Question: Ian is paid an hourly wage, totaling $400 for h hours of work in a week, where h >0. If Ian's hourly wage increases by 25% and Ian decides to work 25% fewer hours each week, how much will Ian be paid in a week?
A.$200
B.$375
C.$400
D.$425
Answer: B.$375
Explanation: let No of hours ian worked = h
and wage per hour = w
therefore w*h = 400
if he decides to work 25% fewer hours = 0.75 * h
and 25% more age is paid = 1.25 * w
therefore 1.25*w*0.75*h = 1.25*0.75*400 = 375

A.600
B.300
C.1200
D.1500
Answer: D.1500
Explanation: Let no. of Attendee are A.
Now As per the condition of the problem stated above .
We have following population in the convention as Attendee.
Total no. of females = [2/3]*A
Total no. of females as student : [1/6]*A
Total no. of students = [1/3]*A
Total no. of male as student = [1/6]*A
Total no. of males = A - [2/3]*A = [1/3]A
No. of males which are not student = [1/3]A - [1/6]*A = 250
Hence A = 1500
Total no of males who are not student will be the answer as it states it should be neither female nor student

Question: Out of 8 consonants and 5 vowels, how many words of 4 consonants and 3 vowels can be formed?
A.15000
B.352800
C.25200
D.214000
Answer: B.352800
Explanation: Solution
Number of ways of selecting (4 consonants out of 8) and (3 vowels out of 5)
nCr=n!/r!(n-r)!
8c4 x 5c3= (8x7x6x5/4x3x2x1)x(5x4x3/3x2x1) =70x10=700
Number of group,each having 4 consonants and 3 vowels = 700
Each group contains 7 letter.
Number of ways of arranging 7 letters among themselves
= 7 ! = (7 x 6 x 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) = 5040 .
So, Required number of words = (5040 × 700) = 352800 .Answer B

Question: A bag contains 30 red jellybeans and 30 blue jellybeans. If 3 jellybeans are removed one at a time, at random and are not replaced, what is the probability that all 3 jellybeans removed from the bag are blue?
A.9/100
B.2/19
C.1/8
D.1/20
Answer: D.1/20
Explanation: Method-1
10 red jellybeans and 10 blue jellybeans
Total Outcomes = No. of ways to choose 3 Jelly bean at random out of a total 20 jellybeans = 20C3 = 1140
Favourable Outcomes = No. of ways to choose 3 Jelly bean such that they are all Blue out of 10 Blue = 10C3 = 120
Probability = Favourable Outcomes / Total Outcomes = 10C3 / 20C3
Probability = 120 / 1140 = 2/19
Answer: option B
Method-2
Probability of First jelly bean to be Blue = 10/20 [Total 10 Blue out of total 20 jellybeans]
Probability of Second jelly bean to be Blue = 9/19 [Total 9 Blue remaining out of total 19 jellybeans remaining]
Probability of Third jelly bean to be Blue = 8/18 [Total 8 Blue remaining out of total 18 jellybeans remaining]
Required Probability = (10/20)*(9/19)*(8/18) = 1/20
Answer: option D
