in the first plot 25 % of 300 seeds germinated , so 0.25 x 300 = 75 seeds germinated . in the second plot , 35 % of 200 seeds germinated , so 0.35 x 200 = 70 seeds germinated . since 75 + 70 = 145 seeds germinated out of a total of 300 + 200 = 500 seeds , the percent of seeds that germinated is ( 145 / 500 ) x 100 % , or 29 % . answer : c .

solution : we know that 12,000 glucose molecules are created over a period of 12 days . therefore 12,000 / 12 = 1,000 glucose molecules are created on average per day . each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms . so 1,000 glucose molecules contain 6 Γ— 1,000 = 6,000 carbon atoms and 12 Γ— 1,000 = 12,000 hydrogen atoms . the difference is 12,000 – 6,000 = 6,000 . the correct answer is b .

9 + 2 + 9 + 2 + 6 + 0 = 28 , so this number is not divisible by 3 and thus not divisible by 30 . therefore , k = 0 3 ^ k - k ^ 3 = 1 - 0 = 1 the answer is b .

the digit sum of the year 2007 is 2 + 0 + 0 + 7 = 9 , which is a square number . how many years during the 20 - first century have a square digital sum ?
the twenty - first century runs from the year 2001 to 2100 inclusive , so with the exception of the year 2100 , for which the digital sum is three anyway , the first two digits of all the other years are fixed as 20 . hence for the sum of all the digits to be square the sum of the last two digits number be two less than a perfect square . as the maximum sum of the last two digits is 18 , the greatest sum will be 20 . therefore we can obtain digital sums of 4 , 9 , or 16 , with the last two digits adding to 2 , 7 , or 14 respectively . 4 : 2002 , 2011 , 2020 9 : 2007 , 2016 , 2025 , 2034 , 2043 , 2052 , 2061 , 2070 16 : 2059 , 2068 , 2077 , 2086 , 2095 that is , there are sixteen years during the twenty - first century for which the digital sum is square . answer : d

robert ' s salary was decreased by 30 % and subsequently increased by 30 % . how much percentage does he lose ?
"let original salary be $ 100 salary after decreasing 30 % = 100 - 100 x 30 / 100 = $ 70 salary after increasing 30 % on $ 70 = 70 + 70 x 30 / 100 = $ 91 percentage of loss = 100 - 91 = 9 % answer : b"

if 6 cats can kill 6 rats in 6 minutes , how long will it take 100 cats to kill 100 rats ?
"it will take 6 minutes for 100 cats to kill 100 rats . 1 cat can kill 1 rat in 6 minutes , so 100 cats can kill 100 rats in 6 minutes answer e"
