Q 67 Correct answer: 132

Explanation: The first person shook hands with 11 remaining people, the second person also shook hands with 11 people, but we count 10, as the hand shake with the first person has already been counted. Then add 9 for the third person, 8 for the fourth one & proceeding in this fashion we get: 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 66.

Hence 66 handshakes took place before & 66 after the meeting, for a total of 132.



Q 68 Correct answer: A. Monday

Explanation: Four days before Monday is Thursday, simply because four days after Thursday is Monday. Besides, day after the day after tomorrow is Thursday only if present day is Monday.



Q 69 Correct answer: (iii) C

Explanation: On logical interpretation of the given statements one can arrive at the following conclusion:

A>B>E>D>C in order of decreasing weight. Hence C is the lightest of all the given fishes.



Q 70 Correct answer :(v) A,B

Explanation: On logical interpretation of the given statements one can arrive at the following conclusion:

A>B>E>D>C in order of decreasing weight. Hence, it can be seen that E is the lighter than A and B.

Q 71 Correct answer: C. bloat

Explanation: 6,12,1,13,5 each number in the break up signifies the corresponding letter in the alphabet. (viz. 6->f, 12->l...etc.)

Similarly 2, 12, 15,1,20 which signifies bloat.



Q 72 Correct answer: B. leaf

Answers & Explanations GMAT Practice Test Sample Questions 1-10

6=1. E: 112=121, not 144.

 

22. C: The descending sequence is geometric, with a common ratio of 0.5.

 

3. C: The conversion formula is: C=(F-32).5/9, where C represents degrees Celsius and F represents degrees Fahrenheit. Substituting 100.7 for F gives: C=(100.7-32).5/9, which simplifies to C=68.7.5/9. Thus, the temperature, in Celsius, is approximately 38.2°.

 

4. D: The problem may be modeled by the equation, 0.25x = 8.75. Solving for x gives x = 35. Since he thought he had 2 fewer quarters, he originally thought he had 33 quarters in his pocket.

 

5. C: The problem may be modeled by the following system of equations:(a=o+12@a+o=36). Substituting the expression for a, into the second equation, gives: o + 12 + o = 36. Solving for o gives o = 12. Thus, there are 12 oranges. Since there are 36 apples and oranges in all, there must be 24 apples.

 

6. C: The sequence, 9, 11, 13, 15, shows all odd integers, which are consecutive. The sum of 11 and 13 is indeed 24.

 

7. B: The sequence is a geometric sequence, with a common ratio of 2. Two times 48 is 96, thus the next number in the sequence is 96.

 

8. B: The number, 1, is rational, whole, and natural. A rational number is a number that terminates or repeats. A whole number is represented by the sequence, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …, while a natural number is a subset of the whole numbers, and is represented by the sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4,...

 

9. E: The sequence is a geometric sequence, with a common ratio of 1/2. Multiplication of 1/8 by 1/2 gives 1/16, which is the next number in the sequence.

 

10. E: The amount of sugar, needed in a cookie recipe, is best measured by the unit of cups, which is an appropriate measure of capacity.
