Q13)

alan and ben ran around a 400m track for a competition. alan''s speed was 190m/min. ben's speed was 25m/min less than alan's.
how many complete rounds had alan travelled before he had travelled 300m more than ben?

is the answer 5, 5.7 or 6
i put 6 but the rest of my classmates put 5

shuld be 5 because they asked for complete rounds, and only 5 rounds was completed, the sixth round was 3/4 completed.

[quote=\"MummySTay\"]Hi Guitar, how did u get 26? Because Qn 15 asks for least no. of days. I agree this is a trick question, so cannot start reading on Mon. Must start on either Thurs or Fri. Then can get 24 days. My DD also got 26, but she knows her answer is wrong.

Yes, you're right. My DD thought she started reading on Monday...

Aiyo, i got 26 also. My son said it's 24. So the answer is 26 or 24?[/quote]Ans. 24 days
