* 2 the avg no of n members is 32000 and avg of diff. (n-1) members is 33000.Col.
A:what is the avg of total (2n-1) members ColB: 32500. The answer for the the avg no of
n members is 32000 and avg of diff. (n-1) members is 33000.Col. A:what is the avg of
total (2n-1) members ColB: 32500.

is B.

Explanation is :

Total for 1st set is 32000n

Total for 2nd set is 33000(n-1)

total of 2n-1 = 65000n- 33000

Avg = 65000n- 33000/2n-1

Now COL A 65000n- 33000/2n-1 COL B 32000

fo n= 1 COL A: 16000
for n-10 COLA: 32473.6
for n= 100 COLA: 32497.487
for n= 1000 COLA: 32499.749

and also n has to be always greater than zero right?

so COL A> COL B

* 29) a women will feed her birds with 'W'kg per a week, a bird can eat 'F'kg per dialy.
(F>0), the total no. of birds is 'X'
COL A COL B
X 7F/W

* 30) Given S={1,3,5,......397},also given (p,t)where both no. are in set 'S', such that p<t,
where 't'is any integer upto 400. what is the sum of such (p,t) pairs occur.(hint: sum of
first n natural no. is n*(n+1)/2s

ya u r right that v should not take 399..

see here the series is 1,3,5,...397
so,checking for the nth term we get..
397=1+(n-1)2.....
==>n=199..so 397 is the 199th term...
so now form (p,t)..
starting from (397,1),(397,3)....(397,395)=199 terms
(395,1),(395,3).....(395,393)=198
....
.
.
.
.
.
(5,3),(5,1)=2
(3,1)=1 term
so..sum of n terms..where n=199..
ie., 199(200)/2=19900
i think this is the sol..
if i am wrong plz.. correct me

hai shiva
starting from (397,1),(397,3)....(397,395)=199 terms
how did u get this 199 .... its only 198
its (p,t) and hence when t= 397 it can take values frm (1,397)....
(395,397)only u cant take (397,397) because p<t... so there are only 198 terms u got
thevalue of 'n' by taking tn= 397... but actually tn= 395... because (397,397) is not
involved...... so the answer is 19701..

length 10cm(1m=100cm)

* 50) how many 4 digit numbers possible of format xyyx where x!=0 and
x!=y

the answer for the number problem is 9*9 bec when u chose for the x in the thousands
place u are already choosind the number in the units place..

u can choose x in 9 ways (as it cant take 0) and u can choose y in 9 ways .. all the digits
except the one chosen for x

hence answer will be 9*9 =81

it will b 81
let me tell u
x could be anything except 0 ie 9possibilities
now y could be anything else x ie again 9 possibilities ( u will include 0 too , but not x)
thus 9 * 9 = 81

* 61) the probability of randomly encountering a citizen of africa country on the campus

* 62) Workers at Companies X and Y are paid the same

, respectively. What is the probability that
base hourly rate. Workers at company X are paid 1.5
times the base hourly rate for each hour worked per
week in excess of the first 37, while workers at
Company Y are paid 1.5 times the base hourly rate
for each hour worked per week in excess of the first
40. In a given week, how many hours must a
Company X worker work in order to receive the
same pay as a company Y worker who works 46
hours?
(A) 46
(B) 45
(C) 44
(D) 43
(E) 42 @ Who Cares where

let r be the hourly rate......

till 37 days both x and y are getting 37r each……….

so the difference start frm the 38th day onwards so ignore their wages upto 37the day.....
frm 38 to 40

x receives 1.5 * 3r = 4.5r

y receives 3r

frm 40th day to 46th day y receives 6* 1.5 r = 9r

consider x takes ‘d’ days to reach y’s wage……..

so totally y takes 9 days (38,39….46) while x takes 3 + d days (38,39,40 and ‘d’ days)
to get the wage of 9r.and also x gets 1.5r in each of these ‘d’ days………..

i.e. 4.5r + d* 1.5 r = 3r + 9r

d* 1.5r = 7.5 r …….. i.e. d = 5 days………

so a took 40 + 5 days = 45 days…………

if u can calculate the salary of two for 46hrs u will see that Xis getting 50.5r and Y is
getting 49r . the difference is 1.5 r which is for one week ....hence 46-1 =45 hr..will be the
time required for X .....hope u get it..
