Institute of Plasma Research (IPR) Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

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.

Given:

In a group of 15 students,

7 have studied Latin,

8 have studied Greek,

3 have not studied either.

To find:

The number of students who studied both Latin and Greek.

Solution:

In a group of 15 students, have studied Latin, 8 have studied Greek, 3 have not studied either.

Therefore,

n(A∪B) = 15 – 3

n(A∪B) = 12

7 have studied Latin,

n(A) = 7

8 have studied Greek,

n(B) = 8

n(A∩B) is the number of students who studied both Latin and Greek.

n(A∩B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A∪B)

n(A∩B) = 7 + 8 – 12

n(A∩B) = 15 – 12

n(A∩B) = 3

The number of students who studied both Latin and Greek is 3

Final answer:

3 of them studied both Latin and Greek.

Thus, the correct answer .3

Friends,
The Answer given by ‘Gaurav Sharma’ is correct and
the approach (bottom to top) suggested by ‘Shailesh’ is
good. But with minor correction we can arrive the solution
using this approach:
After 5th loot, No. of breads left = 3
after 4th loot, no. of breads left = (3+0.5)x2 = 7
after 3rd loot, no. of breads left = (7+0.5)x2 = 15
after 2nd loot, no. of breads left = (15+0.5)x2 = 31
after 1st loot, no. of breads left = (31+0.5)x2 = 63
So, before 1st loot, no. of breads left = (63+0.5)x2 = 127

=((5/6)/(7/10)/(6/5))
=((5/6)*(6/5)/(7/10))
=(1/(7/10))
=10/7

A will finish work in 8 days (4days with B and 4 days with C).
