a certain list consists of 21 different numbers . if n is in the list and n is 2 times the average ( arithmetic mean ) of the other 20 numbers in the list , then n is what fraction of the sum of the 21 numbers in the list ?
"series : a 1 , a 2 . . . . a 20 , n sum of a 1 + a 2 + . . . + a 20 = 20 * x ( x = average ) so , n = 2 * x hence , a 1 + a 2 + . . + a 20 + n = 22 x so , the fraction asked = 2 x / 22 x = 1 / 11 answer c"

mary works in a restaurant a maximum of 60 hours . for the first 20 hours , she is paid $ 8 per hour . for each overtime hour , she is paid at a rate which is 25 % higher than her regular rate . how much mary can earn in a week ?
mary receives $ 8 ( 20 ) = $ 160 for the first 20 hours . for the 40 overtime hours , she receives $ 8 ( 0.25 ) + $ 8 = $ 10 per hour , that is $ 10 ( 40 ) = $ 400 . the total amount is $ 160 + $ 400 = $ 560 answer c 560 .

how many seconds will a 600 m long train take to cross a man walking with a speed of 4 km / hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 64 km / hr ?
"speed of train relative to man = 64 - 4 = 60 km / hr . = 60 * 5 / 18 = 50 / 3 m / sec . time taken to pass the man = 600 * 3 / 50 = 36 sec . answer : b"

two interconnected , circular gears travel at the same circumferential rate . if gear a has a diameter of 40 centimeters and gear b has a diameter of 50 centimeters , what is the ratio of the number of revolutions that gear a makes per minute to the number of revolutions that gear b makes per minute ?
"same circumferential rate means that a point on both the gears would take same time to come back to the same position again . hence in other words , time taken by the point to cover the circumference of gear a = time take by point to cover the circumference of gear b time a = 2 * pi * 25 / speed a time b = 2 * pi * 20...
