how many numbers between 100 and 714 are divisible by 2 , 3 , and 7 together ?
"explanation : as the division is by 2 , 3 , 7 together , the numbers are to be divisible by : 2 * 3 * 7 = 42 the limits are 100 and 714 the first number divisible is 42 * 3 = 126 to find out the last number divisible by 42 within 714 : 714 / 42 = 17 hence , 42 * 14 = 714 is the last number divisible by 42 within 714 hence , total numbers divisible by 2 , 3 , 7 together are ( 17 â € “ 2 ) = 15 answer : d"

a ' s speed is 15 / 13 times that of b . if a and b run a race , what part of the length of the race should a give b as a head start , so that b beats a by 25 % of the length of the race ?
first calculate the distance , b has covered with his speed in the time , in which a reached 80 % of the race . then add the remaining distance as head start for b to win the race . its best to apply ratios concept here . since a ' s speed is 15 / 13 of b , therefore , b ' s speed is 13 / 15 of a distance covered by b = speed x time = ( 13 / 15 ) x ( 0.75 ) = 0.65 % ( which means b would have covered 0.65 of the race length during the time in which a has covered 0.75 of the race length . therefore to win , b needs a headstart of ( 1 - 0.65 = ) 0.35 of the race length . so the answer is a

the average price of 20 products is $ 1,200 means that the total price of 20 products is 20 * 1,200 = $ 24,000 . next , since exactly 10 of the products sell for less than $ 1,000 , then let ' s make these 10 items to be at $ 400 each ( min possible ) . now , the remaining 9 items can not be priced less than $ 1,000 , thus the minimum possible price of each of these 9 items is $ 1,000 . thus the minimum possible value of 19 products is 10 * 400 + 9 * 1,000 = $ 13,000 . therefore , the greatest possible selling price of the most expensive product is $ 24,000 - $ 13,000 = $ 11,000 . answer : b .

a train of 24 carriages , each of 60 meters length , when an engine also of 60 meters length is running at a speed of 60 kmph . in what time will the train cross a bridge 4.5 km long ?
"d = 25 * 60 + 4500 = 6000 m t = 6000 / 60 * 18 / 5 = 360 sec = 6 mins answer : d"

the only items of clothing at michelle ’ s boutique are 4 shirts , 8 pairs of pants and 18 ties . what is the probability of randomly selecting 2 ties out of all the items in michelle ’ s boutique ?
we have 4 shirts , 8 pairs of pants and 18 ties . i . e 30 items total ways of picking two items out of all = 30 c 2 = 435 total ways of picking two items out of all ties = 18 c 2 = 153 required probability = 153 / 435 = 51 / 145 answer : option a
a = math.comb(18, 2) b = 4 + 8 c = b + 18 d = math.comb(c, 2) e = a / d
