Average speed=total distance/total time
Let distance to store be  K
then, total time =(K/20)+(K/30)=K/12
and, total time =(2K)
so average speed= 2K / (K/12) = 24kmph.

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

If there are total 100 candidates,
40 candidates are really capable and
60 candidates are incapable.
Of the candidates who are really capable = 80%
40*(80/100)=32 pass the test and
of the incapable= 30%
60*(30/100)=18 pass the test.
Total candidates who passed the test = 32+18 = 50
The proportion of the really capable students who can pass the test to the total students who can pass = 32/50 = 16/25.

Total cost = deposit + instalment amount × number of instalments

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

Given that,

1st train speed = 62 km/hr 

2nd train speed  = 44 km/hr

Hence the relative speed of two trains is : 62-44 = 18 km/hr = 18×518 m/s = 5 m/s.

There fore, the first train crosses the second train i.e (85+75)mts of distance with a speed of 5m/s in, 

time = distancespeed = 85+755 = 32 sec.

Cost of Rs. 100 stock  = Rs. (100+4) = Rs.104

Cost of Rs. 4500 stock =Rs.104100×4500 = Rs. 4680
