the question can be done in seconds if you understand the properties of factors of a number . note that every distinct factor of a number which is not a perfect square has a complementary factor . for example , factors of 6 : 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 1 has a complementary factor 6 such that 1 * 6 = 6 ( the original number ) 2 has a complementary factor 3 such that 2 * 3 = 6 ( the original number ) so if you have a number , n , which is not a perfect square , and start multiplying its factors , you will get n to a certain power . the power will half of the number of factors . for example , 6 has 4 factors and when you multiply all 4 factors , you get 6 ^ 2 ( 2 is half of 4 ) . so if you know that the product of all factors is x ^ 3 , it means there must have been twice the number of factors i . e . 3 * 2 = 6 factors . e )

the profits of qrs company rose 10 % from march to april , then dropped 20 % from april to may , then rose 50 % from may to june . what was the percent increase for the whole quarter , from march to june ?
"we need multipliers . multiplier for a 10 % increases = 1 + 0.10 = 1.1 multiplier for a 20 % decreases = 1 – 0.20 = 0.8 multiplier for a 50 % increases = 1 + 0.50 = 1.5 now , multiply these . first , multiply ( 0.8 ) and ( 1.5 ) , using the doubling & halving trick . half of 0.80 is 0.40 , and twice 1.5 is 3 ( 0.8 ) * ( 1.5 ) = ( 0.4 ) * ( 3 ) = 1.2 now , multiply this by 1.1 1.2 * 1.1 = 1.32 thus , the three percent changes combined produce a 32 % increase . answer = ( b ) ."

what will be the cost of building a fence around a circular plot with area equal to 289 sq ft , if the price per foot of building the fence is rs . 58 ?
let the side of the circular plot be a ft . pi * ( r ) ^ 2 = 289 = > r = 9.59 length of the fence = perimeter of the plot = 2 * pi * r = 60.26 ft . cost of building the fence = 60.26 * 58 = rs . 3495.28 answer : b

twenty eight meters of wire is available to fence off a flower bed in the form of a circular sector . what must the radius of the circle in meters be , if we wish to have a flower bed with the greatest possible surface area ?
area of sector , a = x / 360 * pi * r ^ 2 circumference of the sector = 28 = > x / 360 * 2 * pi * r + 2 r = 28 = > 2 a / r + 2 r = 28 = > a = r 14 - r ^ 2 = r 14 - r ^ 2 we will now max using derivations max value of a will found at a = 0 i . e 14 - 2 r = 0 r = 7 d
