Q:

The ratio of the speed of Two trains is 5:8. Sum of their length is 660. The ratio of time taken to cross an Electric Pole by train A and B is 4:3. What is the difference between the length of two trains?

A) 50m B) 40m
C) 60m D) 45m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 60m

Explanation:

Ans.
Given that length of first train + length of second train = 660
Speed of first train : Speed of second train = 5:8 =5x : 8x
Time taken to cross the poll by two trains = 4:3 =4y:3y
Now ,
(5x*4y) + (8x*3y) = 660
44xy = 660
xy = 15
L1 - L2 = 24xy -20xy = 4xy = 60 m

Q:

In a class, there are 15 boys and 10 girls. Three students are selected at random. The probability that 1 girl and 2 boys are selected, is:

A) 21/46 B) 1/5
C) 3/25 D) 1/50
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 21/46

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space and E be the event of selecting 1 girl and 2 boys.

 

Then, n(S) = Number ways of selecting 3 students out of 25

 

                = 25C3  = 2300.

 

         n(E)= 10C1*15C2 = 1050. 

 

P(E) = n(E)/n(s) = 1050/2300 = 21/46
