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:

The average age of a couple and their son was 40 years, the son got married and a child was born just two years after their marriage. When child turned to 10 years, then the average age of the family becomes 38 years. What was the age of the daughter in law at the time of marriage ?

A) 12 years B) 10 years
C) 14 years D) 13 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 years

Explanation:

Given the average age of couple and their son = 40

=> Sum of age (H +W +S) = 40×3

Let the age of daughter in law at the time of marriage = D years

Now after 10 years,

(H + S +W) + 3×12 + D +12 + 10 = 38×5

178 + D = 190

D = 190 -178 = 12 years

Q:

The average of marks in 3 subjects is 224. The first subject marks is twice the second and the second subject marks is twice the third. Find the second subject marks ?

A) 384 B) 96
C) 192 D) 206
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 192

Explanation:

Let the third subject marks be 'x'
=> Second subject marks = 2x
=> Third subject marks = 4x
Given avg = 224
x + 2x + 4x = 224 x 3
=> 7x = 224 x 3
=> x = 96
Hence, Second subject marks = 2x = 2 x 96 = 192.
