Answer : 1. "(1/2)^11"
Explanation :
Answer: A) (1/2)^11 Explanation: Probability of occurrence of an event, P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S) ⇒ Probability of getting head in one coin = ½, ⇒ Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½, Hence, All the 11 tosses are independent of each other. ∴ Required probability of getting only 2 times heads =122×129=1211
Q: If the price of diesel increases by 25% and Karthik intends to spend only an additional 15% on diesel, by how much % will he reduce the quantity of diesel purchased ? 2154 05b5cc6d3e4d2b4197774e4a5

Answer : 2. "8 %"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 8 % Explanation: Let the price of 1 litre of diesel be Rs.x and let Karthik initially buy 'y' litres of diesel. Therefore, he would have spent Rs. xy on diesel. When the price of diesel increases by 25%, the new price per litre of diesel is 1.25x. Karthik intends to increase the amount he spends on diesel by 15%.i.e., he is willing to spend xy + 15% of xy = 1.15xy Let the new quantity of diesel that he can get be 'q'.Then, 1.25x x q = 1.15xyOr q = (1.15/1.25)y = 0.92y. As the new quantity that he can buy is 0.92y, he gets 0.08y lesser than what he used to get earlier. Or a reduction of 8%.

Answer : 2. "204 m"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 204 m Explanation: To find the minimum distance, we have to get the LCM of 75, 80, 85 Now, LCM of 75, 80, 85 = 5 x 15 x 16 x 17 = 20400 Hence, the minimum distance each should walk so that thay can cover the distance in complete steps = 20400 cms = 20400/100 = 204 mts.

Answer : 1. "25200"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 25200 Explanation: Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4) =( C37×C24 ) = 210. Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels =210 Each group contains 5 letters. Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves = 5! = 120. Required number of words = (210 x 120) = 25200.
