find the value of log y ( x 4 ) if logx ( y 3 ) = 2
logx ( y 3 ) = 2 : given x 2 = y 3 : rewrite in exponential form x 4 = y 6 : square both sides x 4 = y 6 : rewrite the above using the log base y logy ( x 4 ) = logy ( y 6 ) = 6 correct answer c

a line has a slope of 3 / 4 and intersects the point ( - 12 , - 39 ) . at which point e does this line intersect the x - axis ?
assume that the equation of the line is y = mx + c , where m and c are the slope and y - intercept . you are also given that the line crosses the point ( - 12 , - 39 ) , this means that this point will also lie on the line above . thus you get - 39 = m * ( - 12 ) + c , with m = 3 / 4 as the slope is given to be 3 / 4 . after substituting the above values , you get c = - 30 . thus the equation of the line is y = 0.75 * x - 30 and the point where it will intersect the x - axis will be with y coordinate = 0 . put y = 0 in the above equation of the line and you will get , x = 40 . thus , the point e of intersection is ( 400 ) . a is the correct answer .

"this type of questions should be solved without any complex calculations as these questions become imperative in gaining that extra 30 - 40 seconds for a difficult one . teena covers 55 miles in 60 mins . joe covers 40 miles in 60 mins so teena gains 15 miles every 60 mins teena need to cover 7.5 + 30 miles . teena can cover 7.5 miles in 30 mins teena will cover 30 miles in 120 mins so answer 30 + 120 = 150 mins .

sari and ken climb up a mountain . at night , they camp together . on the day they are supposed to reach the summit , sari wakes up at 06 : 00 and starts climbing at a constant pace . ken starts climbing only at 08 : 00 , when sari is already 800 meters ahead of him . nevertheless , ken climbs at a constant pace of 500 meters per hour , and reaches the summit before sari . if sari is 50 meters behind ken when he reaches the summit , at what time did ken reach the summit ?
both sari and ken climb in the same direction . speed of sari = 800 / 2 = 400 meters / hr ( since she covers 800 meters in 2 hrs ) speed of ken = 500 meters / hr at 8 : 00 , distance between ken and sari is 800 meters . ken needs to cover this and another 50 meters . time he will take = total distance to be covered / relative speed = ( 800 + 50 ) / ( 500 - 400 ) = 8.5 hrs starting from 8 : 00 , in 8.5 hrs , the time will be 16 : 30 answer ( a )

ram and shakil run a race of 2000 meters . first , ram gives shakil a start of 200 meters and beats him by one minute . if , ram gives shakil a start of 6 minutes ram is beaten by 1000 meters . find the time in minutes in which ram and shakil can run the races separately .
let x and y are the speeds of ram and shakil . . then by problem we got following equation 2000 / x = ( 1800 / y ) - 1 1000 / x = ( 2000 / y ) - 6 solve equation 1 and 2 , we get x = 250 and y = 200 therefore , time taken by ram and shakilk to complete a race of 2000 m is 8 min and 10 min answer : b

a certain fruit stand sold apples for $ 0.70 each and cherry for $ 0.50 each . if a customer purchased both apples and bananas from the stand for a total of $ 6.30 , what total number of apples and bananas did the customer purchase ?
some multiple of 7 + some multiple of 5 should yield 63 . to get to a some multiple of 5 , we should ensure that a 3 or 8 ( 5 + 3 ) should be a multiple of 7 . 63 is a direct multiple of 7 , however in this case there wo n ' t be any cherry . hence the next option is to look for a multiple of 7 that has 8 as the unit digit . 28 satisfies this hence no . of apples is 4 and no of bananas is 7 b
