Find the probability that the die shows an odd number and the coin shows a head. 1/4 Answer: 1/4 Explanation: The sample space S of the experiment described in question 5 is as follows S = { (1,H),(2,H),(3,H),(4,H),(5,H),(6,H) (1,T),(2,T),(3,T),(4,T),(5,T),(6,T)} Let E be the event "the die shows an odd number and the coin shows a head". Event E may be described as follows E={(1,H),(3,H),(5,H)} The probability P(E) is given by P(E) = n(E) / n(S) = 3 / 12 = 1 / 4 1/2 3/4 2/3 Qn.5 Rearrange and categorize the word 'RAPETEKA'? vehicle bird Answer: bird Explanation: parakeet -bird person city Qn.6 In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green? 1/3 Answer: 1/3 Explanation: Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21. Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green = event that the ball drawn is blue. n(E) = 7. P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 7/21 = 1/3 3/4 7/19 8/24 Qn.7 Some work is done by two people in 24 minutes. One of them can do this work alone in 40 minutes. How much time does the Second person take to do the same work? 60 minutes Answer: 60 minutes Explanation: 1st person does in 1 min. = 1/ 40 of total work. So, the other person does in 1 min. = (1/24 - 1/40) = 1 / 60. i.e., 60 minutes 30 minutes 20 minutes 10 minutes Qn.8 5, 15, x, 51, 53,159,161.

After traveling 6 hrs, 2hrs after sunset it got dog. Compute the speed of dog? 16.2km/hr 16.5km/hr Answer: 16.5km/hr Explanation: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it. Hence d = 22*6 = 132km, Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier). Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5 km/hr 13.5km/hr 13.8km/hr Qn.23 Friends A, B, C went for week end party to McDonald's restaurant and there they measure their weights in some order IN 7 rounds.

So, there is 1 way of doing it. The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place. The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it. Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.

After 5 years a person joined them and the average age is again 45 years. What's the age of 6th person? 45 43 34 20 Answer: 20 Explanation: (m1+m2+...+m5)/5=45 ------------(1) then after 5 years m6 joined (m1+5+m2+5+...+m5+5+m6)/6=45 -------(2) (2)-> [m1+m2+..m5+(5*5)+m6]/6=45-----(3) from (1) m1+m2+...+m5=45*5 (3)-> (45*5)+(5*5)+m6=45*6---(4) (4)-> m6=45-25 m6=20 so the sixth person age is 20 Qn.35 Given digits 2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4 how many distinct 4 digit numbers greater than 3000 can be formed? 50 51 Answer: 51 Explanation: Now, let us fix the first, second and third digits as 3, 2, 2 and then the fourth place can be filled in 3 ways Similarly, we fix first, third and fourth places as 3, 2 and 2 respectively, so the second place can be filled in 3 ways again Now, we fix first, second and fourth places just as previous cases and we obtain the same result. The number of ways is 3 so; the total number of ways is 9. Similarly this can do by fixing the numbers as 3 and 4 (instead of 2) and thereby we obtain the 9 ways in each case. The number of numbers greater than 3000 starting with 3 is 27 Similarly by taking 4 as the first digit and applying the same process, we get 27 numbers The total number of numbers that are greater than 3000 is 27 + 27 = 54 But, 3222 and 4222 is not possible as there are only two 2's (given), 3333 is also not possible as there are only two 3's (given) The total number of numbers that are greater than 3000 is 54 - 3 = 51. 52 54
