what will be the percentage increase in the area of the cube ' s surface if each of the cube ' s edges grows by 60 % ?
"the question is very easy . my logic is the following : a surface = 6 * a ^ 2 after 60 % increase a surface = 6 * ( ( 1.6 a ) ^ 2 ) = 6 * 2.56 * a ^ 2 the increase in the surface area = ( 6 * 2.56 * a ^ 2 - 6 * a ^ 2 ) / 6 * a ^ 2 = ( 6 * a ^ 2 ( 2.56 - 1 ) ) / ( 6 * a ^ 2 ) = 2.56 - 1 = 1.56 = 156 % answer : c"

the workforce of company x is 60 % female . the company hired 20 additional male workers , and as a result , the percent of female workers dropped to 55 % . how many employees did the company have after hiring the additional male workers ?
let ' s xx be total quantity of employees 0.6 x = females before adding men 0.55 ( x + 20 ) = females after adding men as quantity of women does n ' t change we can make an equation : 0.6 x = 0.55 ( x + 20 ) 0.05 x = 11 x = 220 - this is quantity of employees before adding 2020 men so after adding it will be 240 answer is c

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 t minutes it takes john to reach the station ?
since the question states β€œ 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 , t = 6 ( 5 / 4 ) = 15 / 2 minutes . the correct answer is c .

the average ( arithmetic mean ) of the 5 positive integers k , m , r , s , and t is 12 , and k < m < r < s < t . if t is 20 , what is the greatest possible value of the median of the 5 integers ?
"we need to find the median which is the third value when the numbers are in increasing order . since k < m < r < s < t , the median would be r . the average of the positive integers is 12 which means that in effect , all numbers are equal to 12 . if the largest number is 20 , it is 8 more than 12 . we need r to be maximum so k and m should be as small as possible to get the average of 12 . since all the numbers are positive integers , k and m can not be less than 1 and 2 respectively . 1 is 11 less than 12 and 2 is 10 less than 12 which means k and m combined are 21 less than the average . 20 is already 8 more than 12 and hence we only have 21 - 8 = 13 extra to distribute between r and s . since s must be greater than r , r can be 12 + 6 = 18 and s can be 12 + 7 = 19 . so r is 18 . answer ( d )"

a movie buff owns movies on dvd and on blu - ray in a ratio of 7 : 2 . if she buys 5 more blu - ray movies , that ratio would change to 13 : 4 . if she owns movies on no other medium , what was the original number of movies in her library before the extra purchase ?
if u can just keep an eye on the options 99 is the only multiple of 9 in options given . . so you can mark it wid in seconds . now coming to the process m ( d ) = 7 x and b ( d ) = 2 x now from the next line the new eqn becomes 7 x / ( 2 x + 6 ) = 13 / 4 solving it 28 x = 26 x + 78 x = 39 which means m ( d ) = 273 and b ( d ) = 78 so total initially is m ( d ) + b ( d ) = 351 e

a wooden cube whose edge length is 6 inches is composed of smaller cubes with edge lengths of one inch . the outside surface of the large cube is painted red and then it is split up into its smaller cubes . if one cube is randomly selected from the small cubes , what is the probability that the cube will have at least one red face ?
there are a total of 6 * 6 * 6 = 216 cubes . all the exterior cubes will have at least one face painted red . the interior is formed by 4 * 4 * 4 = 64 cubes . the number of cubes with at least one side painted red is 216 - 64 = 152 cubes the probability that a cube has at least one side painted red is 152 / 216 which is about 70.4 % the answer is e .

ages of two persons differ by 18 years . if 6 year ago , the elder one be 3 times as old the younger one , find their present age
"explanation : let the age of younger person is x , then elder person age is ( x + 18 ) = > 3 ( x - 6 ) = ( x + 18 - 6 ) [ 6 years before ] = > 3 x - 18 = x + 12 = > x = 15 . so other person age is x + 18 = 33 answer : option b"
