The day before yesterday, I was 25 years old, and next year I will turn 28. How is it possible?

Correct Answer: 39

Explanation:

Let the average after 17th innings = x
Then average after 16th innings = (x - 3)
Therefore 16 × (x - 3) + 87 = 17x
Therefore x = 39

Correct Answer: 50 2/7 sq.cm

Correct Answer: 20

Correct Answer: 1000 cm3

Correct Answer: Rs 528

Correct Answer: 0.043

Explanation:

 Vowels are A I A I O, 

 

 C    A   S    T   I    G   A    T   I    O   N

 

(O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O)

 

So there are 5 even places in which five vowels can be arranged and in rest of 6 places 6 constants can be arranged as follows :

 

n ( E ) = 5 P 5 2 ! * 2 ! ( A , I a r e 2 t i m e s ) * 6 P 6 2 ! ( T i s 2 t i m e s ) = 21600

 

n ( S ) = 11 ! 2 ! * 2 ! * 2 ! ( A , I a r e 2 t i m e s ) = 4989600

 

21600 4989600 = 0 . 043

Correct Answer: 1/2

Explanation:

Here, s={H,T} and E={H}
P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 1/2

Correct Answer: 1/2

Explanation:

P(odd) = P (even) = 1 2 1(because there are 50 odd and 50 even numbers)

 

Sum or the three numbers can be odd only under the following 4 scenarios:

 

Odd + Odd + Odd =  1 2 * 1 2 * 1 2=  1 8

 

Odd + Even + Even =  1 2 * 1 2 * 1 2= 1 8

 

Even + Odd + Even =  1 2 * 1 2 * 1 2= 1 8

 

Even + Even + Odd =  1 2 * 1 2 * 1 2 =  1 8

 

Other combinations of odd and even will give even numbers. 

 

Adding up the 4 scenarios above:

 

=  1 8+  1 8+ 1 8+  1 8 =  4 8 =  1 2

Correct Answer: 1/30

Correct Answer: (1/2)^11

Explanation:

Probability of occurrence of an event, 

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S)

? Probability of getting head in one coin = ½, 

? Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½, 

Hence, 

All the 11 tosses are independent of each other.

? Required probability of getting only 2 times heads = 1 2 2 × 1 2 9 = 1 2 11
