Q:

What is the Probability of all cars not clashing each other ?

 A) 1/8 B) 0 C) 1/4 D) 1

Explanation:

Non collision can happen only when all the cars move in same direction.

That is either all cars moving in clockwise direction or all cars moving in anti clockwise direction.
P(all cars not colliding)

= P(all cars moving in the same direction)

= P(all cars moving in clockwise direction)  +  P(all cars moving in anticlockwise direction)

= [p(A --> C) x p(C --> B) x p(B --> A)]  +  [p(A --> B) x p(B --> C) x p(C --> A)]

= [1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2] + [1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2]

= 1/8 + 1/8

= 1/4

Q:

Find the Missing Numbers in the given Number Puzzle ?

 A) 169 & 81 B) 67 & 121 C) 64 & 115 D) 70 & 110

Explanation:

Observe that in each column, square of sum of digits in the first row = Respective second row elements.

In the same way, square of sum of digits in the second row = Respective third row elements.

=> $\inline \fn_jvn (6+4)^{2}=10^{2}=100$

=> $\inline \fn_jvn (4+9)^{2}= (13)^{2} =169$

=> $\inline \fn_jvn (8+1)^{2}=9^{2}=81$.
