1. There are 16 teams divided in 4 groups.

Every team from each group will play with each other once.
The top 2 teams will go to the next round and so on the top two teams will play the final match.
Minimum how many matches will be played in that tournament?

a)43 b)40 c)14 d)50

In each group, total matches played = 4C2 = 6.


So total matches played in the first round = 6 × 4 = 24
Now top two teams from each group progress to the next round. Now these 8 teams are pooled into 2
groups. Total matches played in the second round = 6 × 2 = 12
Now 4 teams progress to the next round. Total matches played in the third round = 6
From this round, 2 teams progress to the next round. And final will be played between them.
Total matches = 24 2+ 12 + 6 + 1 = 43

In how many ways can 7 distinct objects be divided among three people so that either
one or two of them do not get any object?

Case 1: Two guys don't get anything. All items go to 1 person. Hence, 3 ways.
Case 2: 1 guy doesn't get anything. Division of 7 items among 2 guys. Lets say they are called A & B.

a) A gets 6. B gets 1. 7 ways.


b) A gets 5. B gets 2. 21 ways.
c) A gets 4. B gets 3. 35 ways.
d) A gets 3. B gets 4. 35 ways.
e) A gets 2. B gets 5. 21 ways.
f) A gets 1. B gets 6. 7 ways.

Total = 126 ways to divide 7 items between A & B.


Total number of ways for case 2 = 126*3 = 378 (Either A, or B, or C don't get anything).

Answer = Case 1 + Case 2 = 3 + 378 = 381

assume there are three persons A,B ,C


now consider following two cases
1.
A do not get anything
in this case 7 objects can be distributed between B and C as follows
BC
1 6 - total ways are 7!/1!*6!=7
2 5 -total ways are 7!/2!*5!=21
3 4 - total ways are 7!/3!*4!=35
4 3 - total ways are 7!/4!*3!=35
5 2 - total ways are 7!/5!*2!=21
6 1 - total ways are 7!/6!*1!=7
hence total ways of distributing objects between B and C = 126
similarly for (A c)and(AB) each =126
CASE2-
two persons do not get anything
in thi case there will be three waya these are
007 ,070 ,700
combining both the cases
total no of ways =126*3+3=381

There is a row of 50 children of which 2 of them are girls.They are standing in an initial
order such that a set of 6 boys, who are armature astronomers, stand next to each
other in a certain order. Now the positions of boys and girls are shuffled such that ,the
order of girls remain the same the amature astronomers are together in the same
order, but the position and order of remaining boys are changed.How many distinct
arrangements of the students can be done (including the initial order) by preserving the
order of girls and keeping the amature astronomers together .
(a) 44 ! (b) 44 ! * 946 (c) 43 ! * 946 (d) 43 !
A mother with 7 children takes three at a time to a cinema. She goes with every group
of three that she with distinct can form. How many times can she go to the cinema with
distinct groups of three children? How many times an individual child will go to cinema
before the group is repeated.

6 boys considered as 1 unit and 2 girls considered as 1 unit(orders are same)


Remaining boys =50-6-2=42
Each boy can be arranged in 1 way,so 42 boys in 42! ways
so,42!+1!+1!=44!
ans)44!

In the island of punycity license plates for cars consists of 3 letters.


2 license plates are considered if and only if they contain the same
3 letters in the same order .How many punycity license plates are
possible if the letter Q cannot occur as the last character and can
only occur when the letter immediately after it is U ?
a)17575 b)15625 c)15675 d)17650

we have 26 letters.
so without Q now we have 25 letters.
so the license consist of 3 letters.
so now no of combinations can be possible 25*25*25=15625.
now if u put q in the license then it must like this
Q U _ = for this combination we have 25 values
_ Q U = for this combination we have 25 values
now the total combinations will be=15625+25+25=15675. :)

There are 4 boxes colored red, yellow, green and blue. If 2 boxes are selected, how
many combinations are there for at least one green box or one red box to be selected?

lets fix that one box is green then no of selection of 1 box from red, yellow blue is 3C1......
lets fix that one box is red then no of selection of 1 box from green, yellow blue is 3C1......
so total combination=3c1+3c1=6
but red and green occur in both cases which are similar so we reduce solution by 1 so total number of
ways= 6-1= 5

In how many ways can the letters of english alphabets is arranged


so that there are 7 letters between the letters A & B and no letter is
repeated?

we select 7 letters from 26-2(exclude a,b)


so we select 24p7 ways
and we arranged in 2 ways(start with either a or b)
remaining 18 in 18! ways

A and B plays a game of dice between them. The consist of colors on their faces (
instead of numbers). When the dices are thrown, A wins if both show the same color.
Otherwise B wins. One die has 4 re face and 2 blue faces. How many red and blue faces
should the other die have if the both players have the same chances of winning?
a)3 red and 3 blue b) 2 red and remaining blue c) 6 red and 2 blue d) 4 red and 2 blue

Second dice has n red faces and (6-n) blue faces

For A and B to have an equal chance of winning probability of A winning = 0.5


Probability of A winning = [1/6 * (n/6)] + [5/6 * (6-n)/6] = 0.5
n/36 + (30-5n)/36 = 18/36
n + 30 - 5n = 18
30 - 4n = 18
4n = 12
n=3

The second dice must have 3 red faces and 3 blue faces

A father purchased dress for his 3 daughters. The dresses are of same color but diff size
and they are kept in dark room. what is probability that all the 3 will not choose their
own dress?

the arrangement will follow this way =>first girl will choose wrong dress AND second girl will wrong
dress AND the third girl will choose wrong dress.
since there are three dresses so .
=>first girl will choose wrong = 1-(1/3) = 2/3
now two dress are left
=>second girl will choose wrong out of two dress left => 1-(1/2) =1/2
now third girl will chose in only one way=1
so required probability= 2/3*1/2*1
=1/3 (ans)

Lady has 2 select gloves & hat from a basket. In the dark, she can distinguish hat &

In how many ways can 7 different objects be dived among 3 persons so that either one
or two of them do not get any object?
a. 381 b. 180 c. 36 d. 84

case 1: when one of them do not get any object, then the objects will be divided among 2 persons.
no. of ways to select 2 persons= 3c2.
no. of ways to divide 7 objects among 2 persons= 2^7.
so required no. of ways= 3c2(2^7-2) = 378 [when none of them get any object]

case 2: when objects are given to only one person.


reqd. no. of ways= 3c1 =3.
so, total no. of ways = 378+3 = 381

Paul the octopus who has been forecasting the outcome of FIFA world cup matches with
tremendous
accuracy has now been invited to predict ICC world cup matches in 2011. Wewill
assume that the world cup
contenders have been divided into 2 groups of 9 teams each. Each team in a group
plays the other teams in the
group. The top two teams from each group enter the semifinals ( after which the winner
is decided by
knockout).
However, Paul has a soft spot for India and when India plays any team, Paul always
backs India. Alas, his
predictions on matches involving India are right only 2 out of 3 times. In order to
qualify for the semi finals, it
is sufficient for India to win 7 of its group matches. What is the probability that India
will win the ICC world
cup?
a) (2/3)^10
b) (2/3)^9 + 8/3 * (2/3)^9
c) 8/3 * (2/3)^9
d) (2/3)^10 + 8/3*(2/3)^9

Solution is d)
Here winning prob is 2/3 ,so loosing prob is 1/3.

If India win all 10 matches then probability is (2/3)^10


If India loose any one match out of any 8 league matches then probability of winning 7 league
matches is (2/3)^7. and for one loose match probability is (1/3).
so these two is also arrange in 8 possible cases, which is arranged as 8{(2/3)^9 * (1/3)}.
Hence total probability is (2/3)^10 + 8/3 * (2/3)^9

How many ways can Jason sit with his five friends in a row of six seats with an
aisle on either side of the row, if Jason insists on sitting one of the aisles?
a) 120 b) 240 c) 360 d) 540

ans is 240 : Because Jason must sit on either aisle, there are two places he can sit. And for
each of those two seats, there are five friends left for five seats, making 5! ways to arrange
them. So the answer is 2 * 5!, which is 240.
2 towns divided into 4 zones with 3 town in each. Every town of
same zone is connected to the town in its zone with 3 direct
telephone lines. The town from one zone is connected to town of
other zone by one direct line. How many direct lines are required?
Consider a town in Zone 1. There are 9 towns outside this zone.

Hence 9 lines are required to connect between this town and the other 9 towns.

Similarly, there are 12 towns, each with 9 towns outside its own zone.

So, totally, there will be 9*12 / 2 = 9* 6 = 54 lines inter zone (Divided by 2 comes here
because, after half, it is repeated).

Alternate way for inter zone:

1st zone each town has to connect to 9 other towns = 27 lines.

2nd zone – each town has to connect to 6 other zones, as the 1st zone is already accounted
for. So 6*3 = 18.

3rd zone – each town has to connect to 3 other zones, as the 1st and 2nd zone is already
accounted for. So 3 * 3 = 9.

4th zone is accounted for already.

Hence, totally 26 + 18 + 9 = 54 zones.

So, the total number of lines will be 36 (within zone) + 54 ( inter zone) = 90.

In his wardrobe, Pawan has 3 trousers. One of them is black, the


other is blue, and the third is brown. In the wardrobe, he also has 4
shirts. One of them is black and the other 3 are white. He opens his
wardrobe in the dark and picks out one shirt and trouser pair
without examining their color. What is the likelihood that neither the
shirt nor the trouser is black ?
Option
1) 1⁄12
2) 1⁄6
3) 1⁄4
4) 1⁄2
total 3 trousers in that,
no of black trousers =1
total shirts=4
no of black shirts=1
therefore,possibilty of picking trouser is black= 1/3
probability of choosen shirt is not black=1-1/3=2/3
possibilty of picking shirt is black=1/4
possibilty of picking shirt is not black=1-1/4=3/4
neither of them is black is =(2/3)*(3/4)=1/2
so answer is 1/2

A question has 7 options. If he chooses correct answer he can get


one mark. If he chooses wrong option he looses one mark. If he
chooses randomly he gets zero marks. Any way he identifies 2
options and eliminates them. If he chooses randomly how many
marks can he gain?

probability to choose correct option=1/7 and associated marks is 1;


probability to choose incorrect option=6/7 and associated marks is x(let);
total marks={(1/7)*1}+{(6/7)*x}=0, i.e. x=-1/6;
now 2 options are eliminated,
so,now,
{(1/5)*1}+{(4/5)*(-1/6)}=1/15;
ans is 1/15.

like chocolate nor like cricket, how many people like both cricket and chocolate?

a. 7
b. 10
c. 15
d. 18

20 neither like chocolate nor cricket


therefore,people likes either chocolate or cricket are+38-20=18
so, now pele like both=people like chocolate + peole likes cricke -
people like either chocolate or cricket
=10+15-18
=7
so,option a) is the correct ans.

Out of 800 families with 4 children each, how many families would
you expect to have 2 boys and 2 girls in each family?

500
400
100
200
300

for this type of problem,always remembr d follwng patterns:The sample space for a family having four
children is:

{(BBBB), (GGGG), (BGGG), (GBGG), (GGBG), (GGGB), (BBGG), (BGBG), (BGGB), (GBGB), (GBBG),
(GGBB), (BBBG), (BBGB), (BGBB), (GBBB)}

B - stands for Boy and G - stands for girl

a) For a family to have two boys and two girls it is: {(BBGG), (BGBG), (BGGB), (GBGB), (GBBG),
(GGBB)} = 6 elements
Its probability = 6/16 = 3/8 = 0.375

Hence, the probability for 800 families = (0.375) x(800) = 300

b) A family to have atleast one boy = 1 - P(All gilrs) = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16 = 0.9375

Hence, the probability for 800 families = (0.9375) x (800) = 750

c) Probability of children of both sexes = 1 - {P(all boys) + P(all girls)}

= 1 - 1/8 = 7/8 = 0.875

Hence, the probability for 800 families = (0.875) x(800) = 700

Three cars A, B and C are participating in a race.A is twice as likely


as B to win and B is thrice as likely as C to win. What is the
probability that B will win, if only one of them can win the race?
p(A)=2*p(B)
P(B)=3*p(c)
P(A) +P(B)+P(C) =1
2 * P(B) + P(B)+P(B)/3 =1
10*p(B) /3=1
P(B)=3/10

Aniket and kumari are a married couple (dont ask me who he is and
who she is)! They have two kids, one of them is a girl. Assume
safely that the probability of each gender is 1/2.
What is the probability that the other kid is also a girl?
Hint: It is not 1/2 as you would first think.

The following are possible combinations of two children that form a sample space in any earthly
family:

Girl - Girl

Girl - Boy

Boy - Girl

Boy - Boy

Since we know one of the children is a girl, we will drop the Boy-Boy possibility from the sample
space.

This leaves only three possibilities, one of which is two girls. Hence the probability is 1/3

A and B throws dice.what is the probability that A's throws is not


greater than B's throws?

A's throw throw could be greater than B by following ways

(2,1)
(3,2) (3,1)
(4,3) (4,2) (4,1)
(5,4) (5,3) (5,2) (5,1)
(6,5) (6,4), (6,3) (6,2), (6,1)
So in total, there are 15 possible outcomes in which the throw could exceed.

So in the probability in which A's throw can exceed is

15/36 or 5/12

Probability of failure = 1-p

= 1-15/36 = 21/36 = 7/12


probability that A's throws is not greater than B's throws=7/12(ans)

a drawer holds 4 red hats and for blue hats. What is the probability
of getting exactly 3 red hats or exactly 3 blue hats when taking out
4 hats at random and return every hat to drawer before taking out
another one

It is quite simple.

When you take out hats one by one after replacement, there are equal chances of getting red or blue
hat.

So possible outcomes are


RRRB, RRBR,RBRR,BRRR, BBBR,BBRB,BRBB,RBBB.. with exactly three red or blue hats.
RRBB,BBRR,RBRB,BRBR,BRRB,RBBR, BBBB,RRRR.. with other combinations.

so out of 16 possible combinations , eight are desired combinations.


so probability of getting exactly 3 red hats or exactly 3 blue hats when taking out 4 hats at random
and return every hat to drawer before taking out another one = 8/16 =1/2

there are two boxes one containing 10 red balls and other
containing 10 green balls.you are allowed to move the balls
between the boxes so that when you choose a box at random an a
ball at random from that box the probability of getting a ball is
maximised.find the maximum probability.
1)14/19,
2)3/4,
3)1/2,
4)37/38
To maximise probability, transfer all red balls except 1 from box1 to box2.So now box1 will have 1 red
ball and box2 will have 19(9red + 10 green)balls. Now probability of selecting box1 from those is 1/2.
Since there is 1 red ball only, prbability of selecting red ball will be 1. So for box1 total is
(1/2)(1)=1/2. Similarly for box2 its (1/2)(9/19). Add both you get 14/19

A Box has 13 white chips, 7 blue chips and 6 green chips. What is

The bacteria has the probability of split into 3 and probability to die
is 1/3rd of the total bacteria.Let the probability is P.Some of them
survived with probability 1/5.Then which among the following
relation is true?
a)P=1/3+1/5*3
b)P=1/5*(1/8-3)

here prob for dying = 1/3


hence prob of survival = 1/5
if they survive, they will be splited into 3 more bacteria
hence, p = (1/3) + (3* 1/5)
A gambler has in his pocket a fair coin and a two-headed coin. He
withdraws a coin at random and
flips it twice. If the first flip is Heads, what is the probability that the
second flip is Heads ?

probability of finding head with fair coin=1/2*1/2=1/4.


probability of finding head with unfair coin is 1/2*1=1/2.
total probabilty of getting head=1/4+1/2=3/4.

taking that India wins the semi-final and final.Prob is (2/3)^2


this gets multiplied to the league stage...

in league stage, if India has won all the games, the prob. of winning is (2/3)^10 for the 10 matches
played...

if India had lost anyone of the matches, the prob. is


(8/3)*(2/3)^9..
where 8(1/3) is the prob. of losing anyone of the 8 league matches.

The crew of a rowing team of 8 members is to be chosen from 12


men (M1, M2, …., M12) and 8 women (W1, W2,…., W8), such that
there are two rows, each row occupying one the 2 sides of the boat
and that each side must have 4 members including at least one
women. Further it is also known W1 and M7 must be selected for
one of its sides while M2, M3 and M10 must be selected for other
side. What is the number of ways in which rowing team can be
arranged.

7C1*14C2*4!*4!
second side will be definitely contain woman as there should be one women on each side so no of
ways 7C1
and remaing 2 places we have to fill from 14 remaining people ways 14C2 and each side can be
arranged in 4! Ways

There are 14 spots. Each spot has 8 seats. 28 people seated in all
spots. No similar number of people sat in any spot. How many spot
left with no people at all.
a) 7
b) 10
c) 8
d) 12

ans: 7

total 14 spots with 8 chairs


at each spot different number of people
so, possible combinations
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8
but,
only 28 people their
so,
1+2+3+4+5+6+7=28
so 7 possibilities
vacant=14-7=7

There are two boxes, one containing 21 red balls and the other
containing 25 green balls. You are allowed to move the balls
between the boxes so that when you choose a box at random and a
ball at random from the chosen box, the probability of getting a red
is maximized. This maximum probability is
(a) 0.5 (b) 0.63 (c) 0.72 (d) 0.48
0.72
we will keep 1 red ball in 1 box and rest 20 in another box.
then total prob.=
1/2 +1/2*2/9=13/18

A bag contains 1100 tickets numbered 1, 2, 3, ... 1100. If a ticket is


drawn out of it at random, what is the probability that the ticket
drawn has the digit 2 appearing on it?

A. 291/1100
B. 292/1100
C. 290/1100
D. 301/1100

within 1 to 100 there are 19 numbers containing digit 2.2 first is 20 to 29 there are 10 numbers and 2
12,32,-,- ------92.
and 200 to 299 there are 100 numbers. so 1100 contain 290 numbers containing digit 2.(100---19 so
100 contain 190 ,excluding 200 to 299) 190+100=290.
so 290/1100 is answer.

4 men throw a die each simultaneously. Find the probability that at


least 2 people get the same number.

13/18 as 1-(probability of not getting same no.)=1-((6*5*4*3)/(6*6*6*6))


The first person rolls a die, and gets a number.

The second person has a 5/6 chance of rolling a different number.

The third person has a 4/6 chance of rolling a number different from those two.

The fourth person has a 3/6 chance of rolling a number different from all three.

The odds that no two will roll the same number is 5/6*4/6*3/6 = 5/18 = .2777...

That's the odds that no two will roll the same number, so the odds that two (or more) of them will roll
the same number is 1-5/18 = 13/18 = .7222...

100 coins are tossed. Probability of getting 50 heads is equal to


probability of getting 51 heads. That probability is??
p=probability of getting one head in one trail
the total number of trails n=100
then by using binomial dist with parameters n,p
P(50)=p(51)
((1-p)/50)=(p/51)
p=(51/101)

a bag contains 2/3rd blue balls and rest are pink.then there are
some part of blue balls are defective and some part of black balls
are defective(i don't recall the exact value)n tatal non defective
balls are 146.then total no. of balls in bag.?
ANS:432

a bag contains 2/3rd blue balls and rest are pink.5/9 blue balls are defective and 7/8 pink balls are
defective.total non defective balls are 146.then total no. of balls in bag.?

sol:let balls in bag be x


blue=2x/3 ,pink=x/3
non defective blue balls=(4/9)*(2x/3)=8x/27,
....do........ pink =(1/8)*(x/3)=x/24
so (8x/27)+(x/24)=146
on solving x=432.So total balls=432

The Israelis MOSAD group has n Assassin for the role of Killing ISIS
Terrorists, who help in smooth killing of Terrorists who intruded in
their country. Every Agents can either manage to shoot a terrorist
or miss it.

Out of these n Killing Assassins, m assassins try to shoot the


terrorist fairly, that is, they are unbiased, while the rest of them are
biased. The probability that a terrorist will be hit by a shot if the
Killing Assissin is biased is 2/3, otherwise the probability is 1/2.

Now MOSAD Chief figures out this mess by selecting a Killing


Assassin randomly. He tricks that particular Killing Assassin in
shooting the same terrorist twice. The first time, the Killing Assassin
shoots the terrorist, while the other time, he ends up missing it.

Chief wants to know what are the chances that the selected Killing
Assistant was NOT biased.

Given data is Total number of assassin is 8 and out of 8, 5 are


unbiased assassins.

Answers may be one of the option
