Answer : 3. "70%"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 70% Explanation: Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420. New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125New S.P. = Rs. 420. Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295 Required percentage = (295/420) * 100 = 70%(approx)

Answer : 2. "Diamagnetic"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Diamagnetic Explanation: Paramagnetic Molecules :: If the Electronic configuration of a molecule has any unpaired electrons, then that molecule is said to be Paramagnetic. Diamagnetic Molecules :: If the Electronic configuration of a molecule has only paired or spin paired electrons, then that molecule is said to be Diamagnetic. Here the molecule C2 has all paired electrons in its electronic configuration. So C2 is Diamagnetic. Whereas, B2 molecule has unpaired electrons. So B2 is Paramegnetic.

Answer : 2. "Public"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Public Explanation: An IP address (internet protocol address) is a numerical representation that uniquely identifies a specific interface on the network. Addresses in IPv4 are 32-bits long. This allows for a maximum of 4,294,967,296 (2^32) unique addresses. Addresses in IPv6 are 128-bits, which allows for 3.4 x 1038 (2^128) unique addresses. IP addresses available to the internet are classified as Public.

Answer : 3. "246"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 246 Explanation: A Committee of 5 persons is to be formed from 6 gentlemen and 4 ladies by taking. (i) 1 lady out of 4 and 4 gentlemen out of 6 (ii) 2 ladies out of 4 and 3 gentlemen out of 6 (iii) 3 ladies out of 4 and 2 gentlemen out of 6 (iv) 4 ladies out of 4 and 1 gentlemen out of 6 In case I the number of ways = C14×C46 = 4 x 15 = 60 In case II the number of ways = C24×C36 = 6 x 20 = 120 In case III the number of ways = C34×C26 = 4 x 15 = 60 In case IV the number of ways = C44×C16 = 1 x 6 = 6 Hence, the required number of ways = 60 + 120 + 60 + 6 = 246
Q: A bag contains 4 red and 3 black balls. A second bag contains 2 red and 4 black balls. One bag is selected at random. From the selected bag, one ball is drawn. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red. 2189 05b5cc7d0e4d2b4197775121d

Answer : 2. "19/42"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 19/42 Explanation: A red ball can be drawn in two mutually exclusive ways (i) Selecting bag I and then drawing a red ball from it. (ii) Selecting bag II and then drawing a red ball from it. Let E1, E2 and A denote the events defined as follows: E1 = selecting bag I, E2 = selecting bag II A = drawing a red ball Since one of the two bags is selected randomly, therefore P(E1) = 1/2 and P(E2) = 1/2 Now, PAE1 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the first bag has been selected = 4/7 PAE2 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the second bag has been selected = 2/6 Using the law of total probability, we have P(red ball) = P(A) = PE1×PAE1+PE2×PAE2 = 12×47+12×26=1942
