Ques:- Three 6 faced dice are thrown together. The probability that exactly two dice show the same number on them is -.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 18:05:55:

Let A, B and C be the three 6-faced dice.
Then, according to the question,
Since two dices has to be equal, that value can be any of the 6 faces, i.e., 6C1​ cases.
Now for each case, 2 equal dices can be selected from 3 dices in 3C2​ i.e., 3 ways.
And for each of the above, the third dice can have any of the 5 remaining faces
The possible outcomes are P(A)=61​,P(B)=61​,P(C)=65​,P(A)=61​,P(B)=65​,P(C)=61​ and P(A)=65​,P(B)=61​,P(C)=61​
Hence the required probability = 61​×61​×65​×6×3=21690​=125​

Ques:- Give two dice – one is a standard dice, the other is blank (nothing painted on any of the faces). The problem is to paint the blank dice in such a manner so that when you roll both of them together, the sum of both the faces should lie between 1 and 12. Numbers from 1-12 (both inclusive) equally likely.

Ques:- If a man can cover 12 metres in one second, how many kilometres can he cover in 3 hours 45 minutes?
Recent Answer : Added by Sohini Mitra On 2022-09-02 17:02:39:

3hour 45 min = 13500 sec
In 1 sec he covers = 12 m
In 13500 sec he covers = 12×13500 m = (12×13500)/1000 km = 162 km

Ans : 162 km

Ques:- P, Q, R, S, T and U are six cities which are in a row in the same order. A bus, b1 travels from P to U and another bus b2 travel from U to P. The bus b1 reaches S at 10:40 and bus b2 reaches Q at 10:35 if the travel time between any two adjacent cities is 40 minutes and the stoppage time at each city is 15 minutes. Which city do the two buses meet?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-17 06:28:10:

Answer: 8:10, 7:10

Explanation:

The bus b1, which started at P, reached S at 10:40, passing through the intermediary cities Q and R.

The time taken to travel from P to S
= 3 * 40 + 2 * 15 = 150minute
(journey)+(stoppage) = 2 hrs 30 minutes.
Hence, b1 started at 10:40 – 2:30 = 8:10 at P.
b2 reached Q, starting at U, through the city T, S and R.
The time taken by it to reach S = 4 * 40 + 3 * 15 = 205 minutes = 3 hr 25 minutes.
Hence, b2 started at, 10:35 – 3:25 = 7:10, at U.

Ques:- If a salesman’s average is a new order every other week, he will break the office record of the year. However, after 28 weeks, he is six orders behind schedule. In what proportion of the remaining weeks does he have to obtain a new order to break the record?
Recent Answer : Added by narendra On 2021-12-25 15:45:39:

Assume there are 52 weeks in one year.
Since he supposed to have a new order for every two weeks, he
needs 52/2 = 26 orders to break the office record.

Now after 28 weeks,he has got only 28/2 -6 = 8 orders.

Hence,he needs 26-8 = 18 new orders in the remaining 24= 52-28 weeks to break the office record.

Compute 24 orders/18 weeks = 4/3 orders/week ,
we see that averagely he has a new order for
every 4/3 weeks in the remaining weeks to break the office record.

Ques:- Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror, facing it. Raise your left hand. Raise your right hand. Look at your reflection. When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be his right hand. But when you tilt your head up, your reflection does too, and does not appear to tilt his/her head down. Why is it that the mirror appears to reverse left and right, but not up and down
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-30 16:27:07:

The definition of left and right depends on the observer and
is reversed when facing the opposite direction. The
definition of up and down does not depend on the orientation
of the observer.

Recent Answer : Added by Jade On 2022-09-22 16:41:17:

First write equations from info:
(A) (Mon + Tue + Wed)/3 = 111 Rearrange as ——–> Tue + Wed = 111 – Mon
(B) (Tue + Wed + Thu)/3 =102 Rearrange as ——–> Tue + Wed = 102 – Thu
(C) Thu = 0.8(Mon)

Substitute equation C into B:
(B) Tue + Wed = 102 – 0.8(Mon)

At this point I changed the values for clearer algebra:
Mon = x
Tue + Wed = y

Re-write equations A & B with new values:
(A) y = 111 – x
(B) y = 102 – 0.8x

Solve simultaneous equations:

111 – x = 102 – 0.8x
111 – 102 = x – 0.8x (Re-arraged)
9 = 0.2x
x = 45

Thus, Mon = 45C

Thu = 0.8(45)
Thu = 36C

So the answer is it was 36C on Thursday
