ratio of 2 bedroom apartment : 1 bedroom apartment = 700 : 2100 - - - - - > 1 : 3 let total number of apartments be x no . of 2 bedroom apartment = ( 1 / 4 ) * x percentage of apartments in the building are two - bedroom apartments - - - - > ( 1 / 4 ) * 100 - - - > 25 % answer : a

the pilot of a small aircraft with a 40 - gallon fuel tank wants to fly to cleveland , which is 480 miles away . the pilot recognizes that the current engine , which can fly only 8 miles per gallon , will not get him there . by how many miles per gallon must the aircraft ’ s fuel efficiency be improved to make the flight to cleveland possible ?
"actual miles / gallon is = 480 / 4 = 12 miles / gallon . current engine miles / gallon is 8 miles / gallon . additional 4 miles / gallon is required to match the actual mileage . answer : b"

a square is drawn inside a right - angled triangle with the two perpendicular sides as 12 cm and 8 cm . what is the side of the largest possible square that can be drawn ?
area of triangle is 1 / 2 * 12 * 8 = 48 side of square = x the entire triangle split into two right angled triangle and one square with dimensions as follows i ) square with side x ii ) right angled triangle with perpendicular sides x and 12 - x iii ) right angled triangle with perpendicular sides 8 - x and x sum of area of all three = 48 = x 2 + 1 / 2 * x * ( 12 - x ) + 1 / 2 * x * ( 8 - x ) = 48 = x = 4.8 cm answer : a
