4 brothers adam , bill , charles and david together contributed certain amount of money and purchased a car . the contribution made by adam is half that of the total contribution made by the other 3 brothers , contribution made by bill is one - fourth of the total contribution made by the other 3 brothers and the contribution made by charles is two - third of the total contribution made by the other 3 brothers . if the total price of the car is $ 9750 , find the contribution made by david .
given that a : ( b + c + d ) = 1 : 2 . hence a contributed 1 / 3 rd of the total price . given b : ( a + c + d ) = 1 : 4 hence b contributed 1 / 5 th of the total price . given c : ( a + b + d ) = 2 : 3 hence c contributed 2 / 5 th of the total price . thus the contribution made by a , b and c = 1 / 3 + 1 / 5 + 2 / 5 = 14 / 15 so , the remaining 1 / 15 th of the price is contributed by david . hence david ' s contribution = 1 / 15 Γ— 9750 = $ 650 . the answer is d .

p and q are the only two applicants qualified for a short - term research project that pays 360 dollars in total . candidate p has more experience and , if hired , would be paid 50 percent more per hour than candidate q would be paid . candidate q , if hired , would require 10 hours more than candidate p to do the job . candidate p ’ s hourly wage is how many dollars greater than candidate q ’ s hourly wage ?

one robot builds a robot in 1 hour , another one builds a robot in 2 hours . the 2 robots work together and when a new robot is complete , it joins the others , working at a constant rate of one robot in 2 hours . how much time will it take until there are 6 robots altogether , if the robots build only one robot at a time ?
"first the 2 robots work at the rate of 1 + 1 / 2 = 3 / 2 so they complete one robot in 2 / 3 rd of an hour = 40 minutes - ( 1 ) now the 3 robots work together at the rate of 1 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 4 / 2 = 2 / 1 so they complete one robot in 1 / 2 an hour , i . e 30 minutes - ( 2 ) now the 4 robots work together at the rate of 1 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 5 / 2 so they complete one robot in 2 / 5 th of an hour , i . e . 24 minutes - ( 3 ) now the 4 robots work together at the rate of 1 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 3 so they complete one robot in 1 / 3 th of an hour , i . e . 20 minutes - ( 4 ) and now we have 5 robots so total = ( 1 ) + ( 2 ) + ( 3 ) + ( 4 ) = 114 minutes answer - d"

john had a stock of 1200 books in his bookshop . he sold 75 on monday , 50 on tuesday , 64 on wednesday , 78 on thursday and 135 on friday . what percentage of the books were not sold ?
let n be the total number of books sold . hence n = 75 + 50 + 64 + 78 + 135 = 402 let m be the books not sold m = 1200 - n = 1200 - 402 = 798 percentage books not sold / total number of books = 798 / 1200 = 0.665 = 66.5 % correct answer c
a = 75 + 50 b = 64 + 78 c = a + b d = c + 135 e = 1200 - d f = e / 1200 g = f * 100

if @ is a binary operation defined as the difference between an integer n and the product of n and 5 , then what is the largest positive integer n such that the outcome of the binary operation of n is less than 16 ?
"@ ( n ) = 5 n - n we need to find the largest positive integer such that 5 n - n < 16 . then 4 n < 16 and n < 4 . the largest possible integer is n = 3 . the answer is c ."

a mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4 : 3 . if 7 litres of water is added to the mixture , the ratio becomes 4 : 5 . find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture
"let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4 x litres and 3 x litres respectively 4 x / ( 3 x + 7 ) = 4 / 5 20 x = 4 ( 3 x + 7 ) 8 x = 28 x = 3.5 quantity of alcohol = ( 4 x 3.5 ) litres = 14 litres . answer is b ."
