Take 5 pills from jar 1, 4 pills from jar2,…. and 1 pill
from jar 5 and put altogether in the scale. the ideal
weight should be (1+2+3+4+5)x10= 150gms. for eg if the jar2
is contaminated then the weight will be 146 gms. so
depending on the amount of weight loss we can identify the
contaminated jar.

(3)^ 7.5 ÷ (27)^1.5 x (9)^2 = 3?
⇒(3)^7.5 ÷ {(3)^(3 x 1.5)} x {(3)^(2 x 2)} = 3 ?
⇒ 3^(7.5 – 4.5 + 4) = 3?
⇒ 3^7 = 3?
⇒ ? = 7

Out of 10 persons, 4 are graduates; so, (10 – 4) = 6 are under-graduates.

If there is no restriction, any three can be chosen from the ten in (10C3) = 120 ways.

Now, if all three chosen are under-graduates; it can take place in (6C3) = 20 ways.

Therefore, the probability that there will be no graduate among the three chosen = (20 / 120) = (1 / 6).

Therefore, the probability that there will be at least one graduate among the three chosen = {1 – (1 / 6)} = (5 / 6) = 0.8333.

(d) none of these.

C. 4

we know,
area=b*h
b gets increased by 20% i.e (b+0.20b)
h gets decreased by 20% i.e (h-0.20h)
rewriting the equation(area=b*h),
area=(b+0.20b)*(h-0.20h)
area=b(1+0.20)*h(1-0.20)
area=b(1.20)*h(0.80)
area=b*h*(1.20)*(0.80)
area=b*h*(0.96)
i.e new area=0.96 times the original area
if 100% was the original area,it has decreased to 96%
so,100%-96%= 4%

Either 4 or (-)4

A certain sum amounts to Rs. 1725 in 3 years

and amounts to Rs.1875 in 5 years

so interest of 2 years = 1875 -1725

= 150

so interest of 1 year = 75

so interest of 3 years = 75 × 3 =225 rs

so , Principal = Amount – SI

= 1725 – 225

= 1500 rs

now ,

S.I. = P × N × R /100

75 = 1500 × 1 × R /100

R = 75 / 15

R = 5%
