You can take any two digit multiple of 3 starting from 12 onwards and you will see that in all the cases a+b is also divisible by 3. SUFF 2. a-2b=divisible by 3;again you can plug in numbers such as 7-2(2)=3; a=7 b=2 and 7+2=9 --...

Area of the rectangle = 14*10=140 cm^2
given that a new square is formed with sides: 14-x = 10+x
x= 4
area of the square = 12*12 = 144
hence area changes by 144-140=4---> (A)

IMO the answer is (B). As the previous poster has correctly noted, from (2) we get:
If number of students not studying biology =x
then number of girls = 2x
we have: 26+x = 18+2x
x=8
therefore, total number of students = 26+x = 34

IMO (B)
Reason: if x,y,z are 4,5,6 then 4+6 (x+z) is a multiple of 10 but 4+5+6=15 is not divisible by 10. Hence (1) is insufficient.

If a fraction has to be a terminating decimal, it should have either powers of 2 or 5 in the denominator (eg 2^3 or 5^2)
in case of E, 128 in the denominator can be expressed as 2^7

Since the ques asks for amount of time in minutes we need to convert 1 hour to 60 mins and follow a simple relation
x pastries take 60 mins
50 pastries take z mins
Since more the time, more number of pastries can be created, hence direct relation
x:50 :: 60:z
therefore, z = (50*60)/x --->(E)
