Q:

fifteen persons are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. What is the probability that three particular persons sit together ?

A) 3/91 B) 2/73
C) 1/91 D) 3/73
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3/91

Explanation:

In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!
Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !
Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)
Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!
In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =
n(E) = 12! X 3!
Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!
= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Q:

There are two numbers such that the sum of twice the first number and thrice the second number is 100 and sum of thrice the first number and twice the second number is 120. Which is the larger number ?

A) 32 B) 24
C) 26 D) 38
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32

Explanation:

Let the first number be K and second number be L
Then, 2K + 3L = 100.....(1)
3K + 2L = 120.......(2)
solving (1)&(2), we get
K = 32 and L = 12

Hence the largest number is 32.

A) 123 B) 113
C) 246 D) 945
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 246

Explanation:

A Committee of 5 persons is to be formed from 6 gentlemen and 4 ladies by taking. 

 

(i) 1 lady out of 4 and 4 gentlemen out of 6 

(ii) 2 ladies out of 4 and 3 gentlemen out of 6 

(iii) 3 ladies out of 4 and 2 gentlemen out of 6 

(iv) 4 ladies out of 4 and 1 gentlemen out of 6 

 

In case I the number of ways = C14×C46 = 4 x 15 = 60 

In case II the number of ways = C24×C36 = 6 x 20 = 120 

In case III the number of ways = C34×C26 = 4 x 15 = 60

In case IV the number of ways = C44×C16 = 1 x 6 = 6 

 

Hence, the required number of ways = 60 + 120 + 60 + 6 = 246
