if money is invested at r percent interest , compounded annually , the amount of the investment will double in approximately 54 / r years . if joe ' s parents invested $ 5,000 in a long - term bond that pays 6 percent interest , compounded annually , what will be the approximate total amount of the investment 18 years later , when joe is ready for college ?
"since investment doubles in 54 / r years , then for r = 6 it ' ll double in 54 / 6 = ~ 9 years ( we are not asked about the exact amount so such an approximation will do ) . thus after 18 years investment will become $ 5,000 * 2 = $ 10,000 . answer : d ."

the weights of one liter vegetable ghee packet of two brands β€˜ a ’ and β€˜ b ’ are 900 gm and 750 gm respectively . if they are mixed in the ratio of 3 : 2 by volumes to form a mixture of 4 liters , what is the weight ( in kg ) of the mixture ?
here ' s how i did it . my notes from reading the problem were : 1 l a = 900 gm 1 l b = 850 gm we are mixing five parts ( 3 parts a plus 2 parts b , 5 parts total ) to get 4 l , so 5 x = 4 - - - > x = 4 / 5 . eachpartis 4 / 5 of a liter . so if we have 3 parts a , we have 900 * 3 * ( 4 / 5 ) = 2160 if we have 2 parts b , we have 750 * 2 * ( 4 / 5 ) = 1200 2160 + 1200 = 3360 solving for units gives us 3.36 so the answer is c

the famous denali star train starts from anchorge & travels towards fair banksat speed 50 mph . after some time another train glacier discovery train ( at parallel track ) at fair banks and moves towards anchorge at a speed of 70 mph . both the trains denali star & glacier discovery have a length 1 / 6 miles each . after the trains meet how many seconds will faster train take to overtake the slower one ?
total distance = ( 1 / 6 ) + ( 1 / 6 ) = 1 / 3 miles relative speed = ( 50 + 70 ) mph = 120 mph time taken = ( 1 / 3 ) / ( 120 ) hours = 10 seconds answer : a
