Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

The toys are different; The boxes are identical
If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the toys in one of the following ways
a. 2,2,1
b. 3,1,1

Case a. Number of ways of achieving the first option 2−2–1

Two toys out of the 5 can be selected in5C2 5 ways. Another 2 out of the remaining 3 can be selected in3C2 ways and the last toy can be selected in 1C1  way.

However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two toys and which one holds the second set of two toys will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2.

Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2−2–1 option is:

5C2*3C22=10*32=15 ways.

Case b. Number of ways of achieving the second option 3−1–1

Three toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C3  ways. As the boxes are identical, the remaining two toys can go into the two identical looking boxes in only one way.
Therefore, total number of ways of getting the 3−1–1 option is5C3=10 ways.

Total ways in which the 5 toys can be packed in 3 identical boxes
=number of ways of achieving Case a + number of ways of achieving Case b
=15 + 10 = 25 ways

P(black ball)=3/12

P(red ball)=5/12

P(black or red)=3/12+5/12=2/3

The one word substitution for a hater of knowledge and learning is Misologist.

Here, s={H,T} and E={H}
P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 1/2

The pattern 'mpon' is repeated.

Let 'd' be the distance between A and B
K -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hours
L -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hours
We know that, 10 min = 1/6 hours
Thus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes.
=> 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6
=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6
=> 4d/90 = 1/6
Thus,
d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km.

hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km.

A's 1 days work = 1/12 

B's 1 days work =1/6

Therefore, (A+B)'s 1 day's work= 1/12 + 1/6 = 1/4       

Therefore, Time taken by both to finish the whole work = 114 = 4 days

Alternatively :

Efficiency of A =100/12 =8.33%

Efficiency of B =100/6=16.66%

Combined efficiency of A and B both = 8.33+16.66=25%

Therefore, Time taken by both to finish the work (working together) =100/25= 4days

From the given data,

Ratio of capital = 12000 : 14400 = 5 : 6

Required Difference = 

$$\begin{gathered} 6 - 56 + 5 88100 x 7500 + 12100 x 7500 \\ = 111 x 88 x 75 + 12 x 75 \\ = 600 + 900 \\ = 1500 \end{gathered}$$
