Q:

A problem is given to three students whose chances of solving it are 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 respectively. What is the probability that the problem will be solved?

 A) 1/4 B) 1/2 C) 3/4 D) 7/12

Explanation:

Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and  be the respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event

are independent events

Now,  P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4

$\therefore$ P( none  solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C)

= $P\left(\overline{)A}\cap \overline{)B}\cap \overline{)C}\right)$

= $P\left(\overline{)A}\right)P\left(\overline{)B}\right)P\left(\overline{)C}\right)$

=  $\frac{1}{2}×\frac{2}{3}×\frac{3}{4}$

= $\frac{1}{4}$

Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem)

= $1-\frac{1}{4}$= 3/4

Q:

A clock is set right at 8 a.m. The clock gains 10 minutes in 24 hours will be the true time when the clock indicates 1 p.m. on the following day?

 A) 48 min. past 12. B) 46 min. past 12. C) 45 min. past 12. D) 47 min. past 12.

Explanation:

Time from 8 a.m. on a day to 1 p.m. on the following day = 29 hours.

24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.

$\frac{145}{6}$ hrs of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.

29 hours of this clock = $24*\frac{6}{145}*29$ hrs of the correct clock

= 28 hrs 48 min of the correct clock.

Therefore, the correct time is 28 hrs 48 min. after 8 a.m.

This is 48 min. past 12.

Q:

A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by C in two more days. If they get Rs. 3000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of A, B and C respectively (in Rs):

 A) 200, 250, 300 B) 300, 200, 250 C) 200, 300, 400 D) None of these

Explanation:

A's 5 days work = 50%

B's 5 days work = 33.33%

C's 2 days work = 16.66%     [100- (50+33.33)]

Ratio of contribution of work of A, B and C =  = 3 : 2 : 1

A's total share = Rs. 1500

B's total share = Rs. 1000

C's total share = Rs. 500

A's one day's earning = Rs.300

B's one day's earning = Rs.200

C's one day's earning = Rs.250
