Step 1
T his is a little complicated, so f ollow caref ully
Step 2
For making the explanation and the equations simpler, think of the number on the pieces of
paper in the f orm of (2n+1)
Here, we can see f rom the equation 2n+1 = 19, so n=9
Step 3
T he probability of getting 3 numbers in an A.P by selecting 3 numbers randomly between 1
and 19 is the ratio of
- Number of ways we can get an A.P f rom 3 random numbers between 1 to 19, and
- Number of ways to select 3 random numbers between 1 to 19
Step 4
Let's look at the second part f irst. T hree tickets can be drawn f rom (2n+1) numbers is in [(2
x n) + 1] C 3 ways
i.e. Number of ways 3 tickets can be drawn =
(2n+1)(2n)(2n-1)
3x2x1
Simplif ying this, we get the number of ways to draw 3 numbers between 1 and 19 =
n(4n2-1)
3
Here n = 9, so we can simplif y it as 969
Step 5
Now f or the ways we can get an A.P f rom 3 numbers bwetween Arithmetic Progressions of
3 numbers would be a sequence of 3 numbers that are separated by a common interval e.g.
1,2,3 or 3,5,7 etc.
T hey are in the f orm (a, a+d, a + 2d), where a is an integer f rom 1 to (19-2), and d is
another integer
So it's helpf ul to think of the solution in terms of this interval.
So we'll think of all the sequences that have an interval 1, then sequences with interval 2,
and so on
Step 6
So what are the possible sequences with interval 1. T hey are
(1,2,3)
(2,3,4)
...
(2n-1,2n,2n+1)
T here are theref ore 2n-1 such possible sequences
Step 7
Similarly, let's look at A.P with interval 2 between the terms. T hey are
(1,3,5)
(2,4,6)
....<2n-3,2n-1,2n+1>
T here are 2n-3 such possible sequences
Step 8
We can generalize this to say that the number of such sequences with interval 'd' is (2n(2d-1))
Obviously the largest possible integer is d=n, with just one sequence (1, n+1, 2n+1)
Step 9
So the total number of such sequences is
(2n-1) + (2n-3) + (2n-5) + ... + 5 + 3 + 1
T his is itself an AP with n terms and d=2
T he sum of this sequence is
[2 + (n-1)2]
2
Simplif ying, we get n2
Here n=9, so this is 81
Step 10
So the probability is

Dhs 270000
Step 1
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that the table below shows prof its of 5
companies in a business group last year.
Company Profit
T otal prof its made by the business group = Dhs 500,000 + Dhs 200,000 + Dhs 400,000 +
Dhs 200,000 + Dhs 50,000 = Dhs 1350000
Step 2
Average prof it of the business group =
T otal prof its made by the business group

Number of companies in a group
1350000
5
= 270000
Step 3
Now the average prof it of the business group is Dhs 270000.

Step 1
We have 3 badges and 3 students. Let's f irst see in how many dif f erent ways can the
badges be distributed among the students
Step 2
We know that 3 objects can be distributed in 3 ! = 3 x 2 x...x 1 = 6 ways
Step 3
Out of these 6 ways, there is only one distribution where each student got his or her own
badge
Step 4
So the probability of each student getting his or her own badge =
1

(4) 14
Step 1
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that the given data is
12 , 14 , 11 , 21 , 13 , 21 , 20 , 20 , 14 , 13 , 13
Step 2
T o f ind the median f irst of all arrange the data in the ascending order,
you get 11 , 12 , 13 , 13 , 13 , 14 , 14 , 20 , 20 , 21 , 21
Step 3
Median is the middle number in a sorted list.
T otal number of terms are 11 which is odd.
So, Median = (
(n + 1)
)th
2
(where n is the number of terms)
=(
11 + 1
)th
2
=(
12
)th
2
= 6th
Since 6th term in the data 11 , 12 , 13 , 13 , 13 , 14 , 14 , 20 , 20 , 21 , 21 is 14,
theref ore Median = 14
Step 4
T heref ore the median of the data set is 14.
(5)

Step 1
T he two dice that are rolled can show any of these values
Dice 1 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Dice 2 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
So we can get a total of 36 combinations between them (6 x 6)
Step 2
If we take one value f rom the list of possible values f rom each Dice, we get numbers
ranging f rom 2 (when both Dice show 1) to 12 (when both dice show 6).
Let's enumerate the prime numbers between 2 and 12. T hey are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11
We need to see in how many ways we can get each of these values
Let's put the value rolled by the dice as (x,y), where x is the value rolled by Dice 1, and y the
value rolled by Dice 2
- 2: T he only way to get this is when we roll (1,1). 1 possibility
- 3: We can get this by (1,2) or (2,1). 2 possibilities.
- 5: We can get this by (2,3), (3,2), (1,4) or (4,1). 4 possibilities.
- 7: We can get this by (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1). 6 possibilities.
- 11: We can get this by (5,6), or (6,5). 2 Possibilities
T his gives us a total of 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15 possible ways to get a prime number
Step 3
So the probability of getting the two numbers add up to a prime is
15

(6) a. 39
Step 1
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that Kadin has scored an average of 32
runs in 5 innings.
Let Kadin score in the last inning = x
His scores in 4 innings out of 5 innings = 26, 38, 30, 27
Step 2
Average score =
T otal score in 5 innings

total innings
32 =
26 + 38 + 30 + 27 + x
5
32 =
121 + x
5
32 5 = 121 + x
160 = 121 + x
121 + x = 160
x = 160 - 121
x = 39
Step 3
T heref ore Kadin score in the last inning is 39 .

b.
116
Step 1
We know that, the integers divisible by 2 and 3 are also divisible by 6.
T heref ore, the number of integers divisible by 2 and not divisible by 3
= T he number of integers divisible by 2 - T he number of integers divisible by 6
Step 2
T he number of integers in the set 1, 2, 3, ...116, divisible by 2 = quotient of 116/2 = 58
T he number of integers in the set 1, 2, 3, ...116, divisible by 6 = quotient of 116/6 = 19
Now, the number of integers in the set 1, 2, 3, ...116, divisible by 2 and not divisible by 3 =
58 - 19 = 39
Step 3
T he probability that an integer in the set 1, 2, 3, ...116 is divisible by 2 and not divisible by 3
=
T he integers in the set 1, 2, 3, ...116 is divisible by 2 and not divisible by 3

T he total number of integers in the set 1, 2, 3, ...116

Step 1
T he number of possible outcomes when 6 coins are tossed is 26
Step 2
T o f ind out the probability of getting at least one tails, let's look at the outcomes where
this is not true
i.e. the number of outcomes where you do not have even one tails
Obviously, this is the case where you have all the tosses giving heads
Step 3
T here is only one case where you can get all heads
So the probability of getting at least one tails = 1 -

(9) b. 37
Step 1
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that the age of the employees was as
f ollows
41 , 36 , 47 , 32 , 48 , 41 , 27 , 31 , 26 , 35 , 43
Sum of age of the employees = 41 + 36 + 47 + 32 + 48 + 41 + 27 + 31 + 26 + 35 + 43 =
407
T otal number of employees = 11
Step 2
Average age of the employees =
Sum of age of the employees

T otal number of employees
407
11
= 37
Step 3
Now the average age of the employees is 37 .
(10) c. 69
Step 1
If the average marks of 20 students was 71, then
Sum of all the marks of the students = 20 x 71 = 1420
Step 2
T o f ind out the average of the other 18 students, we subtract the marks of Givon and
Kamal
T otal marks of other 18 students = 1420 - 72 - 106 = 1242
Step 3
T he average marks of the remaining students =
1242
= 69

Step 1
First we need to f ind the total number of tyres that are given here.
Step 2
We add the number of tyres 60 + 340 + 440 + 464 + 696 = 2000.
Step 3
T o f ind the probability that the tyre Anan purchased would last more than 20000 kilometers,
we need to add the number of tyres that lasted more than 20000 kilometers.
T his is 464 + 696 = 1160.
Step 4
T he probability that the tyre lasts more than 20000 km =
1160
2000

Step 1
T here are 366 days in a leap year
Step 2
If we divide 366 by 7 (since there are seven days in a week), we will get an answer of 52,
with a remainder of 2
T his means that a leap year will have 52 Sundays, 52 Mondays, 52 T uesdays, 52
Wednesdays, 52 T hursdays, 52 Fridays and 52 Saturdays.
Apart f rom these there will be two other days. T his means that there will be two weekdays
that occur 53 times.
Step 3
T he two days could be (Sunday, Monday), (Monday, T uesday), (T uesday, Wednesday),
(Wednesday, T hursday), (T hursday, Friday), (Friday, Saturday), or (Saturday, Sunday) - a
total of seven combinations
Step 4
Out of these seven combinations, two of them have a Sunday
Step 5
So the probability of either of those two days being a Sunday is

even
Step 1
T he average of any f our consecutive odd integers is always even.
For example 1, 3, 5 and 7 are the f our consecutive odd integers,
1+3+5+7
average of 1, 3, 5 and 7 =
4
=
16
4
=4
Which is an even number.
Step 2
T heref ore we can say that the average of any f our consecutive odd integers is always an
even.
(14)
12
Step 1
T o f ind the average, let's take all the ages in terms of months. We get,
Aziz's age = 12 x 12 + 4 = 148 months old.
Kalil's age = 12 x 12 + 5 = 147 months old.
Ghassan's age = 13 x 12 +
x 12 = 165 months old.
4
Hadya's age = 12 x 12 +
x 12 = 150 months old.
2
Step 2
T o get the average, we add these ages and divide by 4.
T he average age in months =
148 + 147 + 165 + 150

4
612
= 153 months
Step 3
Converting 153 months to years, we get,
T he Average age = 153/12 = 12 years and 9 months.

If you look at the given table f rom top to bottom caref ully, you will notice that the marks
obtained by 30 students in German are arranged in ascending order.
Step 2
T otal number of students are 30 which is even.
So, median is equal to the average of (
n
2
)th and (
+1)th student's marks in German,
(where n is the number of students)

(
)th = (
2
(
30
)th = 15th
2
+1)th = (
30
+ 1)th = 16th
If you count the number of students in tally marks column of the table, you will notice that
the marks obtained by 15th and 16th students in German are 5 and 6 respectively
median =
5+6
