you need to integers which squared are equal 40 . which could it be ? let ' s start with the first integer : 1 ^ 2 = 1 2 ^ 2 = 4 3 ^ 2 = 9 4 ^ 2 = 16 5 ^ 2 = 25 6 ^ 2 = 36 7 ^ 2 = 49 8 ^ 2 = 64 9 ^ 2 = 81 10 ^ 2 = 100 11 ^ 2 = 121 stop . the integers ca n ' t be greater than 6 or we will score above 137 . the second integer need to be picked up the same way . 1 ^ 2 = 1 2 ^ 2 = 4 3 ^ 2 = 9 4 ^ 2 = 16 5 ^ 2 = 25 6 ^ 2 = 36 7 ^ 2 = 49 8 ^ 2 = 64 9 ^ 2 = 81 10 ^ 2 = 100 11 ^ 2 = 121 the only pair that matches is 11 ^ 2 + 4 ^ 2 = 137 . so 11 ^ 3 + 4 ^ 3 = 1395 . answer e . )

the events a and b are independent , the probability that event a occurs is greater than 0 , and the probability that event a occurs is twice the probability that event b occurs . the probability that at least one of events a and b occurs is 18 times the probability that both events a and b occur . what is the probability that event a occurs ?
"let us say probability of a occuring is a . let us say probability of b occuring is b . a = 2 b probability ( either a or b or both ) = 8 times probability ( a and b ) a * ( 1 - b ) + b * ( 1 - a ) + ab = 18 * ab substituting a = 2 b in the second equation : 2 b * ( 1 - b ) + b * ( 1 - 2 b ) + 2 b * b = 18 * 2 b * b 3 b - 2 b ^ 2 = 36 b ^ 2 3 b = 38 b ^ 2 b = 3 / 38 so , a = 2 b = 6 / 38 = 3 / 19 the correct answer is e ."

a student got twice as many sums wrong as he got right . if he attempted 24 sums in all , how many did he solve correctly ?
explanation : suppose the boy got x sums right and 2 x sums wrong . then , x + 2 x = 24 3 x = 24 x = 8 . answer : c

a 300 m long train crosses a platform in 42 sec while it crosses a signal pole in 18 sec . what is the length of the platform ?

a fashion designer sold a pair of jeans to a retail store for 40 percent more than it cost to manufacture the pair of jeans . a customer bought the pair of jeans for 10 percent more than the retailer paid for them . the price the customer paid was what percent greater than the cost of manufacturing the jeans ?

the time it took car p to travel 900 miles was 2 hours less than the time it took car r to travel the same distance . if car p ’ s average speed was 10 miles per hour greater than that of car r , what was car r ’ s average speed , in miles per hour ?
"let speed of car r be = x then speed of car p = x + 10 a / q , ( 900 / x ) - ( 900 / ( x + 10 ) ) = 2 solving for x = 62 miles \ hr . c"
