Q:

In a race, the odd favour of cars P,Q,R,S are 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6 respectively. Find the probability that one of them wins the race.

A) 319/420	B) 27/111
C) 114/121	D) 231/420

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 319/420

Explanation:

$P (P) = \frac{1}{4}, P (Q) = \frac{1}{5}, P (R) = \frac{1}{6}, P (S) = \frac{1}{7}$
All the events are mutually exclusive hence,

Required probability = P(P)+P(Q)+P(R)+P(S)

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{7}$ = $\frac{319}{420}$

Q:

The average temperature of the town in the first four days of a month was 58 degrees. The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was 60 degrees. If the temperatures of the first and fifth days were in the ratio 7 : 8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day ?

A) 62 degrees	B) 64 degrees
C) 65 degrees	D) 66 degrees

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64 degrees

Explanation:

Sum of temperatures on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days = (58 * 4) = 232 degrees ... (1)

Sum of temperatures on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days - (60 * 4) = 240 degrees ....(2)

Subtracting (1) From (2), we get :

Temp, on 5th day - Temp on 1st day = 8 degrees.

Let the temperatures on 1st and 5th days be 7x and 8x degrees respectively.

Then, 8x - 7x = 8 or x = 8.

Temperature on the 5th day = 8x = 64 degrees.
