Assume x $750 bonuses, y $1500 bonuses, and z $7,350 bonuses were given. Then, we'dhave:

750x + 1,500y + 7,350z =64,800

Reduce by150:

5x + 10y + 49z =432

Our goal is to minimize x + y + z. To achieve this, we need to maximize the number of the largest bonus, z. The value of z cannot be 9 or higher, so we try z = 8. In this case, wehave:

5x + 10y + 392 = 432
5x + 10y =40

Now, let's maximize the number of the next largest bonus, y. Since x > 0, the maximum value of y is 3, making x = 2.

Therefore, x + y + z = 2 + 3 + 8 = 13.

Let me discuss on certain observations/analysis, which could help you in arriving at answerfaster.

Divisibility rule of8
If last 3 digits are divisible then the entire number is divisible by8.

Why?
Because any number with last three digits zero is always divisible by 8. For example, 123000 or 876000 or 111000. (1000 is 8*125 and any of the numbers can be written as 111*1000 or 111*8*125).
We utilise the above fact for our divisibility rule.
Any number abcdef can be written as abc000+d00+ef. Here abc000 is divisible by 8.
So, we check def for divisibility by8.

Some morefacts
When you divide 100, 300, 500, 700 or 900 with 8, it will leave a remainder 4, so the last two digits should also give 4 as remainder.

This question is very easy; it says to select yes if the furnished facility is being charged more than 10% higher than the unfurnished facility.

The first option is No because 705/730*100 is less than 10% in First year. (If first year is No, then there is no need to calculate the 2nd year)

The second option is Yes because 766/867*100 is greater than 10% and 771/893*100 is also greater than 10%.

The third statement is similar to first statement and the answer is No.

Remember this is an EXCEPT question and the correct answer is the one that cannot be inferred from thepassage.

(B) cannot be inferred because it implies an equivalence between the usefulness of high heels today and the practical function of platform shoes during the Middle Ages. However, the passage does not make such a direct comparison. Instead, it highlights the shift from utilitarian purposes in the Middle Ages to purely aesthetic purposes today. Therefore, B is the answer.

On the otherhand  (C) canbe  inferred from the passage as it discusses how high heels alter the appearance and posture of women. It suggests that wearing high heels forces women to tense their legs and buttocks, affecting their posture and making them appear more fit and firm. Additionally, it mentions how high heels elongate the legs and cause the hips to sway, altering the overall appearance of a woman'sbody.

­can anyone plz explain for Q.no 5?
regarding option B and optionC?

 

Remember this is an EXCEPT question and the correct answer is the one that cannot be inferred from thepassage.

(B) cannot be inferred because it implies an equivalence between the usefulness of high heels today and the practical function of platform shoes during the Middle Ages. However, the passage does not make such a direct comparison. Instead, it highlights the shift from utilitarian purposes in the Middle Ages to purely aesthetic purposes today. Therefore, B is the answer.

On the otherhand  (C) canbe  inferred from the passage as it discusses how high heels alter the appearance and posture of women. It suggests that wearing high heels forces women to tense their legs and buttocks, affecting their posture and making them appear more fit and firm. Additionally, it mentions how high heels elongate the legs and cause the hips to sway, altering the overall appearance of a woman'sbody.

OfficialExplanation


The author wrote the passage to posit which of thefollowing?

Explanation

­The passage indicates that Chanel and Vionnet are examples illustrating a theory that personal virtues are“irrelevant” to material success. This matches choice (D).

Choice(A) is a distortion, as“irrelevant” indicates no relationship, not an inverseone.

Choice(B) confuses an example given in the passage with the purpose of the passage and creates a hierarchy that the passage didnot.

Choice(C) again confuses example and purpose; furthermore, the passage does not focus onaesthetics.

Choice(E) is an irrelevant comparison and also confuses example andpurpose.

­Avery runs a stationery shop. He has different colored glitter sheets in a box. A boy of class 8 comes to the shop to buy glitter sheets of different colors for a project. The box contains 20 yellow sheets, 10 green sheets, 5 white sheets, 8 black sheets, and 1 red sheet. How many minimum sheets should Avery pick out to ensure that he gets at least 2 sheets of the same color?

A. 12 
B. 10
C. 9
D. 7
E.6


Considering the worst-case scenario, Avery can pick one sheet each of yellow, green, white, black, and red and still not have two sheets of the same color. However, the sixth sheet, regardless of its color, would match one of the colors already picked, thus making two sheets of the same color.

Answer: E.

\((5x)^{\frac{1}{8}} =(4x)^{\frac{1}{6}}\);

We aim to eliminate ugly powers in the expression above. To achieve this, we are raising the expression to the power of 24, which is the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8:

\((5x)^3 =(4x)^4\).

Hope it's clear.­

Any idea why the last statement isn't a possible fact? I reasoned that it would help if we knew that most porcelain was indeed made at one of the several centers. Otherwise, the porcelain recovered at the archaeological site could have been made by an independent artisan, in another country, etc.

To support this assumption, it is essential to establish that most young children are unable to ride roller coasters due to height restrictions or safety regulations. This ensures that the primary audience for the roller coaster based on the action film would likely be individuals other than youngchildren.

 I am not sure how you are suggesting that ''Most of the people who will consider riding on the new roller coaster are not youngchildren.'' is an assumption REQUIRED BY THE ARGUMENT. It can't be a necessary assumption.
At best, the boldfaced statement strengthens the argument. Below is why i think so:

B) The city's new recycling program is a success and should be continued.

Explanation:

The passage presents several positive outcomes of the city's new recycling program, including a 25% reduction in waste sent to landfills, the creation of 15 new jobs, and the generation of $1 million in revenue. While some critics argue that the program is too expensive, the passage does not provide sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the program is a failure or that it should be abandoned. Instead, the passage suggests that the program has been successful and should be continued. Therefore, option B is the most reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from the passage.
