if i were to choose during the test , would go for 18 or 20 . probably 18 cuz it wont take too long to get the value doubled . . . . i found a method : rule of 72 . given an x % return , it takes 5,000 to quadralope 12 years . so according to the rule : 72 / x is the no of years 5 , 000.00 took to double 10 , 000.00 . again , 10 , 000.00 took to double 20 , 000.00 same ( 72 / x ) no of years . 72 / x + 72 / x = 12 x = 12 % ( though rate here is not very much required ) . again , 20 , 000.00 takes the same ( 72 / x ) no of years to double 30 , 000.00 . 72 / x = 6 years . so altogather : 5,000 - 10,000 = 6 years 10,000 - 20,000 = 6 years 20,000 - 30,000 = 3 years answer a 15 years .

two trains , one from howrah to patna and the other from patna to howrah , start simultaneously . after they meet , the trains reach their destinations after 16 hours and 81 hours respectively . the ratio of their speeds is ?
"let us name the trains a and b . then , ( a ' s speed ) : ( b ' s speed ) = √ b : √ a = √ 81 : √ 16 = 9 : 4 answer : b"
a = math.sqrt(81) b = math.sqrt(16) c = a / b
a ) 27 , b ) 36 , c ) 45 , d ) 54 , e ) 63
c
multiply(divide(7, subtract(9, 7)), 10)
sandy is younger than molly by 10 years . if their ages are in the respective ratio of 7 : 9 , how old is molly ?
"s = m - 10 s / m = 7 / 9 9 s = 7 m 9 ( m - 10 ) = 7 m m = 45 the answer is c ."
a = 9 - 7 b = 7 / a c = b * 10
