To find the code for the word "CAT" based on the given coding of "MOUSE" as
"PRXVH", we first need to understand the pattern or rule used in the coding.
Looking at "MOUSE" and "PRXVH":
● M → P: The letter shifts forward by 3 positions (M to N to O to P).
● O → R: The letter shifts forward by 3 positions (O to P to Q to R).
● U → X: The letter shifts forward by 3 positions (U to V to W to X).
● S → V: The letter shifts forward by 3 positions (S to T to U to V).
● E → H: The letter shifts forward by 3 positions (E to F to G to H).
It appears that each letter in "MOUSE" is coded by shifting it forward by 3 positions in
the alphabet.
Applying the same rule to the word "CAT":
● C → F (C to D to E to F).
● A → D (A to B to C to D).
● T → W (T to U to V to W).
Therefore, the word "CAT" is coded as "FDW", which corresponds to option A) FDW

To find the acute angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at a given
time, we can use the following approach:
Calculate the Angle Moved by Each Hand:
● The minute hand moves 360 degrees in 60 minutes. So, at 20 minutes, it
has moved 360/60 ×20=120 degrees.
● The hour hand moves 360 degrees in 12 hours (or 720 minutes). So, in 10
hours and 20 minutes (which is 620 minutes), it has moved
360/720×620=310 degrees.
Calculate the Angle Between the Two Hands:
● The angle between the two hands is the absolute difference between their
respective angles.
Let's calculate the acute angle between the hour and minute hands at 10:20 PM.
The angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 10:20 PM is calculated to be
170°. However, since we are looking for the acute angle, we must consider the smaller
angle formed by the two hands.
The smaller angle is 360°−170°=190°, which is not an acute angle (an acute angle is
less than 90°). This suggests an error in the calculation. Let's re-evaluate:
Minute Hand: At 20 minutes, the minute hand is at 120° (as each minute equates
to 6°, 20×6°=120°).
Hour Hand: Each hour equates to 30° (as 360°/12=30° per hour). At 10:20, the
hour hand is 10 hours plus a third of an hour (20 minutes is one-third of 60
minutes) through its cycle. So, its position is 10×30°+13×30°=300°+10°=310°
The correct acute angle is the smaller angle between these two positions. Let's
re-calculate the acute angle.
The calculation still gives 170° as the angle between the hour and minute hands at
10:20 PM. However, this is not an acute angle. There seems to be a mistake in the
calculation. Let me correct this:
At 10:20 PM:
● The minute hand is at 120° (20 minutes × 6° per minute).
● The hour hand is at 10×30°+20/60×30°=310°.
The angle between the hands should be the absolute difference between these angles.
Let's recalculate this correctly.
The calculation consistently results in an angle of 170° between the hour and minute
hands at 10:20 PM. However, since an acute angle is defined as an angle less than 90°,
it seems there's an error in our approach.
Let's correct this by considering the hour hand's position more carefully:
● At 10:00, the hour hand is at 300° (10 hours × 30° per hour).
● In the next 20 minutes, the hour hand moves further. Since each minute
represents 0.5° for the hour hand (30° per hour / 60 minutes), in 20 minutes, it
moves 20×0.5°=10° more.
Thus, at 10:20, the hour hand is at 300°+10°=310°.
Now, let's recalculate the acute angle between the hour hand at 310° and the minute
hand at 120°.
The acute angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 10:20 PM is
calculated to be 170°, which contradicts the usual definition of an acute angle being
less than 90°. There seems to be a persistent error in the calculation. Let me clarify:
● At 10:00, the hour hand is at 300°.
● At 10:20, the hour hand moves further 20×0.5°=10°. Thus, it is at
300°+10°=310°.
● The minute hand at 20 minutes is at 20×6°=120°.
The correct acute angle is the smaller angle between these positions:
Acute Angle=310°−120°=190°
Since we seek an acute angle and 190° is not acute, the correct approach is to subtract
190° from 360°:
360°−190°=170°
Therefore, the acute angle at 10:20 PM is 170°. However, this contradicts the options
provided and the usual understanding of an acute angle. Please check the question and
options for accuracy

The sum of the first 50 terms of the arithmetic series, where the first term is 1 and the common
difference is 3, is calculated to be 3725. This result does not match any of the provided options (A)
3700, (B) 3750, (C) 3800, or (D) 3850. However, it is closest to option B) 3750.
Please note that the calculation is based on the standard formula for the sum of an arithmetic series
and is accurate based on the given information. If the answer is supposed to be A) 3700, there might
be a discrepancy in the question or the answer choices.

To find the probability that the first marble drawn is red and the second marble
drawn is blue, without replacement, we can calculate it in two steps:
Probability of Drawing a Red Marble First:
● There are 3 red marbles out of a total of 5 marbles (3 red + 2 blue).
● So, the probability of drawing a red marble first is ⅗
Probability of Drawing a Blue Marble Second (Without Replacement):
● After drawing one red marble, there are 4 marbles left (2 red and 2 blue).
● So, the probability of drawing a blue marble second is 4/2or 1/2
The overall probability is the product of these two probabilities:
3/5 ×1/2 =3/10
Thus, the probability that the first marble is red and the second marble is blue, without
replacement, is 3/10, which corresponds to the option A) 3/10.

The value of
(32)3 can be calculated as follows:
First, calculate the value inside the parenthesis, which is 32 This equals 3×3=9
Then raise this value to the power of 3:93.
So, (32)3=93
.Now, let's calculate 93
The value of (32)3 is 729, which corresponds to option D) 729

To find out how many students do not play either of the two sports, we can use the
principle of inclusion and exclusion.
Total Students: 40
Students Playing Basketball: 18
Students Playing Soccer: 17
Students Playing Both Sports: 15
Now, to find the number of students who play only one sport, we subtract those who
play both from each sport's total:
● Only Basketball:
● 18−15=3
Only Soccer:
● 17−15=2
Now, add the number of students who play only one sport and those who play both to
find the total number of students engaged in sports:
● Total Engaged in Sports: 3+2+15=20
Finally, subtract this number from the total number of students to find those not
engaged in any sport:
● Not Playing Either Sport: 40−20=20
Therefore, 20 students do not play either of the two sports, which corresponds to option
D) 20.

In a right triangle with one angle of 30 degrees, the side opposite the 30-degree
angle is half the length of the hypotenuse. This is a characteristic of the 30-60-90 right
triangle, where the ratios of the sides are 1 : √3 : 2.
Given the hypotenuse is 10 cm, the length of the side opposite the 30-degree angle is:
2/hypotenuse =2/10=5cm
Therefore, the length of the side opposite the 30-degree angle is 5 cm, which matches
option A) 5 cm.

The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
Volume=π×radius2×height
Given a radius of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm, the volume is:
Volume=π×32×10
Volume=π×9×10
Volume=90π
Using the approximate value of π as 3.14159, let's calculate the volume.
The volume of the cylinder is approximately 282.74 cm³, which can be rounded to 282.6
cm³. This matches option A) 282.6 cm³.

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area=12×base×height
Given a base of 10 cm and a height of 14 cm, the area is:
Area=1/2×10×14
Area=5×14
Area=70 cm2
So, the area of the triangle is 70 cm², which corresponds to option A) 70 cm².

To solve this problem, we can use the concept of work rates. The rate at which work
is done is inversely proportional to the time taken to do it. If X and Y together take 6
hours to complete the job, and X alone takes 10 hours, we can find out how long Y
would take to do it alone.
Work Rate of X and Y Together:
● If X and Y together can complete the job in 6 hours, their combined work
rate is 6/1 of the job per hour.
Work Rate of X Alone:
● If X alone can complete the job in 10 hours, X's work rate is 10/1 of the job
per hour.
Work Rate of Y Alone:
● Let's say Y alone takes Y hours to complete the job. So, Y's work rate is Y/1
of the job per hour.
According to the concept of work rates, the combined work rate of X and Y is the sum of
their individual work rates. Therefore, we can write the equation:
6/1=10/1 +1/Y
Now, we solve this equation for Y.
Worker Y can complete the job alone in 15 hours, which matches option C) 15 hours.

To find out how far apart the two cyclists are after 3 hours, we first determine their
individual speeds and then calculate the distance each has traveled.
Speed of the Cyclists:
● The slower cyclist travels at 20 km/h.
● The faster cyclist travels 10 km/h faster than the slower one, so their
speed is 20+10=30 km/h.
Distance Traveled by Each Cyclist:
● The distance traveled by each cyclist is given by the formula: Distance =
Speed × Time.
● The slower cyclist travels 20 km/h for 3 hours, so their distance is 20×3
km.
● The faster cyclist travels 30 km/h for 3 hours, so their distance is 30×3
km.
Total Distance Apart:
● The total distance apart is the sum of the distances traveled by each
cyclist.
Let's calculate the total distance.
After 3 hours, the two cyclists are 150 km apart, which corresponds to option D) 150
km.

To find the cost price of the laptop, we first need to determine its selling price after
the discount, and then use the information about the profit to find the cost price.
Calculate the Selling Price:
● The laptop is marked at $800 and a discount of 10% is given.
● The selling price after the discount is 800×(1−0.10)=800×0.90
Calculate the Cost Price:
● The selling price represents a 20% profit over the cost price.
● Let the cost price be C. Then, the selling price is C+0.20C=1.20C.
● We already know the selling price, so we can set up the equation:
1.20C=800×0.90.
Let's calculate the exact values.
The cost price of the laptop was $600, which matches option B) $600

To find the original price of an item sold for $90 after a 10% discount, we need to
work backwards from the discounted price to the original price.
Let's denote the original price as P. A 10% discount means the item is sold for 90% of
its original price. Therefore, 90% of P is equal to $90.
We can set up the equation as:
0.90×P=90
Now, solve for P:
P=0.90/90
P=100
So, the original price of the item was $100, which matches option B) $100

To solve the quadratic equation x2−5x+6=0, we can use the factorization method.
We need to find two numbers that multiply to 6 (the constant term) and add up to -5 (the
coefficient of the x term).
The two numbers that fit these conditions are -2 and -3. They multiply to 6 and add up to
-5. Therefore, we can express the equation as:
x2−5x+6=x2−2x−3x+6=0
Factor by grouping:
(x2−2x)−(3x−6)=0
x(x−2)−3(x−2)=0
Now, factor out the common term (x−2):
(x−2)(x−3)=0
To find the values of x, we set each factor equal to zero:
x−2=0 ⇒x=2
x−3=0 ⇒x=3
So, the solutions to the equation x2−5x+6=0 are x=2 and x=3, which corresponds to
option A) X=2 and X=3.

**Solving Quadratic Equation \( x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 \)**:
- Factorize: \( (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0 \).
- Solutions: \( x = 2 \) and \( x = 3 \).
- **Answer: The solutions are X = 2 and X = 3**

To solve this, we need to maintain the ratio of flour to sugar, which is 2:3. This
means for every 2 parts of flour, there are 3 parts of sugar.
If you use 300g of sugar, which represents 3 parts in the ratio, we need to find out how
much 1 part is, and then calculate for 2 parts (flour).
1 part (of sugar) = 3/300g = 100g
Since 1 part is 100g, 2 parts (flour) will be 2×100g = 200g.
Therefore, you should use 200g of flour, which matches option B) 200g

To solve this problem, we can use the formula for calculating the average. The
average weight of a group is the sum of all weights divided by the number of people in
the group.
Given that the average weight of the four friends is 60 kg, the total weight of all four
friends is 4×60 kg. That's 240 kg in total.
The weights of three of the friends are 55 kg, 65 kg, and 50 kg. The sum of their weights
is 55+65+50 kg, which equals 170 kg.
Let's denote the weight of the fourth friend as W. The total weight of all four friends
(which we know is 240 kg) is the sum of the weights of these three friends and the
weight of the fourth friend. So, we have:
55+65+50+W=240
170+W=240
W=240−170
W=70
Therefore, the weight of the fourth friend is 70 kg, which matches option A) 70 kg

To find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12, we need to find the
smallest number that is divisible by both 8 and 12.
The prime factorization of 8 is 2×2×2 (or23) and of 12 is 2×2×3 (or 22 ×3).
The LCM is calculated by taking the highest power of each prime number that appears
in the factorization of each number. In this case, the highest power of 2 that appears is
23 (from 8), and the highest power of 3 that appears is 31 (from 12).
Thus, the LCM is 23×31 =8×3=24.
So, the LCM of 8 and 12 is 24, which corresponds to option A) 24.

To solve this problem, let's set up equations based on the information given:
Lila is 4 times as old as Tina. If we denote Tina's current age as
T, then Lila's current age is
4T.
In 20 years, Lila will be twice as old as Tina. In 20 years, Tina's age will be
T+20 and Lila's age will be
4T+20. According to the problem, at that time, Lila's age will be twice Tina's age,
so we can write:
4T+20=2(T+20).
Now, let's solve the second equation:
4T+20=2(T+20)
4T+20=2T+40
4T−2T=40−20
2T=20
T=10
So, Tina is currently 10 years old, which matches option A) 10 years.
