Problem Set
Easy
1. A boat takes 2/3 as much time to travel downstream from C to D, as to return, if the rate of the
river’s current is 8 kph, what is the speed of the boat in still water?
2. If x varies directly as y and inversely as z, and x = 14 when y = 7 and z = 2, find x when z = 4 and y
= 16.
3. Three persons can do a piece of work alone in 3 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours, respectively. What
fraction of the job can they finish in one hour working together?
4. Find the Domain and Range of f(x) = cosx
Average
1. The sum of the parent’s ages is twice the sum of their children’s ages. Five years ago, the sum of
the parent’s ages is four times the sum of their children’s ages. In fifteen years, the sum of the
parent’s ages will be equal to the sum of their children’s ages. How many children were in the
family?
2. Find the Domain and Range of f(x) = √ x 2−25
3. Find the Domain and Range of f(x) = √ 9−x2
Difficult
1. Twice the middle digit of a three-digit number is the sum of the other two. If the number is
divided by the sum of its digit, the answer is 56 and the remainder is 12. If the digits are
reversed, the number becomes smaller by 594. Find the number.
2. A boat going across a lake 8 km wide proceed 2 km at a certain speed and then completes the
trip at a speed ½ kph faster. By doing this, the boat arrives 10 minutes earlier than if the original
speed had been maintained. Find the original speed of the boat.
3. Nonoy can finish a certain job in 10 days if Imelda will help for 6 days. The same work can be
done by Imelda in 12 days if Nonoy helps for 6 days. If they work together, how long will it take
for them to do the job?
