on a partly cloudy day , derek decides to walk back from work . when it is sunny , he walks at a speed of s miles / hr ( s is an integer ) and when it gets cloudy , he increases his speed to ( s + 1 ) miles / hr . if his average speed for the entire distance is 2.8 miles / hr , what fraction e of the total distance did he cover while the sun was shining on him ?
if s is an integer and we know that the average speed is 2.8 , s must be = 2 . that meanss + 1 = 3 . this implies that the ratio of time for s = 2 is 1 / 4 of the total time . the formula for distance / rate is d = rt . . . so the distance travelled when s = 2 is 2 t . the distance travelled for s + 1 = 3 is 3 * 4 t or 12 t . therefore , total distance covered while the sun was shining over him is e = 2 / 14 = 1 / 7 . answer : e

x alone can do a piece of work in 15 days and y alone can do it in 10 days . x and y undertook to do it for rs . 720 . with the help of z they finished it in 5 days . how much is paid to z ?
solution : in one day x can finish 1 / 15 th of the work . in one day y can finish 1 / 10 th of the work . let us say that in one day z can finish 1 / zth of the work . when all the three work together in one day they can finish 1 / 15 + 1 / 10 + 1 / z = 1 / 5 th of the work . therefore , 1 / z = 1 / 30 . ratio of their efficiencies = 1 / 15 : 1 / 10 : 1 / 30 = 2 : 3 : 1 . therefore z receives 1 / 6 th of the total money . according to their efficiencies money is divided as 240 : 360 : 120 . hence , the share of z = rs . 120 . answer b

a train traveling at 100 kmph overtakes a motorbike traveling at 64 kmph in 85 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 = 85 seconds distance = speed * time 36000 * 85 / 3600 = 850 meters . d is the answer .
a = 100 - 64 b = a * const_0_2778 c = b * 85
a ) 17 , b ) 19 , c ) 20 , d ) 21 , e ) 22

add(subtract(subtract(const_1000, const_10), multiply(multiply(const_10, multiply(78, 78)), multiply(const_4, const_2))), const_10)
how many three digit numbers q are divisible by 78 or 91 ?
"the answer will be 19 . explanation : 78 = 2 * 3 * 13 now multiples of 78 , 156 . . . . 780 , now 1000 - 780 = 220 only two more muktiples of 78 can exists . so total number of 3 digit multiples of 78 are 9 + 2 = 11 91 = 13 * 7 - - total number of three digit multiples - - 9 no remember we have a common multiples as well - - 13 * 7 * 6 = 91 * 6 = 546 so total number of multiples q - - 11 + 9 - 1 = 19 . hence answer is 19 . b"
a = 1000 - 10 b = 78 * 78 c = 10 * b d = 4 * 2 e = c * d f = a - e g = f + 10

add(divide(subtract(multiply(floor(divide(9, 2)), 2), multiply(add(floor(divide(2, 2)), const_1), 2)), 2), const_1)
how many numbers from 2 to 9 are exactly divisible by 2 ?
"2 / 2 = 1 and 9 / 2 = 4 4 - 1 = 3 3 + 1 = 4 numbers . answer : d"
a = 9 / 2 b = math.floor(a) c = b * 2 d = 2 / 2 e = math.floor(d) f = e + 1 g = f * 2 h = c - g i = h / 2 j = i + 1
