Solution:

The number is 281.

Solution:

18

Explanation:
Number of days with snow in morning and clear afternoon = A
Number of days with clear morning and snow in afternoon = B
Number of days with no snowfall in morning or afternoon = C

Now, number of days with snowfall = A + B = 13
Number of days with clear mornings = B + C = 11
Number of days with clear afternoons = A + C = 12

Adding these three equations, we get

2 * (A + B + C) = 36
Or, A + B + C = 18

Therefore, they spent eighteen days in total at their vacation.

Solution:

Assuming that John has A number of apples and Jacobs has B number of apples.

As per the question,
A + 1 = B - 1
=> B - A = 2 ------ (p)

Also, A - 1 = (B + 1) / 2
=> 2A - B = 3 ------ (q)

Solving (p) and (q)
A = 5 and B = 7

Therefore, A has 5 chocolates and B has 7 chocolates right now.

Solution:

119

Explanation:
Let the minimum number of chocolates = C
When divided by 2, remainder = 1
When divided by 3, remainder = 2
When divided by 4, remainder = 3
When divided by 5, remainder = 4
When divided by 6, remainder = 5
When divided by 7, remainder = 0

Therefore, C is divisible by 7.

Whenever C is divided by any number less than 7, the remainder is 1 less than the divisor.
This implies that, C + 1 is the LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Now LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 = 60
But 60 - 1 = 59 is not divisible by 7

60 * 2 = 120
120 - 1 = 119 which is divisible by 7

Therefore, C + 1 = 120 or C = 119

Number of minimum number of chocolates in the box = 119

Solution:

18

Explanation:
Let us suppose that there were (3 * G) garlic bread sticks originally.

On dividing equally, the number of bread sticks with each of the friend = G

Each one of them ate four. The remaining sticks with each one of them = (G - 4)

Now, the total number of breadsticks left = 3 * (G - 4)
This number is equal to the breadsticks each one of them had after division.

=> 3 * (G - 4) = G
(3 * G) - 12 = G
2 * G = 12
G = 6.

Therefore, the number of breadsticks originally = 3 * G = 3 * 6 = 18.

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.

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:

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:

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.
