Q:

Find the number of bricks, each measuring 24 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm, required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8m high and 60 cm thick, if 10% of the wall is filled with mortar?

A) 35000 B) 45000
C) 55000 D) 65000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45000

Explanation:

Volume of the wall = (2400 x 800 x 60)  cu.cm  

 

Volume of bricks   = 90% of the volume of the wall 

= [(90/100) x 2400 x 800 x 60] cu.cm  

 

Volume of 1 brick = (24 x 12 x 8)  cu.cm 

 

Number of bricks = [(90/100) x (2400 x 800 x 60) ]/ (24 x 12 x 8) = 45000

Q:

In a charity show tickets numbered consecutively from 101 through 350 are placed in a box. What is the probability that a ticket selected at random (blindly) will have a number with a hundredth digit of 2?

A) 0.25 B) 0.5
C) 0.75 D) 0.40
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0.40

Explanation:

250 numbers between 101 and 350 i.e. n(S)=250

n(E)=100th digits of 2 = 299−199 = 100

P(E)= n(E)/n(S) = 100/250 = 0.40

Q:

A box contains 100 balls, numbered from 1 to 100. If three balls are selected at random and with replacement from the box, what is the probability that the sum of the three numbers on the balls selected from the box will be odd?

A) 1/6 B) 1/3
C) 1/2 D) 1/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/2

Explanation:

P(odd) = P (even) =12 1(because there are 50 odd and 50 even numbers)

 

Sum or the three numbers can be odd only under the following 4 scenarios:

 

Odd + Odd + Odd = 12*12*1218

 

Odd + Even + Even = 12*12*12=18

 

Even + Odd + Even = 12*12*12=18

 

Even + Even + Odd = 12*12*12 = 18

 

Other combinations of odd and even will give even numbers. 

 

Adding up the 4 scenarios above:

 

1818+1818 = 48 = 12

Q:

A bag contains 12 white and 18 black balls. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement. What is the probability that first is white and second is black?

A) 6/145 B) 36/145
C) 18/95 D) 12/145
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36/145

Explanation:
 

The probability that first ball is white:
=C112C130=1230=25


Since, the ball is not replaced; hence the number of balls left in bag is 29.
Hence the probability the second ball is black:
=C118C129=1829


Required probability =(25)×(1829)


=36/145

Q:

Three houses are available in a locality. Three persons apply for the houses. Each applies for one house without consulting others. The probability that all the three apply for the same house is :

A) 2/9 B) 1/9
C) 8/9 D) 7/9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/9

Explanation:

One person can select one house out of 3= 3C1 ways =3.

 

Hence, three persons can select one house out of 3 in 3 x 3 x 3 =9.

 

Therefore, probability that all thre apply for the same house is 1/9
