Q:

One lady has 2 children, one of her child is boy, what is the probability of having both are boys ?

A) 1/3 B) 1/2
C) 2/3 D) 2/5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1/3

Explanation:

In a family with 2 children there are four possibilities:
1) the first child is a boy and the second child is a boy (bb)
2) the first child is a boy and the second child is a girl (bg)
3) the first child is a girl and the second child is a boy (gb)
4) the first child is a girl and the second child is a girl (gg)

But already given that one child is boy. So we have three possibilities of (bb)(bg)(gb).
n(E)= both are boys=BB=1
n(S)= 3
Required probability P = n(E)/n(S) = 1/3.

Q:

A flagstaff 17.5 m high casts a shadow of length 40.25 m. What will be the height of a building, which casts a shadow of length 28.75 m under similar conditions ?  

A) 14 cm B) 13.5 cm
C) 12.5 cm D) 11.4 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12.5 cm

Explanation:

Let the required height of the building be x meter

More shadow length, More height(direct proportion)

Hence we can write as

(shadow length) 40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x
⇒ 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5
⇒ x = 28.75 × 17.5/40.25
= 2875 × 175/40250
= 2875 × 7/1610
= 2875/230
= 575/46
= 12.5 cm

Q:

A jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey, during the return journey increased speed 12km/hr takes the times 4 hrs. What is the distance travelled by the jeep is ?

A) 244 km B) 144 km
C) 444 km D) 344 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 144 km

Explanation:

Given a jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey
During the return journey, it takes 4 hrs with an increased speed 12 km/hr
Let 'x' be the distance.
Now, speed is given by distance/time.
Here the difference between both speeds = 12

 x4 - x6 = 12

 3x - 2x12 = 12

 

=> x = 144 km

 

Therefore, the distance travelled by the jeep in forward or return journey is x = 144 km.
