Correct Answer: 17
Explanation:
Since floor starts form the 1 therefore 2 will be the 1st floor.
Form 1 to 10 only 4,6,8,9,10 are not prime.
Form 11 to 20 only 14 ,16,18 are not prime also non of their digits are prime.
From 21 to 30 each number has a prime number so it must no be consider.
In between 40 to 49 we have to consider only 40,44,46,48,49.
50 to 59 follow either of the condition so we have too neglect it.
In between 60 to 68 60,64,66,68.
total option = 17.
Correct Answer: 31
Explanation:
Let y be the total number of loaves
a be the remaining loaves after 1st thief
b be the remaining loaves after 2nd thief
and c, d..so on after 3 and 4 th
e = 0 be the remaining loaves after 5th thief
a = y - (y/2 + 1/2)
= y/2 - 1/2
b = a - (a/2 + 1/2)
= a/2 - 1/2
c = b - (b/2 + 1/2)
= b/2 - 1/2
d = c - (c/2 + 1/2)
= c/2 - 1/2
e = d - (d/2 + 1/2)
= d/2 - 1/2
we know that, e = 0,
thus by substitution, we get
d = 1
c = 3
b = 7
a = 15
y = 31
Therefore total number of bread loaves in bakery was 31.
Correct Answer: 23

If he wants to give these books equally to 2 of his friends, then 1 book will remain, it means possible number of books = 15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29
If he wants to give these books equally to 3 of his friends, then 2 books will remain, it means possible number of books = 17,20,23,26,29
If he wants to give these books equally to 4 of his friends, then 3 book will remain, it means possible number of books = 15,19,23,27

Correct Answer: 32
Explanation:
Let the first number be K and second number be L
Then, 2K + 3L = 100.....(1)
3K + 2L = 120.......(2)
solving (1)&(2), we get
K = 32 and L = 12
Hence the largest number is 32.
Correct Answer: none
Correct Answer: 17
Explanation:
The fence will consist of one more post than there are chains. (e.g. P-c-P-c-P).
Therefore, a total length has to be a multiple of the length of the chain plus one post (5.5) plus one post extra.We have length = (5.5n + 0.5), where n can be any positive whole number. If n= 3, length =17
Correct Answer: 5x + 14y
Explanation:
Step 1 :2x + 5y
Step 2 :3(2x + 5y) = 6x + 15y
Step 3 :(6x + 15y) - (x +y) = 6x + 15y - x - y (watch that last minus sign!)
This gives 5x + 14y
Correct Answer: 3L / K(K-3)
