there are two inlets and one outlet to a cistern . one of the inlets takes 2 hours to fill up the cistern and the other inlet takes twice as much time to fill up the same cistern . both of the inlets are turned on at 9 : 00 am with the cistern completely empty , and at 10 : 00 am , the outlet is turned on and it takes 1 more hour to fill the cistern completely . how much time does the outlet working alone takes to empty the cistern when the cistern is full ?
the combined inflow rate of the two inlets is 1 / 2 + 1 / 4 = 3 / 4 cistern / hour . thus , working together , it takes 4 / 3 hours ( time is reciprocal of rate ) to fill the cistern . from 9 : 00 am to 10 : 00 am , so in 1 hours , the inlet pipes will fill ( time ) * ( rate ) = 1 * 3 / 4 = 3 / 4 th of the cistern . then the outlet is turned on and the remaining 1 / 4 th of the cistern is filled in 1 hour . letting x to be the rate of the outlet , we would have : 3 / 4 - x = 1 / 4 - - > x = 1 / 2 cistern / hour , which means that it takes 2 hours the outlet working alone to empty the cistern . answer : a

the population of a bacteria culture doubles every 2 minutes . approximately how many minutes will it take for the population to grow from 1,000 to 50,000 bacteria
"the question basically asks how many minutes it takes for a population to increase by factor 50 ( 50,000 / 1,000 = 50 ) . now you know that every two minutes the population doubles , i . e . is multiplied by 2 . so the equation becomes : 2 ^ x > = 50 , where x represents the number of times the population doubles . a lot of people remember that 2 ^ 10 = 1,024 . hence , 2 ^ 6 = 64 , i . e . the population has to double 6 times . since it takes the population 2 minutes to double once it takes 6 * 2 minutes = 12 minutes to double nine times . thus , solution b = 12 is correct ."

in a graduating class of 232 students , 144 took geometry and 119 took biology . what is the difference between the greatest possible number p and the smallest possible number of students that could have taken both geometry and biology ?
"official solution : first of all , notice that since 144 took geometry and 119 took biology , then the number of students who took both geometry and biology can not be greater than 119 . { total } = { geometry } + { biology } - { both } + { neither } ; 232 = 144 + 119 - { both } + { neither } ; { both } = 31 + { neither } . { both } is minimized when { neither } is 0 . in this case { both } = 31 . the greatest possible number of students p that could have taken both geometry and biology , is 119 . thus , the answer is 119 - 31 = 88 . answer : d ."

a certain clock rings two notes at quarter past the hour , 4 notes at half past , and 6 notes at 3 - quarters past . on the hour , it rings 8 notes plus an additional number of notes equal to whatever hour it is . how many notes will the clock ring from 1 : 00 p . m . through 5 : 00 p . m . , including the rings at 1 : 00 and 5 : 00 ?
form 1 pm to 5 pm . excluding the actual hour chime we have 20 ( 1 pm ) + 20 ( 2 pm ) + 20 ( 3 pm ) + 20 ( 4 pm ) + 8 ( 5 pm ) = 88 now the hour chimes are 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15 total = 88 + 15 = 103 answer d .

jackie has two solutions that are 4 percent sulfuric acid and 12 percent sulfuric acid by volume , respectively . if these solutions are mixed in appropriate quantities to produce 60 liters of a solution that is 5 percent sulfuric acid , approximately how many liters of the 4 percent solution will be required ?
"let a = amount of 4 % acid and b = amount of 12 % acid . now , the equation translates to , 0.04 a + . 12 b = . 05 ( a + b ) but a + b = 60 therefore . 04 a + . 12 b = . 05 ( 60 ) = > 4 a + 12 b = 300 but b = 60 - a therefore 4 a + 12 ( 60 - a ) = 300 = > 16 a = 420 hence a = 26.25 . answer : e"
