Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
1) Answer: c)
No of students in section III from school C = x
Total number of students in school C = x + 8 + 12 = 20 + x
Number of possible ways = 8C1 * 12C1 * xC1 * (20 + x – 3) C1 = 25920
8 * 12 * x * (17+x) = 25920
17x + x2 = 270
= > x2 + 17x – 270 = 0
= > x2 – 10x + 27x – 270 = 0
= > x (x – 10) + 27 (x – 10) = 0
= > x = 10, – 27 (Eliminate the –Ve value)
Number of students in section III from school C = 10
2) Answer: d)
Number of students in section III from school E = y
Total number of students in school E = (y + 12 + 18)
= y + 30
Number of possible ways = yC1 * 30C1 + yC2 = 195
= > y * 30 + (y*(y-1)/(1 *2)) = 195
= > 30y + (y2 – y)/2 = 195
= > 60y + y2 – y = 390
= > y2 + 59y – 390 = 0
= > y2 + 65y – 6y – 390 = 0
= > y (y + 65) – 6 (y + 65) = 0
= > (y + 65) (y – 6) = 0
= > y = 6, -65 (Eliminate –Ve value)
Total number of students in school E = 30 + 6 = 36
Required number of ways = 12C2 * 18C1 * 6C2
= (12*11 / 1*2) *18 *(6*5 / 1*2)
= 6*11*18*3*5
= 17820
3) Answer: b)
From I,
Number of students in section II from school A = n
Number of handshakes = nC2 = 105
= > [n*(n -1)] / (1 * 2) = 105
= > n2 – n = 210
= > n2 – n – 210 = 0
= > n2 – 15n + 14n – 210 = 0
= > (n – 15) (n – 14) = 0
= > n = 15, -14 (Eliminate –Ve value)
From statement I, We have to find only number of students in section II from school A. We can’t find the total number of students.
Hence, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the given question.
From II,
Total number of students in school A = x
Number of handshakes = xC2 = 780
= > x * (x – 1)/1*2 = 780
= > x2 – x = 780*2
= > x2 – x – 1560 = 0
= > x2 – 40x + 39x – 1560 = 0
= > x (x – 40) + 39 (x – 40) = 0
= > (x – 40) (x + 39) = 0
= > x = 40, -39 (Eliminate –Ve value)
Total number of students in school A is 40.
Hence, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the given question.
4) Answer: a)
Number of students in section II from school B = x
Number of students in section III from school B = 75/100 * x
= 3x/4
Total number of students in section II and III from school B = 20 – 6 = 14
= > x + 3x/4 = 14
= > 7x/4 = 14
= > x = 8
Number of students in section III from school B = 8 * 75/100 = 6
Quantity I:
Number of ways = 6C1*8C1*6C1*(20-3)C2
= 6 * 8 * 6 *(17*16/1*2)
= 6*8*6*17*8
= 39168
Quantity II: In committee Q, five students is to be formed from school B such that committee contains at least one student from section I.
Number of ways = 6C1*14C4 + 6C2*14C3 + 6C3*14C2 + 6C4*14C1 + 6C5
= 6006 + 5460 + 1820 + 210 + 6
= 13502
Hence, Quantity I > Quantity II
5) Answer: d)
Number of ways in school D = 8C3
= 8*7*6 / 1*2*3 = 56
Number of ways in school B = 6C3
= 6*5*4 / 1*2*3 = 20
Required percentage = (56/20) * 100 = 280%
Directions (6 – 10):
Ratio of number of Blue colour balls in bag A, B and C = 72: 120: 168 = 3: 5: 7
Let number of blue balls in bag A, B and C is 3x, 5x and 7x respectively.
Number of yellow balls in bag A = 3x * (5/3) = 5x
Total balls in bag A = (40 + 3x + 5x) = (40 + 8x)
Probability when two balls are selected from bag A and out of which one Red and other is Blue = [(40C1 * 3xC1)/(40 + 8x)C2] = 20/119
120x/(20 + 4x)(39 + 8x) = 20/119
3x/(5 + x)(39 + 8x) = 2/119
357x = 16x2 + 158x + 390
16x2 – 199x + 390 = 0
16x2 – 160x – 39x + 390 = 0
16x (x – 10) – 39 (x – 10) = 0
(16x – 39) (x – 10) = 0
= > x = 10, 39/16 (Eliminate the fraction value)
x = 10
Number of Blue balls in bag A = 3x = 30
Number of Yellow balls in bag A = 5x = 50
Total balls in bag A = 40 + 30 + 50 = 120
Number of Blue balls in bag B = 5x = 50
Number of Blue balls in bag C = 7x = 70
Let the number of yellow balls in bag B = b
Total balls in bag B = (60 + 50 + b) = (110 + b)
Probability when two Blue balls are selected from bag B = 50C2/(110 + b)C2
= (49/447)
(50 * 49)/[(110 + b)(110 + b – 1)] = 49/447
50/[(110 + b) (109 + b)] = 1/447
22350 = 11990 + 110b + 109b + b2
22350 = 11990 + 219b + b2
b2 + 219b – 10360 = 0
b2 + 259b – 40b – 10360 = 0
(b + 259) (b – 40) = 0
= > b = 40, -259 (Eliminate –ve value)
b = 40
Number of yellow balls in bag B = b = 40
Total balls in bag B = 60 + 50 + 40 = 150
Let the number of yellow balls in bag C = c
Probability of selecting a Blue ball from bag B = 50/150 = 1/3
Total balls in bag C = (20 + 70 + c) = (90 + c)
Probability of selecting a Blue ball from bag C = 70/(90 + c)
According to the question:
[70/(90 + c)] – (1/3) = 1/470/(90 + c) = 7/12
10/(90 + c) = 1/12
120 = 90 + c
c = 30
Number of yellow balls in bag C = c = 30
Total balls in bag C = 20 + 70 + 30 = 120
6) Answer: b)
Probability of selecting two red balls from bag A = 40C2/120C2
= (20 * 39)/(60/119) = (13/119)
Probability of selecting one yellow ball from bag B = 40/150 = (4/15)
Probability of selecting one blue ball from bag C = 70/120 = (7/12)
Required probability = (13/119) * (4/15) * (7/12) = (13/765)
7) Answer: d)
Probability of selecting two Blue colour balls from bag A = 30C2/120C2 = (29/476)
Probability of selecting either a red colour ball or a blue colour ball from bag B
= (60/150) + (50/150) = (11/15)
Required difference = (11/15) – (29/476) = (5236 – 435)/7140
= (4801/7140)
8) Answer: a)
Probability of selecting one blue colour ball from bag A = (30/120) = (1/4)
Probability of selecting one blue colour ball from bag B = (50/150) = (1/3)
Difference = (1/3) – (1/4) = (1/12)
Probability of selecting one red colour ball from bag B = (60/150) = (2/5)
Probability of selecting one red colour ball from bag C = (20/120) = (1/6)
Difference = (2/5) – (1/6) = (7/30)
Required per cent = [{(7/30) – (1/12)}/(7/30)] * 100 = (450/7)%
9) Answer: e)
Probability that both the selected balls from bag B and C are of red colour
= (60/150) * (20/120) = (1/15)
Probability that both the selected balls from bag B and C are of blue colour
= (50/150) * (70/120) = (7/36)
Probability that both the selected balls from bag B and C are of yellow colour
= (40/150) * (30/120) = (1/15)
Total probability = (1/15) + (7/36) + (1/15) = (59/180)
10) Answer: b)
After transfer, number of red colour balls in bag B = 60 – [83(1/3)% of 60]
= 10
After transfer, number of yellow colour balls in bag B = (40 + p)
Total balls in bag B after transfer = 10 + 50 + (40 + p) = (100 + p)
After transfer, number of red colour balls in bag C = 20 + [83(1/3)% of 60]
= 70
After transfer, number of yellow colour balls in bag C = (30 – p)
Total balls in bag C after transfer = 70 + 70 + (30 – p) = (170 – p)
Probability of selecting a red colour ball from bag B = [10/(100 + p)]
Probability of selecting a blue colour ball from bag C = [70/(170 – p)]
According to the question:
[10/(100 + p)] + [70/(170 – p)] = (11/20)20[10(170 – p) + 70(100 + p)] = 11(100 + p)(170 – p)
20[1700 – 10p + 7000 + 70p) = 11(17000 + 70p – p2)
174000 + 1200p = 187000 + 770p – 11p2
11p2 + 430p – 13000 = 0
11p2 – 220p + 650p – 13000 = 0
11p (p – 20) + 650 (p – 20) = 0
= > p = 20, – 650/11 (Eliminate –ve value)
p = 20
