I think its refering to the 3side of the triangle each is 2400. So the 4 circles add up got to be 2400

Not sure if there is more than one answer.
As suggested by Kim Soon Chin, divide by 100.
A bit of trial and error.
Notice that 3, 6 and 9 can divide by 3.
1, 4, 5, 7 , 8, 10 cannot be divided by 3.
So 3 corners try 3, 6, 9
So one side would be 3+6+7+8 = 24
Another side would be 3+9+2+10=24 reject as there is no 2.
3+9+3+9=24 reject as 3 repeated.
3+9+4+8=24 reject as 8 already used.
3+9+5+7 =24 reject as 7 already used
3+9+6+6 =24 reject as 6 repeated.
So 3 corners try 1, 3, 4
1+3+10+10=24 reject as 10 repeated
So 3 corners try 8, 9, 10
9+10+1+4=24
Second line
8+10+3+3=24 reject as 3 repeated
8+10+2+4 reject bec no 2
8+10+1+5 reject bec q used twice.
So 3 corners try 7, 8, 9
First line
8+9+3+4=24
Second line
7+9+4+4 reject bec 4 repeated
7+9+3+5 rejected as 3 used already.
7+9+2+6= 24 reject as no 2.
7+9+1+7=24 reject as 7 used twice.
So first line
8+9+1+5
Second line
7+9+4+4=24 reject
7+9+3+5 reject as 5 repeated
7+9+1+6=24 reject as 1 repeated.
Very tedious.

So 3 corners try 3, 6, 8
Already tried 3+6+7+8
So try 3+6+6+9 reject
3+6+5+10=24
Second line
3+9+6+6 reject
3+9+5+7 reject
3+9+4+8=24
Third line
Left 1, 7
6+9+1+7=23 reject.

As mentioned, sum of 3 corners must be 1900

Avoid putting extremely large or small numbers at corners as they will b used twice.
The combined width of 2 boxes is equal to the width of the cupboard ie. 0.9m or 90 cm.
In Figure B, the height of the 4 boxes placed horizontally is equal to 180cm (=90/2 x 4).
2u + 42 = 180 + 10
2u = 190 - 42 = 148
1u = 74
Gap = 90 - 74 = 16 cm
Height of cupboard
= 3u + 42
= 3x74 + 42
= 264cm
= 2.64m

Why number of 50 cents coins is $35.10 / 0.30 cents = 117 ?
Replies

Zhong Shu Hao
because when we assume all are 20¢ coins, we are short of $107.90. Since every 50¢ coin has 30¢ more value than every 20¢ coin, we need $107.90/$0.30=117 of 50¢ coins to compensate the lack of $107.90.

How to add all $1, $0.20 & $0.50 to get $133.90?
6 years ago
Zhong Shu Hao
the $1 is given by the mum, total of 26 times. It is actuaclly the number of 20¢ and 50¢ that we need to find. Total number of 20¢ and 50¢ coins is give by number of days,182.

So that mean 26 X $1 = $26 + 364 X $0.20 = $72.80 + 117 X $0.50 = $58.50 ($157.30) and not $133.90

Micheal Lim, you missed a step when using the assuming method:
Number of $1 = 26
Number of $0.50 = 117
To find the actual number of $0.20, you need to use 364 (which is the total of $0.50 and $0.20) and minus 117(which is the $0.50 you found)
Number of $0.20 = 364-117= 247

Hi Stacey Tan, can u kindly explain the parts on 26-20mins and 20-12.5mins and it becomes 7.5m for B and 6m for C? Thanks

Stacey Tan
We are told that if B and C do it together, they will complete in 20 mins => the average speed is 20 mins.
[from the table calculation] The 6 mins extra from B was actually to help C do what C would need to complete in 7.5 mins.
So B only needs 6 mins to do what C can do in 7.5 mins. That gives us the ratio to work on.
