a not - so - good clockmaker has four clocks on display in the window . clock # 1 loses 10 minutes every hour . clock # 2 gains 15 minutes every hour relative to clock # 1 ( i . e . , as clock # 1 moves from 12 : 00 to 1 : 00 , clock # 2 moves from 12 : 00 to 1 : 15 ) . clock # 3 loses 20 minutes every hour relative to clock # 2 . finally , clock # 4 gains 20 minutes every hour relative to clock # 3 . if the clockmaker resets all four clocks to the correct time at 12 noon , what time will clock # 4 display after 6 actual hours ( when it is actually 6 : 00 pm that same day ) ?
"c 1 loses 15 minutes every hour . so after 60 minutes have passed , c 1 displays that 60 - 15 = 45 minutes have passed . c 2 gains 15 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on c 1 . thus , the time displayed on c 2 is 75 / 60 = 5 / 4 the time displayed on c 1 . so after 60 minutes have passed , c 2 displays the passing of ( 5 / 4 * 45 ) minutes . c 3 loses 20 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on c 2 . thus , the time displayed on c 3 is 40 / 60 = 2 / 3 the time displayed on c 2 . so after 60 minutes have passed , c 3 displays the passing of ( 2 / 3 * 5 / 4 * 45 ) minutes . c 4 gains 20 minutes for every 60 minutes displayed on c 3 . thus , the time displayed on c 4 is 80 / 60 = 4 / 3 the time displayed on clock 3 . so after 60 minutes have passed , c 4 displays the passing of 4 / 3 * 2 / 3 * 5 / 4 * 45 = 50 minutes . c 4 loses 10 minutes every hour . in 6 hours , c 4 will lose 6 * 10 = 60 minutes = 1 hour . since the correct time after 6 hours will be 6 pm , c 4 will show a time of 6 - 1 = 6 pm . the correct answer is d ."

if w is 40 percent less than e , e is 40 percent less than y , and z is 46 percent less than y , then z is greater than w by what percent of w ?
given w = 0.6 e , e = 0.6 y , z = 0.54 y , substituting , w = 2 / 3 z - - - - > z = 1.5 w and thus z is 50 % greater than w . e is the correct answer .

what is the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand when the time is 1540 hours ?
solution : the total angle made by the minute hand during an hour is 360 o . if it takes 360 o for an hour , it will take ( 40 / 60 ) * 360 = 240 o . the angle between the hour hand the minute hand will therefore , be somewhere between 240 - 90 = 150 o , as the hour hand is between 3 and 4 . the angle made by the hour hand when it moves from say 3 to 4 will be 30 o . that is the hour hand makes 30 o during the course of an hour . the hour hand will therefore , move ( 40 / 60 ) * 30 = 20 o . therefore , the net angle between the hour hand and the minute hand will be 150 - 20 = 130 o . answer d

what is the sum of the multiples of 3 from 33 to 60 , inclusive ?
"the formula we want to use in this type of problem is this : average * total numbers = sum first , find the average by taking the sum of the f + l number and divide it by 2 : a = ( f + l ) / 2 second , find the total numbers in our range by dividing our f and l numbers by 7 and add 1 . ( 60 / 3 ) - ( 33 / 3 ) + 1 multiply these together so what we show average * total numbers = sum ( 33 + 60 ) / 2 * ( 60 / 3 ) - ( 33 / 3 ) + 1 = sum 93 / 2 * 10 = 465 a"

3 people each took 5 tests . if the ranges of their scores in the 5 practice tests were 15 , 25 and 30 , what is the minimum possible range in scores of the 3 test - takers ?
i simply looked at the 3 different possible scores for each individual test : 15 , 30,25 we have to find the minimum range : 30 - 15 = 15 30 - 25 = 5 25 - 15 = 10 the find the minimum range , you have to make the set of the 5 scores as small as possible . which means that 4 of the 5 scores of each individual person is zero . 5 * 5 = 25 . answer : a
