Answer: A) 55 kms Explanation: Let x and y be the respective km's travelled by man via taxi and by his own car.Given x + y = 90 => x = 90 - yBut according to the question,7x + 6y = 5957(90-y) + 6y = 595=> 630 - 7y + 6y = 595=> y = 630 - 595 = 35=> x = 90 - 35 = 55Therefore, the distance travelled by taxi is 55 kms.

Answer : 3. "(24-1)(23-1)25"
Explanation :

Answer: C) C Explanation: It is explicitly given that all the 4 black balls are different, all the 3 red balls are different and all the 5 blue balls are different. Hence this is a case where all are distinct objects.   Initially let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the black balls. Note that at least 1 black ball must be included in each selection.   Hence, we can select 1 black ball from 4 black ballsor 2 black balls from 4 black balls.or 3 black balls from 4 black balls.or 4 black balls from 4 black balls.   Hence, number of ways in which we can select the black balls   = 4C1 + 4C2 + 4C3 + 4C4= 24-1 ........(A)   Now let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the red balls. Note that at least 1 red ball must be included in each selection.   Hence, we can select 1 red ball from 3 red ballsor 2 red balls from 3 red ballsor 3 red balls from 3 red balls   Hence, number of ways in which we can select the red balls= 3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3=23-1........(B)   Hence, we can select 0 blue ball from 5 blue balls (i.e, do not select any blue ball. In this case, only black and red balls will be there)or 1 blue ball from 5 blue ballsor 2 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 3 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 4 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 5 blue balls from 5 blue balls.   Hence, number of ways in which we can select the blue balls= 5C0 + 5C1 + 5C2 + … + 5C5= 25..............(C)   From (A), (B) and (C), required number of ways=  2524-123-1

Answer : 3. "3"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 3 Explanation: When 16nis divided by 9, we have  1619, remainder = 7   1629, remainder = 4  1639, remainder = 1  1649, remainder = 7  1659, remainder = 4  1669, remainder = 1  So, we have cyclicity of 3 factors i.e 7,4,1.  Hence only 3 remainders are possible.
