Q:

The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:

A) 153600	B) 143600
C) 13600	D) 16300

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 153600

Explanation:

Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.

Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.

Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.Area = (480 x 320) sq.m = 153600 sq.m

Q:

In how many ways can you choose one or more of 12 different candies?

A) 4054	B) 4050
C) 4095	D) 4059

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4095

Explanation:

Each candy can be dealt with in two ways.It can be chosen or not chosen.This will give 2 possibilites for the first candy, 2 for the second, and so on.by multiplying the cases together we get $2^{12}$ . Since the case of no candy being selected is not an option, we have to subtract 1 from our answer.

Therefore,there are $2^{12}$ - 1 = 4095 ways of selecting one or more candies

Q:

From a deck of 52 cards, a 5 card hand is dealt.How many distinct hands can be formed if there are atleast 2 queens?

A) 103336	B) 120000
C) 108336	D) 108333

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 108336

Explanation:

The total possible cases would be a 5 card hand with no restrictions : $52 C_{5}$ 5

The unwanted cases are:

no queens(out of 48 non-queens cards we get 5) $48 C_{5}$

only 1 queen(out of 4 queens we get 1,and out of 48 non-queens we get 4) $4 C_{1} * 48 C_{4}$

Therefore, $52 C_{5} - (48 C_{5} + 4 C_{1} * 48 C_{4}) = 108336$
