Answer : 4. "90/91"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Option D Explanation: Let S be the sample space. Then,n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14 = C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001 Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5) ⇒C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191 Required probability = 1-191=9091
Q: A, B and C can do a piece of work in 72, 48 and 36 days respectively. For first p/2 days, A & B work together and for next ((p+6))/3days all three worked together.

Answer : 2. "1/6"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1/6 Explanation: Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36 Total work = 144 units Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day According to the given data, 2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100 3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54 p = 198/16.5 p = 12 days. Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day (C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Answer : 1. "175"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 175 Explanation: Let the number of males be 'M'Let the number of females be 'F'From the given conditions,(F-15)=2M.....(i)F=5(M-45).....(ii)By solving the equations (1) & (2) we get M = 80 Then substitute M = 80 in (1)F = 2M + 15F = 2 x 80 + 15=> F = 175Therefore, number of males = 80 and females = 175 in the party.
