A man can reach a certain place in 40 hours . If he reduces his speed by 1/15th, he goes 5 km less in that time . Find the total distance covered by him.
Correct Answer:
D: 75 km .
Explanation:
A man can reach a certain place in 40 hours . If he reduces his speed by 1/15th, he goes 5 km less in that time . Find the total distance covered by him. Correct Answer 75 km . Correct Option: DLet Distance = D km, Speed = S km/h Time = Distance Speed 40 = Distance .... (1) Speed After reducing speed, Distance = Distance – 5 km, Speed = S × 14 km/h 15 Time = Distance Speed 40 = (Distance – 5) .... (2) Speed × 14 15 After solving equation 1 and 2 Distance = (Distance – 5) Speed Speed × 14 15 14 Distance = 15 (Distance – 5)14 Distance = 15 Distance – 75Distance = 75 km.Hence, option D is correct.

The population of Barisal is 50 percent of the population of Chittagong. The population of Barisal is what percent of the total population of Baisal and Chittagong?
Correct Answer:
B: 3313%
Explanation:
The population of Barisal is 50 percent of the population of Chittagong. The population of Barisal is what percent of the total population of Baisal and Chittagong? Correct Answer 3313% As well as the logic symbols “0” and “1” being used to represent a digital input or output, we can also use them as constants for a permanently “Open” or “Closed” circuit or contact respectively. A set of rules or Laws of Boolean Algebra expressions have been invented to help reduce the number of logic gates needed to perform a particular logic operation resulting in a list of functions or theorems known commonly as the Laws of Boolean Algebra. Boolean Algebra is the mathematics we use to analyse digital gates and circuits. We can use these “Laws of Boolean” to both reduce and simplify a complex Boolean expression in an attempt to reduce the number of logic gates required. Boolean Algebra is therefore a system of mathematics based on logic that has its own set of rules or laws which are used to define and reduce Boolean expressions. The variables used in Boolean Algebra only have one of two possible values, a logic “0” and a logic “1” but an expression can have an infinite number of variables all labelled individually to represent inputs to the expression, For example, variables A, B, C etc, giving us a logical expression of A + B = C, but each variable can ONLY be a 0 or a 1.

Correct Answer 7.0% For the two shipments combined, the percent of defective parts = (total # of defective parts)/(total # of parts)*100 = (120∗0.05 + 80∗0.1)/(120 + 80)∗100 = 7
The average age of a group of 15 employees is 24 years. If 5 more employees join the group, the average age increases by 2 years. Find the average age of the new employees.
Correct Answer:
D: 32
Explanation:
The average age of a group of 15 employees is 24 years. If 5 more employees join the group, the average age increases by 2 years. Find the average age of the new employees. Correct Answer 32 The average age of a group of 15 employees is 24 years. Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 15 of them = 15 * 24 = 360 When 5 more employees join the group, the average age increases by 2 years. New average = 26. Now, there are 20 employees. Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 20 of them = 20x26 = 520 Therefore, the sum of the ages of the 5 new students who joined = 520 - 360 = 160 And the average age of each of the 5 new students = 160/5 = 32 years.
