guyz really helped....


1. r < s < t, x < y
when arranged in increasing order, which of these 5 numbers cannot be 2nd
ans: t

2. 1 container can contain maximum 3 cubic feet of milk. How many cubic yards of milk can be contained in 100 containers.

3. There are 2 parallel lines goven p and q. There is another line L given such that line lcuts line p at the point A and line q at point C. Another line m intersects line L at point A and further cuts line q at point B
Col A: AB
Col B: AC
Ans: D

4. An item can be made by selecting a combination of 2 subitems. The first sub item can be selected in 3 out of 5 ways. The seond sub item can be selected in 4 out of 5 ways. What are the maximum number of combinations availible.
Ans :25

5.
Col A: 100! / 99!
Col B: (100! - 99!)/ 98!

6. A sequence is given to you. 1,-3,5,-7........
The nth number is represented by {(-1)^(n+1)}*(2n-1)
What is the sum of the first 25 numbers.

7. There was another sum where they had given us 5 different lines as the options, and asked us which line has the greatest slope.
Ans: -(y co-eff)/(x-coeff)

8. Given Set A = {5,6,7,8,9} &
Set B = {26,27,28,29,30}
If one element is choosen from A say 'X' and one from B say 'Y' then how many different values of x+y are possible?
Ans: 9

9. Given a line in xy plane with slope k = -1/2
Col A: x-intercept
Col B: y-intercept
Ans: B

10. OK, there was a diagram here......gunna try n explain As well as possible. Its a co-ordinate geometry sum.

Imagine the x and y axis. Theres a line drawn such that it cuts the y-axis at B(0,b) and the x-axis at A(a,0). Now there is another line drawn parallel to the x-axis such that its distance from point B is K. It cuts the line AB at point (x,y). You have to find the value of x and y in terms of a,b,k.

Ans: x=ak/b, y=b-k.

This is all i can remember.....there were 2 graphs as usual........think of anythin else.............will post it later.
