Q:

Sum of present ages of P and Q is 41. Age of P 2 year hence is equal to age of R, 1 year ago. Age of P, 4 year hence is equal to age of Q 1 year ago and ratio of present age of P and S is 3 : 4. Find the difference of age of R and S. 

A) 2 B) 3
C) 4 D) 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3

Explanation:

According to the given data,

P + Q = 41 ......(1)

R - 1 = P + 2

R = P + 3

and

P + 4 = Q - 1

=> Q = P + 5 ....(2)

From (1)&(2)

P = 18

Q = 18 + 5 = 23

R = 18 + 3 = 21

=> P/S = 3/4

=> S = 4/3 x 18 = 24

Required Difference = S - R = 24 - 21 = 3.

Q:

The first 8 alphabets are written down at random. what is the probability that the letters b,c,d,e always come together ?

A) 1/7 B) 8!
C) 7! D) 1/14
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1/14

Explanation:

The 8 letters can be written in 8! ways.
n(S) = 8!
Let E be the event that the letters b,c,d,e always come together when the first 8 alphabets are written down.
Now the letters a, (bcde), f, g and h can be arranged in 5! ways.
The letters b,c,d and e can be arranged themselves in 4! ways.
n(E) = 5! x 4!
Now, the required P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 5! x 4!/8! = 1/14
Hence the answer is 1/14.
