other two numbers?
 
(A)5
(B)10
(C)12

Average of 5 numbers is 7, numbers must add up to 35

Three of those number average 5, numbers must add up 15
The sum of two numbers left is 35-15 = 20
Average of those two numbers is 10
8. If $5,000 is invested in an account that earns 8% interest compounded semi-
annually, then the interest earned after one year would be how much greater
than if the $5,000 had been invested at 8% simple yearly interest?
(A)$4
(B)$8
(C)$12
(D)$16
(E)$432
8. B
Determine two amounts of interest
4% of 5,000 is 200.
4% of the new balance $5,200 is 208, and the account contains $5,408

For the other account, 8% of 5,000 is 400, so the account contains $5,400

The difference is $5,408 - $5,400 = $8

Plug in.
Let x = 20 and a = 100.
20% of 100 is 20, so b=20
100 is 5 times 20, so the target is 5.
Now, Plug In x=20 into the answer choices looking for the target 5.
Only (E) matches
10. If Teena is driving at 55 miles per hour and is currently 7.5 miles behind
Joe, who is driving at 40 miles per hour in the same direction, then in how
many minutes will Teena be 15 miles ahead of Joe?
 
(A)15
(B)60
(C)75
(D)90
(E)105
10. D

Difference is 55 – 40 = 15 miles per hour

Relative distance is 15 + 7.5 miles = 22.5 miles
D = RT, and solve for T. 22.5 = 15T yields that T = , or T = 1.5 hours.
1.5 60 = 90 minutes
11. In the figure above, if l1 l2, which of the following angles must
be equivalent?
 
(A)a and b
(B)g and f
(C)d and e
(D)a and d
(E)f and d
 
11. D

Both a and d are big angles created as line across and and
therefore a and d must be equal
12. In the diagram above, if the area of triangle LNO is 32, then
what is the area of triangle LMN?

(A)24
(B)24
(C)24
(D)32
(E)48
12. B

The area of a triangle is bh, so 32 = (LO)8, which simplifies to 32

= 4LO, and LO = 8.
LNO is 45-45-90 triangle, x: x: x
LN has a length of 8
LN as the base of triangle LMN, height is 6
Thus, bh = (8)6, which simplifies to 3(8) = 24
13. In the figure above, P is the center of the larger circle, and N is the center
of the smaller, shaded circle. If the radius of the smaller circle is 5, what is the
area of the unshaded region.
 
(A)100𝜋
(B)75𝜋
(C)25𝜋
(D)20𝜋
(E)10𝜋
 
13. B

Radius of the circle with center N is 5. So, the area is 𝜋 = 𝜋(25𝜋

Radius of the circle with center P is 2 5 = 10. The area is 𝜋 = 𝜋(

The area of the unshaded region is - 25𝜋 = 75

16. If x is an integer, is y an integer?

(1) The average (arithmetic mean) of x, y, and y-2 is x.

(2) The average (arithmetic mean) of x and y is not an integer.

(A)Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not
sufficient.
(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not
sufficient.
(C)BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement
ALONE is sufficient.
(D)EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
(E)Statement (1) and (2) TOGETHER are not sufficient.
16. From statement (1), = x simplifies to y = x + 1. Since x is an
integer, x and y are consecutive integers. Thus, (1) alone is sufficient, and the
answer must be A or D.

From statement (2) alone, y might be an integer (e.g., x = 5 and y =6) or y

might not be an integer (e.g., x =5 and y = 6.2). In both examples, the average
is not an integer. Therefore, (2) alone is not sufficient, and the best answer is
A.

List II, the mode is 3 and median is 5. Their sum is 8.

Median of List 1 must also be 8. There are 6 elements in
List I. Median will be the average of 3 rd and 4th numbers.
Those two numbers must add up to 16.
Since 7 is already listed, to get a median of 8 is if y is 9.

If there are as many trainees as there are full time workers, then what fraction of all the
envelopes stuffed in a day did the trainees stuff?
(A)
(B)

(C)
25. C
Let the number of full-time workers be 5. There are as many as trainee as
there are full-time workers, so there are 5 = 2 trainees
Let the number of envelops each full-time worker can stuff per day be 3.
So each trainee can stuff 3 = 2 envelops per day
Full-time workers can stuff 5 3 = 15 envelops, trainees stuff 2 2 = 4
envelopes
Two groups stuffs 15 4 = 19 envelops
Trainee stuff 4 envelops, so they stuffed of the envelops.
26. If Set X contains 10 consecutive integers and the sum of the 5
least members of the set is 265, then what is the sum of the 5
greatest members of the set?
 
(A)290
(B)285
(C)280
(D)275
(E)270
26. A

We assign x to represent the smallest integer, then x + (x+1) +

(x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) =265, so 5x + 10 = 265, 5x = 255, and
x = 51. The five least consecutive integers are thus 51 through
55.
The five greatest integers are 56 through 60. The total is 290.

does. If all 3 work on a ditch they should finish it in what fraction of the time
that the worker takes working alone?

(A)

45. D
The list is 16, 23, 30, 37, 44, 51, 58, 65, 72, 79, 86,93.
The only primes less than 10 are 2, 3, 5, and 7.
Now, 16, 30, 44, 58, 72 and 86 are even, and 51 and 93 are
divisible by 3 and 65 is divisible by 5 so the only possible
primes are 23, 37, and 79. Since none of these is divisible
by 7, they all are prime. The correct choice is (D).
