given : the question tells us about the number of tickets sold in the first week at reduced price = 5400 . it also tells us that during the remaining weeks , the number of tickets sold at full price was 5 times the no . of tickets sold at reduced price . the total tickets sold was 25200 , and we are asked to find the number of tickets that where sold at full price . approach : the question asks us to find the number of ticket sold at full price . we know that the number of tickets sold at full price was 5 times the no . of tickets sold at reduced price in remaining weeks . hence , assuming tickets sold at reduced price in remaining weeks to be x would give us the no . of tickets sold at full price to be 5 x . tickets sold in first week + tickets sold in remaining weeks = total no . of tickets soldi . e . tickets sold in first week + tickets sold at full price in remaining weeks + tickets sold at reduced price in remaining weeks = total no . of tickets sold we know the no . of tickets sold during first week and the total no . of tickets sold . we will use this relation to get to our answer . working out : tickets sold in first week + tickets sold at full price in remaining weeks + tickets sold at reduced price in remaining weeks = total no . of tickets sold substituting values in the equation , we get 5400 + 5 x + x = 25200 x = 3300 tickets sold at full price = 5 x = 16500 answer : option c

how many times digit 6 is used while writing numbers from 100 to 1400 ?
"there are 100 numbers which begin with 600 next , in every 10 numbers such as 100 to 110 , 110 to 120 , 120 to 130 6 comes at least once . number of such intervals = end limit - first no . / interval . our range of numbers is 100 - 1000 1000 - 100 = 900 / 10 = 90 number of 10 s interval in this is 90 . so 90 ' 6 s ' so far we have calculated 190 . the total now comes to 280 . the nearest to which is 350 . hence b ."

a confectioner decides to sell all of his pastry due to the coming holiday . his pastry goods are equally divided among a group of 25 regular customers . if only 49 customers come to the bakery , each one will receive 6 less pastry goods . how much pastry does the confectioner needs to sell ?
"pastry is divided in 25 customers equally . so , total number of pastry must be a multiple of 25 only option a satisfies the condition , and hence is the answer"

there are 9 players in a chess group , and each player plays each of the others once . given that each game is played by two players , how many total games will be played ?
"9 players are there . two players play one game with one another . so 9 c 2 = 9 x 8 / 2 = 36 so option c is correct"
