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.

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.

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 : 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.

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.

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
