Q:

5 men and 4 women are to be seated in a row so that the women occupy the even places . How many such arrangements are possible?

 A) 2880 B) 1440 C) 720 D) 2020

Explanation:

There are total 9 places out of which 4 are even and rest 5 places are odd.

4 women can be arranged at 4 even places in 4! ways.

and 5 men can be placed in remaining 5 places in 5! ways.

Hence, the required number of permutations  = 4! x 5! = 24 x 120 = 2880

Q:

A vessel contains 20 liters of a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 3:2. 10 liters of the mixture are removed and replaced with an equal quantity of pure milk. If the process is repeated once more, find the ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained ?

 A) 5:3 B) 1:4 C) 4:1 D) 9:1

Explanation:

Milk = 3/5 x 20 = 12 liters, water = 8 liters

If 10 liters of mixture are removed, amount of milk removed = 6 liters and amount of water removed = 4 liters.

Remaining milk = 12 - 6 = 6 liters

Remaining water = 8 - 4 = 4 liters

10 liters of pure milk are added, therefore total milk = (6 + 10) = 16 liters.

The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 16:4 = 4:1

If the process is repeated one more time and 10 liters of the mixture are removed,
then amount of milk removed = 4/5 x 10 = 8 liters.

Amount of water removed = 2 liters.

Remaining milk = (16 - 8) = 8 liters.

Remaining water = (4 -2) = 2 liters.

Now 10 lts milk is added => total milk = 18 lts

The required ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained

= (8 + 10):2 = 18:2 = 9:1.

Q:

The calendar for the year 1988 is same as which upcoming year ?

 A) 2012 B) 2014 C) 2016 D) 2010

 A) 105 B) 7! x 6! C) 7!/5! D) 420

Explanation:

Choose 1 person for the single room & from the remaining choose 2 for the double room & from the remaining choose 4 people for the four person room,

Then, 7C1 x 6C2 x 4C

= 7 x 15 x 1 = 105

 A) 7 lts B) 14 lts C) 98 lts D) 42 lts

Explanation:

To know the the measuring cylinder that can fill all the given capacities , they must be divisible by the required number.

98,182,266 all are divisible by 14
So  14 litres  is the largest cylinder that can fill all the given cylinders.

(or)

The other method is take HCF of all given capacities i.e 98, 182 and 266.
