Q:

The ratio between the perimeter and the breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 1. If the area of the rectangle is 216 sq. cm, what is the length of the rectangle?

A) 16cm	B) 18cm
C) 24cm	D) .Data inadequate

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18cm

Explanation:

2(l+b)/b = 5/1

=> 2l + 2b = 5b

=> 3b = 2l

=> b =(2/3) x l

Then, Area = 216 sq.cm

l x b = 216

=> l x [(2/3)x l] =216

=> l x l = 324

=> l = 18 cm.

Explanation:

S = { HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT }

=> n(S) = 8

E = { HHH, HHT, HTH, THH }

=> n(E) = 4

P(E) = 4/8 = 1/2

Q:

Simplyfiy : $[3 \frac{1}{4} \div \{1 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (2 \frac{1}{2} - (\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6}))\}]$

A) 78	B) 88
C) 98	D) 108

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 78

Explanation:

Given exp = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{5}{2} - \frac{3 - 2}{12})\}]$ = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{12})\}]$

= $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{30 - 1}{12})\}]$ = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{29}{24}\}]$

= $[\frac{13}{4} \div \frac{30 - 29}{24}]$ =78

Q:

A team of 8 students goes on an excursion, in two cars, of which one can seat 5 and the other only 4. In how many ways can they travel?

A) 126	B) 240
C) 120	D) 260

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 126

Explanation:

There are 8 students and the maximum capacity of the cars together is 9.

We may divide the 8 students as follows

Case I: 5 students in the first car and 3 in the second Or

Case II: 4 students in the first car and 4 in the second

Hence, in Case I: 8 students are divided into groups of 5 and 3 in $8 C_{3}$ ways.

Similarly, in Case II: 8 students are divided into two groups of 4 and 4 in $8 C_{4}$ ways.

Therefore, the total number of ways in which 8 students can travel is

$8 C_{3} + 8 C_{4}$ = 56 + 70 = 126.
