Correct Answer: 4 months
Explanation:
S.I. on Rs. 1600 = T.D. on Rs. 1680.
∴ Rs. 1600 is the P.W. of Rs. 1680, i.e., Rs. 80 is on Rs. 1600 at 15%.
| ∴ Time = | ❨ | 100 x 80 | ❩year | = | 1 | year = 4 months. |
| 1600 x 15 | 3 |
Correct Answer: 5%
Explanation:
Let T.D. be Re. 1.
| Then, B.D. = Rs. | 11 | = Rs. 1.10. |
| 10 |
| ∴ Sum = Rs. | ❨ | 1.10 x 1 | ❩ | = Rs. | ❨ | 110 | ❩ | = Rs. 11. |
| 1.10 - 1 | 10 |
∴ S.I. on Rs. 11 for 2 years is Rs. 1.10
| ∴ Rate = | ❨ | 100 x 1.10 | ❩% | = 5%. |

| 21 |
Explanation:
Total number of balls = (2 + 3 + 2) = 7.
Let S be the sample space.
| Then, n(S) | = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7 | |||
| = 7C2 ` | ||||
|
||||
| = 21. |
Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue.
| ∴ n(E) | = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 + 3) balls. | |||
| = 5C2 | ||||
|
||||
| = 10. |
| ∴ P(E) = | n(E) | = | 10 | . |
| n(S) | 21 |
Correct Answer: 7/8
Explanation:
Here S = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT, HHH}
Let E = event of getting at most two heads.
Then E = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT}.
| ∴ P(E) = | n(E) | = | 7 | . |
| n(S) | 8 |
Correct Answer: Rs. 96
