Answer

Actual average salary of 12 officers = 400


\inline \fn_jvn \therefore Total salary of 12 officers = 400 x 12 = 4800


Average of these 12  officers as a whole =60


Total salary of 12 officers as a whole = 60 x 12 = 720


The total salary of rest  = 4800 - 720 = 4080


Difference in average of the rest of officers  = 60 - 56 = 4


Rest of the officers = \inline \fn_jvn \frac{4080}{4}=1020


Total number of employees = 1020 + 12 = 1032

A) 1/3 B) 2/3
C) 2/5 D) 4/15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1/3

Explanation:

Here Sample space S = { HH, HT, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 }

 

Let A be the event that the die shows a number greater than 4 and B be the event that the first throw of the coin results in a tail then,

 

 A = { T5, T6 }

 

 B = { T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 }

 

Therefore, Required probability = PAB=PA∩BPB=2868=13

A) 125 B) 155
C) 135 D) 165
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 165

Explanation:

Ratio C1:C2 = 3:5 and C2:C3 = 7:11
So C1:C2:C3 = 21 : 35 : 55
Let the strength of three classes are 21x, 35x and 55x respectively, then
Given that 21x + 35x + 55x = 333
=> 111x = 333 or x=3
So strength of the class with highest number of students =55x = 55x3 = 165.
