The following question based on Advance Math topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : The probability that A can solve a problem is $2/3$ and B can solve it is $3/4$. If both attempt the problem, what is the probability that the problem gets solved ?

(a) $7/{12}$

(b) $5/{12}$

(c) ${11}/{12}$

(d) $9/{12}$

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (c)

The probability that A cannot solve the problem

= 1 - $2/3 = 1/3$

The probability that B cannot solve the problem

= 1 - $3/4 = 1/4$

The probability that both A and B cannot solve the problem = $1/3 × 1/4 = 1/{12}$

∴ The probability that at least one of A and B can solve the problem = 1 - $1/{12} = {11}/{12}$

∴ The probability that the problem is solved = ${11}/{12}$

b) $1/{10}$

c) $1/3$

d) $1/2$

Answer: (b)

Three vertices can be selected in $^6C_3$ ways.

advance-math-aptitude-mcq

The only equilateral triangles possible are $A_1 A_3 A_5 \text"and" A_2 A_4 A_6$

p = $2/{^6C_3} = 2/{20} = 1/{10}$

Question : 2

A and B play a game where each is asked to select a number from 1 to 5. If the two numbers match, both of them win a prize. The probability that they will not win a prize in a single trial is

a) 24/25

b) 2/25

c) 1/25

d) none of these

Answer: (d)

1,11,21,31,41,5
2,12,22,32,42,5
3,13,23,33,43,5
4,14,24,34,34,5
5,15,25,35,45,5

No. of total events = 25.

Chance of winning in one trial = $5/25 = 1/5$

Hence, chance of not winning = $1 - 1/5 = 4/5$

Question : 3

A box contains 10 balls out of which 3 are red and the rest are blue. In how many ways can a random sample of 6 balls be drawn from the bag so that at the most 2 red balls are included in the sample and no sample has all the 6 balls of the same colour ?

a) 168

b) 189

c) 105

d) 120

Answer: (a)

Six balls can be selected in the following ways: one red balls and 5 blue balls or

Two red balls and 4 blue balls

Total number of ways

= $^3C_1 × ^7C_5 + ^3C_2 × ^7C_4$

= 3 × ${7 × 6}/{2 × 1} + 3 × {7 × 6 × 5}/{3 × 2 × 1}$

= 63 + 105 = 168

Question : 4

In a tournament, each of the participants was to play one match against each of the other participants. Three players fell ill after each of them had played three matches and had to leave the tournament. What was the total number of participants at the beginning, if the total number of matches played was 75 ?

a) 10

b) 12

c) 08

d) 15

Answer: (d)

Let the total no. of participants be 'n' at the beginning.

Players remaining after sometime = n – 3

Now, $^{n–3}C_2$ + (3 × 3) = 75

${(n - 3)!}/{2!(n - 5)!}$ + 9 = 75

$n^2$ – 7n – 120 = 0

(n + 8) (n – 15) = 0

neglecting n = – 8, n = 15

Question : 5

If all permutations of the letters of the word AGAIN are arranged as in dictionary, then fiftieth word is

a) NAGAI

b) NAAIG

c) NAAGI

d) NAIAG

Answer: (b)

Starting with the letter A, and arranging the other four letters, there are 4! = 24 words. These are the first 24 words. Then starting with G, and arranging A, A, I, and

N in different ways, there are ${4!}/{2!1!1!} = {24}/2$ = 12 words.

Hence, total 36 words.

Next, the 37th word starts with I. There are 12 words starting with I. This accounts up to the 48th word. The 49th word is NAAGI.

The 50th word is NAAIG.

Question : 6

How many three-digit numbers can be generated from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 such that the digits are in ascending order ?

a) 81

b) 83

c) 80

d) 84

Answer: (d)

Any 3 numbers out of 9 can be selected in $^9C_3$ ways.

Now, these three numbers can be arranged among themselves in ascending order in only 1 way.

Hence, total no. of ways = $^9C_3$ × 1 = 84
