thanks tommytommy! yeah 1 more day for the d-day :S

please help me out with these 3 questions i came across in PP.

1) A chef prepared a pound of lamb for every 3 guests, a pound of beef for every 4 guests and a poung of ham for every 6 guests. If he prepares a total of 36 pounds of meat , then he prepares meat for how many guests?

2) Col A: Least positive integer with four different prime factors each greater than 2.
Col B: 1155

3) H,L,P,T,V are 5 symptoms. 30 patients are supposed to give one of the ratings (2,1,0,-1,-2) to each symptom.

Sum of rating of 30 people
H - 12
L - 35
P - 33
T - 26
V - 2

How many symptoms must have had atleast one rating of -2.

(The question is not phrased exactly as it appeared)

Thanks!

[tommytommy]

I'll solve H,L,P,V, T for you. Since i got the same question in my PP

if all 30 Earthlings gave a score of -1 then the min score possible is -30. If it is lesser than that atleast 1 person had have given a score of -2. there are 2 symptoms that got a score less than -30 ie -33 and -35. ergo answer is 2.

2) least prime nos. greater than 2 {3,5,7,11}
