q: Alice, Benjamin, and Carol each try independently to win a carnival game. If their individual probabilities for success are 1/5, 3/8, and 3/7, respectively, what is the probability that exactly two of the three players will win but one will lose?
Options:
(A) 63/280
(B) 1/280
(C) 3/56
(D) 3/35
(E) 7/40
a: Stream of consciousness: P = P(A wins, B wins, C loses) + P(A wins, B loses, C wins) + P(A loses, B wins, C wins) = 1/5*3/8*4/7 + 1/5*5/8*3/7 + 4/5*3/8*3/7 = 63/280. The answer is (A).

question: The number N is 5,1H4, where H represents the ten's digit. If N is divisible by 9, what is the value of H?
Options:
(A) 1
(B) 3
(C) 8
(D) 7

q: Two persons A and B can complete a piece of work in 30 days and 45 days respectively. If they work together, what part of the work will be completed in 4 days?
Options:
(A) 2/5
(B) 1/6
(C) 1/4
(D) 1/9
(E) 2/9
a: Stream of consciousness: A's one day's work = 1/30
B's one day's work = 1/45
(A + B)'s one day's work = 1/30 + 1/45 = 1/18
The part of the work completed in 4 days = 4 (1/18) = 2/9. The answer is (E).

question: How long does a lorry 200 m long traveling at 80 kmph takes to cross a bridge of 200 m in length?
Options:
(A) 15
(B) 17
(C) 15
(D) 16
(E) 18
answer: Stream of consciousness: D = 200 + 200 = 400 m
S = 80 * 5/18 = 200/9
T = 400 * 9/200 = 18 sec The answer is (E).
