what is the greatest of 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 18 ?
"the sum of three consecutive integers can be written as n + ( n + 1 ) + ( n + 2 ) = 3 n + 3 if the sum is 24 , we need to solve the equation 3 n + 3 = 18 ; = > 3 n = 15 ; = > n = 5 the greatest of the three numbers is therefore 5 + 2 = 7 answer : b"

a man spends rs . 1700 per month on an average for the first 3 months , rs 1550 for next 4 months and rs . 1800 per month for the last 5 months and saves rs . 5200 a year . what is his average monthly income ?
explanation : total expenditure for the first 3 months = 3 ã — 1700 = 5100 total expenditure for 4 months = 4 ã — 1550 = 6200 total expenditure for 5 months = 5 ã — 1800 = 9000 total expenditure and saving ( which is income for one year ) = 5100 + 6200 + 9000 + 5200 = rs . 25500 so , average monthly income = 25500 / 12 = rs . 2125 answer b

if the price of a book is first decreased by 25 % and then increased by 20 % , then the net change in the price will be :
"explanation : let the original price be rs . 100 . new final price = 120 % of ( 75 % of rs . 100 ) = rs . ( 120 / 100 * 75 / 100 * 100 ) = rs . 90 . decrease = 10 % answer : a ) 10"

p runs 20 % faster than q so p gives q a 300 meter head start . if the race ends in a tie , how far ( in meters ) did p run in the race ?
"let d be the race distance that p ran . let t be the time it took to complete the race . let v be q ' s speed . t = d / 1.2 v = ( d - 300 ) / v d = 1.2 d - 360 0.2 d = 360 d = 1800 meters . the answer is d ."

if a certain number is divided by 11 , the quotient , dividend , and divisor , added together , will amount to 71 . what is the number ?
"let x = the number sought . then x / 11 + x + 11 = 71 and x = 55 . e"
a = 71 - 11 b = a * 11 c = 11 + 1 d = b / c
