Q:

K is 50% faster than L. If L starts at 9 A.M. and K starts at 10 A.M. L travels at a speed of 50 km/hr. If L and K are 300 kms apart, The time when they meet when they travel in opposite direction is ?

A) 12 pm B) 1 pm
C) 11 am D) 11:30 am
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 pm

Explanation:

let 't' be the time after which they met since L starts.

Given K is 50% faster than L

50 t + 1.5*50(t-1) = 300

50 t +75 t = 300 + 75

t = 375 / 125 = 3 hrs past the time that L starts

So they meet at (9 + 3)hrs = 12:00 noon.

Q:

How many ways are there to deal a five-card hand consisting of three eight's and two sevens?

A) 36 B) 72
C) 24 D) 16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 24

Explanation:

If a card hand that consists of four Queens and an Ace is rearranged, nothing has changed.

 

The hand still contains four Queens and an Ace. Thus, use the combination formula for problems with cards.

 

We have 4 eights and 4 sevens.

We want 3 eights and 2 sevens.

C(have 4 eights, want 3 eights) x C(have 4 sevens, want 2 sevens) 

C(4,3) x C(4,2) = 24

 

Therefore there are 24 different ways in which to deal the desired hand.
