Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

The solution to this problem involves calculating a factorial. Since we want to know how 13 cards can be arranged, we need to compute the value for 13 factorial.

13! = (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) = 6,227,020,800

Given that, upstream distance = 7 kms

Upstream speed = 7/42 x 60 = 10 kms

Speed of the stream = 3 kmph

Let speed in still water = M kmph, then

Upstream speed = M - 3 = 10

=> M = 13 kmph.

If John must be on the committee,we have 11 students remaining,out of which we choose 4. So,11C4

We know that:

When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards

The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52

We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards
⇒ The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26

Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S)

∴ required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.
