- Question
How many arrangements can be made out of the letters of the word DRAUGHT, the vowels never beings separated?
Options- A. 1440
- B. 720
- C. 360
- D. 640
- Correct Answer
- 1440
ExplanationThere are 7 letters in the word DRAUGHT, the two vowels are A and U. Since, the vowels are not to be separated, AU can be considered as one entity. Therefore, the number of letters will be 6 instead of 7. The permutations will be P(6,6) = 6! ways.
But the two vowels A and U can be arranged in two ways, i.e. AU and UA. The required number of arrangements = 2!.6! = 1440 ways.

∴42437 is not the square of a natural number.
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let the number be N.
Then, N - N/3 = 48
2N/3 = 48.
Correct Answer: 14 2⁄7% gain
Explanation:
| C.P. of 1 orange = Rs. | ❨ | 350 | ❩ | = Rs. 3.50 |
| 100 |
| S.P. of 1 orange = Rs. | ❨ | 48 | ❩ | = Rs. 4 |
| 12 |
| ∴ Gain% = | ❨ | 0.50 | x 100 | ❩% | = | 100 | % = 14 | 2 | % |
| 3.50 | 7 | 7 |
Correct Answer: 24 ways
Explanation:
When E is fixed in the middle, then there are four places left to be filled by four remaining letters O, M, G and A and this can be done in 4! ways.
? Total number of ways = 4! = 24
Correct Answer: 89 sec
Explanation:
| Speed = | ❨ | 240 | ❩m/sec = 10 m/sec. |
| 24 |
| ∴ Required time = | ❨ | 240 + 650 | ❩sec = 89 sec. |

Correct Answer: 15 days
Explanation:
X's 1 day's work = 1/12
(X + Y)' s 1 day's work = 3/20
? Y's 1 day's work = (3/20) - (1/12) = 4/60 = 1/15
? Number of day's taken by Y to complete the work = 15 days
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Let rate = R% and time = R years.
| Then, | ❨ | 1200 x R x R | ❩ | = 432 |
| 100 |
⟹ 12R2 = 432
⟹ R2 = 36
⟹ R = 6.
Correct Answer: 27 7⁄9 m
Explanation:
| Relative speed = (40 - 20) km/hr = | ❨ | 20 x | 5 | ❩ | m/sec = | ❨ | 50 | ❩ | m/sec. |
| 18 | 9 |
| ∴ Length of faster train = | ❨ | 50 | x 5 | ❩ | m = | 250 | m = 27 | 7 | m. |
| 9 | 9 | 9 |
Correct Answer: 11 !/2
Explanation:
Number of arrangements of beads = (12 - 1) !, but it is not mentioned that either it is clockwise or anti - clockwise .
So, required number of arrangements = [(12 - 1)! ] / 2 = 11 !/2
