In climbing a round pole of 80 meters height, a monkey climbs 5 meters in a minute and slips 2 meters in the alternate minute. To get to the top of the pole, the monkey would take :
[ "58 minutes", "51 minutes", "63 minutes", "54 minutes" ]
B
a monkey climbs 5 meters in one min & slips 2m in other min. therefore the monkey reach 3meters in 2min 3m=2min 25*3m=25*2min - >75m=50min hence the remaining 5m jumps the monkey in 1min to reach original height so 51 min ANSWER:A

Triglycerides function as a long-term storage form of energy in the human body. Because of the long carbon chains, triglycerides are nearly nonpolar molecules and thus do not dissolve readily in polar solvents such as water. Instead, oils and fats are soluble in nonpolar organic solvents such as hexane and ethers.

What is the greatest prime factor of 4^15 - 2^28?
[ "11", "5", "2", "3" ]
D
I'm happy to help with this. We know 4 = 2^2, so 4^15 = (2^2)^15 = 2^(2*15) = 2^30 That takes advantage of a law of exponents that says (a^n)^m = a^(n*m) So, 4^15 - 2^28 = 2^30 - 2^28 = 2^(28 + 2) - 2^28 = (2^28)*(2*2) - 2^28 = (2^2 - 1) *(2^28) = (4 - 1)*(2^28) = 3*(2^28) The prime factors of 63 are 3, so the largest ...
