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 : 3. "200 mts"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 200 mts Explanation: Let the length of the train be 'L' mts let the speed of the train be 'S' m/s Given it crosses a pole in 10 sec=> L/S = 10 ......(1)Given it takes 20 sec (double of pole) to cross a platform of length 200 mts => (L + 200)/S = 20 => L/S + 200/S = 20 But from (1) L/S = 10 => 200/S = 20 - 10 => S = 20 m/s Then, from (1) => L = 10 x 20 = 200 mts. Hence, the length of the train = 200 mts.
