Answer : 1. "40.36"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 40.36 Explanation: Given, mean of 100 observations is 40 => Total of 100 observations = 40 x 100 = 4000 84 is misread as 48 => Difference = 84 - 48 = 36 => Now, new total of 100 observations = 4000 + 36 = 4036 Correct Mean = 4036/100 = 40.36

Answer : 1. "14/33"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 14/33 Explanation: Total number of chairs = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12. Let S be the sample space. Then, n(s)= Number of ways of picking 2 chairs out of 12 = 12×11/2×1 = 66 Let n(E) = number of events of selecting 2 chairs for selecting no white chairs. => 8C2 = 8×7/2×1 = 28 Therefore required probability = 28/66 = 14/33.

Answer : 4. "39"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 39 Explanation: Let the two-digit number be 10a + ba + b = 12 --- (1)If a>b, a - b = 6If b>a, b - a = 6If a - b = 6, adding it to equation (1), we get2a = 18 => a =9so b = 12 - a = 3Number would be 93.if b - a = 6, adding it to the equation (1), we get2b = 18 => b = 9a = 12 - b = 3.Number would be 39.There fore, Number would be 39 or 93.
