Answer to Question 1 -

P = 10 rev per minute -> in one second it makes 10/60 = 1/6 rev per sec
Q = 40 rev per min -> in 1 sec = 40/60 = 2/3 rev per sec

1/6 * t + 6 = 2/3 * t

solve for t and you'll get 12. Answer D

A. 1
B. 10
C. 10^2
D. 10^3
E. 10^4
i suppose question asks for value of (10^8 - 10^2)/(10^7 - 10^3), it can be written as 10^2{(10^6)-1}/10^3{(10^4)-1}, now 1 can be neglected in comparison with 10^6 or 10^4

So our expression will now reduce to (10^2*10^6)/(10^3*10^4)=10 ans..

1 is insignificant when you are dealing with numbers in the thousands...we are not looking for an exact response here.
