A) He Gained Rs. 200 B) He lost Rs. 200

Q:

A) 36 yrs B) 38 yrs
C) 40 yrs D) 42 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40 yrs

Explanation:

Let the mother's present age be x years.

Then, the person's present age = 2/5 x years.

(2x/5 + 8) = 1/2 (x + 8)

2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8) => x = 40.

Q:

For any two numbers m , n ; (m+n) : (m-n) : mn = 7: 1: 60 . Find the value of 1/m : 1/n

A) 4:3 B) 8:7
C) 3:4 D) 7:8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3:4

Explanation:

m+nm-n=7xx ⇒mn=4x3x  

 

Again   mn=12x2 

 

and         mn =60x  

 

so, 60x=12x2 ⇒x=5    

 

=>  m= 20  and    n= 15

 

Hence,    1m:1n=120:115=3:4

Q:

What is the probability of getting at least one six in a single throw of three unbiased dice?

A) 1/36 B) 91/256
C) 13/256 D) 43/256
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 91/256

Explanation:

Find the number of cases in which none of the digits show a '6'.

i.e. all three dice show a number other than '6', 5×5×5=125 cases.

Total possible outcomes when three dice are thrown = 216.

The number of outcomes in which at least one die shows a '6' = Total possible outcomes when three dice are thrown - Number of outcomes in which none of them show '6'.

=216−125=91

The required probability = 91/256
