Q:

A bag contains 2 red, 3 green and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that none of the balls drawn is blue?

A) 10/21	B) 11/21
C) 1/2	D) 2/7

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10/21

Explanation:

Total number of balls = (2 + 3 + 2) = 7.

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(S) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7 = $7 C_{2}$ = 21

Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue.

n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 + 3) balls = $5 C_{2}$ = 10

Therefore, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 10/ 21.

Q:

In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?

A) 1/3	B) 3/5
C) 8/21	D) 7/21

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1/3

Explanation:

Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21.

Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green

= event that the ball drawn is blue.

n(E) = 7.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 7/21 = 1/3.

Q:

Rs.100 doubled in 5 years when compounded annually. How many more years will it take to get another Rs.200 compound interest

A) 3years	B) 5years
C) 6years	D) 7years

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5years

Explanation:

Rs.100 invested in compound interest becomes Rs.200 in 5 years.

The amount will double again in another 5 years.

i.e., the amount will become Rs.400 in another 5 years.

So, to earn another Rs.200 interest, it will take another 5 years.

Q:

The population of a town was 3600 three years back. It is 4800 right now. What will be the population three years down the line, if the rate of growth of population has been constant over the years and has been compounding annually?

A) Rs.600	B) Rs,6400
C) Rs.6500	D) Rs.6600

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs,6400

Explanation:

The population grew from 3600 to 4800 in 3 years. That is a growth of 1200 on 3600 during three year span.

Therefore, the rate of growth for three years has been constant.

The rate of growth during the next three years will also be the same.

Therefore, the population will grow from 4800 by $4800 * \frac{1}{3}$ = 1600

Hence, the population three years from now will be 4800 + 1600 = 6400

Q:

The effective annual rate of interest corresponding to a nominal rate of 6% per annum payable half-yearly is

A) 6.06%	B) 6.07%
C) 6.08%	D) 6.09%

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6.09%

Explanation:

Amount of Rs. 100 for 1 year

when compounded half-yearly = Rs.[100*(1+3/100)^2]=Rs.106.09

Effective rate=(106.09-100)%=6.09%

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
