Answer : 3. "(24-1)(23-1)25"
Explanation :

Answer: C) C Explanation: It is explicitly given that all the 4 black balls are different, all the 3 red balls are different and all the 5 blue balls are different. Hence this is a case where all are distinct objects.   Initially let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the black balls. Note that at least 1 black ball must be included in each selection.   Hence, we can select 1 black ball from 4 black ballsor 2 black balls from 4 black balls.or 3 black balls from 4 black balls.or 4 black balls from 4 black balls.   Hence, number of ways in which we can select the black balls   = 4C1 + 4C2 + 4C3 + 4C4= 24-1 ........(A)   Now let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the red balls. Note that at least 1 red ball must be included in each selection.   Hence, we can select 1 red ball from 3 red ballsor 2 red balls from 3 red ballsor 3 red balls from 3 red balls   Hence, number of ways in which we can select the red balls= 3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3=23-1........(B)   Hence, we can select 0 blue ball from 5 blue balls (i.e, do not select any blue ball. In this case, only black and red balls will be there)or 1 blue ball from 5 blue ballsor 2 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 3 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 4 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 5 blue balls from 5 blue balls.   Hence, number of ways in which we can select the blue balls= 5C0 + 5C1 + 5C2 + … + 5C5= 25..............(C)   From (A), (B) and (C), required number of ways=  2524-123-1

Answer : 3. "35 days"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 35 days Explanation: Distance d = 1200kmlet S be the speed he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs. S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph given 1 1/2 of previous speedso 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7 New speed = 12/7kmph Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day. time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs=> 490/14 = 35 days So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.

Answer : 2. "264 km"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 264 km Explanation: Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms Now, from the given data, d/20 = d/22 + 36 min => d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs => d = 132 km.   Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.
