Q:

Joel travels the first 3 hours of his journey at 60 mph speed and the remaining 5 hours at 24 mph speed. What is the average speed of Joel's travel in kmph ?

A) 38 kmph B) 40 kmph
C) 60 kmph D) 54 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 60 kmph

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Total distance traveled by Joel = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours.

Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3 x 60 = 180 miles
Distance covered in the next 5 hours = 5 x 24 = 120 miles

Therefore, total distance traveled = 180 + 120 = 300 miles.

Total time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 hours.

Average speed = 300/8 = 37.5 mph.

we know that 1 mile = 1.6 kms

=> 37.5 miles = 37.5 x 1.6 = 60 kms

Average speed in Kmph = 60 kmph.

Q:

The average score of boys in an examination in a school is 81 and that of the girls is 83 and the average score of the school is 81.8. Then what will be ratio between the number of girls to the number of boys, in the examination?

A) 3:2 B) 2:3
C) 4:3 D) 3:4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:3

Explanation:

Let the number of boys = b

Let the number of girls = g

From the given data,

 

81b + 83g = 81.8(b + g)

81.8b - 81b = 83g - 81.8g

0.8b = 1.2g

b/g = 1.2/0.8 = 12/8 = 3/2

=> g : b = 2 : 3

 

Hence, ratio between the number of girls to the number of boys = 2 : 3.

Q:

Determine the total number of five-card hands that can be drawn from a deck of 52 cards.

A) 2589860 B) 2598970
C) 2598960 D) 2430803
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2598960

Explanation:

When a hand of cards is dealt, the order of the cards does not matter. If you are dealt two kings, it does not matter if the two kings came with the first two cards or the last two cards. Thus cards are combinations. There are 52 cards in a deck and we want to know how many different ways we can put them in groups of five at a time when order does not matter. The combination formula is used.

C(52,5) = 2,598,960
