Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

The probability of an impossible event is 0.

The event is known ahead of time to be not possible, therefore by definition in mathematics, the probability is defined to be 0 which means it can never happen.

The probability of a certain event is 1.

Let original length = x and original breadth = y.

Original area = xy.

New length = x/2 and New breadth = 3y.

New area = (x/2 * 3y) = (3/2 )xy

Therefore,  Increase % = [(1/2)xy * (1/xy) * 100] % = 50%

Let the principle amount be Rs. P

Interest rate = 12%

Total amount he paid after 5 years = Rs. 1280

ATQ, 

$$\begin{gathered} P + I = PTR100 + P \\ 1280 = PTR100 + 1 \\ 1280 = P5 x 12100 + 1 \\ 16P10 = 1280 \\ P = 80 x 10 = 800 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the amount he borrowed = P = Rs. 800.

Investments ratio is = 3:1
Time period ratio is = 2:1

As they are proportional to gain

------
Gain ratio of Vishal and raghu = 6:1

But given Raghu got Rs. 4000, 

=? 1 ----- 4000
     7 -----    ?

=> Rs.28,000

The total gain = Rs.28,000

Let number of hit shots be 'X'
Let number of miss shots be 'Y'
Given X + Y = 40....(1)
50X - 10Y = 500.....(2)
Solving 1 and 2, we get
X = 15 and Y = 25
Therefore, number of hits = 15

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.

$$\begin{gathered} 2211 x 75 x 112 \\ => 222 x 75 x 112 \end{gathered}$$

 Total number of prime factors is (22+5+2) = 29

Given A & B in partnership

A Invests 116000 for 12 months 

=> A's share = 116000 x 12 = 13,92,000

B Invests for 6 months

=> B's share = 144000 x 6 = 8,64,000

Their Ratio = 1392 : 864 = 29 : 18

Let the Annual profit = P

Given B's share = Rs. 9000

=> 18/47 x P = 9000

=> P = 9000 x 47/18

=> P = 23,500

Hence, Overall profit = P = Rs. 23,500
