the “ a - number ” of a number x is defined as the ones digit of 2 ^ x . antony rolls a die with 6 sides labeled with the integers from 1 to 6 , each of which has an equal probability of landing face - up . he then takes 3 ^ a , where a is the a - number of the result of his die roll , and plots 3 ^ a on a number line as the point a . finally , he repeats this entire process , this time plotting the result as the point b . what is the probability that the distance between a and b is greater than the value of b ?
if you calculate 3 ^ a for 1 st roll , all 6 results will be 9 , 81 , 6561 , 729 , 9 , 81 . this result is the same for 2 nd roll . 9 , 81 , 6561 , 729 , 9 , 81 . about distance : if the first result is 9 and the second is also 9 , the distance is 9 - 9 = 0 which is smaller than 9 . if the first result is 9 and the second is 81 , the distance is 81 - 9 = 72 which is also smaller than b which has the value of 81 . if the first result is 81 and the second is 9 , the distance will be greater than b . distance 81 - 9 = 72 > 9 . on the first roll , the probability of getting result 9 is 2 / 6 . in this case no other alternative values for second roll which would make the distance greater than b . so probability is 0 . so next estimations are : probability of getting 81 on the first roll ( 2 / 6 ) * probability of getting 9 on the second roll ( 2 / 6 ) = 1 / 9 probability of getting 729 on the first roll ( 1 / 6 ) * probability of getting 9 , 81 on the second roll ( 4 / 6 ) = 1 / 9 probability of getting 6561 on the first roll ( 1 / 6 ) * probability of getting 9 , 81 , 729 on the first roll ( 5 / 6 ) = 5 / 36 all together : 1 / 9 + 1 / 9 + 5 / 36 = 13 / 36 = b

"explanation : solution : let c . p . of each chocolate be re . 1 . then , c . p . of 50 chocolates = rs . 50 ; s . p . of 50 chocolates = rs . 65 . . ' . gain % = 15 * 100 / 50 = 30 % answer : d"

the price of commodity x increases by 30 cents every year , while the price of commodity y increases by 20 cents every year . if in 2001 , the price of commodity x was $ 4.20 and the price of commodity y was $ 4.40 , in which year will commodity x cost 90 cents more than the commodity y ?
the cost of commodity x increases by 10 cents per year relative to commodity y . the price of x must gain 20 + 90 = $ 1.10 cents on commodity y , which will take 11 years . the answer is c .

shawn invested one half of his savings in a bond that paid simple interest for 2 years and received $ 650 as interest . he invested the remaining in a bond that paid compound interest , interest being compounded annually , for the same 2 years at the same rate of interest and received $ 725 as interest . what was the value of his total savings before investing in these two bonds ?
so , we know that shawn received 20 % of the amount he invested in a year . we also know that in one year shawn received $ 325 , thus 0.2 x = $ 325 - - > x = $ 1625 since , he invested equal sums in his 2 bonds , then his total savings before investing was 2 * $ 1,625 = $ 3,250 answer d
