asnwer is B.
Think about logically. In order to wrap the box, the paper has to cover the entire box, which is the surface area of the box. Surface area comes out to be 432. So the area of the paper has to be greater than or equal to 432. Only B is enough.

Just multiply the ones digit
13^4=3*3=9
9*3=27
7*3=21
Take the 1

17^2= 7*7=49
Take the 9

29^3=9*9=81
81*9=9
Take the 9
1*9*9=1 in the units digit

Problem 1) Distance equals 120 miles
Equation: 150-D=30(3-T)
150-60T=90-30T
T=2
D=R.T
D=60.2=120miles

Problem2) Obviously the car is faster than the bus. Check your numbers in the problem. I dont think they are correct
