tom and john traveled in the same direction along the equal route at their constant speed rates of 15 km per hour and 10 km per hour , respectively . after 15 minutes tom passed john , tom reaches a certain gas station , how many w minutes it takes john to reach the station ?
since the question states “ after 15 minutes ” , we can say tom traveled 15 / 4 km for 15 minutes as he can travel 15 km per hour . hence , using the same logic , we can say john traveled 10 / 4 km as he travels 10 km per hour . so , john has to travel ( 15 / 4 ) - ( 10 / 4 ) km = 5 / 4 km more . since john ’ s speed is 10 km / hour , which means 1 km / 6 minutes . as he has to travel 5 / 4 km more , it is going to take him 6 ( 5 / 4 ) minutes . hence , w = 6 ( 5 / 4 ) = 15 / 2 minutes . the correct answer is c .

answer e = 50 we have ( 10 ^ a ) - 74 , where the sum of the digits is 440 . 100 - 74 = 26 , so we already have 2 + 6 = 8 from the 440 . because we have a power of 10 , we will have numbers like 100 , 1000 , 10000 and so on . this minus 74 rests 26 and a lot of 9 s . e . g : 1000 - 74 = 9926 . so dividing the 432 / 9 = 48 , that ` s the number of 9 s . and we have 2 other numbers ( 2 and 6 ) wich were 00 before the subtraction . so we have 48 + 2 as an a = 50

"x * 125 / 100 * 75 / 100 = 18750 x * 0.9375 = 18750 x = 18750 / 0.9375 = > 20000 answer : e"

a small pool filled only with water will require an additional 300 gallons of water in order to be filled to 85 % of its capacity . if pumping in these additional 300 gallons of water will increase the amount of water in the pool by 30 % , what is the total capacity of the pool in gallons ?
"300 gallons of water increases capacity by 30 % that means 30 % is 300 gallons , so 100 % would be = 300 * 100 / 30 = 1000 gallons now 1000 + 300 gallons is 85 % capacity of tank . so 100 % capacity would be = 1300 * 100 / 85 = 1529.41 d is the answer"

if 85 % of 3 / 5 of a number is 36 , then the number is ?
"let the number be x . then 85 % of 3 / 5 of x = 36 85 / 100 * 3 / 5 * x = 36 x = ( 36 * 100 / 51 ) = 70.5 required number = 70.5 . correct option : c"

a jar contains a mixture of ab in the ratio 3 : 2 . when 10 l of mixture is replaced with liquid b , ratio becomes 2 : 3 . how many liters of liquid a was present in mixture initially .
"10 litres of mixture that is replaced will contain 6 litres of a and 4 litres of b ( as a : b = 3 : 2 ) let the initial volume of the mixture be 3 k + 2 k = 5 k so by condition , [ 3 k - 6 ] / [ 2 k - 4 + 10 ] = 2 / 3 9 k - 18 = 4 k - 8 + 20 5 k = 12 + 18 k = 6 solve for k which is k = 6 so initial volume of liquid a = 3 k = 18 litres answer : a"
