Q:

One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards, each of the 52 cards being equally likely to be drawn find the probability the card drawn is red.

A) 2/3 B) 1/2
C) 1/52 D) 13/51
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/2

Explanation:

We know that:

When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards

The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52

We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards
⇒ The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26

Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S)

∴ required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.

Q:

A train travels 325 km in 3.5 hours and 470 km in 4 hours. Find the average speed of train ?

A) 107 kmph B) 106 kmph
C) 72 kmph D) 76 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 106 kmph

Explanation:

As we know that Speed = Distance / Time
for average speed = Total Distance / Total Time Taken
Thus, Total Distance = 325 + 470 = 795 km
Thus, Total Speed = 7.5 hrs
Average Speed = 795/7.5 => 106 kmph.
