To answer this question, we need to analyze the information given and determine which statement must be true based on that information.

The given information states that Tim's commute used to be comfortable because there were always seats available on the train. However, since the train schedule changed, the train has become extremely crowded, and by the time the doors open at Tim's station, there are no seats available.

Based on this information, the statement that must be true is:

B. Tim's commute is less comfortable since the train schedule changed.

This statement is true because the given information explicitly states that the train has become extremely crowded and there are no seats available, which implies that Tim's commute has become less comfortable.

To answer this question, let's try to find the pattern in the given sequence:

13, 44, 88, 176, 847, ?

Looking at the sequence, it appears that each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by a certain factor and then adding a specific value.

• The first number, 13, can be obtained by multiplying 1 by 10 and adding 3: (1 * 10) + 3 = 13.
• The second number, 44, can be obtained by multiplying 4 by 10 and adding 4: (4 * 10) + 4 = 44.
• The third number, 88, can be obtained by multiplying 8 by 10 and adding 8: (8 * 10) + 8 = 88.
• The fourth number, 176, can be obtained by multiplying 16 by 10 and adding 16: (16 * 10) + 16 = 176.
• The fifth number, 847, can be obtained by multiplying 64 by 10 and adding 7: (64 * 10) + 7 = 847.

Based on this pattern, we can conclude that the next number in the sequence should be obtained by multiplying the previous number by 10 and adding some value.

To find the missing number, we can apply the same pattern to the fifth number, 847.

The missing number is obtained by multiplying 64 by 10 and adding some value: (64 * 10) + x = ?

Simplifying the equation, we get:

640 + x = ?

To find the value of x, we need to subtract 640 from the given answer options:

A) 1595 - 640 = 955 B) 1190 - 640 = 550 C) 2330 - 640 = 1690 D) None of these

Comparing the value of x with the answer options, we can see that the correct answer is A) 1595, as it matches the value of x obtained from the equation.

Therefore, the number that should replace the question mark is 1595.

To solve this question, we need to determine the values of the colors and then find the sum of yellow and brown.

Let's assign variables to the values of the colors:

Let: Green = G Blue = B Red = R Black = K Yellow = Y Brown = Br

From the given information, we have two equations:

1) G + B = 89 2) R + K = 56

We need to find the value of Y + Br.

Since we don't have direct information about the values of yellow and brown, we need to find a relationship between the variables.

Let's consider the sum of all the colors:

(G + B) + (R + K) = 89 + 56 G + B + R + K = 145

Now, let's express this sum in terms of yellow and brown:

(G + B) + (R + K) = (Y + Br) + (G + R + B + K)

Since we know the values of (G + B) and (R + K), we can substitute them in to get:

89 + 56 = (Y + Br) + 145 145 = Y + Br + 145

From this equation, we can conclude that Y + Br = 0.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) None of these, as the sum of yellow and brown is 0.

To solve this problem, we can use algebraic equations. Let's assume the price per 100 apples is x cents.

According to the given information, if the price per 100 apples were 4 cents more, the man would have received 5 fewer apples for $1.20. This can be represented as:

$\frac{120}{x+4} = \frac{100}{x} - 5$

To solve this equation, we can cross multiply:

$120x = 100(x+4) - 5x$

Simplifying the equation:

$120x = 100x + 400 - 5x$

$120x = 95x + 400$

$25x = 400$

$x = 16$

Therefore, the price per 100 apples is 16 cents.

Now, let's go through each option to see which one matches our result:

Option A) The apples cost 96 cents per 100 - This option is incorrect because we found that the price is 16 cents, not 96 cents.

Option B) The apples cost 94 cents per 100 - This option is incorrect because we found that the price is 16 cents, not 94 cents.

Option C) The apples cost 98 cents per 100 - This option is incorrect because we found that the price is 16 cents, not 98 cents.

Option D) None of these - This option is incorrect because we have found that the price per 100 apples is 16 cents.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A) The apples cost 96 cents per 100.

Note: It's important to double-check the calculations to ensure accuracy.

To find the total number of students who appeared in the examination, we can use the concept of set theory and Venn diagrams.

Let's assume the total number of students who appeared in the examination is represented by the variable 'x'.

According to the given information:

• 80% of students passed in Physics, which means 80% of 'x' students passed in Physics.
• 70% of students passed in Chemistry, which means 70% of 'x' students passed in Chemistry.
• 15% of students failed in both the subjects, which means 15% of 'x' students failed in both Physics and Chemistry.
• 390 students passed in both the subjects.

Using this information, we can create an equation based on the principle of inclusion-exclusion: (Number of students who passed in Physics) + (Number of students who passed in Chemistry) - (Number of students who passed in both) + (Number of students who failed in both) = Total number of students

Let's solve this equation to find the value of 'x':

(80% of x) + (70% of x) - (390) + (15% of x) = x

Simplifying the equation: 0.80x + 0.70x - 390 + 0.15x = x 1.65x - 390 = x 0.65x = 390 x = 390 / 0.65 x = 600

Therefore, the total number of students who appeared in the examination is 600.

Hence, the correct answer is option C) 600.
