Let the ratio be K: 1 Kx16.4 + 1x 15.4 = (K+1) x 15.8 (16.4 – 15.8) k = (15.8 – 15.4) 0.6k = 0.4 K = 0.4/0.6 = 2/3 The required ratio = 2/3:1 = 2:3
23) What is the probability that the product of two integers randomly selected from the numbers 1 through 20 inclusive, is odd?
Explanation:
The product of two integers is odd when both integers are odd. Hence, the probability of the product being odd equals the probability of both numbers being odd. Since there is one odd number in every two numbers (there are 10 odd numbers in the 20 numbers 1 through 20 inclusive), the probability of a number being odd is 1/2. The probability of both numbers being odd (mutually exclusive case) is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.
24) There are 12 YES or NO questions. How many ways can these are answered?
Explanation:
Each of the questions can be answered in 2 ways (YES or NO). Therefore, number of ways of answering 12 questions = 212 = 4096 ways.
25) A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, the how old is B?
Explanation:
Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years. (2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27 5x = 25 x = 5. Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.
26) Two fair coins are tossed. Find the probability of getting head?
Explanation:
Here S = {H,T} and E = {H} P(E) = N(E) / N(S) = 1/2
27) From a group of boys and girls, 15 girls leave. There are then left 2 boys for each girl. After this, 45 boys leave. There are then 5 girls for each boy. Find the number of girls in the beginning?
Explanation:
Let at present there be x boys. Then, number of girls at present=5x Before the boys had left: number of boys=x+45 And number of girls=5x X+45=2*5x 9x=45 x=5 Number of girls in the beginning=25+15=40.
28) Find sum of all odd number between 100 and 200 ?
Explanation:
From arithmetic series sum(Sn where n = number of terms) is defined as follows: Sn = 101+103+105+...........+197+199 i.e. Sn = n/2 (a+l). where a is first term in the series i.e. 101. l is last term in the series i.e. 199. Let’s find the n value of above series. an = a+(n-1)*d Where an = l = 199 d = common difference i.e. 103 - 101 = 2 199 = 101 +(n-1)* 2 On simplifying n = (199 - 101) /2 + 1 = 50 Sn = 50/2 (101 + 199). i.e. Sn = 7500.
29) If 30 oxen can plough 1/7th of a field in 2 days. How many days 10 oxen will take to do the remaining work ?
Explanation:
Remaining Work = (1-1/7) = 1/3. Number of days to complete the work = X days. No of people Time Work 30 2 1/7 10 X 1/3 Work = no of people * work. i.e (P1 * T1)/W1 = (P2 * T2)/W2 (30 * 2)/(1/7) = (10 * X )/(1/3) X = (30*2*7)/(10*3) X = 14 Days.
30) A cask contains a mixture of 49 litres of wine and water in ratio 5:2. How much water must be added to it so that the ratio of wine to water become 7:4?
Explanation:
Suppose the can initially contains 5x and 2x of mixtures wine and water respectively. Quantity of wine in mixture = 49 * (5/7) = 35 litres. Quantity of wine in mixture = 49 * (2/7) = 14 litres. After adding X litres of water = (35+X)/(14+X) = 7/4 (35+X)*4 = (14+X)*7 35* 4 + 4X = 14*7 + 7X 140 - 98 = 7X - 4X 3X = 42 X = 14 liters.
