when 242 is divided by a certain divisor the remainder obtained is 8 . when 698 is divided by the same divisor the remainder obtained is 9 . when the sum of the two numbers 242 and 698 is divided by the divisor , the remainder obtained is 4 . what is the value of the divisor ?
"explanatory answer when 242 is divided by a certain divisor the remainder obtained is 8 . let the divisor be d . when 242 is divided by d , let the quotient be ' x ' . the remainder is 8 . therefore , 242 = xd + 8 when 698 is divided by the same divisor the remainder obtained is 9 . let y be the quotient when 698 is divided by d . then , 698 = yd + 9 . when the sum of the two numbers , 242 and 698 , is divided by the divisor , the remainder obtained is 4 . 242 + 698 = 940 = xd + yd + 8 + 9 940 = xd + yd + 17 as xd and yd are divisible by d , the remainder when 940 is divided by d should have been 17 . however , because we know that the remainder is 4 , it would be possible only when 17 / d leaves a remainder of 4 . if the remainder obtained is 4 when 17 is divided by ' d ' , then ' d ' has to be 13 . choice c"

the circumferences of two circles are 268 meters and 380 meters . find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles .
"let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be s m and l m respectively . 2 ∏ s = 268 and 2 ∏ l = 380 s = 268 / 2 ∏ and l = 380 / 2 ∏ difference between the areas = ∏ l 2 - ∏ s 2 = ∏ { 1902 / ∏ 2 - 1342 / ∏ 2 } = 1902 / ∏ - 1342 / ∏ = ( 190 - 134 ) ( 190 + 134 ) / ∏ = ( 56 ) ( 324 ) / ( 22 / 7 ) = ( 18144 ) / ( 22 ) ( 7 ) = 5773.09 sq m . answer : e"

if teena is driving at 55 miles per hour and is currently 7.5 miles behind roe , who is driving at 40 miles per hour in the same direction then in how many minutes will teena be 15 miles ahead of roe ?
"this type of questions should be solved without any complex calculations as these questions become imperative in gaining that extra 30 - 40 seconds for a difficult one . teena covers 55 miles in 60 mins . roe covers 40 miles in 60 mins so teena gains 15 miles every 60 mins teena need to cover 7.5 + 15 miles . teena can cover 7.5 miles in 30 mins teena will cover 15 miles in 60 mins so answer 30 + 60 = 90 mins . d"

the expression x # y denotes the product of the consecutive multiples of 3 between x and y , inclusive . what is the sum of the exponents in the prime factorization of 21 # 36 ?
first , let ' s translate the expression 21 # 36 , using the definition given : 21 # 36 = 21 × 24 × 27 × 30 × 33 × 36 we need the prime factorization of this product . let ' s factor out 3 from each multiple . 21 # 36 = 3 ^ 6 ( 7 × 8 × 9 × 10 × 11 × 12 ) now let ' s replace each consecutive integer with its prime factorization : 21 # 36 = 3 ^ 6 ( 7 × 2 ^ 3 × 3 ^ 2 × ( 2 × 5 ) × 11 × ( 2 ^ 2 × 3 ) ) let ' s group the prime bases : 21 # 36 = 2 ^ 6 × 3 ^ 9 × 5 × 7 × 11 the sum of the exponents is 6 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 18 the answer is c .
