a train traveling at 42 kms / hr passes a cyclist going in the same direction in 9 secs . if the cyclist had been going in the opposite direction , the train would have passed him in 5 secs . find the length of the train .
let the length of the train be x meter and the speed of the cyclist is y m / s now when the train and the cyclist are in the same direction , the relative speed is : ( 35 / 3 - y ) m / s [ converting 42 km / h to m / s - 35 / 3 m / s ] now distance / relative speed = 9 seconds substituting the values , we get x + 9 y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

a small pool filled only with water will require an additional 300 gallons of water in order to be filled to 75 % 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 75 % capacity of tank . so 100 % capacity would be = 1300 * 100 / 75 = 1733.33 c is the answer

what is the volume of an tetrahedron with edge length of 1 ?
the answer is sqr ( 2 ) / 12 = 0.11785113 the following can be derived using the pythagorean theorem : the height of a face is 3.5 / 2 . the area of any face is 3.5 / 4 . the distance from any corner to the center of a joining face is 1 / 3.5 . the height of the tetrahedron is ( 2 / 3 ) . 5 the area is 1 / 3 * base * height = ( 1 / 3 ) * 3.5 / 4 * ( 2 / 3 ) . 5 = 21 / 2 / 12 . the above cube has sides of length 1 / sqr ( 2 ) . the area formed by the diagonals along four of the faces as shown in the diagram is a tetrahedrom . left over are four pyramids . the base of each pyramid is half of the side of the cube and the height is the height of the cube . thus the area of each pyramid is : 1 / 2 * ( 1 / sqr ( 2 ) ) 2 * 1 / sqr ( 2 ) * 1 / 3 = ( 12 * sqr ( 2 ) ) - 1 the total area of the cube is ( 1 / sqr ( 2 ) ) 3 = ( 2 * sqr ( 2 ) ) - 1 the area of the tetrahedrom is thus ( 2 * sqr ( 2 ) ) - 1 - 4 * ( 12 * sqr ( 2 ) ) - 1 = 3 / ( 6 * sqr ( 2 ) ) - 2 / ( 6 * sqr ( 2 ) ) = 1 / ( 6 * sqr ( 2 ) ) = sqr ( 2 ) / 12 correct answer c
