A Total number of events = 5 Q.5 A bag has 4 red balls and 2 yellow balls. (The balls are identical in all respects other than colour). A ball is drawn from the bag without looking into the bag. What is probability of getting a red ball? A) 2/3 B) 2/4 C) 2/5 D) 2/6 Ans. A There are in all (4 + 2 =) 6 outcomes of the event. Getting a red ballconsists of 4 outcomes. Therefore, the probability of getting a red ball is4/6 = 2/3 Q.6 There are 2401 students in a school. P.T. teacher wants them to stand in rows and columns such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Findthe number of rows. A) 45 B) 47 C) 49 D) 51 Ans. C Let the number of rows be xSo, the number of columns = xTherefore, number of students = x × x = x2Thus, x2 = 2401 gives x = Sq. root of 2401 = 49The number of rows = 49 Q.7 The sum of a two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing the digits is 66. If the digits of the number differ by 2, find the number. How many such numbers are there? A) 40 & 24 B) 42 & 24 C) 42 & 20 D) None of the above Ans. B Let the ten’s and the unit’s digits in the first number be x and y, respectively.So, the first number may be written as 10 x + y in the expanded form (for example,56 = 10(5) + 6).When the digits are reversed, x becomes the unit’s digit and y becomes the ten’sdigit. This number, in the expanded notation is 10y + x (for example, when 56 isreversed, we get 65 = 10(6) + 5).According to the given condition.(10x + y) + (10y + x) = 66i.e., 11(x + y) = 66i.e., x + y = 6 (1)We are also given that the digits differ by 2, therefore,either x – y = 2 (2)or y – x = 2 (3)If x – y = 2, then solving (1) and (2) by elimination, we get x = 4 and y = 2.In this case, we get the number 42.If y – x = 2, then solving (1) and (3) by elimination, we get x = 2 and y = 4.In this case, we get the number 24.Thus, there are two such numbers 42 and 24. Q.8 Satpal walks 2/3 km from a place P, towards east and then from there 1 5/7 km towards west. Where will he be now from P? A) Distance of 1 1/21 km towards west of P B) Distance of 1 7/21 km towards west of P C) Distance of 1 1/21 km towards east of P D) Distance of 1 7/21 km towards east of P Ans. A 2/3 + (-1 5/7) = 2/3 + (-12)/7= 2 * 7 / 3 * 7 + (-12) * 3 / 7 * 314-36 / 21 = 1 1/21 Since it is negative, it means Satpal is at a distance 1 1/21km towards west of P. Q.9 Saili plants 4 saplings, in a row, in her garden. The distance between two adjacent saplings is ¾ m. Find the distance between the first and the last sapling A) 3 m B) 4 m C) 5 m D) 6 m Ans.
