two printing presses begin printing currency at the same time and at constant speeds . press f produces 5 - dollar bills at the rate of 1,000 bills per minute . press t produces 20 - dollar bills at the rate of 200 bills per minute . once the machines have begun printing , how many seconds does it take for press f to produce 50 dollars more currency than press t ?
press f produces $ 5 bills @ 1000 per minute ( 60 sec ) so $ 500 in 6 secs press t produces $ 20 bills 200 per minute ( 60 sec ) so $ 400 in 6 secs . . so we can see f produces $ 100 in 6 secs or will print $ 50 in 3 secs . . ans 3 secs . . b

in a garden , there are yellow and green flowers which are straight and curved . if the probability of picking a green flower is 3 / 4 and picking a straight flower is 1 / 2 , then what is the probability of picking a flower which is yellow and curved
good question . so we have a garden where all the flowers have two properties : color ( green or yellow ) and shape ( straight or curved ) . we ' re told that 3 / 4 of the garden is green , so , since all the flowers must be either green or yellow , we know that 1 / 4 are yellow . we ' re also told there is an equal probability of straight or curved , 1 / 2 . we want to find out the probability of something being yellow and straight , pr ( yellow and straight ) . so if we recall , the probability of two unique events occurring simultaneously is the product of the two probabilities , pr ( a and b ) = p ( a ) * p ( b ) . so we multiply the two probabilities , pr ( yellow ) * pr ( curved ) = 1 / 4 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 8 , or a .

the speed of a bus increases by 2 km after every one hour . if the distance travelling in the first one hour was 35 km . what was the total distance travelled in 12 hours ?
given that distance travelled in 1 st hour = 35 km and speed of the bus increases by 2 km after every one hour hence distance travelled in 2 nd hour = 37 km hence distance travelled in 3 rd hour = 39 km . . . total distance travelled = [ 35 + 37 + 39 + . . .

"correct answer : a explanation : the relevant formula for this problem is average s = ( sum ) / ( number of terms ) . another way to look at the formula is sum = average x number of terms . for the first purchase , the vendor ' s sum ( total cost ) was $ 140 , since 14 x 10 = 140 . for the second purchase , the vendor ' s cost was $ 165 , since 11 x 15 = 165 . the grand sum is then $ 140 + $ 165 , which equals $ 305 . the total number of shirts purchased was 25 , so to get the average price per shirt , we divide 305 by 25 , which equals $ 12.20 . as a result , the correct answer is a . note : a relative understanding of weighted average offers a shortcut to this problem . because the true average of 11 and 14 is 12.5 , but the vendor sells more shirts at the lower price than at the higher price , the weighted average must be less than $ 12.50 ; only answer choice a is a possibility ."

a monkey ascends a greased pole 22 meters high . he ascends 2 meters in the first minute and then slips down 1 meter in the alternate minute . if this pattern continues until he climbs the pole , in how many minutes would he reach at the top of the pole ?
"the money is climbing 1 meter in 2 min . this pattern will go on till he reaches 20 meters . i mean this will continue for first 20 * 2 = 40 mins . he would have reached 20 meters . after that he will climb 2 meters and he will reach the pole . so total time taken = 40 + 1 = 41 mins . so , asnwer will be b"

a can run 256 metre in 28 seconds and b in 32 seconds . by what distance a beat b ?
"clearly , a beats b by 4 seconds now find out how much b will run in these 4 seconds speed of b = distance / time taken by b = 256 / 32 = 8 m / s distance covered by b in 4 seconds = speed ã — time = 8 ã — 4 = 32 metre i . e . , a beat b by 32 metre answer is a"

two circular signs are to be painted . if the diameter of the larger sign is 7 times that of the smaller sign , how many times more paint is needed to paint the larger sign ? ( we can assume that a given amount of paint covers the same area on both signs . )
let r be the radius of the smaller sign . then the diameter of the smaller sign is 2 r , the diameter of the larger sign is 14 r , and the radius of the larger sign is 7 r . the area a of the smaller sign is a = pir ^ 2 . the area of the larger sign is pi ( 7 r ) ^ 2 = 49 pir ^ 2 = 49 a . since the area is 49 times larger , we need 49 times more paint for the larger sign . the answer is d .

when a merchant imported a certain item , he paid a 9 percent import tax on the portion of the total value of the item in excess of $ 1,000 . if the amount of the import tax that the merchant paid was $ 76.50 , what was the total value of the item ?
"let x be the value in excess of $ 1,000 . 0.09 x = 76.5 x = $ 850 the total value was $ 850 + $ 1,000 = $ 1,850 . the answer is d ."
