A new motorcycle produced by ABC Company has a mileage of 40 miles per liter at 40 miles per hour. The mileage drops to 30 miles per liter if the speed reaches 50 miles per hour or drops to 30 miles per hour. What are the maximum and the minimum distance the bike can travel in ten hours and with ten liters of fuel if the speed during the entire journey is constant. Assume that the bike can go only at speeds of 30, 40 and 50 miles per hour. Make only one selection in each column.
Maximum Distance Minimum Distance Distance in miles
_______________ ________________ 200
_______________ ________________ 300
_______________ ________________ 400
_______________ ________________ 500
_______________ ________________ 600
_______________ ________________ 800
A. Minimum = 200, Maximum = 800
B. Minimum = 200, Maximum = 400
C. Minimum = 300, Maximum = 400
D. Minimum = 400, Maximum = 500

Companies can attract a great number of new customers by discounting prices on their products. However, discounted prices usually lead to lower profit margins on sales. Therefore, companies that already have low profit margins and cannot decrease their prices any further will not be able to attract a great number of new customers.
The argument above is flawed because it fails to consider that
A. It is possible to attract some new customers without discounting prices.
B. It is possible for companies to attract a great number of new customers without significantly discounting prices on their products.
C. More customers do not necessarily mean greater profits for the company.
D. A great many new customers may be attracted by means other than price reduction.
E. Many companies have significantly increased their profits without discounting prices on their products.
Question 4: Data sufficiency question

If y + 40x + 2 = 0, what is the value of xy?
(1) 16x = –4y + 28
(2) 13y = 91 – 52x
A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient to answer the question but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient to answer the question but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C. The two statements TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question.
E. The two statements TAKEN TOGETHER are still NOT sufficient to answer the question.

To pass a certain test, the ratio of the number of mistakes to the number of questions in the test must be lower than 7:40. If the test has 100 questions, what is the maximum number of mistakes Jack can make so that he can still pass the test?
A. 15
B. 16
C. 17
D. 18
E. 19
Question 6: Critical Reasoning Question
Click here
It takes the heat of large stars or supernovae to cause the fusion of magnesium with hydrogen, creating a chemically stable aluminum. Since aluminum is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, it can be inferred that, at least at some point, the temperature inside or outside Earth was comparable to that on large stars or supernovae.
Which of the following, if true, causes most damage to the conclusion of the argument above?
A. Creation of stable aluminum requires distinct pressure conditions not typical of contemporary Earth.
B. Some of the aluminum found on Earth was brought here with asteroids or other cosmic bodies that were parts of large stars or supernovae.
C. Most aluminum on Earth comes in oxides, and native aluminum can be found only in low oxygen environments.
D. Aluminum found on Earth has several vacant electrons that have to be artificially removed in order for it to become chemically stable.
E. Magnesium itself can only be formed under strictly defined conditions.

Evening
Iam in my penultimate year of Engineering and looking forward to apply for foreign universities which have YLP / (2 + 2) programs. Though I am maddeningly confused if i should even try or not, I would like to meet you in person and have a detailed discussion regarding my prospects for immediate MBA and your role in it. Awaiting you prompt reply.

Digvijay,
In general, we aren’t big fans of rushing into MBA applications (in whatever format – regular, 2+2, YLP) without having a clear picture of what you’d get out of it. Read this MBA book to find why.
Here’s a simpler solution. The basic information is available on the internet. You don’t need to pay any consultant to get the same information. Do your own research. If you are still as confused about whether you should go for it or not, the answer is – you should not go for it.
Hi Sameer,
I took the test and got 8 correct out of the 11. However, all the incorrect ones were from the topic- critical reasoning. Does it mean that I majorly need to focus on that topic? Does it suggest that I am well off in other topics?
I scored a 7 without GMAT SC . is it good. ?
I scored 7 points out of 9 questions.
