Answer : 3. "20"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 20 Explanation: We know that, Total probability = 1 Given probability of black stones = 1/4 => Probability of blue and white stones = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 But, given blue + white stones = 9 + 6 = 15 Hence, 3/4 ----- 15 1 ----- ? => 15 x 4/3 = 20. Hence, total number of stones in the box = 20.

Answer : 3. "60 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 60 kmph Explanation: Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Total distance traveled by Joel = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours. Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3 x 60 = 180 milesDistance covered in the next 5 hours = 5 x 24 = 120 miles Therefore, total distance traveled = 180 + 120 = 300 miles. Total time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 hours. Average speed = 300/8 = 37.5 mph. we know that 1 mile = 1.6 kms => 37.5 miles = 37.5 x 1.6 = 60 kms Average speed in Kmph = 60 kmph.
