Choice of answers - 25%, 33 1/3%, 40%, 50%, 66 2/3%

x=1/2y
x+y=3/2y

now the Q is x is what percent of x+y

i.e
3/2y=100%
1/2y=?

?=33 1/3%

If on the first three days of the vacation the probability of rain on each day is .2, what is the probability that malachi will return home at the end of the day on the following monday?

Choice of Answers - .008, .0128, .488, .512, .640


making an assumption that malachi returns only when it rains

probability of raining=.2
probability of not raining=1-.2=.8


does not rain on first day=0.8
does not rain on 2 day=0.8
rains on 3 day=0.2

0.8*.8*.2
0.128

1. A photographer will arrange 6 people of 6 different heights for photograph by placing them in two rows of three so that each person in the 1st row is standing in fron t of someone in the second row. The heights of the people within each row must increase from left to right, and each person in the second row must be taller than the person standing in front of him or her. How many such arrangements of teh people are possible?

Choice of Answers - 5,6,9,24,36


1 2 3 4 5 6 be the six people with increasing heights.

1 will always stand in left corner of row 1
6 will always stand in right corner of row 2.

now we have 4 people ( 2 3 4 5) to arrange in 4 seats. 2 in the front and 2 in the back.

select 2 people from 4 people who will sit in the first row = 4C2 ways = 6.
but a case when both 4 and 5 are in the first row. is not acceptable. we need to have atleast one of 4 or 5 in the second row. hence subtract 1.
hence, answer = 6 - 1 =5

4. The points R,T,U lie on a circle that has radius 4. If the length of arc RTU is 4pi/3, what is the length of line segment RU?

Choice of answers - 4/3, 8/3, 3,4,6


lenght of arc =2*pi*r*(angle/360)
given length of arc=4pi/3

4pi/3=2*pi*r*(angle/360)
angle=60

centre of circle be O
OR and OU lenth same as both r radius
hence triangle ORU is equilateral triangle

length of RU is 4

Isn't 4C2 = 4x3 = 12 rather than 6. Kindly explain
