GMAT questions on Graphs and Tables

1. The table gives information about the annual car show that a certain antique car club held in an open field on
the second Saturday in May each of the years 2000 through 2013. Each car show started at 9:00 in the morning
(09:00) and ended at 3:00 in the afternoon (15:00). The club charged a fixed fee for registering a car in the
show—one fee per car. Cars could be preregistered prior to the day of the show or registered on-site on the day
of the show. Although the fee for preregistering a car was less than the fee for registering a car on-site, some
people chose not to preregister their cars because preregistration fees were not refundable and they knew they
would not attend the show if rain was forecasted.

For the first n car shows, where n is a positive integer less than 10, the fees were $10 for preregistering a car and
$12 for registering a car on-site. For the remaining car shows, the fees for preregistering a car and for registering
a car on-site were more than $10 and $12, respectively.

The flowchart represents a computer algorithm that takes two positive integers as the input and is intended to
return two integers as the output. Each process is symbolized by an equation, such as a = a – 1. In this
particular process, 1 is subtracted from the current value of the variable a, and the difference then becomes
the value of a. For example, if the value of a is 5 before the process a = a – 1 is completed, then the value of a
will be 4 after the process is completed. Algorithms that are incorrectly formed may sometimes get stuck in an
infinite loop. An infinite loop is a sequence of instructions that never terminates.

Complete the following statements by making selections from the drop-down menus in accordance with
the algorithm represented by the flowchart.

1. If 58 and 11 are entered as the values for a and b, respectively, then one of the outputs of the function will
be Select: D = 0 , D = 4 , D = 55 , R = 3 , R = 4.

2. The algorithm will get stuck in an infinite loop, Select: if a > b , if a = b , if a < b , never.

In a two-player game, the players move their pieces on a board that is marked off in squares, 5 squares wide
and 5 squares deep. The five rows are labeled 1 to 5, and the five columns are labeled A to E. Each square is
identified by its row number and column letter (for example, 3C). At the beginning of the game, one player's
piece is placed on any of the four corner squares of the board, and the other player's piece is placed in the
opposite corner. Players then take turns moving their pieces one square at a time, either horizontally, vertically,
or diagonally. The game ends when a player wins by placing his or her piece on the square opposite its starting
position. Players may not move their pieces so that they occupy a square adjacent to the opponent's piece,
either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Abe and Bea are playing the game, and Abe made the first move by
placing his piece on 2B.

Select the square to which Bea should move her piece to most restrict Abe's choices for where to move
his piece on his next turn. Also, assuming that later during the same game, Abe's piece is on 3E and Bea's
piece is on 4C, select the square to which Bea should move her piece to ensure that each player has at
least three more moves before the game is over. Make only two selections, one in each column.

As of January, 2012, eight single-malt whisky distilleries were operating on the island of Islay, off the coast of
Scotland. Some have been in continuous operation since they were officially founded; others have experienced
significant interruptions. Each distillery's annual capacity, in thousands of liters, is listed, together with the
number of stills of each type (wash, spirit, and Lomond) in operation. The typical product of Islay distilleries can
be roughly classified as peated or unpeated. The peating level can be quantified in parts per million (ppm) of
phenol absorbed from peat smoke during the drying of barley malt, an ingredient of the whisky.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement can be shown to be true using the
information provided. Otherwise, select No.

Yes No

The 4 breweries that have been in continuous operation the longest have a higher average
(arithmetic mean) annual capacity than the other breweries.

more than 35 ppm.

As of 2012, the distillery with the greatest ratio of years since founding to years of continuous
operation to the present is Bruichladdich.
