the visitors of a modern art museum who watched a certain picasso painting were asked to fill in a short questionnaire indicating whether they had enjoyed looking at the picture and whether they felt they had understood it . according to the results of the survey , all 130 visitors who did not enjoy the painting also did not feel they had understood the painting , and the number of visitors who enjoyed the painting was equal to the number of visitors who felt they had understood the painting . if 3 / 4 of the visitors who answered the questionnaire both enjoyed the painting and felt they had understood the painting , then how many visitors answered the questionnaire ?

when a certain perfect square is increased by 148 , the result is another perfect square . what is the value of the original perfect square ?
let ’ s call the two perfect squares x ^ 2 and y ^ 2 , respectively . then the given information translates as x ^ 2 + 148 = y ^ 2 . subtracting x ^ 2 gives 148 = y ^ 2 − x ^ 2 , a difference of squares . this , in turn , factors as ( y + x ) ( y − x ) = 148 . the next step is tricky . it begins with factoring 148 , which breaks down as 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 37 . since we ’ re dealing with perfect squares , x and y are positive integers , and ( y + x ) and ( y − x ) must be paired integer factors of 148 . the options are 148 ∗ 1,74 ∗ 2 , and 37 ∗ 4 . but our number properties establish that ( y + x ) and ( y − x ) must be either both odd or both even , so only 74 ∗ 2 is an actual possibility . and because for any positive integers ( y + x ) > ( y − x ) , we can conclude that y + x = 74 and y – x = 2 . solving by elimination , 2 y = 76 , y = 38 , and x = 36 . finally , we just need to square 36 . but rather than multiplying it out , note that 36 ^ 2 ends in 6 – as does only one answer , choice a . this answer must be the one we want .

3 models ( f , g , and h ) of cars are distributed among 3 showrooms . the number of cars in each showrooms must be equal and each model must be represented by at least one car in every showroom . there are 19 cars of model f , 17 cars of model g , and 15 cars of model h . what is the maximum number of cars of model f in any showroom ?
the total number of cars is 51 . so each showroom has 17 cars ( since the number of cars in each showrooms should be equal 51 / 3 = 17 ) . moreover that the number of model f is maximum means that the numbers of model g and h should be minimum . since each model must be represented by at least one car in every showroom that minimum number should be 1 . so maximum number of model f is 17 - 2 = 15 . the answer is ( c )
a = 19 + 17 b = a + 15 c = b / 3 d = 3 - 1 e = c - d

the timing of a college is from 12 p . m to 5.00 p . m . five lectures are held in the given duration and a break of 5 minutes after each lecture is given to the students . find the duration of each lecture .
"explanation : total time a student spends in college = 5 hours 00 minutes = 300 minutes as there are 5 lectures , the number of breaks between lectures is 4 . total time of the break = 20 minutes hence , the duration of each lecture is = ( 300 â € “ 20 ) / 5 = 56 minutes answer a"

if q = x ^ 4 + y ^ 4 = 100 , then the greatest possible value of x is between
my attempt : if q = x ^ 4 + y ^ 4 = 100 , then the greatest possible value of x would be when y is minimum . let y ^ 4 be 0 . now x ^ 4 = 100 . x should be definitely greater than 3 but less than 4 . the only option that fits this range is b hence answer is - - b ) 3 and 6 .

what is the units digit of 29 ! + 50 ! + 3 ! + 3 ! ?
"for all n greater than 4 , the units digit of n ! is 0 . the sum of the four units digits is 0 + 0 + 6 + 6 = 12 the units digit is 2 . the answer is b ."

a train 285 m long , running with a speed of 54 km / hr will pass a tree in
"sol . speed = ( 54 x 5 / 18 ) m / sec . = 15 m / sec . time taken = ( 285 x 1 / 15 ) sec = 19 sec answer a"
