  1. From the trivia question 151. Sentence Corrections:
    In winter when snow came and the temperature fell, my mother used to make me wear a thick coat and gloves.

    Fri, 28 Aug 2009 03:11:53 -0000

    I will go with B…

  2. From the trivia question Given (a/b) <0 Column A: (a^2)/b Column B: ab

    Fri, 28 Aug 2009 03:08:47 -0000

    Given a/b < 0.

    So a and b are of opposite signs.

    Hence ab < 0.

    But in order to decide whether \frac{a^2}{b} is positive or negative we need to know whether b is positive or negative which is not possible with the given information.

    Hence, relationship between A and B cannot be determined

  3. From the question IIFT

    Hi,

    First go through the previous paper so that you will get an idea about the GK topics that will be tested. If you have purchased material form the test prep institutes they will provide the GK as well and this should be sufficient. In case if you don’t have access to them, your best resource is Internet

    All the best

    Hi,

    In addition to the reputation of the institute you must also consider the faculty available at a particular centre. I heard that Jomboree, Chopras and CL are doing good in Delhi

  6. From the trivia question

    AB + CD = AAA, where AB and CD are two-digit numbers and AAA is a three digit number; A, B, C, and D are distinct positive integers. In the addition problem above, what is the value of C?

    Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:11:58 -0000

    Hi, gaurav has given a perfect explanation.

    Since A, B, C and D are distinct digits, if we consider AAA to be 222 or 333, there will be no possible values for B, C and D that satisfy the given condition.

    For example if we take A = 2, the equation becomes

    2B + CD = 222

    The maximum value that C take is 9. How can 2+C+some carry give us 22

    So this is not possible

  7. From the trivia question The speed of a railway engine is 42 Km per hour when no compartment is attached, and the reduction in speed is directly proportional to the square root of the number of compartments attached. If the speed of the train carried by this engine is 24 Km per hour when 9 compartments are attached, the maximum number of compartments that can be carried by the engine is:

    Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:08:28 -0000

    Hi,

    If 9 wagons are attached the speed is reduced by 18 km/hr.

    Given that reduction is proportional to square root of number of wagons, which is 3 in the above case.

    So, if the speed is to become 0 (train comes to rest), i.e. we need number of 42 km/hr for which the square root of number of wagons must be 7.

    Hence, if 49 wagons are attached the train comes to rest.

    Thus, a maximum of 48 wagons can be attached so that the train moves

  12. From the discussion Colleges for M.E/M.Tech ?

    Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:52:26 -0000

    Hi,

    Almost all the decent colleges consider GATE score for admission into their M.Tech program. Even if certain colleges conduct their own test, they will definitely accept GATE scores as well.

  13. From the trivia question GMAT- Quantitative Section Q#101: My summer job earned me $1500, which I'm planning to spend equally over the next 10 months. After the 4th month, I spent $640. By how much was was I over/under my plan?

    Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:49:41 -0000

    Hi,

    It is given that he planned to spend $1500 equally over 10 months. So he has to spend $150 per month. Hence, in 4 months he is expected to spend $600.

    But it is given that he has spent $640 instead of $600. Hence, he has spent $40 more than what he planned.

  15. From the discussion GMAT Books Comparison:

    Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:45:51 -0000

    Hi,

    Besides OG, you need to go through Manhattan Sentence Correction and Kaplan material for more practice. If you are scoring well with the preparation that OG gives that’s fine. But most of the students go for extra stuff for more practice.

  16. From the trivia question GMAT- Quantitative Section Q#43: P is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle. What's the area of the triangle in terms of P?

    Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:43:39 -0000

    Let ‘a’ be the side of the equilateral triangle.

    Given 3a = P

    Hence a = P/3

    Now, are of equilateral triangle = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times a^2

    = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \frac{P^2}{9} = \frac{P \times \sqrt{3}}{36}
