A bag contains 6 black and 8 white balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is white?
Let number of balls = (6 + 8) = 14.
Number of white balls = 8.
P (drawing a white ball) = 8 /14 = 4/7.

What value will come in place of question mark (?) in following number series?
12, 16, 32, 68, ?
Given series is
12 16 32 68 ?
Here it follows a pattern that,
12
12 + (2x2) = 16
16 + (4x4) = 32
32 + (6x6) = 68
68 + (8x8) = 132
194, 194, 191, 183, 168, ?
Find the next number in the above series?
Here the series follows,
194
194 - (1x1 - 1) = 194
194 - (2x2 - 1) = 191
191 - (3x3 - 1) = 183
183 - (4x4 - 1) = 168
168 - (5x5 - 1) = 144
Find the missing number in the given number series?
514, 470, ?, 415, 404
Given number series is 514 470 ? 415 404
Here the pattern it follows is
514
514 - 44 = 470
470 - 33 = 437
437 - 22 = 415
415 - 11 = 404
Hence, the missing number in the given number series is 437.
39 persons can repair a road in 12 days, working 5 hours a day. In how many days will 30 persons, working 6 hours a day, complete the work?
Let the required number of days be x.
Less persons, More days (Indirect Proportion)
More working hours per day, Less days (Indirect Proportion)
Persons30:39Working hours/day6:5⋮⋮ 12:x
=> 30 * 6 * x = 39 * 5 * 12
=> x= 13
The greatest number which on dividing 1657 and 2037 leaves remainders 6 and 5 respectively, is:
Required number = H.C.F. of (1657 - 6) and (2037 - 5)
= H.C.F. of 1651 and 2032 = 127.
At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but,not together?
When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.Minute hand will have to gain only 5 min. spaces.55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
5 min spaces are gained in 6055*5 min = 5511min
so, Required time = 5511 min past 7
On what dates of April, 2001 did Wednesday fall?
We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001.
1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days 0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0
On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday.
In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.
