A. pi/2B.pi B. 3pi/2
C. 3pi
D. 7pi/2
Correct Answer: D Section: (none) Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
To solve this problem, it is helpful to draw segment OB in the figure. Since OB and ODare both radii of the circle, they both equal 5. Therefore, the angles opposite these congruent sides of


triangle BOD are congruent and angle OBD = 36°. The third angle of the triangle, angle BOD,
equals 180°- 36°- 36°= 108°. Arc BCD is a fraction of the circumference of the circle and more specifically equals mc0206, which equals 3pi The correct answer is choice (D)

If 0 < a < b < c < d < e in the equation above, then the greatest increase in S would result from adding 1 to the value of which variable?
A. a B. b C. c D. d E. e
Correct Answer: A Section: (none) Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
When the denominator of a fraction is increased, the value of the fraction decreases. Therefore, adding 1 go b, d, or e will decrease the sum S. Increasing one of the numerators, either a or c, will increase S. Adding 1 to a changes a divided by b to a plus one divided by b , thereby increasing S by
one divided by b . Adding 1 to c changes c divided by d to c plus one divided by d,
thereby increasing S by 1 divided by d. Since b<d, then one divided by b is greater than one


divided by d. Therefore, adding 1 to a will result in the greatest increase inS. The correct answer is (A).
QUESTION 198

If m and p are positive integers and (m + p) x m is even, which of the following must be true?
A. Ifmisodd,thenpisodd. B. Ifmisodd,thenpiseven. C. Ifmiseven,thenpiseven.


D. Ifmiseven,thenpisodd. E. mmustbeeven.
Correct Answer: A Section: (none) Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
If m is even, then the expression (m + p) x m will always be even and it cannot be determined whether p is even or odd. This eliminates choices (C) and (D). If m is odd, then (m + p) x m will be even only when m + p is even and m + p will be even only when p is odd. The correct answer is (A) since the truth of statement (A) also eliminates choices (B) and (E).
QUESTION 200
If xy = 2 and xy 2 = 8, what is the value of x ?
A. 1/2 B. 2 C. 4 D. 8 E. 16
Correct Answer: A Section: (none) Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Substituting xy = 2 into the equation xy2 = 8, you will obtain (xy)y = 2y = 8, thus y = 4. To find x, substitute y = 4 into one of the two original equations to obtain x = 1/2. The answer to this problem
is (A).
