Q). From a tower of 120 m high, the angle of depression of a car is 30°. Find how far the car is from the tower.
A) 120/√3 m
B) 60√3 m
C) 80√3 m
D) 120√3 m
View Answer
D) 120√3 m
Explanation: From the figure
tan 30° = AB/BC
1/√3 = 120/BC ⇒BC = 120√3
∴ Distance to the car from the tower
= 120√3m

Q). A box contains 7 red marbles, 8 white marbles. What is the possibility of not getting red marble?
A) 7/15
B) 8/15
C) 2/15
D) None
View Answer
B) 8/15
Explanation: Total marbles in a box = 7 red + 8 white = 15 marbles
No. of red marbles = 7
Probability of getting red marbles Probability of not getting red marbles = p(E) = 7/15
Probability of not getting red marbles = P(E) = 1-P(E)
= 1 – 7/15
= 8/15
Q). One card is drawn from a well – shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting an ace?
A) 1/13
B) 2/13
C) 3/13
D) 4/13
View Answer
A) 1/13
Explanation: No. of cards in a deck = 52
No. of Aces in a deck = 4
∴ Required probability= P(E) = 4/52 = 1/13
Q). If a die is rolled once, what is the probability of getting a prime number?
A) 2
B) 1
C) 1/4
D) 1/2
View Answer
D) 1/2
Explanation: Total out comes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
No. of out comes = 6
Favorable out comes are = 2, 3, 5
No. of favorable out comes = 3
∴ Required probability = 3/6
= 1/2
Q). The mean of 6, 5, 4, x, 2 is 4. What is the value of x?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6
View Answer
A) 3
Explanation: Mean of 6, 5, 4, x, 2 is 4
X = = 4
17+x = 20
⇒ x = 20-17
= 3
Q). What is the median of 16, 12, 4, 5, 6?
A) 5
B) 16
C) 6
D) 12
View Answer
C) 6
Explanation: Ascending order = 4, 5, 6, 12, 16
Median = (n+1)/2
= (5+1)/2
= 6/2
= 3rd item
∴ Median = 6

Q). If Median = 60, Mean = 61, then Mode =
A) 58
B) 38
C) 48
D) 68
View Answer
A) 58
Explanation: Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
= 3 x 60 — 2 x 61
= 180- 122
= 58
