Q:

Out of 3 girls and 6 boys a group of three members is to be formed in such a way that at least one member is a girl. In how many different ways can it be done?

A) 64 B) 84
C) 56 D) 20
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 64

Explanation:

Total number of possible ways = 9C3 = 84 ways

Required atleast one girl in the group of three = total possible ways - ways in which none is girl

None of the members in the group is girl = 6C3 = 20

 

Therefore, number of ways that at least one member is a girl in the group of three

= 84 - 20

= 64 ways.

Q:

Equal distance is covered by a boat in upstream and in downstream in total 5 hours. Sum of speed of a boat in upstream and downstream is 40 km/hr. Speed of boat in still water is 600%
more than the speed of stream. Find theapproximate distance covered by boat in downstream (in km).

A) 45 B) 50
C) 55 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50

Explanation:

let speed of boat= X, speed of stream= Y
Upstream speed= X-Y
Downstream speed= X+Y
Sum of upstream & downstream= (X-Y) +(X+Y)= 2X
So, 2X= 40
X= 20 km/hr
Speed of boat : speed of stream= 600+100 :100= 7:1
So speed of Stream= 20/7 km/hr
ATQ, D/( X-Y) + D/( X+Y) = 5
D/(120/7) + D/(160/7)= 5
D= 480×5/49= 48.97 km= 50 Km(approx)

Q:

If (1 × 2 × 3 × 4 ........ × n) = n!, then 15! - 14! - 13! is equal to ___?

A) 14 × 13 × 13! B) 15 × 14 × 14!
C) 14 × 12 × 12! D) 15 × 13 × 13!
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 15 × 13 × 13!

Explanation:

15! - 14! - 13!

= (15 × 14 × 13!) - (14 × 13!) - (13!)

= 13! (15 × 14 - 14 - 1)

= 13! (15 × 14 - 15)

= 13! x 15 (14 - 1)

= 15 × 13 × 13!

Q:

Can you Solve the Problem ?

SOLVE1500443612.jpg image

Answer

Let the two digits be x & y


From given data in the question, we get


x + y = 3(x - y)


x + y = 3x - 3y


=> 2x = 4y


x/y = 2/1


For having the 2:1, numbers satisfying are


12, 21, 24, 42, 36, 63, 48, 84


From this 36 is eleminated because it is a perfect square and no others are prime or perfect squares.


Hence, there exists 7 such 2-digit numbers => 12, 21, 24, 42, 63, 48, 84.
