Options- A. 210
- B. 168
- C. 1260
- D. 10!/6!
- Correct Answer
- 168
Explanationwe can select the 5 member team out of the 8 in 8C5 ways = 56 ways.
The captain can be selected from amongst the remaining 3 players in 3 ways.
Therefore, total ways the selection of 5 players and a captain can be made = 56x3 = 168 ways.
(or)
Alternatively, A team of 6 members has to be selected from the 8 players. This can be done in 8C6 or 28 ways.
Now, the captain can be selected from these 6 players in 6 ways.
Therefore, total ways the selection can be made is 28x6 = 168 ways.

Correct Answer: I, II and III
Explanation:
The last day of century cannot be either Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.
Correct Answer: 90°
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 22
Explanation:
The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours.
(Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite direction at 6 'o clock only). So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite direction 22 times.
Correct Answer: March and November
Explanation:
January and August or October depends on leap year or non leap year. But if we find the number of odd days between March and November we will get number of odd days is 0 hence they will have same calendar.
Correct Answer: 26.4 cm
Explanation:
Arc length = 2?r (?° / 360°)
= 2 x (22/7) x 21 x (72° / 360°) cm
= 26.4 cm
Correct Answer: 209
Explanation:
Let us take two cases
Case (i) : When year start with Sunday then next 4 years will always have 52 Sundays hence total number of Sundays are 53 + 3 x 52 = 209 Sundays
Case (ii) : When year start with Sunday and then we have 53 Sundays that means year is a leap year then next 4 years will always have 52 Sundays hence total number of Sundays are 53 + 3 x 52 = 209 Sundays.
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
? B scores 75 points while A 80
? B scores 60 points while A = 80 x 60 / 75 = 64
Again, A scores 80 points while C = 65
? A scores 64 points while C = 65 x 64 / 80 = 52 points
Hence, in a game of 60, B can give C (60 ? 52) = 8 points
Correct Answer: 120 litres

Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
2 ab = ( a 2 + b 2 ) - ( a - b ) 2
= 29 - 9 = 20
⟹ab = 10.
Correct Answer: 7:3
Explanation:
Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1
Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2
Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5
Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5
Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C
Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B
=> 4/5 : 3/5
x
3/5-x x - 4/5
=> = (equal quantities)
=> x = 7/10
Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C = 7
=> Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3
Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
