Answer : 4. "0.375 & 0.1"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 0.375 & 0.1 Explanation: 3/8 as a Decimal : In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple. Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125 => 3 x 1258 x 125 = 3751000 = 0.375 1/10 as a Decimal : 1 divided into 10 parts of each 0.1. Therefore, 3/8 = 0.375 and 1/10 = 0.1 in decimals.
Q: On a school’s Annual day sweets were to be equally distributed amongst 112 children. But on that particular day, 32 children were absent. Thus the remaining children got 6 extra sweets. How many sweets was each child originally supposed to get ? 2017 05b5cc741e4d2b4197774f9a4

Answer : 4. "15"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 15 Explanation: Let 'K' be the total number of sweets.Given total number of students = 112If sweets are distributed among 112 children,Let number of sweets each student gets = 'L' => K/112 = L ....(1)But on that day students absent = 32 => remaining = 112 - 32 = 80Then, each student gets '6' sweets extra. => K/80 = L + 6 ....(2)from (1) K = 112L substitute in (2), we get112L = 80L + 48032L = 480L = 15 Therefore, 15 sweets were each student originally supposed to get.
Q: If two cards are taken one after another without replacing from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability for the two cards be Ace ? 2017 05b5cc74ae4d2b4197774fa81

Answer : 3. "1/221"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 1/221 Explanation: Total Combination of getting a card from 52 cards = C152 Because there is no replacement, so number of cards after getting first card= 51 Now, Combination of getting an another card= C151 Total combination of getting 2 cards from 52 cards without replacement= (C152×C151) There are total 4 Ace in stack. Combination of getting 1 Ace is = C14 Because there is no replacement, So number of cards after getting first Ace = 3 Combination of getting an another Ace = C13 Total Combination of getting 2 Ace without replacement=C14×C13 Now,Probability of getting 2 cards which are Ace =C14×C13C152×C151 = 1/221.

Answer : 3. "81"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 81 Explanation: The series follows the following pattern. 4 16 = 42 37 = 12+62 58 = 32+72 81 ≠52+82. Here every number is based on the digits of previous number. Hence, 81 is the wrong number in the given series.

Answer : 1. "84 km/hr"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 84 km/hr Explanation: Let the speeds of the car, train and bus be 5x, 9x and 4x km/hr respectively.Average speed = 5x + 9x + 4x/3 = 18x /3 = 6x km/hr.Also, 6x = 72 => x = 12 km/hrTherefore, the average speed of the car and train together is = 5x+9x2= 7x = 7 x 12 = 84 km/hr.
Q: There are 5 consecutive odd numbers. If the difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last two odd numbers is 396, what is the smallest odd number? 2011 05b5cc6aee4d2b4197774d165

Answer : 1. "29"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 29 Explanation: Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4 According to the question, Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last two odd numbers is 396 i.e, x+3 and x-3 ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396⇒ 12x = 396⇒ x = 33 Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.
Q: A bag contains 4 red and 3 black balls. A second bag contains 2 red and 4 black balls. One bag is selected at random. From the selected bag, one ball is drawn. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red. 2010 05b5cc7d0e4d2b4197775121d

Answer : 2. "19/42"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 19/42 Explanation: A red ball can be drawn in two mutually exclusive ways (i) Selecting bag I and then drawing a red ball from it. (ii) Selecting bag II and then drawing a red ball from it. Let E1, E2 and A denote the events defined as follows: E1 = selecting bag I, E2 = selecting bag II A = drawing a red ball Since one of the two bags is selected randomly, therefore P(E1) = 1/2 and P(E2) = 1/2 Now, PAE1 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the first bag has been selected = 4/7 PAE2 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the second bag has been selected = 2/6 Using the law of total probability, we have P(red ball) = P(A) = PE1×PAE1+PE2×PAE2 = 12×47+12×26=1942
