A) 5 B) 4
C) 20 D) 28
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

Given (2a + 3b)/(5a - 3b) = 23/5
=> 10a + 15b = 115a - 69b
=> 105a = 84b => 5a = 4b
a/b = 4/5 => a=4 & b=5
=> bxa = 5x4 = 20.

Q:

Three dice are thrown together.Find the probability of getting a total of atleast 6.

A) 103/216 B) 103/108
C) 103/36 D) 36/103
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 103/108

Explanation:

Total number of events=6 x 6 x 6=216
Let A be the event of getting a total of atleast 6 and B denoted event of getting a total of less than 6 i.e.,3,4,5.

So,B={(1,1,1),(1,1,2),(1,2,1),(2,1,1),(1,1,3),(1,3,1),(3,1,1),(1,2,2),(2,1,2),(2,2,1)}

Favourable number of cases=10

Therefore,P(B)=10/216

=> P(A) = 1 - P(B)

             = 1 - (10/216) = 103/108

Q:

What is the sum which earned interest?
I. The total simple interest was Rs. 7000 after 7 years.
II. The total of sum and simple interest was double of the sum after 5 years.

A) I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer B) II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
C) Either I or II alone sufficient to answer D) Both I and II are necessary to answer
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both I and II are necessary to answer

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x.

I  gives, S.I. = Rs. 7000 and T = 7 years.

II gives, Sum + S.I. for 5 years = 2 x Sum Sum = S.I. for 5 years.

Now, S.I. for 7 years = Rs. 7000.

therefore, S.I. for 1 year =  Rs. 1000.

Thus, I and II both are needed to get the answer.
