Q:

A fair coin is tossed 11 times. What is the probability that only the first two tosses will yield heads ?

A) (1/2)^11 B) (9)(1/2)
C) (11C2)(1/2)^9 D) (1/2)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) (1/2)^11

Explanation:

Probability of occurrence of an event, 

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S)


⇒ Probability of getting head in one coin = ½, 

⇒ Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½, 

Hence, 

All the 11 tosses are independent of each other.

∴ Required probability of getting only 2 times heads =122×129=1211

Q:

What are the reactants in a chemical reaction?

In a chemical reaction, substances (elements or compounds) called reactants are changed into other substances (compounds or elements) called products. Hence, reactants are those which start the chemical reaction.


 


For example:


1. In the burning of natural gas, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.

Q:

The average of the ages of Sumit, Krishna and Rishabh is 43 years and the average of the ages of Sumit, Rishabh and Rohit is 49 years. If Rohit is 54 years old, what is Krishna'a age ? 

A) 48 yrs B) 42 yrs
C) 40 yrs D) 36 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 36 yrs

Explanation:

Let present ages of Sumit=w, Krishna=x, Rishabh=y and Rohit=z , then
w+x+y = 43x3 = 129 ---(i) and
w+y+z = 49x3 = 147 ---(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), (w+y+z) - (w+x+y)=147 -129 , z- x =18 ---(iii)
Given Rohit's age => z = 54, so from (iii), x = 54-18 = 36

Q:

Sweety is 54 years old and her mother is 80. How many years ago was Sweety's mother three times her age?

A) 20 B) 41
C) 26 D) 33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 41

Explanation:

Given P = 54 and M = 80

According to the question,

Let ‘A’ years ago, M = 3P

=> M - A/P - A = 3

=> 80 - A = 3(54 - A)

=> 80 - A = 162 - 3A

=> 2A = 82

=> A = 41

Therefore, A = 41 years ago Sweety’s mother was 3 times of Sweety’s age.

Hence, at the age S = 13 and M = 39.
