Q:

The diameter of the driving wheel of a bus is 140 cm. How many revolution, per minute must the wheel make in order to keep a speed of 66 kmph ?

A) 150 B) 250
C) 350 D) 550
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 250

Explanation:

Circumference = No.of revolutions * Distance covered

 

Distance to be covered in 1 min. = (66 X1000)/60 m = 1100 m.
Circumference of the wheel = 2 x (22/7) x 0.70 m = 4.4 m.
Number of revolutions per min. =(1100/4.4) = 250.

Q:

A bag contains 2 red, 3 green and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that none of the balls drawn is blue?

A) 10/21 B) 11/21
C) 1/2 D) 2/7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10/21

Explanation:

Total number of balls = (2 + 3 + 2) = 7.

 

Let S be the sample space.

 

Then, n(S) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7 =7C2 = 21

 

Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue.

 

n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 + 3) balls =5C2 = 10

 

Therefore, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 10/ 21.

Q:

A bag contains 50 tickets numbered 1,2,3,4......50 of which five are drawn at random and arranged in ascending order of magnitude.Find the probability that third drawn ticket is equal to 30.

A) 551/15134 B) 1/2
C) 552/15379 D) 1/9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 551/15134

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:

A large field of 700 hectares is divided into two parts. The difference of the areas of the two parts is one-fifth of the average of the two areas. What is the area of the smaller part in hectares?

A) 315 B) 385
C) 415 D) 485
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 315

Explanation:

Let the areas of the two parts be x and (700-x) hectares

therefore, x-700-x=15x+700-x2

 2x-700=70

 x=385

So, the two parts are 385 and 315.

 Hence, Area of the smaller = 315 hectares
