Excluded number = (27 x 5)  -  (25 x 4) = 135 - 100 = 35.

There are 8 students and the maximum capacity of the cars together is 9.

We may divide the 8 students as follows

Case I: 5 students in the first car and 3 in the second
Case II: 4 students in the first car and 4 in the second

Hence, in Case I: 8 students are divided into groups of 5 and 3 in8C3 ways.

Similarly, in Case II: 8 students are divided into two groups of 4 and 4 in 8C4ways.

Therefore, the total number of ways in which 8 students can travel is:
8C3+8C4=56 + 70= 126

Amount of milk left after 3 operations

401-4403=40*910*910*910=29.16 litres

Find the number of cases in which none of the digits show a '6'.

i.e. all three dice show a number other than '6', 5×5×5=125 cases.

Total possible outcomes when three dice are thrown = 216.

The number of outcomes in which at least one die shows a '6' = Total possible outcomes when three dice are thrown - Number of outcomes in which none of them show '6'.

=216−125=91

The required probability = 91/256

Let 'B' alone can do the work in 'x' days

6/30 + 18/x = 1

=> x = 22.5

1/30 + 1/22.5 = 7/90 

=> 90/7 = 12 6/7 days

Let Pencils = 10x, Pens = 2x & Exercise books = 3x. Now, 10x = 120 hence x = 12.
Number of exercise books = 3x = 36.

Draw the diagram. The diagonal of the rectangle is the diameter of the circle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a 3,4,5 triangle and is therefore, 5.

Circumference = π.diameter = 5π

Let the mother's present age be x years.

Then, the person's present age = 2/5 x years.

(2x/5 + 8) = 1/2 (x + 8)

2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8) => x = 40.
