a = 10 / 100 b = 65 * a c = 65 - b d = c - 57 e = 10 / 100 f = 65 * e g = 65 - f h = d / g i = h * 100

the supplementary of an angle is thrice its complimentary . find the angle .
let angle = x ; by question - - 180 - x = 3 ( 90 - x ) x = 45 answer : b
a = 100 - 10 b = 3 * a c = 100 - 10 d = c * 2 e = b - d f = e / 2
a ) 1 , b ) 2 , c ) 3 , d ) 4 , e ) 5

divide(log(multiply(9, 9)), log(const_10))
9 log 9 ( 2 ) = ?
exponential and log functions are inverse of each other . hence aloga ( x ) = x , for all x real and positive . and therefore 9 log 9 ( 2 ) = 2 correct answer b
a = 9 * 9 b = math.log(a) c = math.log(10) d = b / c
a ) 1 : 3 , b ) 1 : 4 , c ) 1 : 5 , d ) 1 : 6 , e ) 1 : 7

there are 2 vessels a & b containing 25 liters each of pure milk and pure water respectively . 5 liters of milk from a is taken and poured into b , then 6 liters of mixture from b is taken and poured in a . what is ratio of water a and b respectively .
at first a cotain milk = 25 water = 0 b cotain milk = 00 water = 25 5 litres of milk taken from a and poured in b then a cotain milk = 20 water = 0 b cotain milk = 5 water = 25 6 litres ( 1 lit milk & 5 lit water ) of mixture from b and poured in a . so , finally a cotain milk = 21 water = 5 b cotain milk = 4 water = 20 ratio of water in a & b is 5 : 20 = 1 : 4 answer : b
a = 25 + 5 b = 5 / a c = b * 6 d = 25 - 5 e = d / 5 f = c / e

multiply(divide(10, add(5, 10)), 150)
tim and é lan are 150 miles away from one another . they are starting to move towards each other simultaneously , tim at a speed of 10 mph and é lan at a speed of 5 mph . if every hour they double their speeds , what is the distance that tim will pass until he meets é lan ?
"tim and elan will meet at the same time while their ratio of speed is 2 : 1 respectively . so their individual distance traveled ratio will be same . plugging in the answer choice only answer choice e meet the 2 : 1 ( tim : elan = 100 : 50 ) ratio of maintaining total distance traveled 150 miles socorrect answer e"
a = 5 + 10 b = 10 / a c = b * 150
