b takes 12 more days than a to finish a task . b and a start this task and a leaves the task 12 days before the task is finished . b completes 60 % of the overall task . how long would b have taken to finish the task if he had worked independently ?
detailed solution let us say a and b split their share of the task and started doing their respective shares simultaneously . let ’ s say a takes a days to finish the task . therefore , b takes a + 12 days to finish the entire task . a has to finish 40 % of the task , since b is doing the rest . so a will only take 2 a / 5 number of days . b only has to finish 60 % of the task , so b will take ( 3 ( a + 12 ) / 5 ) number of days . but as we know , b starts working along with a and finishes 12 days after a stops working . so , ( 3 ( a + 12 ) / 5 ) = ( ( 2 a ) / 5 + 12 ) 3 a + 36 = 2 a + 60 a = 24 ; b = 36 days . answer choice b

x and y are integers . a + b < 11 , and a > 6 . what is the smallest possible value of a - b ?
focus on the transition points and plug in the values . a > 6 so a could be 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 etc look at a = 7 7 + b < 11 b < 4 b could be 3 , 2 , 1 , 0 , - 1 etc when b is 3 , we get a - b = 4 this must be the smallest value because as a increases , b reduces so a - b increases . take another example . a = 11 so b < 0 . a - b will give a value greater than 11 . answer ( c ) .

a = 48 - 10 b = a - 2 c = b / 4 d = c + 2 e = d + 2 f = e ** 2 g = 48 - 10 h = g - 2 i = h / 4 j = i + 2 k = j + 2 l = k + 2 m = l ** 2 n = f + m o = 48 - 10 p = o - 2 q = p / 4 r = q ** 2 s = 48 - 10 t = s - 2 u = t / 4 v = u + 2 w = v ** 2 x = r + w y = n + x

there are 8 stores in town that had a total of 24 visitors on a particular day . however , only 12 people went shopping that day ; some people visited more than one store . if 9 people visited exactly two stores each , and everyone visited at least one store , what is the largest number of stores anyone could have visited ?
"9 people visited 2 stores each for 18 visits . to maximize the number of stores that one person visited , let ' s assume that 2 people visited 1 store each . the number of remaining visits is 24 - 18 - 2 = 4 , which is the maximum that one person could have visited . the answer is c ."

in how many ways can the integer 120 be expressed as a product of two different positive integers ?
"120 = ( 2 ^ 3 ) * 3 * 5 since 120 is not a perfect square , no of ways = 5 answer c"

a fruit - salad mixture consists of apples , peaches , and grapes in the ratio 4 : 5 : 2 , respectively , by weight . if 44 pounds of the mixture is prepared , the mixture includes how many more pounds of apples than grapes ?
"we can first set up our ratio using variable multipliers . we are given that a fruit - salad mixture consists of apples , peaches , and grapes , in the ratio of 4 : 5 : 2 , respectively , by weight . thus , we can say : apples : peaches : grapes = 4 x : 5 x : 2 x we are given that 39 pounds of the mixture is prepared so we can set up the following question and determine a value for x : 4 x + 5 x + 2 x = 44 11 x = 44 x = 4 now we can determine the number of pounds of apples and of grapes . pounds of grapes = ( 2 ) ( 4 ) = 8 pounds of apples = ( 4 ) ( 4 ) = 16 thus we know that there are 16 – 8 = 8 more pounds of apples than grapes . answer is c ."
