Answer : 2. "1/2"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1/2 Explanation: We know that: When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52 We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards⇒ The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26 Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S) ∴ required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.

Answer : 4. "360 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 360 mts Explanation: Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/sDistance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts.But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.

Answer : 1. "400 m"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 400 m Explanation: Speed = 78 x 5/18 = 65/3 m/sec.Time = 1 min = 60 sec.Let the length of the train be x meters.Then, (900 + x)/60 = 65/3x = 400 m.
Q: A tank is filled in eight hours by three pipes K, L and M. Pipe K is twice as fast as pipe L, and L is twice as fast as M. How much time will pipe L alone take to fill the tank ? 1263 05b5cc6dfe4d2b4197774eaee

Answer : 3. "28 hrs"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 28 hrs Explanation: 1/K + 1/L + 1/M = 1/8 (Given)Also given that K = 2L and L = 2M=> 1/2L + 1/L + 2/L = 1/8=> (1 + 2 + 4)/2L = 1/8=> 2L/7 = 8=> L = 28 hours.

Answer :
Explanation :
A number of possible explanations for why manhole covers are round include : 1. A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square, rectangular, or oval manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole. 2. Circular covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening. 3. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled. 4. Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section. 5. Round tubes are the strongest shape against the compression of the earth around them, so the cover of the tube would naturally be round as well. 6. It’s easier to dig a circular hole.

Answer : 3. "5/9"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 5/9 Explanation: Here n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36 E={(1,2),(1,5),(2,1),(2,4),(3,3),(3,6),(4,2),(4,5),(5,1),(5,4),(6,3) ,(6,6),(1,3),(2,2),(2,6),(3,1),(3,5), (4,4),(5,3),(6,2)} => n(E)=20 Required Probability n(P) = n(E)/n(S) = 20/36 = 5/9.
