since 170 students answered yes only for subject m , then the remaining 330 students who answered yes for subject m , also answered yes for subject r . so , 330 students answered yes for both subjects . if 320 students answered yes for both subjects , then 400 - 330 = 70 students answered yes only for subject r . so , we have that : 200 students answered yes only for subject m ; 70 students answered yes only for subject r ; 300 students answered yes for both subjects ; therefore 800 - ( 200 + 70 + 300 ) = 230 students did not answer yes for either subject . answer : b .

jack and christina are standing 360 feet apart on a level surface . their dog , lindy , is standing next to christina . at the same time , they all begin moving toward each other . jack walks in a straight line toward christina at a constant speed of 5 feet per second and christina walks in a straight line toward jack at a constant speed of 7 feet per second . lindy runs at a constant speed of 12 feet per second from christina to jack , back to christina , back to jack , and so forth . what is the total distance , in feet , that lindy has traveled when the three meet at one place ?
"the relative speed of jack and christina is 5 + 7 = 12 feet per second . the distance between them is 210 feet , hence they will meet in ( time ) = ( distance ) / ( relative speed ) = 360 / 12 = 30 seconds . for all this time lindy was running back and forth , so it covered ( distance ) = ( speed ) * ( time ) = 12 * 30 = 360 feet . answer : d ."

in a school of 400 boys , 44 % of muslims , 28 % hindus , 10 % sikhs and the remaining of other communities . how many belonged to the other communities ?
"44 + 28 + 10 = 82 % 100 – 82 = 18 % 400 * 18 / 100 = 72 answer : c"
a = 44 + 28 b = a + 10 c = 100 - b d = 400 * c e = d / 100

a train 120 m in length crosses a telegraph post in 6 seconds . the speed of the train is ?
"s = 120 / 6 * 18 / 5 = 72 kmph answer : a"

two boats are heading towards each other at constant speeds of 3 miles / hr and 21 miles / hr respectively . they begin at a distance 20 miles from each other . how far are they ( in miles ) one minute before they collide ?
"the question asks : how far apart will they be 1 minute = 1 / 60 hours before they collide ? since the combined rate of the boats is 3 + 21 = 24 mph then 1 / 60 hours before they collide they ' ll be rate * time = distance - - > 24 * 1 / 60 = 3 / 15 miles apart . answer : e ."
a = 21 + 3 b = a / const_60
