Q:

In a History examination, the average for the entire class was 80 marks. If 10% of the students scored 35 marks and 20% scored 90 marks, what was the average marks of the remaining students of the class ?

A) 25 B) 50
C) 75 D) 100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 75

Explanation:

Let the number of students in the class be 100 and let this required average be x.

Then, (10 * 95) + (20 * 90) + (70 * x) = (100 * 80)

=> 70x = 8000 - (950 + 1800) = 5250

=> x = 75.

Q:

What is the probability of getting 53 Mondays in a leap year?

A) 1/7 B) 3/7
C) 2/7 D) 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2/7

Explanation:

1 year = 365 days . A leap year has 366 days

A year has 52 weeks. Hence there will be 52 Sundays for sure.

52 weeks = 52 x 7 = 364days

366 – 364 = 2 days

In a leap year there will be 52 Sundays and 2 days will be left.

These 2 days can be:

1. Sunday, Monday

2. Monday, Tuesday

3. Tuesday, Wednesday

4. Wednesday, Thursday

5. Thursday, Friday

6. Friday, Saturday

7. Saturday, Sunday

Of these total 7 outcomes, the favourable outcomes are 2.

Hence the probability of getting 53 days = 2/7
