@ sumant @ all
guys my score is vry less..it is 1210 (420v + 790q)
my verbal section was vry tough....the options of the ques were vry confusing...so plz learn the specific meanings of the words..
quant was li'l lengthy...but plz be through with p n' c and probabilty...
DI was also vry tricky and was involving tedious calculations..

and ans 4 the ques are..

1)there was a circle...and a triangle was drawn inside the circle with its diametr as the base..
cola: 5 times the area of triangle..
col b: area of circle..

ans) let the radius of the circle be r

then area of the cir = pi*(r^2)

now for triange diameter is the base..base = 2r

height was less than the radius in the figure...let height be h

there fore 5 times area of trin = 5*1/2 *2r * h

=5*r*h

therefore nw we have 2 compare 5h with pi*r

aftr comparing and pluggin in i got ans as (d) (becoz h was less than r)

2)three buks were to be selected out of 5 diff buks such that arrangement dsnt matter..
ans ) 5 c 3 =5c2 = 5*4/2 =10

the ans was (c) for this ques..

in case of ne query u guys can scrap me..

_______________________________________________________________

This is to sri kiran quants problem on 14 dec. and the solution is here

A school consists of 60% of Masters Degree students in yr 1995.If the total no .of students increased by 20% and no. of Masters
degree increased by 75% .What is the % of increase in no. of graduates from 1995 to 1999.

In the above question the problem might be at the 75% if ,The masters degree students have increased from 60% by 75% in the
question then the answer will be,

Consider that the students are =100 (it will be clearly 100% ok)then
Masters degree are 60% => 60 students clear then

So, the total increase of the studs is 20% => 120 studs (definitely)ok

Here comes the problem i.e the question is the percentage Increased from the 60% and by 75% then total 15 % increase then =>
0.15*60 = 9 studs has increased in the masters degree.
So, the total of masters degree studs increased to => 60+9 = 69 stud

so, now spit it that is(Total studs - Masters deg studs = remaining) 120-69 = 51 studs and these will be definitely the left of
graduate students of the college

so, 51 of 120 is = 15/120 * 100 = 42.5% increase in graduate students ( if the increase in percentage given in the question is w.r.t
the year 1999 to that of 1995 percentage).

did u have the option of 42.5 % or near that will be the answer buddy. srikiran

12/16/2006 2:55 AM my GRE quuestionhey frens done with GRE on 14th.

Quant- first thing that i want to tell u is this community works.i had around 6 to 7 question in quant from this community.
so here r some
1)(0.375)y=1 then y^2-1=?

ans:55/9 (0.375=3/8 and calculate accordingly)

2)square with side 60 was given.and circle was inscribed it it.we had to calculate fraction of area which is outside circle to the
square.(in other words (area of square - area of circle)/area of square )

ans.60 * 60 - 30 * 30 * PI
-----------------------
60 * 60

= 4 - pi
--------
4
3)how many numbers between 1 and 2000 inclusive are perfact square and cube?

ans.i am not sure but i had answered 3.

4)DI was simple but had very tedious calculation.but by looking at the options you can directly ans.Like i had to calculate %of
USA's population(was around 77,235) as a % of brazil's population (around 16,732).and options were a)20% b)10% c)5% d)0.1%
e)0.2%
so u can roughly calculate it.coz 16,732/77,235 comes around 1/5 which is near to 20%.
so plz do not literaly try to calculate %.it will cost u a lot of time.
ans.20%

5)A boy buys some x paintings at $20 each and buys y paitings at $25 each.x<y.

col A - mean of all paintings.

col B - median of all paintings

ans.column B

X<Y is the catch here.coz median would always be $25 and mean would be always less than 25.

6)a no. is multiple of 3.but not multiple of 6.

col A - remainder when no.is divided by 18.

colB - 18
and. D (coz 9/18 remainder is 9 and 3/18 remainder is 3)

7) x>100,y>100 then

col A - 3
col B - (3x + (1/y))x
ANS.col.B

12/16/2006 3:10 AM
cont...
8) col A- 5/8
col B- (5^o.5)/4
ans.col A (divide both sides by 4.then in col A we have 2.5 and in col B we have 5^0.5. now 2.5 > 5^0.5)

9)|X| = |Y| ; x>0 ; xy<0 x!=0 and y!=0

col A - y
col B - 0
ans : col B

Issue and argument
1)the theoretical knowledge or some theory(am not sure abt the wording) without strong data or proof is great disaster.
2)social behavior of children decides is destiny of our community but we as in the community are failed to rais the children.
Argument
There is a city club called OAK civic culb in OAK city.that club wants members only from the public belonging to OAK city.coz
employee who r not living in the city but are doin job in the city are not paying the TAX to the city.Also,this people doesnt know the
business and politics of the OAK city.By this news this public wont be disappointed coz there is one club outside the city which is
giving membership to all public like public of the city and outside city.
