Q:

How many bottles of water is a gallon?

A) 16 B) 8
C) 4 D) 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8

Explanation:

The easiest way would measure it through half a liter water bottle. There are approximately 16.9 ounces(oz) of water in a 500ml water bottle.

 

Gallon is an imperial customary volume unit for the U.S.

 

As we have previously mentioned, the 16.9oz bottle is also known as 500ml in the metric system. According to U.S. standard, 1 gallon stands for 128 fluid oz.

 

Hence, Number of bottles in 1 gallon = 128/16.9 = 7.57 =~ 8.

Q:

6 divided by 2(1 + 2) =

A) 1 B) 0
C) 9 D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 9

Explanation:

The given expression can be simplified as

÷ 2 (1 + 2)

The expression can be simplified further by the order of operations, using BODMAS rule.

 

First evaluate Parentheses/Brackets, then evaluate Exponents/Orders, then evaluate Multiplication-Division, and finally evaluate Addition-Subtraction.

 

Now, the expression becomes ÷ 2 (3)

 

According to the order of operations, division and multiplication have the same precedence, so the correct order is to evaluate from left to right. First take 6 and divide it by 2, and then multiply by 3.

6 ÷ 2 × 3

= 3 × 3

= 9

But not  6÷2×3 = 6 ÷ 6 = 1

Hence, 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 9.

Q:

A starts a business, after 6 months B also join him with Rs.4500 and after 2 months of B’s joining C also join them with Rs.4500. If A gets approx. Rs 4900 out of total annual profit of Rs. 10,000 then find the approximate value of initial investment of A.

A) Rs.4800 B) Rs.4200
C) Rs.3600 D) Rs.4400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.3600

Explanation:

Let initial investment of A = x
Ratio of profit A : B : C = 12 × x : 6×4500 :4×4500
A :B:C = x : 2250: 1500
Now ATQx/(x+2250+1500) = 4900/10000
solving this we get,x ≈ Rs 3600
