Q:

Two cards are drawn at random from a well - shuffled pack of 52 cards. what is the probability that either both are red or both are queens?

A) 17/112	B) 55/221
C) 55/121	D) 33/221

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 55/221

Explanation:

n(S) = ${}^{52}C_{2}$ = 1326

Let A = event of getting both red cards

and B = event of getting both queens

then $(A \cap B)$ = event of getting two red queens

n(A) = ${}^{26}C_{2}$ = 325, n(B) = ${}^{4}C_{2}$ = 6

$n (A \cap B) = {}^{2}C_{2} = 1$

$∴ P (A) = \frac{325}{1326}, P (B) = \frac{6}{1326}$

$P (A \cap B) = \frac{1}{1326}$

$∴$ P ( both red or both queens) = $P (A \cup B)$

= $P (A) + P (B) - P (A \cap B) =$ $\frac{325}{1326} + \frac{1}{221} - \frac{1}{1326}$ = $\frac{55}{221}$

Q:

Sravan drove from home to a neighboring town at the speed of 50 km/h and on his returning journey, he drove at the speed of 45 km/h and also took an hour longer to reach home. What distance did he cover?

A) 350 kms	B) 450 kms
C) 900 kms	D) 700 kms

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 900 kms

Explanation:

Let the distance he covered each way = d kms

According to the question,

d/45 - d/50 = 1

=> d = 450 kms.

Hence, the total distance he covered in his way = d + d = 2 d = 2 x 450 = 900 kms.
