Answer: D) 1/14 Explanation: The 8 letters can be written in 8! ways.n(S) = 8!Let E be the event that the letters b,c,d,e always come together when the first 8 alphabets are written down.Now the letters a, (bcde), f, g and h can be arranged in 5! ways.The letters b,c,d and e can be arranged themselves in 4! ways.n(E) = 5! x 4!Now, the required P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 5! x 4!/8! = 1/14Hence the answer is 1/14.

Answer: D) 150 lit Explanation: To cover a distance of 800 kms using a 800 cc engine, the amount of diesel required = 80 litres. => the amount of diesel required to cover a distance of 1000 kms = 1000 x 80/800 = 100 litres However, the vehicle uses a 1200 cc engine and it is given that the amount of diesel required varies directly as the engine capacity. i.e., for instance, if the capacity of engine doubles, the diesel requirement will double too. Therefore, with a 1200 cc engine, quantity of diesel required = 1200/800 x 100 = 150 litres.
