We know that:

When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards

The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52

We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards
⇒ The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26

Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S)

∴ required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.

what is 70 of 50 means 70% of 50

$$\begin{gathered} ⇒70 x 50100 \\ = 7 x 5 \\ = 35 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 70 of 50 is 35.

Let 28x+1426=3×718

Then 28x=2154-1426 

⇒28x=728 ⇒x=26

∴x=676

As in this problem , buying any fruit is different case , as buying apple is independent from buying banana. so ADDITION rule will be used.

C19+C18+C16 = 23 will be answer.

A number is divisible by 9 only if the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 9.

Here 86236 = 8 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 25

We must add 2 to 25 to become 27 which is divisible by 9.

$$\begin{gathered} log3437 \\ log737 \\ 13log77 \\ We know that logxx = 1 \\ => 13 \end{gathered}$$

1 2 3 4 5 6(Shankar) 7(Nitu) 8(Althaf) 9 10 11 12 13 14
Here, Althaf is 8th from front, Shankar is 9th from rear end and Nitu is between them
So minimum no. of boys standing in the queue = 14
