Hello, here I am providing you the questions for the practice test of GRE exam as under:

Question:
In a new study that compares Fortune 100 executives in 1980 with their counterparts in 2001, Peter Capelli and Monika Hamori have documented what business people have no doubt already witnessed: The road to the executive suite and the characteristics of the executives who get there have changed significantly over the last two decades. To summarize: Todays executives are younger, more likely to be female, and less likely to have Ivy League educations. They make their way to the executive suite faster than ever before (about four years faster than their counterparts in 1980) and they hold fewer jobs along the way. They spend about five years less in their current organization before being promoted and are more likely to be hired from the outside. What’s more, the Organization Man, the lifelong corporate employee who worked his way faithfully and slowly up the executive ladder, appears to be headed out the door increasingly nudged, apparently, by women. From the 1950s through the 1970s, American executives looked a lot alike, write Capelli and Hamori. They tended to be model organization men, who stuck faithfully with the companies that first hired them and they climbed methodically up the corporate ladder until, at last, they retired. The dominant notion during that time was that a business career ran its course inside a corporation.

Choose the correct answer

Question:
Which of the following cannot be attributed as a characteristic of the Organization Men as brought out in the passage?

They joined and retired from the same company
They were of the firm opinion that their entire career was confined to one company
They were mostly women
Their promotions were slower as compared to contemporary executives

Correct Answer: C

Question:
Area of a right triangle is 504 sq.cm. The length of the hypotenuse is 65 cm.

Column A Column B
Sum of the sides containing the right angle. Length of the hypotenuse.
Quantity A is greater
Quantity B is greater
The quantities are equal
The relationship cannot be determined from the information given
Correct Answer: A

The diagonal of a square is 15√(6) cm. How many isosceles right triangles of side 1 cm can be cut out from the square?
[√(6) = √ 6]

Correct Answer: 1350

Explanation:

Question:
When 'a' is the side of a square then its diagonal is a√(2).
Hence, if the diagonal of the square is 15√(6), then its side will be given by
Side = 15√(6)/√(2) = 15√(2)√(3)/√(2)
= 15√(3)
Area of square = sideside
= 15√(3)15√(3)
= 675 sq.cm.
675 squares of side 1 cm can be cut from the bigger square.
Each square of side 1 cm can be cut into two isosceles right triangles of side 1 cm.
Hence, the square can be divided into 6752 = 1350 isosceles right triangles of side 1 cm

Question:
What least number should be subtracted from 2590 so that the remainder when divided by 9, 11 and 13 will leave in each case the same remainder 6?
Which of the following statements is true? Indicate the corrrect option.

2
3
6
10
14
Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The remainder will be divisible by the LCM of 9, 11 and 13
LCM = 1287
12872=2574
2574+6=2580
2590-2580=10
Hence, the required number is 10
