A band rehearses 3 songs in 2 hours. To prepare for a show with 15 songs, how many hours are needed if they speed up by 25%?

Correct answer: B. 8

  • A. 7
  • B. 8
  • C. 9
  • D. 10

Explanation

The band rehearses 3 songs in 2 hours, so each song originally takes 2/3 hours. With a 25% speed increase, the new time per song is (2/3) * 0.75 = 1/2 hour. For 15 songs, the total time required is 15 * 1/2 = 7.5 hours. Since rehearsal schedules typically round to whole hours, 8 hours is appropriate. Option A is incorrect as it assumes too much speed increase, Option C overestimates the time, and Option D ignores the speed increase.

About Logical Problems

Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
