Q:

In a 100 m race, A can give B 10 m and C 28 m. In the same race B can give C:

A) 18 m B) 20 m
C) 27m D) 9 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20 m

Explanation:

A : B = 100 : 90.

 

A : C = 100 : 72.

 

B:C = B/A*A/C = 90/100*100/72 = 90/72

 

When B runs 90 m, C runs 72 m.

 

When B runs 100 m, C runs (72/90*100)m = 80m

 

 B can give C 20 m.

Q:

What is the sum of all 3 digits number that can be formed using digits 0,1,2,3,4,5 with no repitition ?

A) 28450 B) 26340
C) 32640 D) 36450
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 32640

Explanation:

We know that zero can't be in hundreds place. But let's assume that our number could start with zero.

 

The formula to find sum of all numbers in a permutation is

 

111 x no of ways numbers can be formed for a number at given position x sum of all given digits

 

No of 1 s depends on number of digits

 

So,the answer us

 

111 x 20 x (0+1+2+3+4+5) = 33300

 

We got 20 as follows. If we have 0 in units place we can form a number in 4*5 ways. This is for all numbers. So we have substituted 20 in formula.

 

Now, this is not the final answer because we have included 0 in hundreds place. so we have to remove the sum of all numbers that starts with 0.

 

This is nothing but the sum of all 2 digits numbers formed by 1 2 3 4 5. Because 0 at first place makes it a 2 digit number.

 

So the sum for this is 11 x 4 x (1+2+3+4+5).
=660

 

Hope u understood why we use 4. Each number can be formed in 4x1 ways

 

So, the final answer is 33300-660 = 32640
