Answer : 3. "2/21"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 2/21 Explanation: Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles. Probability that both marbles are blue = ³C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (3 x 2)/(15 x 14) = 1/35 Probability that both are yellow = ²C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (2 x 1)/(15 x 14) = 1/105 Probability that one blue and other is yellow = (³C₁ x ²C₁)/¹⁵C₂ = (2 x 3 x 2)/(15 x 14) = 2/35 Required probability = 1/35 + 1/105 + 2/35 = 3/35 + 1/105 = 1/35(3 + 1/3) = 10/(3 x 35) = 2/21

Answer : 4. "1022"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 1022 Explanation: Lowest 4-digit number is 1000.LCM of 3, 4 and 5 is 60.Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40. Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 - 40) = 1020.Now, add the remainder 2 that's required. Thus, the answer is 1022.

Answer : 4. "3 hrs 45 min"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 3 hrs 45 min Explanation: Time taken by one tap to fill half of the tank = 3 hrs. Part filled by the taps in 1 hour = 4 x 1/6 = 2/3 Remaining part = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 2/3 : 1/2 :: 1 : p p = 1/2 x 1 x 3/2 = 3/4 hrs. i.e., 45 min So, total time taken = 3 hrs 45 min.
