Q:

fifteen persons are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. What is the probability that three particular persons sit together ?

A) 3/91 B) 2/73
C) 1/91 D) 3/73
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3/91

Explanation:

In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!
Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !
Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)
Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!
In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =
n(E) = 12! X 3!
Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!
= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Q:

The age of Sohail, Afzal and Bilal are 17,16 and 12 respectively. If the age of Aslam also included the average of the ages is increased by 5. What is the age of Aslam?

A) 32 B) 33
C) 34 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 35

Explanation:

Given S = 17 yrs

A = 16 yrs

B = 12 yrs

Average = 17 + 16 + 12/3 = 15 yrs

Given if Aslam added to them, their average increases by 5

=> Average of 4 members = 20

Let the age of Aslam be 'x'

Then, 

17 + 16 + 12 + x /4 = 20

=> x = 80 - 45

=> x = 35. 

 

Hence, the age of Aslam is 35 yrs.
