(B) 1/4
(C) 9/14
(D) 11/28
(E) 13/28

Options:
(A) 5/18
(B) 5/12
(C) 5/19
(D) 5/15
(E) 5/11
a: Stream of consciousness: Using question number 11 and 12, we get the probability as
1 - (1/36 + 5/9) = 5/12 The answer is (B).

question: There are 5 sweets Jumun, Kulfi, Peda, Laddu and Jilabi that I wish to eat on 5 consecutive days Monday through Friday, one sweet a day, based on the following self imposed constraints:

Options:
(A) 4
(B) 7
(C) 6
(D) 8
(E) 9
a: Stream of consciousness: S = 600/40 = 15 mps
S = 3600/15 = 240 sec = 4 min The answer is (A).

q: Find the least number must be added to 228712 so that remaining no.is divisible by 9?
Options:
(A) 5
(B) 3
(C) 1
(D) 6
(E) 2
a:
Stream of consciousness: On dividing 228712 by 9 we get the remainder 4, so 5 should be subtracted The answer is (A).
