1. 1600 - square roots. 2. 2 in 2 minutes= 1 does a page in 4 minutes= in 2 minutes 1 will do half a page, so in 6 minutes 1 person will type 1.5 pages. so if 1.5 pages take 1 person 6 minutes to type, then it will take it would take 12 people do type 18 pages. ANS= D) 12 3. C= 9 o clock 4.c) A man is known by the company he keeps 5.D) 10 6.D) 20 7.10. This took absolutly ages . thought it had somethign do do with length. each sylable is worth 5 . wierd one. my head hurts. 8.a-7, b-8, C+D =5 so when D,D,C,B=16 its D,(5) 8=16 so d= 3 therefore AABD=7+7+8+3= 25 so ans = b)25 9.pythagoras says its c) 10 10.c) 8. i presume.
i got them all done in ten minutes except for 7 which took about 10 minutes by itself. so like,... you can leave that out when i get my score and prize
c) 6 p=pages t=typists m=minutes 2 pages divided between 2 typists takes 2 minutes so the equation should look like 2p/2t = 2m if you increase Pages then Minutes should increase if you increase Typists then Minutes should decrease so: p/t = 2m multiply by 18 to get the right number of pages 18p/t = 36m now to get minutes right we divide by 6 18p/6t = 6m so 6 typists
opps. at the start of my answer i said that he was typing one page in four minutes, instead of 2, so my answer was double what is should have been damn you neil... next time.....
2 typists type 2 pages in 2 minutes. That means each of them type 1 page (not half) in 2 minutes. With a total of 6 minutes, each typist can type 3 pages. It takes 6 typists to type 18 pages in 6 minutes
This question is not a very good one. One can answer 1600 based on "square" or 1800 based on the fact that the sum of all digits equals to 9. I get 19.
(1) All questions must be answered in 5 min instead of 10. Speed and accuracy are required. (2) For Question 1, 1800 should be substitued by 2100. My apology. The answer is 1600 - perfect square.
