Q:

92613 x 62742241 = ? + 89

Find the value of '?'

A) 166251 B) 166259
C) 166252 D) 166253
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 166252

Explanation:

Given 92613 x 62742241 = ? + 89

 

Using unit digit method,

 

On LHS,

 

1 x 1 x 1 = 1

 

sqrt of last digit 1 => it must end with either 9 or 1

 

so now

 

1 x 1 = 1

 

1 x 9 = 9

 

On RHS,

 

? + 89

 

=> ? = ...1 - 89 = last digit is 11- 9 = 2

 

or

 

=> ? = ...9 - 89 = last digit is 9 - 9 = 0

 

Here in the options last digit 2 is option C.

Q:

A problem is given to three students whose chances of solving it are 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 respectively. What is the probability that the problem will be solved?

A) 1/4 B) 1/2
C) 3/4 D) 7/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3/4

Explanation:

Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and A , B, C be the respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event

A, B, C are independent events

Now,  P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4

 PA=12, PB=23, PC= 34

 P( none  solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C)  

                  = PABC 

                  = PAPBPC          A, B, C are Independent                       

                  =  12×23×34  

                  = 14  

Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem) 

                = 1-14= 3/4
