A die is thrown twice n(s)=36
The probability of getting same number is (1,1)(2,2)(3,3)
(4,4)(5,5)(6,6) i.e n(A)=6
Ans. P(A)=n(A)/n(s)
= 6/36
=1/6.
So, The Answer is 1/6

16

1+1=2
2+2=4
3+4-7
4+7=11
5+11=16

a = 2
d = 5 – 2 = 3
Then 12th term is :
This in arithmetic progression
L = a + (12 – 1) d
L = 2 + 11 * 3
L = 2 + 33 = 35

Monday
7days for a week so 62÷7 remainder is 6 so
After Tuesday + 6days = monday

(b) 16.66%

Earlier for ₹x we could purchase y gm of sugar.
Now we pay ₹1.2x for y gm of sugar

(As there was an increase in price so, x + 20%x = 1.2x)

At current rates for ₹x you can purchase y/1.2 gm of sugar

So the reduced consumption is y-(y/1.2)

Percentage change = (reduced consumption/ original consumption ) *100

That is (0.2/1.2) *100 = 16.66% (approx)

The correct Answer is 69

Prob(choosing two people who are a couple from 6 couples) = 1/6
We have 5 couple left (10 people)
Prob(choosing a person A from 10 people) = 1/10
Prob(choosing 1 person who is not a couple of A) = 1/8

Prob(choosing 4 people that has exactly one couple) = 1/6*1/8*1/10 = 0.0021
