a searchlight on top of the watch - tower makes 2 revolutions per minute . what is the probability that a man appearing near the tower will stay in the dark for at least 5 seconds ?

a vendor buys 10 t - shirts at an average price of $ 14 per t - shirt . he then buys 15 more t - shirts at an average price of $ 11 per t - shirt . what is the average price b per t - shirt that the vendor paid for these purchases ?
correct answer : a explanation : the relevant formula for this problem is average b = ( sum ) / ( number of terms ) . another way to look at the formula is sum = average x number of terms . for the first purchase , the vendor ' s sum ( total cost ) was $ 140 , since 14 x 10 = 140 . for the second purchase , the vendor ' s cost was $ 165 , since 11 x 15 = 165 . the grand sum is then $ 140 + $ 165 , which equals $ 305 . the total number of shirts purchased was 25 , so to get the average price per shirt , we divide 305 by 25 , which equals $ 12.20 . as a result , the correct answer is a . note : a relative understanding of weighted average offers a shortcut to this problem . because the true average of 11 and 14 is 12.5 , but the vendor sells more shirts at the lower price than at the higher price , the weighted average must be less than $ 12.50 ; only answer choice a is a possibility .

explanation : mentioned month has begins on a saturday and has 30 days sundays = 2 nd , 9 th , 16 th , 23 rd , 30 th = > total sundays = 5 second saturdays = 8 th and 22 nd total second saturdays = 2 total holidays = total sundays + total second saturdays = 5 + 2 = 7 total days in the month = 30 total working days = 30 - 7 = 23 answer : option b
a = 1 + 1 b = 3 + 2 c = a + b d = 30 - c
a ) 33 , b ) 34 , c ) 35 , d ) 36 , e ) 37

the present age of a father is 3 years more than 3 times the age of his son . 3 years hence , father ’ s age will be 10 years more than twice athe age of the son . find the present age of the father .
sol . let the son ’ s present age be x years . then , father ’ s present age = ( 3 x + 3 ) years . therefore ( 3 x + 3 + 3 ) = 2 ( x + 3 ) + 10 ‹ = › 3 x + 6 = 2 x + 16 ‹ = › x = 10 hence , father ’ s present age = ( 3 x + 3 ) = ( 3 x 10 + 3 ) years = 33 years . answer a
a = 10 * 3 b = 3 + a
a ) 18 , b ) 32 , c ) 28 , d ) 26 , e ) 98

divide(multiply(80, 60), const_100)
find number which is 60 % less than 80 .
"explanation : 60 % less is 40 % of the given number therefore , 40 % of 80 is 32 . answer : b"
a = 80 * 60 b = a / 100
a ) 24 % , b ) 25 % , c ) 30 % , d ) 37 % , e ) 40 %
d
multiply(divide(230, subtract(850, 230)), const_100)
a cricket bat is sold for $ 850 , making a profit of $ 230 . the profit percentage would be
"230 / ( 850 - 230 ) = 230 / 620 = 23 / 62 = 37 % answer : d ."
a = 850 - 230 b = 230 / a c = b * 100
a ) 4436 toys , b ) 5487 toys , c ) 6113 toys , d ) 2354 toys , e ) 1375 toys

divide(5500, 4)
a factory produces 5500 toys per week . if the workers at this factory work 4 days a week and if these workers make the same number of toys everyday , how many toys are produced each day ?
"to find the number of toys produced every day , we divide the total number of toys produced in one week ( of 4 days ) by 4 . 5500 / 4 = 1375 toys correct answer e"
a = 5500 / 4
