ANSWERS
1. 3;
n(S) = 18C2 = 9 × 17 = 153
n(E) = 8C1 × 10C1 = 8 × 10 = 80
P(E) = 80/153

2. 4;
Number of permutation of 6 papers without restriction is 6P6 = 6!
If we consider the best and worst as one paper then number of permutation of (6 – 2 + 1) = 5 papers is
5P5 = 5!
These two papers are arranged beteween themself in 2! ways.
So number of arrangement when the best and worst never comes together is 6! – 5! × 2!
= 720 – (120 × 2) = 720 – 240 = 480

3. 1;
Total persons = 6 + 9 = 15
Number of groups that can be formed of 7 persons
= 15C7 = (15*14*13*12*11*10*9)/(1*2*3*4*5*6*7)  = 6435

4. 3;
Cost of covering the playground = 4800 × 0.01 × 480
= Rs 23040

5. 3

Solutions (5-10):

6. 1
7. 2
8. 1
9. 2
10. 3

Solutions (11-15)
11. 4; Population = 12 * 110/100 = 13.2 lakh

12. 3; Data not sufficient
r = (100 * SI)/ P*t
We have ‘S.I.’ and ‘t’ but we need ‘P’ also.

13. 2; Let number of male be 5x and female 3x.
From (I)
5x + 3x = 32
x = 4
Male = 20
From (II)
5x – 3x = 8
x = 4
So, male = 20

14. 1
15. 4
