Q:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a pole placed on the platform in 47 seconds and 31 seconds respectively. If they cross each other in 33 seconds, what is the ratio of their speeds?

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

Explanation:

Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively
length of train1 = 47x
length of train2 = 31y
Relative speed= x + y
Time taken to cross each other = 33 s
=> 47x+31yx+y= 33
=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)
=> 14x = 2y
=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7

 = 1:7

Q:

In a class, there are 15 boys and 10 girls. Three students are selected at random. The probability that 1 girl and 2 boys are selected, is:

A) 21/46 B) 1/5
C) 3/25 D) 1/50
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 21/46

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space and E be the event of selecting 1 girl and 2 boys.

 

Then, n(S) = Number ways of selecting 3 students out of 25

 

                = 25C3  = 2300.

 

         n(E)= 10C1*15C2 = 1050. 

 

P(E) = n(E)/n(s) = 1050/2300 = 21/46
