GRE UPDATE - OCTOBER 2007 QUANTS
Hi guys and girls,
I was able to collect a total of only 18 questions for GRE OCTOBER QUANTS 2007 as of now. That too only problem solving type. I did receive quite a few comaprison questions, but I was not able to verify them due to incomplete information about the two columns without which I cannot guarantee reliable answers. I am sill analysing them. It will probably take me two to three days to consolidate, verify and then post them. If you have doubts about how to solve any of the following questions, you may request for explanation, I will be glad to send you adequate elucidation on those particular questions. More quants questions for GRE OCTOBER 2007 will follow.
Problem Solving :
( Most of the questions have been re-framed and the values have been substituted with simple ones, but the type of the questions have been preserved )
1. There was a total of L slices of pizza. Mr. X keeps some pizza for himself and divides the remaining slices among Q friends. If each friend receives T slices, how many slices does Mr. X keep for himself? ( re-framed sentences )
Ans: L-(Q*T)
2. A cab-for-hire company costs $1.75 for the first quarter mile and fifteen cents for each additional quarter mile. What is the maximum distance you can travel with $4.90?
Ans: 5 1/2 miles
3. A master builder is building a new house. He gets 3 apprentices who EACH work 2/3 as fast as he does. If all 4 work on it together, they should finish it in what fraction of the time that it would have taken the master builder working alone? ( re-framed )
Ans: 1/3
4. A salesman's income was divided between commission and regular salary. His salary, therefore, varied from week to week. His weekly salaries over a 5-week period were: $406.20, $413.50, $420.00, $425.00 and $395.30. What was his average weekly salary over the 5 week period?
Ans: $412.00
5. A train travels 15 miles per ton of coal when it carries no cargo. When the train is filled with cargo, it travels 80% as far on a ton of coal as it does when it has no cargo. If the train is filled with cargo, how many tons of coal will the train use to travel 160 miles?
Ans: 13 1/3
6. The average (arithmetic mean) of six numbers is 24. If the sum of four of these numbers is 96, what is the average of the other 2 numbers?
Ans: 24
7. A bottle cap factory makes 7,200 bottle caps per hour, how many does it make per second?
Ans: 2
8. X years in the future, Jim will be Y years old. Z years in the future, Jim will be how old?
Ans: Y - X + Z
9. Sam earns $12 per hour and Peter earns $10 per hour. Approximately how much less, as a percentage, does Peter earn than Sam per hour?
Ans: 17 %
10. The original price of a furniture was $50.00. Because the manager of the furniture store thought he could get more money for the furniture, he increased the price of the furniture to 108% of its original price. After a week, the furniture had not sold, so the manager then discounted the price by 10%, and the furniture was finally sold. At what price was the furniture sold? (Values have been changed and sentences re-framed )
Ans: $48.60
**Short method to solve : Since 108% of $50 = (1.08)(50) = $54, the furniture was offered for sale at $54.00. It was sold for 90% of $54 since there was a 10% discount. Therefore, the furniture was sold for (.9)($54) or $48.60. Several questions appear of this type.
11. In 2007, Ramond had a collection of 48 stamps. Since then he has given away 13 stamps, purchased 17 new stamps and traded 6 of his stamps to Peter for 8 of Peter's stamps. Since 2007, what has been the net percent increase in Ramond's collection?
Ans: 12.5 %
12. A pair of fair six-sided dice are rolled. The probability that the sum of the numbers, on the faces up is 12 is what percent greater than the probability that the sum of the faces up is 2?
Ans: 0 %
13. 7 1/5 inches is what fraction of a yard? (1 yd = 36 inches)
Ans: 1/5
14. If A - (B/3) = 1/3 and A + (B/4) = 3/2, find A + B. ( The question was something like this )
Ans: 3
15. A classroom has a ratio of girls to boys of 4 to 3. If the class has a total of 35 students, how many more girls are there than boys?
Ans: 5
16. A cloak was purchased on sale for $140. If it was marked down 30%, what was the original price?

Ans: $470.00
18. If a**b = ab - b + b², then 3**5 =
Ans: 35 ( Very common question type, you would have observed this in tyhe previous months' databases too )

GRE UPDATE - OCTOBER 2007 VERBAL
Hi guys and girls,
I'm really sorry for having delayed a lot in producing the GRE VERBAL material for October 2007. I have been getting several requests through mail, scraps as well as my C-Box on my blog to update the VERBAL AND QUANT questions for October 2007. Frankly speaking, I do not update my database till the first week of any month. But, this time, due to repeated and earnest requests, on a collaborative effort with my friend Swaminathan, I have intensified my search to provide a complete solution for GRE preparation, which has resulted in this database that contains GRE Verbal questions that have appeared on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of OCTOBER 2007.

I sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused due to the delay, and I hope you will understand that it is only a consequence of my arduous efforts to produce authentic and reliable material.

GRE UPDATE- september 2007 verbal update
Hi fellow students,
I have completed my database for the GRE Verbal section of September 2007 with the addition of the following questions. They contain antonyms and a few analogy questions. I get repeated requests from several students through mail and scraps on orkut asking me to provide the other choices for all antonym and analogy questions. You must understand that I am trying my best to furnish all the possible choices I can confirm from the information I get from my contacts. And, I dont think it is surprising to find that many of them dont remember the other choices, except a few that too for only a minimum no. of questions that tried to confuse them woth choices that were closer in meanings or deceptilvely misleading. I am doing my best to decipher the right answers and the other choices as well. Keep looking for updates.
Antonyms :
1) INVIDIOUS :
Ans: inoffensive (defensive and candid were other choices)
2) MACERATE :
Ans: assess by observing (confuse by lying was one other choice)
3) SKEPTICISM :
Ans: without doubt (circumspection and without cover were two other options)
4) PALTRY :
Ans: excessive
5) MANUMIT :
Ans: enslave (emancipate and exonerate were other options, exonerate is pretty close, but it does not mean free from bondage, but free from indictment)
6) GENUFLECT :
Ans: stand erect (prostrate and pronounce correctly were other choices)
7) INNOCUOUS :
Ans : toxic (This is pretty simple, I think anybody can handle any kind of alternatives this word appears with !!)
8) PERSPICACIOUS :
Ans: inane ( diligent, lacking value and devoted were other options)
ANALOGIES :
1) GROW : BURGEON
Ans: beat : palpitate
2) HOAX : DECEIVE
Ans: filibuster : delay (Filibuster is a tactic for delaying or obstructing legislation by making long speeches)
3) MUFFLE : SOUND
Ans: assauge : grief ( I agree the bridge is not exactly the same, but then the other choices were either absurd or had bridges that were way too weak)
4) FOOTBALL : GRIDIRON
Ans: baseball : diamond (court : tennis was one of the choices. That is wrong because it reverses the bridge. This is a pretty confusing one. A diamond is what the field on which baseball is played is actually called )
5) IMPECUNIOUS : HOVEL
Ans: affluent : mansion ( a hovel is small crude shelter used as a dwelling )
6) TERMAGANT : SHREW
Ans: virago : harpy ( this question simply tests the depth of your vocabulary. All the four words mean the same 'shrew' a bad tempered obstinate woman )
7) APOSTATE : RELIGION
Ans: traitor : country (loyal : faith , ingrate : friendship were other choices, an apostate is a person who is not faithful to his religion, the bridge goes perfect with traitor and country )
Keep looking for updates.

GRE UPDATE - September 2007 Quants (updated)
Hi people,
Here is the second half of the database I amassed after intensive conflation from several sources on the net and also from numerous students who appeared for the GRE on and before 20th Sept 2007. I have tried to provide answers for as many questions as possible. And due to repeated requests for more Quants questions for the month of September 2007. Henceforth, I have expedited matters a little, trying to present as many questions as possible, yet managing to not compromise on quality. I thank all the people who have been instrumental in producing this GRE preparation material. Hope you benefit from this pool of information. Keep looking for updates.

Not many who have appeared for the GRE were able to recollect the quantities in the two columns. And even if they do, it takes me time to verify them .So kindly put up with the delay. And please remember, do atleast give a cursory reading through the previous month's (August 2007) Quants and Verbal questions Collection. It is important to go through the questions that appeared two months prior to your exam date.

Sincerely,
Praveen Chandar.
Here is the second half of the database I amassed after intensive conflation from several sources on the net and also from numerous students who appeared for the GRE on and before 20th Sept 2007. I have tried to provide answers for as many questions as possible. And due to repeated requests for more Quants questions for the month of September 2007. Henceforth, I have expedited matters a little, trying to present as many questions as possible, yet managing to not compromise on quality. I thank all the people who have been instrumental in producing this GRE preparation material. Hope you benefit from this pool of information. Keep looking for updates.
