Explanation / Answer

4) If 3n-1 is an odd integer.

If we add 1 to it ,it becomes an even integer. So 3n-1+1 =3n is even integer.

If we again add 1 to 3n it becomes odd. so 3n+1 is an odd integer.

Answer is Option A

5) Area of the 40 ft by 20 ft yard = 40 * 20 ft^2 =800 ft^2

It is given he cuts it in 25 minutes.

So 800 ft^2 are cut in 25 minutes.

Area of 40 ft by 30 ft yard = 40 * 30 ft^2 =1200 ft^2

Time needed to cut 1200 ft^2 = 1200 * 25/800 =37.5 minutes

Extra time needed to cut it = 37.5 -25 =12.5 minutes

Option A
