1. According to the figure, since w starts at 2s and ends at 5t, its length will be 5t - 2s.

   Ans : D

2. t - 6 = k + 2

         t = k + 8

   t + 8 = k + 8 + 8

   t + 8 = k + 16

   \ (t + 8) is 16 greater than k.

   Ans : E

3. Since the distance traveled is the same, let the speed and time taken by Pat and Jason respectively be (s₁ and t₁) and (s₂ and t₂).
   Let the two meet at ‘t’ hours after 6.30 a.m.

   speed ´ time = distance

   s₁ ´ t₁ = s₂ ´ t₂

   50 ´ t = 75 (t - 1)

        50t = 75 t - 75

         75 = 25t

            t = 3 hours

   They meet at 9.30 am

   Ans : A

4. Since a and b are integers greater than zero, let us consider the least positive value for a.
   Suppose a = 1
   a + b = 20
   \ b = 19
   If a = 1, b = 19
   then a - b = -18 which is the least value.

   Ans : B
