Q:

The average of runs of a cricket player of 10 innings was 32. How many runs must he make in his next innings so as to increase his average of runs by 4 ?

A) 76 B) 79
C) 85 D) 87
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 76

Explanation:

Average = total runs / no.of innings = 32 

So, total = Average x no.of innings = 32 x 10 = 320.

 

Now increase in avg = 4runs. So, new avg = 32+4 = 36runs 

Total runs = new avg x new no. of innings = 36 x 11 = 396 

Runs made in the 11th inning = 396 - 320 = 76

3 + 1 x 11 = 3 + 11 = 14

14 + 2 x 11 = 14 + 22 = 36

36 + 3 x 11 = 36 + 33 = 69

69 + 4 x 11 = 69 + 44 = 113

Q:

Two cards are drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards.what is the probability that either both are black or both are queen?

A) 52/221 B) 55/190
C) 55/221 D) 19/221
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 55/221

Explanation:

We have n(s) =52C2 52 = 52*51/2*1= 1326. 

Let A = event of getting both black cards 

     B = event of getting both queens 

A∩B = event of getting queen of black cards 

n(A) = 52*512*1 = 26C2 = 325, n(B)= 26*252*1= 4*3/2*1= 6  and  n(A∩B) = 4C2 = 1 

P(A) = n(A)/n(S) = 325/1326;

P(B) = n(B)/n(S) = 6/1326 and 

P(A∩B) = n(A∩B)/n(S) = 1/1326 

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) = (325+6-1) / 1326 = 330/1326 = 55/221

Q:

What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following question?

52000 ÷ 40 ÷ 65 × 30 = ? - √400

A) 580 B) 620
C) 720 D) 780
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 620

Explanation:

52000 ÷ 40 ÷ 65 × 30 = ? - √400

(52000 ÷ 40) ÷ 65 × 30 = ? - 20

(1300 ÷ 65) × 30 = ? - 20

20 × 30 = ? - 20

600 = ? - 20

? = 620
