Reasoning: 2/3 * 6/7 * 1/3 * 3/8 = 36/504 = 3/42
Ans: (E)
Question: The compound ratio of 2/3, 6/7, 1/3 and 3/8 is given by?
Options:
(A) 7/98
(B) 1/48
(C) 1/98
(D) 1/96
(E) 3/42
Rationale: Total number of outcomes possible when a die is rolled, n(S) = 6 ( 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6)
E = Event that the number shown in the dice is divisible by 3 = {3, 6}
The probability = 2/6 = 1/3.
The answer: (D)
Question: A dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number shown in the dice is divisible by 3?
Options:
(A) 5/5
(B) 5/9
(C) 5/1
(D) 1/3
(E) 5/2
Reasoning: Total revenues = x
Spent on marketing = x/4
Remaining amount = x-x/4 = 3x/4
1/7 of the remainder on maintenance of its facilities = 3x/4*1/7 = 3x/28
Amount left = 3x/4-3x/28 = 9x/14
Ans: (D)
Question: Company Z spent 1/4 of its revenues last year on marketing and 1/7 of the remainder on maintenance of its facilities. What fraction of last year's original revenues did company Z have left after its marketing and maintenance expenditures?
Options:
(A) 5/14
(B) 1/2
(C) 17/28
(D) 9/14
(E) 9/11
Rationale: 8/12 + 6/x = 1
X = 18 days
The answer: (A)
Question: A can do a piece of work in 12 days. When he had worked for 2 days B joins him. If the complete work was finished in 8 days. In how many days B alone can finish the work?
Options:
(A) 18 days
(B) 11 days
(C) 77 days
(D) 188 days
(E) 66 days
Reasoning: The intersection for two = 45 - 12 - 22 = 11 play both games.
Ans: (C)
Question: 45 pupil,out of them 12 in debate only and 22 in singing only.then how many in both?
Options:
(A) 9
(B) 10
(C) 11
(D) 12
(E) 13
Reasoning: The probability that she hits the bullseye at least once = 1 - (the probability that she misses the bullseye every shot)
The probability that she misses all shots = (prob that she misses from 30 yards)*(prob that she misses from 40 yards)*(prob that she misses from 50 yards)
Prob that she misses from 30 yards = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6; Prob that she misses from 40 yards = 1 - 4/5 = 1/5; Prob that she misses from 50 yards = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4
Thus the probability that she misses all shots = (1/6)*(1/5)*(1/4) = 1/120
Thus the probability that she makes at least one shot = 1 - (1/120) = 119/120
Ans: (B)
Question: An archer is shooting arrows from various distances. She shoots at a target from 30 yards, 40 yards, and 50 yards. The probability that she hits within the bullseye from 30 yards is 5/6, the probability that she hits within the bullseye from 40 yards is 4/5, and the probability that she hits within the bullseye from 50 yards is 3/4. What is the probability that she hits the bullseye at least once in three shots, one from each distance listed.
Options:
(A) 104/105
(B) 119/120
(C) 139/140
(D) 9/10
(E) 14/15
