Solution:

20 spokes

Explanation:
360/S = A
360/(S +10) = A – 6
Thus there are 20 spokes in the wheel.

Solution:

Of course, the questions has so many details and so many figures, but you have to consider just a few things. First calculate how much time will it take the friends to meet. Since they are meeting half way, they have to travel 18 miles. At the speed of 6 MPH, they will be able to do it in three hours.

Now see the fact that the parrot will keep on flying for three hours at 20 MPH. Thus the total distance that will be covered will be 60 miles.

Solution:

16/81

Explanation:
It is a question of geometric progression but we can solve it step by step as well in case you are not aware of the formula.

At first bounce
The height at which the ball would have reached = 2/3 of the original height from which it was dropped.

At second bounce
The height at which the ball would have reached = 2/3 * 2/3 of the original height from which it was dropped.

At third bounce
The height at which the ball would have reached = 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 of the original height from which it was dropped.

At fourth bounce
The height at which the ball would have reached = 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 of the original height from which it was dropped.

Now, 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 = 16/81

Therefore, 16/81 of the original height from which the ball was dropped is the required fraction height.

Solution:

A cone consists of just two surfaces.

Solution:

The task was simple as you can see in the picture. This is how you will cut and join the boards and then you will be able to cover the hole completely.

Solution:

    526485
+ 197485
= 723970

Solution:

50%

Explanation:
When the coins are tossed there can be eight possible outcomes (2*2*2)
HHH
HTT
HTH
HHT
TTT
THH
THT
TTH

If you find out, we have only four favorable outcomes. Also, the events here are independent and thus we can calculate the probability by using these only.

Thus the probability is 50 percent.

Solution:

7.5Km

Explanation:
Denoting Ashley with A and Cecelia with C

Speed A = 60 km/hr = 1.2 x Speed C [km/hr] = 1 km/ min

Hence Speed C = 60/1.2 [km/hr] = 50 [km/hr] = 5/6 km/ min

Time C = D [km] /Speed C [km/min] = D/Speed C [min] = D/(5/6) min = 6D/5 min = 1.2 D min

Time A = D [km] /Speed A [km/min] = D/Speed A [min] = D/(1) min = D min

Since Time C – Time A = 1.5 min

Then (1.2 – 1)D min = 0.2D min = 1.5 min



Hence D = 1.5/0.2 km = 1.5*5 = 7.5 km

The total distance as calculated above is 7.5 Km.

Solution:

6

Explanation:
(2^x)(30^3) = (2^3) (3^3) (4^3) (5^3)

(2^x)(30^3) = (120^3)

(2^x) = (120^3)/ (30^3)

(2^x) = (4^3)

(2^x) = 64

ln(2^x) = ln(64)

x ln(2) = ln(64)

x = ln(64)/ln(2)

x = 6

Thus x = 6.

Solution:

2hr 11min

Explanation:
Now this question cannot be solved unless you know a fact i.e. the hour hand is exactly on the minute mark five times every hour - on the hour, 12 minutes past hour, 24 minutes past hour, 36 minutes past hour and 48 minutes past hour.

Denoting the number of hours with X and the number of minutes as Y, let us begin with the calculation.

When we have the hour hand on the minute mark, the position of hour hand:
5X + Y/12
And the position of the minute hand = Y

When the first observation was taken,
Y = Y = 5X + Y/12 + 6
Or, 60X = 11Y - 72.

With the given facts, we know for sure that Y can only be 0, 12, 24, 36 or 48.
According to which, the possible values for X and Y can be 1 and 12 respectively. Thus the time must be 1:12 when the first observation was taken.

Similarly, in the second observation, let's make the equation:
60X = 11Y - 84
Here, the possible values for X and Y here are 3 and 24 respectively. According to this, the time is 3:24 for sure.

From 1:12 to 3:24, two hours and eleven minutes have passed.
