Question :16

I forgot the last digit of a 7-digit telephone number. If I randomly dial the final 3 digits after correctly dialing the first four, then what is the chance of dialling the correct number ?

Answer: (d)

It is given that last 3 digits are randomly dialled. Then each of the digits can be selected out of 10 digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) in 10 ways. Hence the required probability = $(1/{10})^3 = 1/{1000}$

Question :17

Boxes numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are kept in a row and they are to be filled with either a red or a blue ball, such that no two adjacent boxes can be filled with blue balls. Then how many different arrangements are possible, given that all balls of a given colour are exactly identical in all respects ?

Answer: (d)

Each box can be filled in 2 ways.

Hence total no. of ways = $2^5$ = 32

Blue balls can not be filled in adjacent boxes

Total no. of such cases in which blue is filled in 2 adjacent boxes is

2 blue + 3 blue + 4 blue + 5 blue

= 4 ways ( 12, 23, 34, 45) + 3 ways ( 123, 234, 345) + 2 ways (1234, 2345)+ 1 way

= 10 ways

Hence total cases in which blue balls can not be filled in adjacent boxes = 32 - 10 = 22

Question :18

In his wardrobe, Timothy has 3 trousers. One of them is black and second blue, and the third brown. In the wardrobe, he also has 4 shirts. One of them is black and the other 3 are white. He opens his wardrobe in the dark and picks out one shirt-trouser pair without examining their colour. What is the likelihood that neither the shirt nor the trouser is black ?

Answer: (d)

Probability that the trouser is not black $2/3$

Probability that the shirt is not black = $3/4$

Since, picking of a shirt and a trouser are independent, required probability = $2/3 × 3/4 = 1/2$

Question :19

A five digit number divisible by 3 is to be formed using the numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, without repetition. The total number of ways this can be done is

Answer: (c)

If a number is divisible by 3, the sum of the digits in it must be a multiple of 3. The sum of the given six numerals is 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15. So to make a five digit number divisible by 3 we can either exclude 0 or 3. If 0 is left out, then 5! = 120 number of ways are possible. If 3 is left out, then the number of ways of making a five digit numbers is 4 × 4! = 96, because 0 cannot be placed in the first place from left, as it will give a number of four digits.

Hence, total number = 120 + 96 = 216.

Question :20

In a hockey championship there were 153 matches played. Every two teams played one match with each other. The number of teams participating in the championship is :

Answer: (c)

Let there be n teams participating in the championship. Then, total no. of matches = $^nC_2$ = 153

or ${n!}/{2!(n - 2)!} = {1/2}(n - 1)$ × n = 153

or $n^2$ – n – 306 = 0

or (n – 18) (n + 17) = 0

or n = 18

[n ≠ -ve]
