  1. 187
  2. 176
  3. 540
  4. 748


Answer


Option 1.


Explanation:


The largest squares to fit in the 578×374 area isthe GCD of 578 and 374

=>578 = 2x17x17

374 = 2x11x17

The GCD is 34

Since the total area is 578×374 and the area of each tile is 34×34, the total # of tiles required will be (578×374)/(34×34)

=>

(2x17x17x2x11x17)/(2x17x2x17) = 11×17 = 187


2)Find the number, when 15 is subtracted from 7 times the number; the result is 10 more than twice of the number


  1. 5
  2. 7.5
  3. 4

7x -15 = 2x + 10 => 5x = 25 => x = 5

  1. 1
  2. 0
  3. 2
  4. 3

  1. 30
  2. 50
  3. 80
  4. None of the above


Answer


Option 2.


Explanation:


n(P?V) = n(P) + n(V) n(P?V)

115 = 65+n(V) 30

n(V) = 80

People with only voter id = 80-30 = 50

If the original speed is 3, it would become 4 which is one extra.

therefore, the percentage change = 1 x 100 / 3 = 33.33%

Zinc quantity in alloy => (10+x)/6=3/1 => 10 + x = 18 => x = 8 kg.
