A) 1/15 B) 1/221
C) 25/57 D) 35/256
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/221

Explanation:

 Let S be the sample space

 

Then, n(S) = 52C2= 1326.

 

Let E = event of getting 2 kings out of 4.

 

n(E)  = 52*512*1= 6.

 4C2

=>4*32*1

P(E)=n(E)n(S)=61326=1221

Q:

Mark the odd man out in the given number series

24.3, 23.1, 20.7, 17.1, 12.4

A) 12.4 B) 17.1
C) 20.7 D) 23.1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12.4

Explanation:

The given series 24.3, 23.1, 20.7, 17.1, 12.4 follows a pattern that

24.3

24.3 - 1.2 = 23.1

23.1 - 2.4 = 20.7

20.7 - 3.6 = 17.1

17.1 - 4.8 = 12.3 not 12.4

 

Hence, the odd man or odd number in the given series is 12.4

Q:

What is the place value of 6 in 64?

A) 6 B) 60
C) 64 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

We know that,

● Each digit has a fixed position called its place.

● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit.

● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself

● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).

 

Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.
