1 is 1

 

4198- 198 is even number , So the unit digit value is 6 

 

612345 - It is always 6

 

34866-  66/4 the remainder is 2 , So the second value is 4

 

2411- 11 is odd number, So the unit digit value is 4

 

1 - It is always 1 


Total = 21

 

Therefore, The unit digit is 1

C) 1/6 D) 1/3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/6

Explanation:

P(X) = 15, P(Y) =14 , P(Z) = 13

 

Required probability:

 

= [ P(A)P(B){1−P(C)} ] + [ {1−P(A)}P(B)P(C) ] + [ P(A)P(C){1−P(B)} ] + P(A)P(B)P(C)

 

=14*13*45+34*13*15+23*14*15+14*13*15

Q:

The ratio of male and female in a city is 7 : 8 respectively and percentage of children among male and female is 25 and 20 respectively. If number of adult females is 156800, what is the total population of the city?

A) 4,12,480 B) 3,67,500
C) 5,44,700 D) 2,98,948
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3,67,500

Explanation:

Let the total population be 'p'

Given ratio of male and female in a city is 7 : 8

In that percentage of children among male and female is 25% and 20%

=> Adults male and female % = 75% & 80%

But given adult females is = 156800

=> 80%(8p/15) = 156800

=> 80 x 8p/15 x 100 = 156800

=> p = 156800 x 15 x 100/80 x 8

=> p = 367500

Therefore, the total population of the city = p = 367500
