C) 243 D) 900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 243

Explanation:

Digits are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. So no. of digits are 10

 

First all possible case => 9(0 excluded) x 10 x 10 = 900

 

Second no repetition allowed =>9 x 9 x 8 = 648

 

Third all digits are same => 9 (111,222,333,444,555,666,777,888,999)

 

Three digit numbers where two of the three digits are same = 900 - 648 - 9 = 243 ;

Q:

Two trains are running with speeds 30 kmph and 58 kmph respectively in the same direction. A man in the slower train passes the faster train in 18 seconds. Find the length of the faster train?

A) 105 mts B) 115 mts
C) 120 mts D) 140 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 140 mts

Explanation:

Speeds of two trains = 30 kmph and 58 kmph

=> Relative speed = 58 - 30 = 28 kmph = 28 x 5/18 m/s = 70/9 m/s

Given a man takes time to cross length of faster train = 18 sec

 

Now, required Length of faster train = speed x time = 70/9  x  18 = 140 mts.

Q:

It costs Rs. p each to send the first thousand messsages and Rs. q to send each subsequent one . If r is greater than 1,000, how many Rupees will it cost to send r messages ?

A) 1000 (r - p) + pq B) 1000 p + qr
C) 1000 (r - q) + pr D) 1000(p - q) + qr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1000(p - q) + qr

Explanation:

We need to find the total cost to send r messsages, r > 1000.

The first 1000 messsages will cost Rs.p each (Or) 

The total cost of first 1000 messsages = Rs.1000p

The remaining (r - 1000) messsages will cost Rs.q each (Or)

The cost of the (r - 1000) = Rs.(r - 1000)y

 

Therefore, total cost = 1000p + rq - 1000q

= 1000(p - q) + qr

Q:

A fair coin is tossed 11 times. What is the probability that only the first two tosses will yield heads ?

A) (1/2)^11 B) (9)(1/2)
C) (11C2)(1/2)^9 D) (1/2)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) (1/2)^11

Explanation:

Probability of occurrence of an event, 

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S)


⇒ Probability of getting head in one coin = ½, 

⇒ Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½, 

Hence, 

All the 11 tosses are independent of each other.

∴ Required probability of getting only 2 times heads =122×129=1211
