Q:

Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner and outer circumference of the ring are 352/7 m and 528/7m respectively.Find the width of the ring.

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

Explanation:

let the inner and outer radii be r and R meters
then, 2πr = 352/7

 

=> r = (352/7) * (7/22) * (1/2) = 8m
2πR = 528/7

 

=> R= (528/7) * (7/22) * (1/2)= 12m
width of the ring = R-r = 12-8 = 4m

Q:

There are eight boxes of chocolates, each box containing distinct number of chocolates from 1 to 8. In how many ways four of these boxes can be given to four persons (one boxes to each) such that the first person gets more chocolates than each of the three, the second person gets more chocolates than the third as well as the fourth persons and the third person gets more chocolates than fourth person? 

A) 70 B) 40
C) 72 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 70

Explanation:

All the boxes contain distinct number of chocolates.
For each combination of 4 out of 8 boxes, the box with the greatest number has to be given to the first person, the box with the second highest to the second person and so on.

 

The number of ways of giving 4 boxes to the 4 person is: 8C4= 70

Q:

A tea expert claims that he can easily find out whether milk or tea leaves were added first to water just by tasting the cup of tea. In order to check this claims 10 cups of tea are prepared, 5 in one way and 5 in other. Find the different possible ways of presenting these 10 cups to the expert.

A) 340 B) 210
C) 290 D) 252
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 252

Explanation:

Since there are 5 cups of each kind,prepared with milk or tea leaves added first,are identical hence,total number of different people ways of presenting the cups to the expert is 10!/(5! x 5!)= 252

Q:

In measuring the sides of a rectangle, one side is taken 5% in excess and the other 4% in deficit. Find the error percent in the area, calculate from the those measurements.

A) .7% B) 0.8%
C) 0.9% D) 0.3%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0.8%

Explanation:

let x and y be the sides of the rectangle then 

correct area =105100x×96100y 

 

Error% = 504500xy-xy=4500xy %

 

4500xy×1xy×100=45=0.8

Q:

In how many ways can the letters of the word EDUCATION be rearranged so that the relative position of the vowels and consonants remain the same as in the word EDUCATION?

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

Explanation:

The word EDUCATION is a 9 letter word, with none of the letters repeating.

The vowels occupy 3rd,5th,7th and 8th position in the word and the remaining 5 positions are occupied by consonants

As the relative position of the vowels and consonants in any arrangement should remain the same as in the word EDUCATION, the vowels can occupy only the afore mentioned 4 places and the consonants can occupy1st,2nd,4th,6th and 9th positions.

The 4 vowels can be arranged in the 3rd,5th,7th and 8th position in 4! Ways.

Similarly, the 5 consonants can be arranged in1st,2nd,4th,6th and 9th position in5! Ways.

Hence, the total number of ways = 4! × 5!

Q:

Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner and outer circumferences of ring are  5187m and 3527 m respectively. Find the width of the ring.

A) 4 B) 5
C) 6 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4

Explanation:

Let the inner and outer radii be r and R metres.

 

Then  2πR=3527=>R=3527*722*12=8m 

 

 2πR=5287=>R=5287*722*12=12m

 

=> Width of the ring = (R - r) = (12 - 8) m = 4 m.

Q:

In how many ways can 5 different toys be packed in 3 identical boxes such that no box is empty, if any of the boxes may hold all of the toys?

A) 15 B) 10
C) 25 D) 20
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 25

Explanation:

The toys are different; The boxes are identical
If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the toys in one of the following ways
a. 2,2,1
b. 3,1,1

Case a. Number of ways of achieving the first option 2−2–1

Two toys out of the 5 can be selected in5C2 5 ways. Another 2 out of the remaining 3 can be selected in3C2 ways and the last toy can be selected in 1C1  way.

However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two toys and which one holds the second set of two toys will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2.

Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2−2–1 option is:

5C2*3C22=10*32=15 ways.

Case b. Number of ways of achieving the second option 3−1–1

Three toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C3  ways. As the boxes are identical, the remaining two toys can go into the two identical looking boxes in only one way.
Therefore, total number of ways of getting the 3−1–1 option is5C3=10 ways.

Total ways in which the 5 toys can be packed in 3 identical boxes
=number of ways of achieving Case a + number of ways of achieving Case b
=15 + 10 = 25 ways
