Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50 yrs

Explanation:

Let age of retirement = S
so according to the given condition 25000(x-20)
=10000 x 3 + 12000 + 14000 + 16000 + 18000 + 20000 + 22000 + 24000 + 26000 + 28000 + 30000 + 30000(S-33)
= 30000 + 210000 + 30000S-990000
= 30000S - 750000
or 25000S - 500000 = 30000x - 750000
or 5000x = 250000
or S = 50 yrs.

A) 1/3 B) 1/9
C) 8/9 D) 9/10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/9

=> n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36

E = {(6, 3), (5, 4), (4, 5), (3, 6) }

=> n(E) = 4

Therefore, P(E) = 4/36 = 1/9
