peter invests a sum of money and gets back an amount of $ 815 in 3 years . david invests an equal amount of money and gets an amount of $ 870 in 4 years . if both amounts were invested at the same rate ( simple interest ) what was the sum of money invested ?
"since both peter and david invested the same amount of money at the same rate , they would earn same interest per year . david invested for one year more than peter and hence he got interest amount for one more year . interest earned per year = amount received by david - amount received by peter = 870 - 815 = 55 interest earned for 3 years = 55 * 3 = 165 amount invested = 815 - 165 = 650 answer : b"

"the measures of the adjacent angles of a parallelogram add up to be 180 ° given so , 5 x + 13 x = 180 ° or , 18 x = 180 ° or , x = 10 ° hence the angles of the parallelogram are 50 ° and 130 ° further it is given we know sum of all the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360 ° so , 5 y + 6 y + 7 y + 12 y = 360 ° or , 5 y + 6 y + 7 y + 12 y = 360 ° or , 30 y = 360 ° or , y = 12 ° hence the angles of the quadrilateral are 60 ° , 72 , 84 ° and 144 ° will be 50 ° + 84 ° = 134 ° answer : b"

the “ connection ” between any two positive integers a and b is the ratio of the smallest common multiple of a and b to the product of a and b . for instance , the smallest common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24 , and the product of 8 and 12 is 96 , so the connection between 8 and 12 is 24 / 96 = 1 / 4 the positive integer y is less than 20 and the connection between y and 6 is equal to 1 / 1 . how many possible values of y are there ?
since “ connection ” between y and 6 is 1 / 1 then lcm ( 6 , y ) = 6 y , which means that 6 and y are co - prime ( they do not share any common factor but 1 ) , because if the had any common factor but 1 then lcm ( 6 , y ) would be less than 6 y . so , we should check how many integers less than 20 are co - prime with 6 , which can be rephrased as how many integers less than 20 are not divisible by 2 or 3 ( 6 = 2 * 3 ) . there are ( 18 - 2 ) / 2 + 1 = 9 multiples of 2 in the range from 0 to 20 , not inclusive ; there are ( 18 - 3 ) / 3 + 1 = 6 multiples of 3 in the range from 0 to 20 , not inclusive ; there are 3 multiples of 6 in the range from 0 to 20 , not inclusive ( 6 , 12 , 18 ) - overlap of the above two sets ; total multiples of 2 or 6 in the range from 0 to 20 , not inclusive is 9 + 6 - 3 = 12 ; total integers in the range from 0 to 20 , not inclusive is 19 ; hence , there are total of 19 - 12 = 7 numbers which have no common factor with 6 other than 1 : 1 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 and 19 . answer : a .

in the standard formulation of a flavored drink the ratio by volume of flavoring to corn syrup to water is 1 : 12 : 30 . in the sport formulation , the ratio of flavoring to corn syrup is three times as great as in the standard formulation , and the ratio of flavoring to water is half that of the standard formulation . if a large bottle of the sport formulation contains 7 ounces of corn syrup , how many ounces of water does it contain ?
"f : c : w 1 : 12 : 30 sport version : f : c 3 : 12 f : w 1 : 60 or 3 : 180 so c : f : w = 12 : 3 : 180 c / w = 12 / 180 = 3 ounces / x ounces x = 7 * 180 / 12 = 105 ounces of water e"

how many even number in the range between 10 to 140 inclusive are not divisible by 3
we have to find the number of terms that are divisible by 2 but not by 6 ( as the question asks for the even numbers only which are not divisible by 3 ) for 2 , 10 , 12,14 . . . 140 using ap formula , we can say 140 = 10 + ( n - 1 ) * 2 or n = 66 . for 6 , 12,18 , . . . 138 using ap formula , we can say 138 = 12 + ( n - 1 ) * 6 or n = 22 . hence , only divisible by 2 but not 3 = 66 - 22 = 44 . hence , answer e

a cricketer scored 142 runs which included 12 boundaries and 2 sixes . what percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets .
"explanation : number of runs made by running = 142 - ( 12 x 4 + 2 x 6 ) = 142 - ( 60 ) = 82 now , we need to calculate 82 is what percent of 142 . = > 82 / 142 * 100 = 57.75 % answer : a"
