i agree with your solution = 20 . but the question is : there are different combination to get 60000 chips . for example : 1 * s 3 + 2 * s 4 + 2 * s 2 . in this way , we ship 60000 chips with only 6 + 4 * 2 + 2 * 2 = 18 defective chips , better than the average of 20 . the question is to find the expected number q of defective chips , i guess it assume the minimum # , therefore it might not be 20 .

a line has a slope of 3 / 4 and intersects the point t ( - 12 , - 39 ) . at which point 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 t of intersection is ( 40,0 ) . a is the correct answer ."

two drivers began their journey with the same amount of petrol in their cars at the same time . the only difference is that the first driver οΏ½ s car could drive 4 hours in that amount of petrol and the second one could drive 5 hours . however , they only drove for some time and found that the amount of petrol that was left in one of the cars was 4 times the petrol left in the other one . for how long had they driven at this point of time ?
a 3.75 hours while you can solve it as you like , a simple mathematical equation can be used to find out . let m be the amount of petrol initially . let n be the time for which they drove . according to the question , the amount of petrol used by first car in n hours = mn / 4 the amount of petrol used by second car in n hours = mn / 5 hence , the amount of petrol left in the first car = ( m - mn / 4 ) the amount of petrol left in the second car = ( m - mn / 5 ) as per the details given in the question , we can form the below equation : m - mn / 5 = 4 ( m - mn / 4 ) n = 15 / 4 or 3.75 hours . hence , both the drivers have driven the car for 3.75 hours at that particular time .

divide(subtract(8, 5), subtract(10, 8))
gold is 10 times as heavy as water and copper is 5 times as heavy as water . in what ratio should these be mixed to get an alloy 8 times as heavy as water ?
"g = 10 w c = 5 w let 1 gm of gold mixed with x gm of copper to get 1 + x gm of the alloy 1 gm gold + x gm copper = x + 1 gm of alloy 10 w + 5 wx = x + 1 * 8 w 10 + 5 x = 8 ( x + 1 ) x = 2 / 3 ratio of gold with copper = 1 : 2 / 3 = 3 : 2 answer is a"
a = 8 - 5 b = 10 - 8 c = a / b
