1) distance = sqrt((6-1)^2+(2-(-1))^2) = sqrt(34)

2) a1 = 3
a2=a1*3
a3=3^2*3
a4=3^3*3 Sufficient
Statement 2 is insufficient

3) 8*10^-2
8*10^-3
8*10^-4
8*10^-1
88*10^-2

Second largest is 8*10^-1

4) Total outcomes 8C4
Favourable outcomes = 5C2*3C2

Probability of having exactly 2 women in a team of 4 is

5C2*3C2/8C4 = 3/7

5) 8C5 = 56

In a sequence of terms in which each term is three times the previous term, what is the fourth term?

(1) The first term is 3.

(2) The second-to-last term is 3^10.
Solution:
Consider first (1) alone.
If the first term is 3, second term is 3^2 = 9, third term is 3^3 = 27, and fourth term is 3^4 = 81.
So, (1) alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Next consider (2) alone.
Knowing the second-to-last term will not help since we need to know the number of terms in the sequence as well.
So, (2) alone is not sufficient.

The correct answer is (A).

Since 5 candidates are to be chosen from 8 candidates, so the number of ways of doing so = 8C5 = 8!/(5! * 3!) = (8 * 7 * 6)/6 = 56

The correct answer is D.

4
7
sqr of 34
sqr of 26
sqr of 58
The length/distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) with given coordinates is given by:
√{(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²}
In the given question the distance between given points = √{[2 - (-1)]² + (6 - 1)²} = √(3² + 5²) = √( 9 + 25) = √34

The correct answer is C.

2 women can be chosen from 5 women in 5C2 = 10 ways
Since in all 4 employees are to be selected, and 2 have to be women, so the remaining 2 have to be men.
So, no. of ways of choosing 2 men from 3 men = 3C2 = 3 ways
Since in all 4 employees are chosen from 8 employees , so no. of ways of doing so = 8C4 = 70
Required probability = (10 * 3)/70 = 3/7

The correct answer is D.
