if in a cricket one day match , there were no wide balls , no wides , no extras and no overthrows . what is the maximum number of runs that a batsman can score in an ideal case scenario ?
b 1653 for an ideal case , the batsman will hit a six on each ball . but if he hits six on the last ball of the over , the strike will change in the next over . thus , the best he can do in the last ball is run 3 runs so that he retains the strike even in the next over . thus the total runs that he can score in each over : 6 * 5 + 3 = 33 but this will have to go like it only till the 49 th over . in the last over , he can hit a six in the last ball as well as that will be the last ball of the match . thus runs for the last over will be 6 * 6 = 36 . hence the maximum runs = 33 * 49 + 36 = 1653

a warehouse is labeling computer inventory with 5 - digit codes . each code is to consist of 4 digits between the numbers 0 and 9 . the manager is debating whether to allow any 5 - digit codes to have leading zero ' s before a non - zero number is used . if not allowed , then numbers like 0025 cannot be used . the manager wants to measure the magnitude of the number of 5 - digit code possibilities that are lost if he disallows the use of leading zero ' s . how many such codes would be lost ?
the number of codes possible if leading zero is allowed = 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 10 ^ 5 the number of codes possible if leading zero is not allowed = 9 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 9 * 10 ^ 4 the difference = 10 ^ 5 - 9 * 10 ^ 4 = 10 ^ 4 ( 10 - 9 ) = 10 ^ 4 . answer : d . similar questions to practice : hope it helps .

car z travels 45 miles per gallon of gasoline when driven at a constant rate of 45 miles per hour , but travels 20 percent fewer miles per gallon of gasoline when driven at a constant rate of 60 miles per hour . how many miles does car z travel on 10 gallons of gasoline when driven at a constant rate of 60 miles per hour ?
"the question stem asks us for the distance possible with 10 gallons of fuel at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour . we therefore first calculate the fuel efficiency at that speed . the stem tells us that at 45 miles / hour , the car will run 45 miles / gallon and at 60 miles / hour , that distance decreases by 20 % . we can therefore conclude that the car will travel 36 miles / gallon at a constant speed of 60 miles / gallon . with 10 gallons of fuel , the car can therefore travel 36 miles / gallon * 10 gallons = 360 miles . answer b ."

the total price of a basic computer and printer are $ 2,500 . if the same printer had been purchased with an enhanced computer whose price was $ 500 more than the price of the basic computer , then the price of the printer would have been 1 / 6 of that total . what was the price of the basic computer ?
let the price of basic computer be c and the price of the printer be p : c + p = $ 2,500 . the price of the enhanced computer will be c + 500 and total price for that computer and the printer will be 2,500 + 500 = $ 3,000 . now , we are told that the price of the printer is 1 / 6 of that new total price : p = 1 / 6 * $ 3,000 = $ 500 . plug this value in the first equation : c + 500 = $ 2,500 - - > c = $ 2000 answer : e .

last week john spent 30 percent of his wages on recreation . this week , his wages are 25 percent less than last week ΚΌ s wages and he spent 20 percent of his wages on recreation . the amount he spends on recreation this week is what percent of the amount he spent on recreation last week ?
say john ' s wages last week were $ 100 , so he spent 0.30 * 100 = $ 30 on recreation ; this week ' s wages is 0.75 * 100 = $ 75 , so he spends 0.2 * 75 = $ 15 on recreation ; 15 / 30 = 0.50 , hence the amount he spends on recreation this week is 50 % of the amount he spent on recreation last week : 30 * 0.5 = 15 answer : e

required number is divisible by 72 as well as by 112 , if it is divisible by their lcm , which is 1008 . now , 1008 when divided by 72 , gives quotient = 14 . therefore , required number = 14 . answer : c
a = math.gcd(72, 112) b = 112 / a
a ) 72 min , b ) 62 min , c ) 70 min , d ) 74 min , e ) 76 min

multiply(multiply(const_2, divide(multiply(3, const_60), add(subtract(200, 50), multiply(const_2, 50)))), 50)
if there are 200 questions in a 3 hr examination . among these questions are 50 type a problems , which requires twice as much as time be spent than the rest of the type b problems . how many minutes should be spent on type a problems ?
"x = time for type b prolems 2 x = time for type a problem total time = 3 hrs = 180 min 150 x + 50 * 2 x = 180 x = 180 / 250 x = 0.72 time taken for type a problem = 50 * 2 * 0.72 = 72 min answer : a"
a = 3 * const_60 b = 200 - 50 c = 2 * 50 d = b + c e = a / d f = 2 * e g = f * 50
