Q:

n is an integer chosen at random from the set

{5, 7, 9, 11 }

p is chosen at random from the set

{2, 6, 10, 14, 18}

What is the probability that n + p = 23 ?

A) 0.1 B) 0.2
C) 0.25 D) 0.3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 0.1

Explanation:

Each of the integers in the first set could be combined with any from the second set, giving a total of 4 x 5 = 20 possible pairs.

Of these the combinations that could give a sum of 23 are (5 + 18), and (9 + 14)

This means that the probability of getting a sum of 23 is 2/20 = 1/10

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Genetic variation is the cornerstone of evolution, without which there can be no natural selection, and so a low genetic diversity decreases the ability of a species to survive and reproduce, explains lead author Yoshan Moodley, Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of Venda in South Africa.

Two centuries ago, the black rhinoceros – which roamed much of sub Saharan Africa – had 64 different genetic lineages; but today only 20 of these lineages remain, says the paper. The species is now restricted to five countries, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Genetically unique populations that once existed in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi and Angola have disappeared. The origins of the 'genetic erosion' coincided with colonial rule in Africa and the popularity of big game hunting. From the second half of the 20th century, however, poaching for horns has dramatically depleted their population and genetic diversity, especially in Kenya and Tanzania.


Genetically unique black rhinoceros has been lost in all of the following countries, except?

A) Tanzania B) Nigeria
C) Chad D) Malawi
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Tanzania
