Correct Answer: 42
Explanation:
Then, 3x + x = 4x = total number of students.
Thus, to find exact value of x, the total number of students must be divisible by 4.
Correct Answer: 48% of the total members own only one car each.
Explanation:
Then, number of members owning only 2 cars = 20.
Number of members owning 3 cars = 40% of 80 = 32.
Number of members owning only 1 car = 100 - (20 + 32) = 48.
Thus, 48% of the total members own one car each.
Correct Answer: Help her to complete her assignment and then go back to your work.
Explanation:
There are a number of points to take into consideration: Your own task is described as routine; the coworker's assignment is described as one that has top priority, and the coworker has asked for only a few minutes of your time. If you were involved in "rush' work yourself, you might refuse to help until you had finished your own task, but under these, circumstances, help get the priority work done. A side benefits to be considered here is maintaining a good relationship with the coworker, so that you, too, may request assistance at some time when your job demands it.

Correct Answer: Stop the parade long enough to permit the ambulance to cross the street.

Correct Answer: 8 times
Explanation:
So, the bells will toll together after every 420 seconds i.e. 7 minutes.
Now, 7 x 8 = 56 and 7 x 9 = 63.
Thus, in 1-hour (or 60 minutes), the bells will toll together 8 times, excluding the one at the start.
Correct Answer: Friday
Explanation:
Sudha read the book 4 days after Sunday. it means Sudha read the book on Thursday. Hence, Anil will read the book on Friday.
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Let the runs scored by E be x.
Then, runs scored by D = x + 5; runs scored by A = x + 8;
runs scored by B = x + x + 5 = 2x + 5;
runs scored by C = (107 - B) = 107 - (2x + 5) = 102 - 2x.
So, total runs = (x + 8) + (2x + 5) + (102 - 2x) + (x + 5) + x = 3x + 120.
Therefore 3x + 120 =180 ⟺ 3X = 60 ⟺ x = 20.
Correct Answer: Puja
Explanation:
From the given condition,
Sudha scored higher than Puja.
Sudha > Puja
Kavita scored lower than Suma but higher than Sudha.
Kavita < Suma But Kavita > Sudha
Therefore Suma > Kavita > Sudha > Puja
Mamta scored between Puja and Sudha.
Then Suma > Kavita > Sudha > Mamta > Puja data is arranged as
Suma > Kavita > Sudha > Mamta > Puja
Hence, Puja scored lowest in the examination.
