julie put half of her savings in a savings account that pays an annual simple interest and half in a savings account that pays an annual compound interest . after two years she earned $ 128 and $ 140 from the simple interest account and the compound interest account respectively . if the interest rates for both accounts were the same , what was the amount of julie ' s initial savings ?
"$ 128 for 2 years = $ 64 per year . extra $ 12 yearned with the compound interest is the percent yearned on percent . so , $ 12 is yearned on $ 64 , which means that the interest = 5 % . this on the other hand means that half of the savings = 64 * 5 = $ 320 . twice of that = $ 640 . answer : a ."

in the county of veenapaniville , there are a total of 50 high schools , of 3 kinds : 25 public schools , 16 parochial schools , and 9 private independent schools . these 50 schools are divided between 3 districts : a , b , and c . district a has 18 high schools total . district b has 17 high schools total , and only two of those are private independent schools . if district c has an equal number of each of the 3 kinds of schools , how many private independent schools are there in district a ?
β€œ in the county of veenapaniville , there are a total of 50 high schools , of three kinds : 25 public schools , 16 parochial schools , and 9 private independent schools . ” β€œ district a has 18 high schools total . ” β€œ district b has 17 high schools total , and only two of those are private independent schools . ” β€œ district c has an equal number of each of the three kinds of schools . ” hmm . that ’ s not a simple number . let ’ s put that on hold for a moment . so far , from the matrix it looks like we could figure out the missing number in the β€œ totals ” row . that number must be 15 , because 18 + 17 + 15 = 50 . now , go back to that last fact : β€œ district c has an equal number of each of the three kinds of schools . ” now that makes sense . district c has 15 schools , so it must have 5 of each kind : the question is asking : β€œ how many private independent schools are there in district a ? ” well , now that ’ s just a matter of adding across the β€œ private independent ” row . we know 2 + 2 + 5 = 9 , so the missing number must be 2 . there ’ s still a good deal of information we can ’ t figure out from the information given in the question , but we are able to answer the specific question asked here . there are 2 private independent schools in district a , so the answer = ( a ) .

a train traveling at 100 kmph overtakes a motorbike traveling at 64 kmph in 12 seconds . what is the length of the train in meters ?
"train overtakes a bike means that we are talking about total length of the train . ( train ' s head is close to bike when it started and its tail crosses the bike when it overtakes the bike ) relative speed = 100 - 64 = 36 km / h = 36000 m / h time = 12 seconds distance = speed * time 36000 * 12 / 3600 = 120 meters . b is the answer ."
