40 days by A + 28 days by B = 1 project

35 days by A + 35 days by B = 1 project
Solve above 2 equations get ratioA : B = 7 : 5.
7 +5=L2.
B: 35 x 12 / 5 = 84 days alone, so in one day B does 1/84 work.

A: 35 x 12 / 7 = 60 days alone, so in one day A does 1/60 work,

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION

First, take the last digit of the given number and calculate the number
when this last digit is raised to the powers 1, 2, 3 and so on. Stop the
calculation when the last digit of the given number repeats itself.
The last digit of 2018 is 8. The powers of 8 are as follows:
Power Last Digit
1 8
2 4
3 2
4 6
5 8
1 2

8" = 512, hence the last digit is 2

8' = 4096, hence the last digit is 6
8, = 32768, hence the last digit is 8
The last digit of 8, is the same as 8/ and hence we stop the process.
The pattern repeats in groups of four: 8, 4, 2, 6
Let us find out the remainder of the power 2019 when it is divided by 4.
2019 ÷ 4 = 504 𝑅3
The last digit is 2.

2 45
Take any one of the given points on the circumference of the circle and
join it to any of the 9 other points and hence there are 9 such lines.
Since there are 10 such points on the circumference, we will have 10 × 9
lines. Since joining a line from A to B is the same as from B to A, we divide
by 2.

Total number of lines = 6

 There are 3 unknowns in this question, the ages of the father and 2 sons.
Let the father's age be 𝑥 and the sons' ages be 𝑎 and 𝑏.
𝑥 = (2𝑎 + 𝑏) ----------- (1)
𝑥 = 7(𝑎 − 𝑏) ----------- (2)
𝑥 + 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 84 -------- (3)
Substituting (1) in (3) we get
2(𝑎 + 𝑏) +𝑎 + 𝑏 = 84
3 1949
→ 3(𝑎 + 𝑏) = 84
→ (𝑎 + 𝑏) = 28
Substituting the value of (𝑎 + 𝑏) in (1)
𝑥 = 2(28)

So the father's age is 56. Since the father is 56 years old in 2005, he was
born in the year 2005 − 56 = 1949

1 𝑎/ = 2

2 𝑎6 = 𝑎/ + 2 = 4

3 𝑎" = 𝑎6 + 3 = 7

4 56

Now we can observe the pattern, i.e. 𝑎@ = 𝑎@A/ + 𝑛

Hence, 𝑎/4 = 𝑎5 + 10
= 𝑎B + 9 + 10
=⋯
= 𝑎/ + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10
= 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10
= 56
Therefore, there are 56 regions.

 The blue lines divide the right-angled triangles into 4 smaller triangles. The

9 25.5 𝑐𝑚6 smaller triangles share the same heights and bases. Thus, their areas are

the same. We refer to each smaller triangle as having an area of 1 unit.

There are 6 right-angled triangles within the square. Thus, the area of the

square is 4 × 6 = 24 units.
