a cube is painted such that one pair of surfaces is painted brown and the other pair of surfaces is painted orange . the cube is cut in to 64 small cubes of equal size . find how many cubes have both the color brown and orange ?
there are 6 surfaces to the cube . in which opposite surfaces are painted brown and other 2 opposite surfaces are painted orange . then 4 edges of the cube have both the colors . since the big cube cut in to 64 smaller cubes , the 4 edges of the cube have both the colors . since the big cube cut into 64 smaller cubes , the 4 edges of the big cube has 4 Γ— 4 = 16 smaller cubes have both brown and orange colors . answer = 16 answer : b

in a certain game of dice , the player ’ s score is determined as a sum of 3 throws of a single die . the player with the highest score wins the round . if more than one player has the highest score , the winnings of the round are divided equally among these players . if john plays this game against 22 other players , what is the probability of the minimum score that will guarantee john some monetary payoff ?
to guarantee that john will get some monetary payoff he must score the maximum score of 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 , because if he gets even one less than that so 17 , someone can get 18 and john will get nothing . p ( 18 ) = 1 / 6 ^ 3 = 1 / 216 . answer : b .

if the product of the integers w , x , y and z is 68 , and if 0 < w < x < y < z , what is the value of w + z ?
24 = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 so w = 1 , x = 2 , y = 3 , z = 4 w + z = 1 + 4 = 5 answer - b

the speed of a railway engine is 63 km per hour when no compartment is attached , and the reduction in speed is directly proportional to the square root of the number of compartments attached . if the speed of the train carried by this engine is 24 km per hour when 9 compartments are attached , the maximum number of compartments that can be carried by the engine is :
the reduction in speed is directly proportional to the square root of the number of compartments attached does reduction mean amount subtracted ? or percentage decrease ? there are at least two interpretations , and the wording does not provide a clear interpretation between them . evidently what the question intends is the subtraction interpretation . what is subtracted from the speed is directly proportional to the square root of the number of compartments attached . in other words , if s = speed , and n = number of compartments , then s = 63 - k * sqrt ( n ) where k is a constant of the proportionality . in general , if a is directly proportional to b , we can write a = k * b and solve for k . if n = 9 , then s = 24 24 = 63 - k * sqrt ( 9 ) = 63 - 3 k k = 13 now , we need to know : what value of n makes s go to zero ? 0 = 63 - 13 * sqrt ( n ) 13 * sqrt ( n ) = 63 n = 23 with 24 compartments , the train does not budge . therefore , it would budge if there were one fewer cars . thus , 23 is the maximum number of cars the engine can pull and still move . e

a train traveled the first d miles of its journey it an average speed of 60 miles per hour , the next d miles of its journey at an average speed of y miles per hour , and the final d miles of its journey at an average speed of 160 miles per hour . if the train ’ s average speed over the total distance was 98 miles per hour , what is the value of y ?
average speed = total distance traveled / total time taken 3 d / d / 60 + d / y + d / 160 = 98 solving for d and y , 15 y = 11 y + 480 4 y = 500 y = 125 answer e
