Q:

A problem is given to three students whose chances of solving it are 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 respectively. What is the probability that the problem will be solved?

A) 1/4 B) 1/2
C) 3/4 D) 7/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3/4

Explanation:

Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and A , B, C be the respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event

A, B, C are independent events

Now,  P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4

 PA=12, PB=23, PC= 34

 P( none  solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C)  

                  = PABC 

                  = PAPBPC          A, B, C are Independent                       

                  =  12×23×34  

                  = 14  

Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem) 

                = 1-14= 3/4

Q:

Mg+O2=MgO

Balance the above Chemical equation?

A) 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO B) 2Mg + O ----> 2MgO
C) 2Mg + O ----> MgO2 D) 2Mg + O2 ----> MgO2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO

Explanation:

Given Equation is 

Mg + O2  MgO

Balancing the Chemical Equation is nothing but Conservation of Matter. As Matter is Neither created nor Destroyed, it must be conserved.

Here we have 1 Mg and 2 O on the left side and 1 Mg and 1 O on the right side

To balance that, add 1 Mg on the left side so that it becomes 2 Mg and 2 O on the left side

i.e,

2 Mg + O2  2 MgO

Here it has 2 Mg & 2 O on the left side and 2 Mg and 2 O on the right side and the Chemical equation is Balanced.

Q:

In the following number series only one number is wrong. Find out the wrong number ?

6, 15, 35, 63, 143, 221, 323

A) 143 B) 63
C) 323 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 63

Explanation:

Here the series follows the pattern that, product of succesive prime numbers i.e,

 2 × 3 = 6

 3 × 5 = 15

 5 × 7 = 35

 7 × 11 = 77

 11 × 13 = 143

 13 × 17 = 221

 17 × 19 = 323

So here in place of 77 the number 63 is written.

So the wrong number is 63.
