Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let S be the sample space. Then,
n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14

= C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001

Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.
Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5)

  ⇒C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11

 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191  

 Required probability = 1-191=9091

As A1 speaks always after A2, they can speak only in  1st  to 9th places and 

A2 can speak in 2nd to 10 the places only when A1 speaks in 1st place 

A2 can speak in 9 places the remaining 

 A3, A4, A5,...A10  has no restriction. So, they can speak in 9.8! ways. i.e

when A2 speaks in the first place, the number of ways they can speak is 9.8!.

When A2 speaks in second place, the number of ways they can speak is  8.8!.

When A2 speaks in third place, the number of ways they can speak is  7.8!. When A2 speaks in the ninth place, the number of ways they can speak is 1.8!

Therefore,Total Number of ways they can  speak = (9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) 8! = 92(9+1)8! = 10!/2

3/15 + 4/16 + x/24 = 1

⇒x=1315

Let Rs. K invested in each scheme

Two years C.I on 20% = 20 + 20 + 20x20/100 = 44%

Two years C.I on 15% = 15 + 15 + 15x15/100 = 32.25%

Now,

(P x 44/100) - (P x 32.25/100) = 528.75

=> 11.75 P = 52875

=> P = Rs. 4500

Hence, total invested money = P + P = 4500 + 4500 = Rs. 9000.

Time from 12 p.m. on Tuesday to 2 p.m. on the following Tuesday = 7 days 2 hours.
= 170 hours.
The watch gains = (2 + 4 x 4/5) min
= 34/5 min. in 170 hrs.
Now, 34/5 min are gained in 170 hrs.
Then, 2 min are gained in (170 x 5/34 x 2) hrs.
Watch is correct after 2 days 2 hrs after 12 p.m. on Tuesday, i.e., it will be correct at 2 p.m. on Thursday.

Required number of ways = 7C5 × 3C2=63
