Let number of boys = B

Number of girls = G

From the given data,

1B/3 + 1G/2 = 300

But given B/3 = 100

=> B = 300

G/2 = 300 - 100

G = 200 x 2

=> G = 400

Therefore, total number of students in the college = B + G = 700.

729 = 9 x 9 x 9

=> Cube root of 729 = 9

Now, required square of 9 = 9 x 9 = 81.

Dry ice is solid form of carbon dioxide, used as a cooling agent.

It lower temperature than that of water ice and not leave any residue.

Let S be the sample space.
Here n(S)= 23 = 8
Let E be the event of getting atmost two heads. Then,
n(E) = {(H,T,T), (T,H,T), (T,T,H), (H,H,T), (T,H,H), (H,T,H)}
Required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 6/8 = 3/4.

It takes four of those little squares -- each one 1/2 inch on a side -- to cover one square inch. That's because each one is 1/2 x 1/2, or 1/4 of a square inch.
In a rectangle that is 48 inches by 48 inches, there are 2304 square inches.(1 ft = 12 inches)
Since it takes 4 little squares to cover 1 sq inch, then it would need 2304 x 4 squares (1/2 inch on a side each) to cover a rectangle 4 feet by 4 feet.

That is 9,216 of those squares.

Light travels Faster than Sound.

Light :

1. Light doesn't require a medium to travel.

2. It travels in the vaccum with the speed of 1,86,000 miles per second.

Sound:

1. Sound rquire a medium.

2. It travels in the Air with the speed of 340 meters per second.

3. It travels Faster in Water than in Air.

4. It travels Faster in Steel than in Water. 

When two dice are thrown simultaneously, the probability is n(S) = 6x6 = 36

Required, the sum of the two numbers that turn up is less than 12

That can be done as n(E)

= { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)
(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)
(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)
(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)
(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)
(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5) }

= 35

Hence, required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 35/36.
