Answer : 3. "9 & 21"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 9 & 21 Explanation: Let the two numbers be x and y Given x : y = 3 : 7 .....(1) Now, x+6 : y+6 = 5 : 9 .....(2) From (1), x = 3y/7 From (2), 5y - 9x = 24 => 5y - 9(3y/7) = 24 => y = 21 => From(1), x = 9 Hence, the two numbers be 9 and 21

Answer : 2. "32"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 32 Explanation: Here the given series follows a pattern that, 22 - 0 = 4 32 - 1 = 8 42 - 2 = 14 52 - 3 = 22 62 - 4 = 32 Hence, the missing number is 32 Method 2 :: The difference between 4 and 8 is 4, the difference between 8 and 14 is 6, the difference between 14 and 22 is 8. So the next difference between 22 and the next number will be 10 since it follows (4,6,8,10 - add +2 each time) Hence, 22 + 10 = 32 is the missing number.

Answer : 2. "531"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 531 Explanation: Given in the question that, there are 7 boys and 6 girls. Team members = 5 Now, required number of ways in which a team of 5 having atleast 3 girls in the team = 6C3 x 7C2 + 6C4 x 7C1 + 6C5= 6x5x43x2x1 x 7x62x1 + 6x5x4x34x3x2x1 x 7 + 6x5x4x3x25x4x3x2x1= 420 + 105 + 6= 531.
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. 2160 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

Answer : 1. "Rs. 1033.33"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 1033.33 Explanation: Let P's capital = p, Q's capital = q and R's capital = r.Then 6p = 8q = 12r=> 3p = 4q = 6r=>q = 3p/4r = 3p/6 = p/2P : Q : R = p : 3p/4 : p/2= 4 : 3 : 2R's share = 4650 * (2/9) = 150*6 = Rs. 1033.33.

Answer : 3. "70%"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 70% Explanation: Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420. New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125New S.P. = Rs. 420. Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295 Required percentage = (295/420) * 100 = 70%(approx)
