Q:

How many ways are there to deal a five-card hand consisting of three eight's and two sevens?

A) 36	B) 72
C) 24	D) 16

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 24

Explanation:

If a card hand that consists of four Queens and an Ace is rearranged, nothing has changed.

The hand still contains four Queens and an Ace. Thus, use the combination formula for problems with cards.

We have 4 eights and 4 sevens.

We want 3 eights and 2 sevens.

C(have 4 eights, want 3 eights) x C(have 4 sevens, want 2 sevens)

C(4,3) x C(4,2) = 24

Therefore there are 24 different ways in which to deal the desired hand.

Q:

The dimensions of an open box are 50 cm, 40 cm and 23 cm. Its thickness is 2 cm. If 1 cubic cm of metal used in the box weighs 0.5 gms, find the weight of the box.

A) 8.04kg	B) 8.14kg
C) 8.24kg	D) 9.04kg

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8.04kg

Explanation:

Volume of the metal used in the box = External Volume - Internal Volume

= [(50 x 40 x 23) - (44 x 34 x 20)] cu.cm

= 16080 cu.cm

Weight of the metal =[(16080 x 0.5)/1000] kg = 8.04 kg.

Q:

What is the total surface area of a right circular cone of height 14 cm and base radius 7 cm?

A) 344.35 sq.cm	B) 462 sq.cm
C) 498.35 sq.cm	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 498.35 sq.cm

Explanation:

h = 14 cm, r = 7 cm.

So, l = $[\sqrt{7^{2} + 14^{2}}] = \sqrt{245} = 7 \sqrt{5} c m$

Total surface area = $πrl + {πr}^{2}$ = $\frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \sqrt{5} + \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7$

= $154 (\sqrt{5} + 1)$

= (3.236 x 154) sq.cm

= 498.35 sq.cm

Q:

The curved surface area of a cylindrical pillar is 264 sq.m and its volume is 924 cub.m. Find the ratio of its diameter to its height

A) 3 : 7	B) 7 : 3
C) 6 : 7	D) 7 : 6

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7 : 3

Explanation:

$\frac{{πr}^{2 h}}{2 {πr}^{2 h}} = \frac{924}{264}$

=> r = (24/364) x 2 = 7m

$2 πrh = 264 \Rightarrow h = (264 \times \frac{7}{22} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{7}) = 6 m$

Required Rato =2r/h =14/6 = 7:3

Q:

The least number of complete years in which a sum of money put out at 20% compound interest will be more than doubled is:

A) 3	B) 4
C) 5	D) 6

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4

Explanation:

$P {(1 + \frac{20}{100})}^{n} > 2 P \Leftrightarrow {(\frac{6}{5})}^{n} > 2$

$(\frac{6}{5} \times \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{6}{5}) > 2$

so, answer is 4 years
