john borrowed 3 soccer boots from jake , and forgot them on the field , if peter came across a total of 15 boots on the field jake ' s boots inclusive , and he took 4 boots at random , what is the probability that jake ' s boots were not amongst the 4 taken ? .
since jake owns 3 of the boots , the subset from which the 4 boots should be chosen are the 12 boots not owned by jake from the universe of 15 . the first boot can be one of the 12 from the 15 with probability 12 / 15 . the second boot can be one of the 11 from the 14 remaining with probability 11 / 14 . the third boot can be one of the 10 from the 13 remaining with probability 10 / 13 . the fourth boot can be one of the 9 from the 12 remaining with probability 9 / 12 . the total probability will be 12 / 15 Γ— 11 / 14 Γ— 10 / 13 Γ— 9 / 12 . on cancellation , this comes to 33 / 91 . thus , the answer is d - 33 / 91

"their difference is 4 second but this difference is 0 if john allows sam to start the race from 24 m ahead . that means jhon was 24 m away from finishing line when they started together . so he will cover 24 m in 4 seconds . so his speed = 24 / 4 = 6 metre / second . so time taken = 100 / 4 = 25 seconds . so sam took = 19 seconds . correct answer = c"

the contents of a certain box consist of 14 apples and 20 oranges . how many oranges must be removed from the box so that 70 percent of the pieces of fruit in the box will be apples ?
the objective here is that 70 % of the fruit in the box should be apples . now , there are 14 apples at start and there is no talk of removing any apples , so number of apples should remain 14 and they should constitute 70 % of total fruit , so total fruit = 14 / 0.7 = 20 so we should have 20 - 14 = 6 oranges . right now , there are 20 oranges , so to get to 6 oranges , we should remove 20 - 6 = 14 oranges . answer c

to keep the amount exact when dividing for 3 , we have to work backwards through division . dividing 3500 by 3 will give us 1166.66 then by subtracting . 66 , we get 1166 , and we multiply it by 3 to get 3498 . to get enough for the down payment , we add 3 to 3498 . dividing the result by 3 gives us our answer . correct option : d

"let f = pure fuji , g = pure gala and c - cross pollinated . c = 10 % of x where x is total trees . c = . 1 x also 3 x / 4 = f and c + f = 238 = > . 1 x + 3 / 4 x = 238 = > x = 280 280 - 238 = pure gala = 42 . answer d"

add(multiply(divide(12, 48), const_100), 25)
the purchase price of an article is $ 48 . in order to include 25 % of cost for overhead and to provide $ 12 of net profit , the markup should be
cost price of article = 48 $ % of overhead cost = 25 net profit = 12 $ we need to calculate % markup net profit as % of cost price = ( 12 / 48 ) * 100 = 25 % total markup should be = 25 + 25 = 50 % answer a
a = 12 / 48 b = a * 100 c = b + 25

multiply(divide(90, const_3_6), 15)
a car is running at a speed of 90 kmph . what distance will it cover in 15 second ?
"explanation : given : speed = 108 kmph = ( 90 x ( 5 / 18 ) ) m / sec = 25 m / sec distance covered in 15 second = ( 25 x 15 ) m = 375 m . answer : c"

subtract(9, reminder(51234, 9))
what should be the least number to be added to the 51234 number to make it divisible by 9 ?
"the least number to be added to the numbers to make them divisible by 9 is equal to the difference of the least multiple of 9 greater than the sum of the digits and sum of the digits . sum of digits = 15 . nearest multiple of 9 greater than sum of digits = 18 . hence 3 has to be added . answer : c"
