than that taken to come back. Probability (at least 1 black) = 1 – probability (no
So, (960/4x) – (960/6x) = 20 black Pen)
x=4 = 1 – [10C3 / 16C3]
So, speed of boat in still water = 5 * 4 = 20 m/s = 1 – [(10 x 9 x 8)/ (16 x 15 x 14)]
Hence, Quantity I ≥ Quantity II = 1 – 3/14
= 11/14 = 0.78 (approx.)
7) Answer: B So, Quantity I < Quantity II
Quantity I. Hence answer is option B
Average speed of M = 2 x (6 x 8)/ (6 + 8) = 48/7
km/hr 9) Answer: E
Speed of N = 16 km/hr (1/A) + (1/B) + (1/C) = 1/8
Let total time taken by M = a hours (1/A) + (1/B) = (1/8) – (1/24)
So, total time taken by N = (a - 22) hours (1/A) + (1/B) = 1/12 -----------(1)
Total distance travelled by M = 2 x total distance Since, ratio of A’s efficiency to B’s efficiency is 2:
travelled by N 1.
Now, (48/7) x a = 2 x 16 x (a - 22) So, ratio of time taken by A alone to B alone to
3a = 14a – 14 x 22 complete the work = 1: 2
So, value of a = (14 x 22 / 11) = 28 hours From equation (1):
Time taken by N = (28 – 22) = 6 hours (1/A) + (1/2A) = 1/12
Required distance = 16 x 6 = 96 km A = 18
Quantity II. Quantity I:
3353 = 334 x 13 + 1 Time taken by A alone to complete the whole
So, unit digit of 3353 = 3 work = 18 hours
Value of 33K = 33 x 3 = 99 So, time taken by A to complete 50% work =
So, Quantity I < Quantity II 18/2 = 9 hours.
Hence answer is option B Quantity II:
Time taken by A alone to complete the work = 18
8) Answer: B hours
Quantity I. So, time taken by D alone to complete the work
Required probability = 1 – [(1 – 0.25) x (1 – 0.2) x will either be 18 + 9 = 27 hours or 18 – 9 = 9
(1 – 0.5)] = 0.7 hours.
Quantity II. If time taken by D alone to complete the work =
27 hours
