Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work. After the 12 men have worked for 1 hour, the boss calls in 8 more men. How many more hours would 20 men take to complete the remaining work?
A

B
5
C
2
D

Explanation and memory cue
Twelve men take 6 hours, so total work = 12 × 6 = 72 man-hours. After 1 hour, 12 men complete 12 man-hours, leaving 60 man-hours. Now, 20 men work to finish 60 man-hours, so time = 60 ÷ 20 = 3 hours. However, the question asks how many more hours would 20 men take after the first hour, so the answer is 3 hours (option A). The original options have 3 as A, so correct answer is A, not C.

Number Theory

The sum of four consecutive two-digit odd numbers, when divided by 10, becomes a perfect square. Which of the following can possibly be one of these four numbers?
A
21
B
25
C
41
D
67
Explanation and memory cue
Let the four consecutive odd numbers be n, n+2, n+4, and n+6. Their sum is 4n + 12. Dividing by 10 gives (4n + 12)/10. For this to be a perfect square, (4n + 12) must be divisible by 10 and the quotient must be a perfect square.
Rewrite the sum as (n-3)+(n-1)+(n+1)+(n+3) = 4n, where n is the average of the four numbers. Since the numbers are two-digit odd numbers, n ranges between 14 and 96.
Dividing the sum by 10 gives 4n/10 = 2n/5. For this to be an integer perfect square, 2n must be divisible by 5, so n must be a multiple of 5/2, meaning n must be a multiple of 5 and even. Let n = 10m.
Then the quotient is 4n/10 = 4(10m)/10 = 4m. For 4m to be a perfect square, m must be a perfect square. The possible values of m within the range give n = 40 or 90, corresponding to sums 160 and 360, which divided by 10 give 16 and 36, both perfect squares.
The four numbers with average 40 are 37, 39, 41, 43. Among the options, 41 is included here.
Testing the options:
- For n=21: sum=21+23+25+27=96, 96/10=9.6 (not perfect square)
- For n=25: sum=25+27+29+31=112, 112/10=11.2 (not perfect square)
- For n=41: sum=41+43+45+47=176, 176/10=17.6 (not perfect square)
- For n=67: sum=67+69+71+73=280, 280/10=28 (not perfect square)
However, the average n=40 (numbers 37,39,41,43) gives sum=160, 160/10=16 (perfect square). Since 41 is one of these numbers, option C (41) is correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is C (41).

If 10% of daily wagers were fired while 540 workers survived, how many workers were originally there?
A
700
B
650
C
580
D
600
Explanation and memory cue
If 10% of the workers were fired, then 90% remained. Given that 540 workers survived, we can set up the equation 0.9 × total_workers = 540. Solving for total_workers gives 540 ÷ 0.9 = 600 workers originally.

A
125 km/hr
B
75 km/hr
C
135 km/hr
D
120 km/hr
Explanation and memory cue
The average speed for a round trip when distances are equal is given by the harmonic mean: 2 × (100 × 150) / (100 + 150) = 120 km/h. Hence, option D is correct.
