Explanation:

Total number of elementary events = 50C5
Given,third ticket =30

 

 

 

=> first and second should come from tickets numbered 1 to 29 = 29C2 ways and remaining two in 20C2 ways.

 

 

 

Therfore,favourable number of events = 29C2*20C2

 

 

 

Hence,required probability = 29C2*20C2/50C5 =551 / 15134

Q:

If goods be purchased for Rs.450 and 1/3 is sold at a loss of 10%. At what gain % should the remainder is sold to has to gain 20% on the whole transaction?

A) 35% B) 28%
C) 22% D) 19%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 35%

Explanation:

Given the cost price of the articles = Rs. 450

To get overall 20% gain,

Total Selling Price = (20/100) x 450 = 540


One third of the CP = 1/3 x 450 = Rs. 150

But given 1/3 of articles are sold at 10% loss

S.P of 1/3 of articles = 90% of 150

= 90 x 150/100 = 135

 

Then, S.P on remaining 2/3 goods must be

= 450 - 135 = 405 ...........(1)

CP on remaining goods

= 2/3 x 450 = 300 ............(2)


Profit = SP - CP = 405 - 300 = 105


Profit %  = (105/300) x 100

= 35%.

A) 60 B) 70

Let A's 1 day's work=x and B's 1 day's work=y

Then x+y = 1/40 and 20x+60y=1 

Solving these two equations , we get : x= 1/80 and y= 1/80

Therefore B's  1 day work = 1/80

Hence,B alone shall finish the whole work in 80 days
