a , b and c run around a circular track starting from the same point simultaneously and in the same direction at speeds of 4 kmph , 6 kmph and 8 kmph respectively . if the length of the track is 400 meters , when will a , b and c meet at the starting point for the first time after they started the race ?
4 kmph , 6 kmph and 8 kmph is equal to 4000 / 60 mtrs / min , 6000 / 60 mtrs / min and 8000 / 60 mtrs / min or 200 / 3 , 100 , 400 / 3 mtrs / min respectively . seeing this we can infer that the answer should be at least divisible by 3 . ( minutes in options are integers . so if the answer is not divisible by 3 , we will have 200 / 3 * answer = distance traveled by a in fractions whereas 100 * answer = distance traveled by a as integer ) so , a , b and d are out . at 12 min a , b and c will travel 800 , 1200 and 1600 mtrs respectively . length of the circle is given as 400 mtrs . as 800 , 1200 and 1600 are divisible by 400 , we can say that a , b and c will be at starting point after 12 min . hence , c will be the answer .

mr . kramer , the losing candidate in a two - candidate election , received 942568 votes , which was exactly 30 percent of all votes cast . approximately what percent of the remaining votes would he need to have received in order to have won at least 50 percent of all the votes cast ?
let me try a simpler one . lets assume that candidate got 30 % votes and total votes is 100 . candidate won = 30 remaining = 70 to get 50 % , candidate requires 20 votes from 100 which is 20 % and 20 votes from 70 . 20 / 70 = 2 / 7 = . 285 = 28.5 % which is approx 29 % . hence the answer is d .

a = 15 * 10 b = 15 * 3 c = a - b d = c / 100 e = 144 / d
a ) 30 , b ) 45 , c ) 60 , d ) 90 , e ) 120
d
multiply(12, inverse(subtract(const_1, add(divide(1, 5), divide(2, 3)))))
in traveling from a dormitory to a certain city , a student went 1 / 5 of the way by foot , 2 / 3 of the way by bus , and the remaining 12 kilometers by car . what is the distance , in kilometers , from the dormitory to the city ?
whole trip = distance by foot + distance by bus + distance by car x = 1 / 5 x + 2 / 3 x + 12 x - 13 / 15 x = 12 2 / 15 x = 12 = > so x = ( 15 / 2 ) * 12 = 90 km answer d
a = 1 / 5 b = 2 / 3 c = a + b d = 1 - c e = 1/(d) f = 12 * e
