Q:

Two cards are drawn together from a pack of 52 cards. The probability that one is a spade and one is a heart, is:

A) 3/20 B) 29/34
C) 47/100 D) 13/102
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 13/102

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space.

 

Then, n(S) = 52C2=(52 x 51)/(2 x 1) = 1326.

 

Let E = event of getting 1 spade and 1 heart.

 

n(E)= number of ways of choosing 1 spade out of 13 and 1 heart out of 13 = 13C1*13C1 = 169.

 

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 169/1326 = 13/102.

Q:

What is the place value of 6 in 64?

A) 6 B) 60
C) 64 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

We know that,

● Each digit has a fixed position called its place.

● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit.

● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself

● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).

 

Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.
