Q:

A student multiplied a number by 3/5 instead of 5/3, What is the percentage error in the calculation ?

A) 54 % B) 64 %
C) 74 % D) 84 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64 %

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Then, ideally he should have multiplied by  x by 5/3. Hence Correct result was x * (5/3)= 5x/3. 

 

By mistake he multiplied x by 3/5 . Hence the result with error  = 3x/5 

Then, error = (5x/3 - 3x/5) = 16x/15 

Error %  = (error/True vaue) * 100 = [(16/15) * x/(5/3) * x] * 100 = 64 %

A) 16 B) 18
C) 20 D) 22
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18

Explanation:

Let S.P. of 45 lemons be Rs. x.

 

Then, 80 : 40 = 120 : x or   x = 40×12080= 60

Q:

A bag contains 6 white and 4 black balls .2 balls are drawn at random. Find the probability that they are of same colour.

A) 1/2 B) 7/15
C) 8/15 D) 1/9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7/15

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space

 

Then n(S) = no of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (6+4) =10C2 10 =10*92*1 =45

 

Let E = event of getting both balls of same colour

 

Then,n(E) = no of ways (2 balls out of six) or (2 balls out of 4)

 

                =6C2+4C2 = 6*52*1+4*32*1= 15+6 = 21

 

Therefore, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 21/45 = 7/15
