The given number series is 200, 200, 100, 300, 75, ?

It follows a pattern that,

200

200 x 1 = 200

200 / 2 = 100

100 x 3 = 300

300 / 4 = 75

75 x 5 = 375

Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 375.

A red ball can be drawn in two mutually exclusive ways

 (i) Selecting bag I and then drawing a red ball from it.

(ii) Selecting bag II and then drawing a red ball from it.

Let E1, E2 and A denote the events defined as follows:

E1 = selecting bag I,

E2 = selecting bag II

A = drawing a red ball

Since one of the two bags is selected randomly, therefore 

P(E1) = 1/2  and  P(E2) = 1/2

Now, PAE1 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the first bag has been selected = 4/7

  PAE2  = Probability of drawing a red ball when the second bag has been selected = 2/6

 Using the law of total probability, we have 

 P(red ball) = P(A) = PE1×PAE1+PE2×PAE2 

                          = 12×47+12×26=1942

Number of persons between Amrita and Mukul = 50 - (10 + 25) = 15. Since Mamta lies in middle of these 15 persons, so Mamta`s position is 8th from Amrita i.e. 18th from the front.

How many times can you subtract 10 from 100, for this if we go through logically, it is only 1 time. For the first time if we subtract 10 from 100, then there will no 100 to subtract from.

Hence, it is only 1 time we can subtract 10 from 100.

The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour.

From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours.

In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds.

So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Computer was invented by Charles Babbage.

The First Mechanical Computer Designed by Charles Babbage, a British mathematician was called as Analytical Engine which resembles today's modern machines  between 1833 and 1871.

From the given data,

Let the two gits of a number be x & y

A) x + y = 15

B) x2 - y2 = 45

(x+y) (x - y) = 45

C) x - y = 3

From any 2 of the given 3 statements, we can find that 2 digit number as 

2x = 18 => x = 9

=> y = 6

Hence, 2 digit number is 96.

Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to find.
