20/20 * 1/19 = 1/19
for the first shoe, you can take any out of 20. so probability = 20/20
haven chosen the shoe, we are left with only 1 matching shoe out of the remaining 19, so probability = 1/19

all integers in between means that the set is a sequence of consecutive integers. Recall that in a sequence of consecutive integers, the mean will equal the median. Also, in a set of consecutive integers, the mean of the first and last numbers will equal the mean of the whole set (since the mean of ...

a. -4
b. -2 [2 more than A]
c. -1 [3 more than A]
d. 2 [6 more than A]
e. 5 [9 more than A]
nice, so we do have a pattern ... 4 answers have a difference of a multiple of 3 except B ... 3, 6, 9 are all multiples of 3
so we can select B without solving much

time taken by A & B working together = a*b/(a+b)
60b/(60+b)=24
b=40
b takes 40mins to complete the task
B in a minute=x/40
A in a minute=x/60
x/40-x/60=5
x=600

a leak can empty in 8 hrs but it took 12 hrs to empty ... so it basically emptied 1.5 tank
thus, 0.5 tank was filled by inlet pipe
rate of inlet pipe = 360 ltr/hr
in 12 hrs = 360*12 lts
capacity of tank is double of what inlet pipe emptied = 360*12*2 = 8640 ltrs

i'll use almost the same method as eaakbari has ... except i'll make use of the following equation. time taken by A & B working together = a*b/(a+b) at 7am .. A has traveled half the distance .. so time till destination = 2hrs time required by B to travel half the distance = 3.5/2 = 7/4 time tak...

simplicity
let's try to simplify the rule ... for a moment, just forget about this rule now see the example: The swarm (of flies) was very dense. now it's clear whether to use 'was' or 'were'. there could be sentences that get complex. the number of cars that were present in the city area was increasing. now l...
