a canoe has two oars , left and right . each oar either works or breaks . the failure or non - failure of each oar is independent of the failure or non - failure of the other . you can still row the canoe with one oar . the probability that the left oar works is 3 / 5 . the probability that the right oar works is also 3 / 5 . what is the probability w that you can still row the canoe ?
"simply look at the question from the other side . what is the probability that you can ’ t row the canoe ? this would be 2 / 5 x 2 / 5 = 4 / 25 . using the idea that the probability of something happening is 1 – the probability that it doesn ’ t happen , you can use the following equation to reach the right answer w : 1 – 4 / 25 = 21 / 25 . answer choice e ."

a person borrows rs . 5000 for 2 years at 5 % p . a . simple interest . he immediately lends it to another person at 61 ⁄ 4 % p . a for 2 years . find his gain in the transaction per year .
"explanation : the person borrows rs . 5000 for 2 years at 5 % p . a . simple interest simple interest that he needs to pay = prt / 100 = 5000 Γ— 5 Γ— 2 / 100 = 500 he also lends it at 6 1 ⁄ 4 % p . a for 2 years simple interest that he gets = prt / 100 = 5000 Γ— 25 / 4 Γ— 2 / 100 = 625 his overall gain in 2 years = rs . 625 - rs . 500 = rs . 125 his overall gain in 1 year = 125 / 2 = rs . 62.5 answer : option a"

divide(add(102, 138), 6)
a student chose a number , multiplied it by 6 , then subtracted 138 from the result and got 102 . what was the number he chose ?
"solution : let xx be the number he chose , then 6 β‹… x βˆ’ 138 = 102 6 x = 240 x = 40 answer a"
a = 102 + 138 b = a / 6

subtract(add(12, divide(12, 6)), divide(1, 6))
in a certain lottery , the probability that a number between 12 and 20 , inclusive , is drawn is 1 / 6 . if the probability that a number 12 or larger is drawn is 1 / 3 , what is the probability that a number less than or equal to 20 is drawn ?
"you can simply use sets concept in this question . the formula total = n ( a ) + n ( b ) - n ( a and b ) is applicable here too . set 1 : number 12 or larger set 2 : number 20 or smaller 1 = p ( set 1 ) + p ( set 2 ) - p ( set 1 and set 2 ) ( combined probability is 1 because every number will be either 12 or moreor 20 or lessor both ) 1 / 3 + p ( set 2 ) - 1 / 6 = 1 p ( set 2 ) = 5 / 6 answer ( e )"
a = 12 / 6 b = 12 + a c = 1 / 6 d = b - c
