2007 48
given away 13
left 35
purchased 17
total 52
net Tradings 8-6=2

Two boats start at the same point. Boat X travels due north at 3 miles per hr and boat Y travels due east at a rate of 4 miles per hour.At what time will the 2 boats be 10 miles apart.?
Ans: 1hr 20mins
Apply pythagoras theorem to solve.
After 2 hrs the fisrt boat will travel 6miles north and the second one will travel 8miles south. Draw a diagram, the distance between them will be the hypotenuse, so (64+36)=100
X^2= 100
so x=10
THerefore time will be 2hrs or 120 minutes.


z=mod(28m+19p) , m and p are non zero then least value of z

Insufficient information:
Assumptions: m and p are integers
put m=19 and p=-28
z=mod(28*19+19*(-28))= 0
you can also put p=28 and m=-19
