a reduction of 10 % in the price of tea enables a dealer to purchase 25 kg more tea for rs . 22500 . what is the reduced price per kg of tea ?
solution : 1 st method : let the original price of tea be rs . x / kg . after reduction the price becomes = x - 10 % of x = 9 x / 10 per kg . now , ( 22500 / ( 9 x / 10 ) ) - 22500 / x = 25 or , 22500 [ 10 / 9 x - 1 / x ] = 25 or , 25 * 9 x = 22500 ; or , x = ( 22500 / 2589 ) = rs . 100 . hence , new price = 90 per kg . thought process method : let the original price be rs . 100 per kg , he get tea = 22500 / 100 = 225 kg . after reduction the price becomes = 90 per kg , he get tea = 22500 / 90 = 250 kg . so , reduction price is rs . 90 per kg as it enables him to buy 25 kg of more tea . answer : option c

a truck covers a distance of 550 metres in 1 minute whereas a train covers a distance of 33 kms in 45 minutes . what is the ratio of their speed ?
"explanation : speed of the truck = distance / time = 550 / 1 = 550 meters / minute speed of the train = distance / time = 33 / 45 km / minute = 33000 / 45 meters / minut speed of the truck / speed of the train = 550 / ( 33000 / 45 ) = ( 550 × 45 ) / 33000 = ( 55 × 45 ) / 3300 = ( 11 × 45 ) / 660 = ( 11 × 9 ) / 132 = 9 / 12 = 34 hence , speed of the truck : speed of the train = 3 : 4 answer : option d"

of the goose eggs laid at a certain pond , 2 / 3 hatched and 3 / 4 of the geese that hatched from those eggs survived the first month : 2 / 3 * 3 / 4 = 1 / 2 survived the first month . of the geese that survived the first month , 3 / 5 did not survive the first year : ( 1 - 3 / 5 ) * 1 / 2 = 1 / 5 survived the first year . 120 geese survived the first year : 1 / 5 * ( total ) = 125 - - > ( total ) = 625 . answer : d .

there are 24 students in a seventh grade class . they decided to plant birches and roses at the school ' s backyard . while each girl planted 3 roses , every three boys planted 1 birch . by the end of the day they planted 2424 plants . how many birches were planted ?
"let x be the number of roses . then the number of birches is 24 − x , and the number of boys is 3 × ( 24 − x ) . if each girl planted 3 roses , there are x 3 girls in the class . we know that there are 24 students in the class . therefore x 3 + 3 ( 24 − x ) = 24 x + 9 ( 24 − x ) = 3 ⋅ 24 x + 216 − 9 x = 72 216 − 72 = 8 x 1448 = x 1 x = 18 so , students planted 18 roses and 24 - x = 24 - 18 = 6 birches . correct answer is d ) 6"
