Question 3: (Answer: 1000 ml)

100% – 60% = 40%

Question 9: (Answer: 7)

Let the 3-digit prime number be ABC , where C AB.

All prime numbers larger than 2 are odd. Hence, C is odd.

Since ABC is prime, it can only be divided by 1 and itself.

If C 9, A  B C 9  9 18 which is divisible by 9. ABC is not prime.

If C 5 , AB5 is divisible by 5 and the number not prime.

If C 3, A  B C 33 6 which is divisible by 3. ABC is not

Question: 13 (Answer: $7600)

Method I:

Bryan will save more by transporting robots from warehouse D than C, to Farm A.

Farm A needs 8 robots: 4 from D and 4 from C.

4 × $500 + 4 × $800 = $2000 + $3200 = $5200.

Farm B needs 6 robots. Since no more robots in D, all 6 from C.

6 × $400 = $2400.

Total cost = $5200 + $2400 = $7600.

200w  100(10)  5800
200w  6800

The cost is minimized when w is the least. Since there are only 4 robots in
warehouse D, and farm A needs 8 robots, least w = 4.

Minimum cost is $200(4)  $6800 $7600 .

How do we get a1, a2 , ..., a18 ? We start from the numerator 1.

1 ÷ 2 = 0 R1. a1 0.

33
To get subsequent a2 , ..., a18 , use [10 × Remainder + previous
revious
vious a] ÷ 2.

an
[10 × 1 + 0] ÷ 2 = 5.. a2 5.

5 ÷ 2 = 2 R 1. a3 2.

[10 × 1 + 2] ÷ 2 = 6. a4 6.

6 ÷ 2 = 3. a5 3.

3 ÷ 2 = 1 R 1. a6 1.

[10 × 1 + 1] ÷ 2 = 5 R 1. a7 5.

[10 × 1 + 5] ÷ 2 = 7 R 1. a8 7.

[10 × 1 + 7] ÷ 2 = 8 R 1. a9 8.

[10 × 1 + 8] ÷ 2 = 9. a10 9.

9 ÷ 2 = 4 R1. a11 4.

[10 × 1 + 4] ÷ 2 = 7. a12 7.

7 ÷ 2 = 3 R 1. a13 3.

[10 × 1 + 3] ÷ 2 = 6 R 1. a14 6.

[10 × 1 + 6] ÷ 2 = 8. a15 8.

8 ÷ 2 = 4. a16 4.

4 ÷ 2 = 2. a17 2.

2 ÷ 2 = 1. a18 1.

1 ÷ 2 = 0 R 1. Same as the first step. So the decimal starts to recur.

Why does it work? Consider

Hence, k ÷ 2 gives the 1st decimal place. The remainder is 10 times the next decimal
place. And so on.

Question 29: (Answer: 6)

Consider the worst case scenario where the selected integers are not divisible by
any number in the set: {6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.

We are left with: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Any one of these numbers included in the set will have
one number divisible by another.

We need at least 5 + 1 = 6 integers.

Question 30: (Answer: 130)

Divide all the numbers by 2. 7102 ÷ 2 = 3551.

Then, the 1st number in Row 60 is 3482.

Hence, 3551 is the 70th number in the 60th row.
