Q:

A fair six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the probability of getting 4 on the first roll and not getting 6 on the second roll ?

A) 1/36 B) 5/36
C) 1/12 D) 1/9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5/36

Explanation:

The two events mentioned are independent.

The first roll of the die is independent of the second roll. Therefore the probabilities can be directly multiplied.

P(getting first 4) = 1/6

P(no second 6) = 5/6

Therefore P(getting first 4 and no second 6) = 1/6 x 5/6 = 5/36

A) 24 B) 23
C) 22 D) 25

Q:

Find at what time between 9 and 10 o’clock will the hands of a clock be in 180° ?

A) 180/14 min past 10 B) 180/11 min past 9
C) 148/7 min past 10 D) 154/11 min past 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 180/11 min past 9

Explanation:

At 9 o’clock, the hour hand is at 9 and the minutes hand is at 12, i.e., the two hands are 15 min. spaces apart.
So, the minute hand should gain = (30 - 15) minutes = 15 minutes
55 minutes will be gained in 60 min.
15 minutes spaces will be gained in ((60/55) x 15) min. = 180/11 min.
The hands will be in the same straight line but not together i.e.,in 180 degrees at 180/11 min. past 9.
