Can neone help me understand this more clearly. I understand why ajith is correct. However, can't you also say P(A) = boys P(B) = girls P(AandB) = choosing boys and girls? P(A)*P(BgivenA) = [5/16]*[11/15] = 11/48 I get 11/24 as above when I do P(B)*P(B) = 11/16 * 10/15 = 11/24 Correct me what I'm t...

Congrats on the big jump. What's more your experience can probably be incorporated in to the MBA admissions process as well showing ad coms how you overcame failure and succeeded in the end. Although from the date of the post, I'm guessing you've applied last fall already. One piece of advice I'd ad...

Qn 6. Find the number of arrangements of the letter in the word PENCILS if (i) E precedes I, (ii) there are three letters between E and I.

Ans is d. 35

(2)[(10)^35] = (2).((2)^35).((5)^35) = (2^36)(5^35)

On the other side you have 5^m and 4^18

4^18 = ((2)^2)^18 = 2^36

2^36 cancels out on either side and you're left with 5^m = 5^35

If in the 2nd chance ,the game ends :- P = 39/52[A chooese any of the other 39 cards) x 13/52(B chooses one of the 13 hearts) = 3/4 x 1/4 =3/16 How do you get (39/52)*(13/52)? Shouldn't it be (39/52)*(13/51) because when B chooses one of the 13 hearts, A has already picked one and therefore, there ...

yup I agree.. I dont see how it can possibly make sense either

Am I missing something?

At a certain diner, a hamburger and coleslaw cost $3.59 and a hamburger and french fries cost $4.40. If french fries cost twice as much as coleslaw, how much do french fries cost?

(A) $0.30
(B) $0.45
(C) $0.60
(D) $0.75
(E) $0.90

OA: E

I can't figure this one out for the life of me!

1) Insufficient
2) Insufficient

TOGETHER they are sufficient
