Solution: Suppose side of the painting(which is a square) is a and side of the outer square(painting+frame) is b   Area of painting = a^2 and we know that the area of the frame is (1/5) of that of the painting so   Area of frame = (1/5) * a^2   Area of Frame + Painting = a^2 + (1/5)*a^2 = (6/5)*a^2 which is equal to b^2   Line connecting the corners of the frame is the diagonal of the outer square which is equal to b*sqrt2   so, b * sqrt2 = 6   so, b = 3 * sqrt2   b^2 = 18   we know that b^2 = (6/5)*a^2   so, a^2 = (5/6)*b^2 = (5/6)*18= 
(5/6)*18 = 15
15   And area of painting= a^2 = 40   So, answer will be 15.

The difference between two angles of a triangle is 24o. The average of the same two angles is 54o. Which one of the following is the value of the greatest angle of the triangle
Pick
A) 45o
B) 45o
C) 66o
D) 72o
E) None of these

Solution: Solution:   Let a and b be the two angles in the question, with a > b. We are given that the difference between the angles is 24o.   => a – b = 24.   Since the average of the two angles is 54o, we have (a+b)/2 =54.   Solving for b in the first equation yields b=a–24, and substituting this into the second equation yields,   [{a+(a−24)}/2] =54   2a−24 = 54*2   2a−24 = 108   2a = 108 +24   2a =132   a =66   Also,   b=a−24=66−24=42.   Now, let c be the third angle of the triangle. Since the sum of the angles in the triangle is   180o, a+b+c =180.   Putting the previous results into the equation yields 66+42+c =180.   Solving for c yields c =72   Hence, the greatest of the three angles a, b and c is c, which equ   Answer: Option 72o

Options:  A) 8  B) 9  C) 10  D) 11  E) 12

Solution: Sol:   Let the base of the number system be n and the two digit number be ab   given 2(ab)n = (ba)n   ⇒⇒ nb + a = 2na + 2b   ⇒⇒ a(2n - 1) = b(n - 2)   ⇒a/b= n−2 /2n−1   Now the maximum possible value of a or b is (n - 1) (base n) for n = 3 we get   a/b=1/5 which is not possible as in base 3, 5 won't exist.   Similarly, for n = 4   but for n = 5   We get a/b=3/9 i.e.1/3   a = 1, b = 3 is the only number possible when n is the least possible.   The correct wage = (13)5=(8)10   The actual wage paid = (31)5=(16)10   So difference = 8   8nswer 8

* A solution will be posted in two days.  Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 1/6
B) 1/3
C) 1/2
D) 2/3
E) 5/6

Solution: In general, the remainder divided by integer n is the same as the remainder that up to tens of n is divided by 8.   Thus, in order for 46,x,y12 to be divided by 8, y12 should be divided by 8.   Amongst 3,5,8, 3 and 5 can be divided by 8.   Therefore,E= two out of three can be divided and the answer is 2/3.

Hector runs a one-product widget shop. Each month, his fixed costs, whether he produces anything or not, amount to x dollars. The marginal cost of producing and selling one widget is a constant y dollars, regardless of the number he produces. He generally can sell widgets for s dollars each. What is the minimum number of widgets he must produce, assuming he sells every widget he produces, to break even (neither make a profit nor incur a loss) in a given month?	Options.
A) x/(y - s)  B) x/(s - y)  C) x  D) x/s  E) x/y

Solution: Two ways...   1) let t be the total number, so cost = t*y+x and selling price=t*s..   No profit no loss....t*y+x=t*s.....T=x/(s-y)...   x/(s - y)
